From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Found this gem in one of the config files for Fedora Sway:
"This horror has to exist because...there are actual implementations that take this seriously..."
Oh Fedora Sway, you so sassyyyyy
An overly dramatic programmer writes a useful comment explaining their implementation? I like it!
Did I just hear a trumpet?
I’ve written comments like this.
Found a typo on line 172: quesiton -> question
Oops. xD
Google Chrome has lots of oddball issues. I've got a personal gripe with Chrome animations. Chrome animates elements on page load occasionally. Animations can and do de-sync in that weird state for some ungodly reason. What I love about this particular bug is that the bug ceases to exist when you use the built-in animation debugger. So Chrome got an animation debugger, but that animation debugger changes the state of animations to an extent that it becomes useless to troubleshoot animations in some situations. Mind blowing.
Edit: Lemmy doesn't let me post the code snippet for some reason. But it boils down to a temporary class that nullifies animations. When Chrome fires the page load event, the code removes the temporary class.
The more I program, the more I realize hacks like these are the direct result of someone doing something wrong somewhere.
I had to compile perl from source once and the whole make process was pretty amusing.
Congratulations, now I want to compile perl out of curiosity
