You're not wrong. But given how early cave paintings look, maybe bears looked different back then...

If it makes you feel better, that's not Ursa major shown in the picture. The big dipper is just the tail of the bear.
In pineapple express they call it "the dopest dope I ever smoked"... But I now realize that movie is almost 20 years old.
I was going to say this and then second guessed myself.
I then realized I don't know all the lyrics to the song, but based on just the first verse it feels like it has to be.
Hopefully "we're still trying to learn what's best for PC" isn't some sort of code for "PC players are too whiny and won't bend the knee, this weekend was bad PR that wasnt worth it. we just won't release future games on PC"
A lot of people don't know this though. They think it is the "won't fall over" type. They hear "use debian over ubuntu, because it's more stable" or "use debian for servers, because it's more stable" and think it means "You want uptime, so you dont want something crashing". So when they see a bug, it is concerning to them. A distro focused on not falling over must super care about reducing crashes, and don't realize the exact opposite is actually true. The bug was fixed a long time ago, but you don't get it because "don't change" is more important than "don't crash".
If the bug is in a popular package (ie, a super common screensaver) in a very popular distro (and a lot of people have chosen the distro because they think it has less bugs than others), I can imagine the maintainer getting fed up with the bug reports for a bug that was already fixed.
Most people I've seen on Lemmy understands that "stable" means "unchanging"... But every person I've talked to outside of lemmy, thinks it means "less bugs". So clearly it's a very big misunderstanding (Which is basically confirmed by the fact that xscreensaver gets so many invalid bug reports that they felt necessary to do this.)
If you received constant complaints from users about bugs that you had resolved years ago, but package maintainers refused to package, you'd probably get sick of it too.
Daniel Stenberg (author of curl) has blog posts about how everyone in the world uses curl, and as a result include the curl license in their readme, which means he gets mail from people upset about their car not working.
Steam had a big thing recently because the snap of Steam is not official. But yet, they get a TON of bug reports for things that are only broken in the snap.
I imagine having the same conversation of "That bug is already fixed as of 8 months ago" "Well how do I install the latest release?" "I dunno, talk to your distro about that" on a super regular basis, it starts being something that is incredibly infuriating. No one wants to take the anger of aggressive upset people, especially when the fault lies with someone else. He has asked Debian to stop shipping out of date versions of his software in the past. But because open source, they are not obligated to, so he has very limited ways to protect his own interests.
Your issue sounds like it's with Debian for shipping incredibly out of date software and putting jwz into this position in the first place and not with jwz.
This is a daily reminder that "stable" means "unchanging" and in no way refers to the quality of the code. It doesn't mean "won't fall over"... That's a different type of stable which debian stable absolutely does not guarantee.
A bug in debian will remain present in debian until the next update a year from now. If the bug breaks your workflow, then find a new workflow or a new distro.
I had the same reaction originally though, because I feel like I had seen this previously as just "bending" the list of 1-100 in half.
1+2+3+4+...+49+50
100+99+98+97+...+52+51
=
101+101+101+...
101 * 50.
So you have to do a bit more thinking to define your equation but the equation takes you straight to S instead of 2S.
And since the meme just has + ... instead of showing where the end of the list was, I see how one could easily mix up the 2 approaches.
He looks like a mix of BJ Novak and Hugh Laurie to me.
Having a kodi box that has all the apps that I would have on roku with a nice ui would be the dream. I've never gotten kodi to a point where my wife could install a Hulu app(for example) if she wanted to watch hulu. The YouTube experience was also terrible. Kodi fits my ideals for "open platform" and doesn't for my "I don't want to be doing IT for my family"
This has been the thing for me. I get really bored and lose focus when doing all the obvious repetitive stuff. And the obvious stuff is the stuff I find copilot does best. For anything that requires thought I'm engaged. Those are the fun parts of the job. It lets me do more of the fun part.
The one major downside that I've found is that sometimes I just want to tab complete a long variable/function name, and because of copilot i dont have "old style" tab completion anymore. (I could definitely still handle this myself, but i haven't)
edit: this all to say that I don't use copilot to write code that I don't know how to write, I use copilot to write code that I've written 1000 times before and don't want to write again. Copilot does a good job of looking through all the open files for context to help make sure the suggestions actually fit into the codebase's pre-existing style.
