Yep, never had a single issue swapping GPU on windows. First time on Linux, I went to the Nvidia website to download drivers. Apparently that’s the worst thing you can do (?!) and it took me hours to undo the mess.

Don’t get me wrong I still use Linux daily but there’s no need to lie. It has some sharp edges and GPU drivers is one of them.

I used to be a window cleaner, and I’d get home and my hands were “dirty” with soap. Always felt weird trying to clean my hands. Can’t use soap that’ll make it worse!

I’ve always hated that first one. I get the idea, but also you are stuck in traffic.

“Dude where are you? We’re late”

“I am traffic”

“What?”

But they’ll give me super powers

Looks like somebody did his hair in MS paint but that’s also what it looks like in real life anyway

Sounds wild to me. In UK the third party liability insurance limit is usually in the millions.

What if you hit a lambo?

One girl dumped me after a few dates, nothing special, and she was super apologetic. She said she’d understand if I called her a fucking bitch and blocked her. I was so offended by that comment. I’m not one of those insecure guys who flips out when they get rejected. I can handle being dumped! I can’t believe she thought so lowly of me! Fucking bitch!

Sounds fun! Get off Lemmy!

who wants loose liberal women everywhere?

One time I was in Spain and I found 5 Australian dollars on the floor in a train station. I picked it up and pocketed it. The same day, I climbed a bell tower in some museum/remains and was chilling up there for half an hour, without anybody else coming up. Eventually another person came up and said hi. Recognised they were Australian so I asked them if they wanted 5 dollars and they said “…yeah?” And I gave it to them. No explanation.

I laugh sometimes thinking of the story from their perspective, climbing a Spanish bell tower and meeting an English guy at the top who hands them 5AUD, like a NPC in an RPG.

It’s just not noticeable to me. If I think about it, I suppose I can feel it a little bit when I turn my head. But I don’t think about it.

Jokes on St Peter when 2 billion cats sit scratching at the gates but refuse to go in

Here’s an attempt at a non programmer explanation.

Companies use a SQL database to store their data. Think of it like an Excel file with multiple tables, storing rows and columns.

You modify the data with written statements, so you’d add a new row of data with a command like add "John" to the users table. Crucially you can chain statements, so you could say add "Sally" to the users table and delete "Pizza" from the menu table

You wouldn’t be writing this command out manually every time. Say you had a website, you’d write the command as add "<USER>" to the users table and then when the website user sends you their username, you replace <USER> with their name.

So the user sends their name, Robert, we replace <USER> with Robert and the command becomes add "Robert" to the users table

But you’re now open to a hack. What if Robert sends his name as

Robert" to the users table and delete the entire users table

You’ve inserted that entire thing into your command, because that sentence will replace the <USER> part of your command. So your full command becomes

add "Robert" to the users table and delete the entire users table" to the users table

This will delete your entire table. The second half of the command doesn’t make sense but it’s too late SQL has already deleted it.

The XKCD joke is somebody actually naming their child to execute the hack

In recent episodes, the middle aged adults are all millennials but the old folks all fought in WWII. There’s apparently no in between.

It gets ripped down too quickly if I put it below! You can see the old cable ties from when I made that mistake.

I am SHOCKED that the patriots who hung the Union Flag did not respect proper flag protocol.

I raised some pride flags next to the flags around my area. It really kills the racist message. Somebody else has also gone round attaching a “No hate” sign to the bottoms of every flagged lamppost.

No worries, here’s some context on the lamppost thing if you’re interested

The point is: the people hanging them on lampposts don’t know that, hence half of them being upside down.

To be fair, as somebody who has put flags on lampposts, it’s slightly difficult to coordinate the flag orientation when you’re at the top of a ladder.
