It’s a method definition. C#'s standard formatting puts the left bracket brace of the method body on a new line. It’s equivalent to:

private bool IsSus(){
    ...
}

No, those are the punishments. They won’t hurt you, but you have to tolerate them. Eternally.

There’s an ongoing debate tantrum about introducing Rust code to the kernel. Some people are pushing for it, some people have made it their life’s purpose to make sure that doesn’t happen, it has led to a wave of maintainers resigning, and Linus is sitting with his thumb up his arse when his leadership is needed.

The Linux community is united! (Unless you mention Rust, or Wayland, or systemd, or Snap, or GNOME, or…)

predatory, mafia or middle-age money lender style.

Your words have lots of sentiments, but present no facts. I know that Wolfire and Sweeney are independently throwing a tantrum, and we all hate taxes, but I don’t see public exposés showing game developers who went hungry because they couldn’t afford the 70-30 split.

I’ll also remind you that the EGS (12%) is barely profitable, and operated for years at a loss, only sustained by Fortnite (which used dark patterns to extract money from kids, in case you want to see something actually predatory).

• The 30% percent cut, stealing money from devs

Sigh. Here we go again. I’ll just copy one of my older comments about that attitude.

Steam is not a parasitic middle man, it is a collection of services that would have to be provisioned and operated by the developer otherwise. The 30% cut pays for:

• A massive infrastructure to store and deliver the game and its updates, worldwide, and at an acceptable bandwidth that Valve operates
• A storefront that enables monetizing the game
• The audience and discoverability that would not exist otherwise
• The Steam API, achievements, cloud saves
• The client itself, content management, validation, and Linux compatibility tools
• Network and operational security
• Also keep in mind that Steam and its services are operated by experts. A game developer would have to hire the experts or get training.

If the revenue from the cut exceeds the operational costs: it’s called profitability, not theft. The world doesn’t run on good vibes.

Did you completely miss the part where I said “Not the solution, and not a possible solution for everyone, but it is a solution”? I don’t know what you think the usual troubleshooting process is, but it doesn’t start with “uninstall Windows”. Obviously the user was sufficiently intelligent to consider the advantages and disadvantages of switching, and based on that information, chose a course of action that they thought was correct, and it ended up being the solution to their issue.

I don’t know how else I can spell it out for you. Computer users are not dumbasses. They have agency over their own actions.

Are they still experiencing whatever problem they were having?

No? Then it is a solution. Not the solution, and not a possible solution for everyone, but it is a solution.

Bring Me The Horizon: “CAN YOU HEAR THE SILENCE?”

He’s spreading cheeks to the muskrat with both hands, and in the process, “accidentally” banned a ton of NSFW subs. This made at least some people realize that their future is not guaranteed on reddit, that an off-service backup is needed; then a r/piracy post mentioning Lemmy reached the front page.

Do the “yes, and” routine. You can’t deny that it happened, and deflecting blame (even if valid) will look like desperate damage control. Don’t bring up the topic, and if the others do, make them look weird for it.

Own it, otherwise you’ll be the person who got caught looking at femboys.

You can control how an embarrassing situation plays out. Take it from an expert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMij8LspzHk

Not exactly “back”, more like “trying to act like nothing ever happened”. Try !onehundredninetysix@lemmy.blahaj.zone, it was made by/for the people who no longer trust the current moderators who caused the schism.

The reply on masturbated.one (the Mastodon instance) has an embedded image with the reference. It’s strange that it didn’t make it into the Lemmy comment.

Some people seem to get off on calling others mentally challenged for freely made choices that they disagree with. This comic mocks them.
