why the gently caress would you name your software tool after stalin? it's not even young enough to be this ironic tankie poo poo, someone really did think it was a great joke apparently

funny how this is probably not as big a deal as when some edgelord would come up and name their software after hitler

several idiot hell fuckers from what i saw

mono said "this word is a slur in certain contexts, in case you didn't know" and a bunch of assholes had hilarious self-owning meltdowns

i guess it shouldn't be a black mark against erlang itself but holy poo poo was it a bad look

tbf there were several people on mono's side, but still, what a loving embarrassment

I used to do this until my latitude developed this thing where if I lift it by the corner to the right of the touchpad the flex causes some circuit to break and it bluescreens instantly. And of course it only happens at client sites so IT doesn’t believe it’s a problem.

I’ve tried jiggling the ram modules and every other connector I could find with the bottom cover open but no dice.. does popping it into the oven to reflow trick work with laptop mobos
