1. Follow the site-wide rules

2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
    • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
    • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

    • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Basically people will call really visually pleasing things within a hobby porn. Like on some places online you can find food porn, which is simply really delicious looking food that's nicely presented( Yes it's kinda an edgy joke to call it porn).

    But it's not made to be sexual and no one except maybe 0000000000.1% of people( I don't want to think about it) probably get turned on by it.

    Anyway back to riceing DWM and st.

    I think you meant to put that decimal a bit further left....

    Sorry, yes: 0000000000.10000000000%

    Thanks, it makes more sense now.

    What? Its the same as .1%, or. 01? .00000000001 would be what you'd want no?

    It was a joke, I think

    [–] Habahnow@sh.itjust.works 4 points 9 months ago

    Yeah it was a joke.

    I doubt it, looks like a mistake. It's ok to make mistakes, even when they are funny

    It's a joke, but when exposing a number the number of left digits transmit the confidence you have in your number. 0.1 tells you that the "real" number is 0.1a, where 0 <= a < 5. 0.10000000000 is giving you a lot more information than 0.1

    Very neat! Thank you for that little tidbit.

    Surely you mean 0.0999999931082% ?
