Who said that the word doesn’t haue “u”?

Was that my Father that went hence so fast?
Ben. It was: what sadnes lengthens Romeo's houres?
Ro. Not hauing that, which hauing, makes them short
Ben. In loue.
Romeo. Out.
Ben. Of loue.
Rom. Out of her fauour where I am in loue.
Ben. Alas that loue so gentle in his view,

…good enough for Shakespeare, good enough for me. No need for a fifth letter!

I’m half-joking with the above, but the word did use to be spelled with “U” instead of “V”. Past then both were taken as the same letter. [/trivia]

Fun fact: strawberry was admitted to the psychiatric yard once pepper and cucumber joined the berry club.

Because at the end of the day it means “hey, developers working on foo, ditch it and move to bar, then try to convince bar devs to allow you to make it more foo-like”. And that’s for two whole DEs, not just one or two applications.

didn’t gnome 2 get forked into Mate?

Yup. I use it. It has a few rough corners (e.g. the weather panel suddenly stopped working), but it works fairly well.

I feel like eventually it should be merged into Xfce. But that’s harder than it looks like.

Thank you, and sorry - I made sure to read the FAQ, but I couldn’t find the answer for this specific question.

Why do jc141 releases use DwarFS, instead of more typical compression formats like tarballs?

Seriously… it takes a big amount of stupidity, or a similar character flaw, to spam Microsoft products through a Reddit link in a federation where most people don’t want to touch either Reddit or Microsoft with a 3m pole.

So, whoever is behind this spam account: stop chewing on spoiled hay, you freaking barn animal.

The meme jokes that they want documents for everything and a bit more, when you’re interacting with them. Even the school report with your notes from your second elemental school year. Latin American governments and their services are always like this, that’s why OP is calling it “fockin’ bureaucracy”.

Pick your choice:

• “Actually, it’s grammar Nazism.”
• “I don’t understand, why are you calling the other poster a Nazi?”
• “You’re saying that because you’re an [insert random adjective] [insert random adjective] lol lmao”

For people downvoting the meme: it’s just crude humour. I’ll translate it:

–But did you know she’s underage?
–You didn’t know everything either

OP himself mentions “Attention, the picture contains fascist people.” (Merdolini and Hitler.)

truck-kun wants to know your location

Yeah, nah, you’re too big. Your place is the garden.

That’s literally what I do in real life. Smol cute jumping spiders are left alone, garden tarantulas get forcibly relocated back to the garden, brown recluses are murdered with extreme prejudice. I never found a wandering spider but they do pop up in my region of the globe so… if I found one I’d be probably fumigating my whole house just to make sure that none survived.

Sometimes I wonder if the Claudian letters stuck and, just like we got X for /ks/ (or /gz/… or /ʃ/… or whatever, this letter is a mess), we also got a Ↄ for /ps/. Maybe modern people would be also spamming Ↄ for this sort of “rule of cool”?

That’s good to know!

At least in BiglyBT, the process is automated. The match is based on exact file size; it’s a crappy technique* (as the odds of a false match are rather high) and the usage case is fairly small (two identical files across different torrents), so not too commonly used.

*odds are that Vuze implemented it this way because requesting a hash would break the BitTorrent protocol, and prevent interoperability of multiple clients.

It’s a way to share files across seeders/peers of different torrents, as long as the torrents contain at least one identical file. For example, let’s say that:

• you’re downloading torrent1. It shares the files A and B. You got A already, but since the number of seeders dropped considerably, you’re having a really hard time downloading B.
• there’s also torrent2, sharing files B and C. Fairly active, with lots of seeders.

Without swarm merging, you’re stuck waiting for new seeders or peers from torrent1 that have the file B. With swarm merging, your torrent program will get the file B from people sharing torrent2 too.

I recall this feature from Vuze; but apparently BiglyBT also uses it.
