@icedquinn huge rel. I sometimes use it for stupid shit like a single-threaded Fibonacci sequence calculator just cause I like it, but never have a reason to actually use it for something bigger. I don’t think I’ve written multi-process Erlang code since I’ve been learning it, and that’s most of the whole point of the language lol
@LukeAlmighty@thatguyoverthere@dave “There are infinitely more ways to distort reality then to describe it accurately.” proves it’s more likely to more truth by believing mainstream narrative than random conspiracy theories though lol
@lanodan years ago when I was using Gentoo, webkit2gtk, the qt equivalent, Firefox and Chromium all came at somewhere between 40 minutes and 2+ hours. I think Chromium was the worst offender, Firefox being on more or less webkit2gtk level. That was around FF 58 though.
@olmitch@coolboymew might be, brains are funny things, but I get the childhood memory vibe from it. May be my brain joining a childhood memory of another knock-off with a memory of that video though. (I don’t remember watching it but I might’ve, I watched a bunch of Ashen’s videos on this kind of crap.)
@hj@VD15 I talked with people recommending connecting ground to a lightning rod in an apartament building that doesn’t provide a ground connection. That’s when I understood where the myths about disconnecting electrical appliances from sockets during a thunderstorm come from.
@lore@ned it wouldn’t be so bad if it was just that; they usually also huff a bunch of copium and declare that all of humanity’s shortcomings are in fact social adaptations to capitalism and were you to eliminate it we’d all happily altruistically cooperate holding hands under a smiling sun with nobody trying to take an advantage of anybody…
@tk it’s bewildering, most of them would get caught by the most basic heuristic spam filters implemented for emails 20 years ago. It’s like YouTube either doesn’t have anyone working on spam prevention or they have grown so stale on their closed garden they just no longer care.
@tk I remember when it was still recommended over ext4 by some people who considered it too new and potentially unstable. Funny thought now that the situation with ext4/btrfs is similar, probably even more advanced atm.
