it's used to verify that OpenGL ES2 works on your system. It's the variant of 3D graphics drivers that is used on smartphones. Many apps nowadays write their GFX frontend with GLES2 so it uses the same code on phones and PCs, and if they compile the app to run in the web browser, WebGL is also based on GLES2.

Someone wants to raise their Hirsch index, is all.

Among field troops in Vietnam it became common knowledge that ingestion of a small amount of C-4 would produce a "high" similar to that of ethanol. Others would ingest C-4, commonly obtained from a Claymore mine, to induce temporary illness in the hope of being sent on sick leave.

It really depends. One specific shop near my home has good quality frozen meat pancakes and dumplings. Yeah I have made dumplings by hand some 20 years ago, but those frozen ones are simply better. Maybe I can do some exotic dumplings with a buckwheat flour and a lot of eggs, but that would not necessarily be better, just different.

On the other hand, pasta sauce prepared from scratch will always taste better than store-bought one, mainly because the stores here only sell ketchup and mayo, and pretty much all pasta sauce here is some variety of tomato concentrate with a bit of carrots.

Most vector rendering libraries have options to disable all the fancy stuff like Javascript and external links. If you manage to find one that supports it in the first place. As for resource usage, the server sends image files without decoding, so whatever forkbomb you will manage to include into your SVG will only crash Lemmy clients, so, 'not our problem'. Maybe it will become a problem for the server when generating thumbnail image.

It's called 'Palianytsia' because russians have trouble pronouncing that word.

Torvalds kicked out a bunch of Russia-based kernel maintainers.

Hey, do you maybe know the Polish alphabet song? I was searching for it on the internet forever, but I don't speak Polish so I could not google the correct phrase. It started like this (reconstructed from oral lore using Google Translate):

Berlin miastem w Niemczech leże

burdel - miejsce dla młodzieży

guzik to jest częścią ubrania

gówno jest produktem srania

dynia to jest do jedzenia

dupa to jest do pierdzenia

...

And it supposedly continued all the way to letter Z.

The security issue is very likely scenario. If you're in Russia, you can go to jail at any moment on totally bogus charges. It is very easy for FSB to pressure some random kernel maintainer into adding hard to detect backdoor into their code, it will be XZ situation all over again.

Yes they do. See the long-standing debate over the ban to export crypto algorithms to Iran.

I've just copypasted URLs from your post so I could click them after Lemmy converts them to hyperlinks in my comment. But then you've copied the images directly, with extra explanation. I feel like this turned out to be bigger effort than necessary.

Anyway, my wife liked the centibus.
