I think you misread a word there

All I see is a bed with an extra pillow.

I think so, but if I’m honest, there’s a chance I’m just imagining it 😅

I’m pretty sure that generally some particles break off from either side whenever you cut something in half. When I cut paper with scissors I get a distinct smell, that’s clearly paper particles that have escaped into the air. Under the right conditions you may even see some dust.

When using a saw it is very explicitly removing material to create a gap between the two sides. You can see this clearly in a lot of woodworking videos on YouTube. For other tools like a knife, it’s not as obvious, but I still think some material will inevitably be lost no matter what you do.

Maybe some extremely specialized nano-scale methods can cut things without losing material, but I doubt that’s something you can do on an everyday life scale.

Disclaimer: I’m not an expert and I did 0 research, just giving my opinion and personal knowledge (which may be wrong).

Israel?

Yes, this isn’t new but it’s resurfacing thanks to the Steam Machine. Basically (off my memory), part of your title is accurate: AMD did create a FOSS driver with HDMI 2.1 which does not violate HDMI forum requirements, but the HDMI forum still vetoed it. I don’t know if it would necessarily “disclose the specification” as the first part of your title suggests, but I didn’t dig into the details enough to say for certain.

Basically a dick move by HDMI. Maybe Valve can push their weight on this, we’ll see.

That’d be suicide.

Are there a lot of 65" PC monitors?

I wanted to downvote you for failing to pick up on the sarcasm, but then you went and did all that math that I was too lazy to do and I ended up upvoting you instead. Damn you!

Either this is faked for the meme or something is very very wrong.

Thanks… I have downvoted my own comment in shame. Godspeed!

Obligatory nitpick: open weights ≠ open source. For it to be open source, they need to release the training data as well as all the parameters they used in training it.

If a fake laptop isn’t fake running Linux I don’t want it in my home.

According to https://joinmastodon.org/about :

Mastodon gGmbH is a non-profit from Germany that develops the Mastodon software.

[…]

Mastodon, Inc. is a non-profit entity in the United States that supports the growth and operational capabilities of Mastodon, including being able to receive tax-deductible U.S. donations and in-kind support.

Doesn’t seem like it was a move, just a different entity. Seems like there’s a bit more history to this if you want to look it up, for example the German GmbH lost its nonprofit status in 2024, strangely.

Brilliant

YourJokeButWorse

Yeah…

I wouldn’t say this is “what GitHub has become” per se, only a handful of unlucky projects need to deal with PR/issue spam. What @[email protected] said is right, the Linux PR spam is largely inconsequential because GitHub PRs (or issues) were never accepted in the first place.

But then there Express.js, which receives loads of useless PRs because some terrible YouTube tutorials show kids how to make baby’s first GitHub pull request: https://github.com/expressjs/express/pulls?page=1&q=is%3Apr+is%3Aclosed+Readme.md So in a way this is what GitHub has become. This and the inescapable AI crap.

No.

A joke like this is funny once. The screenshot in the OP can be reshared endlessly (whether it’s real or not), and anyone trying to make another iteration of this joke is just spamming the project with useless noise. It makes work for maintainers.

Fortunately it seems like this hasn’t been a problem in this particular repository, unlike the Linux repository which received endless spam before GH gave them the tools to block it. But if this becomes a trend, Arch might need to deal with dozens of joke issues per week, and there’s just nothing funny about that.

Edit: just confirmed that the OP screenshot is fake, which is good. (Issue #4269 doesn’t exist yet and the number itself is two memes.)

Thanks.

What I still didn’t figure out about the comment I replied to is:

1. What is each row? They’re labeled I, II, III, IV. What’s being counted?
2. Why did they link to a home interior design website under “via”?
