I wish I had 10% of that confidence

I want to know the story behind 'Petter broke it'.

I wonder if "pacman -Syu" means "I tried this arch command on debian and it didn't work" or it means "we forgot to change this part of the form when adapting it from the arch community" :D

JAA: pere == Petter

self-degradation :)

nicolas17: I expect its a joke, because in Debian pacman is a game, which can lead to hilarity packages.debian.org/sid/pacman bugs.debian.org/752114

btw why does Debian not install 'sl' by default

it should be in the base image

"Interestingly /usr/games/pacman seems to swallow the given options without issues" yes that's what pacman does, except for --ghost

pabs: Aw, I was hoping for an in-joke about how Petter repeatedly broke important Debian systems etc. :-)

:) I've less than zero complaints about pere

:-)

oops too much friction

a tragedy in three acts

JAA: I think it's derived from "Allan broke it" from i.redd.it/aclopc97a83z.jpg, with Allan being the main dev of pacman (but is also part of Arch Linux staff)

kpcyrd: Ah. Next question: where does 'Allan broke it' come from? :-P

"... broke it" is an Arch Linux meme but I think it's older than I've been staff so I don't know for sure

people also sometimes have brokeit as suffix on their irc handle

Ah

afaik it's about (jokingly) assigning blame for some kind of problem to a single individual

Yeah, we blamed fionera for any breakages here for a while. :-)

hm, scihub court case is in 10 days

is it streamed?

^ asking the right questions right there :-)

fionera was our resident telegram url destroyer

We need you to work your magic for a few days to get the queue back down :D

does Electron have two copies of the V8 Javascript engine, one as part of node.js and another as part of Chromium?

"Electron in a simplified way is an attempt to replace the V8 engine used in Chromium with the new more general purpose oriented one of Node.js. It exposes a few extra APIs to node.js to allow for opening chromium windows, but also every chromium window using a <script> tag will interpret it with the node.js engine." - at least that's what stackoverflow.com/a/38166865

says....

ah

menus in VSCode 1.92 were displaying super large on Linux

while trying to figure out what changed, I ended up at code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_92

which makes Firefox eat 100% CPU (across 3 processes)

the web was a mistake

The web was indeed a mistake. There's now work ongoing for a JS API to summarise text with AI. :-|

It's supposedly going to be a built-in model, too.

Let's hope it's some sort of lightweight GPT-2 and everyone will hate it.

are they going to standardize the model?

That's so crazy. If we think how long it took to have a somewhat standardized solution for hyphenization...

I wonder if this could lead to plausible-looking SEO spam sites becoming even cheaper to create by having each visitor generate more pages of LLM spam for them...

(would be ironic if google ended up shooting themselves in the foot by this)

datechnoman sorry I am trying to bring it up but a lot of the channels I find have already been run

Oh wait you want it DOWN
