    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....

    [–] [email protected] 89 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Sorry, yes: 0000000000.10000000000%

    [–] [email protected] 28 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    Thanks, it makes more sense now.

    [–] [email protected] -3 points 10 months ago (2 children)

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

    [–] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    It was a joke, I think

    [–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

    Yeah it was a joke.

    [–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

    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% ?

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

    No, they did not

    [–] [email protected] 26 points 10 months ago

    0000000000.1% = 0.1%

    Now I'm thinking of all the poor people who like neatly laid out documents but can't find what they want when looking for visually pleasing layout techniques.

    and why Unix? Linux ain't unix.

    [–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago (3 children)

    It's not just GNU/Linux what people show in unixporn: some rice macOS, some rice BSD, and some even rice Android. What do they have in common? They're all based on UNIX.

    [–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    They’re all based on UNIX.

    technically not, rather, they're unix-like since unix was a proprietary system

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

    Thanks for the heads up! I meant in philosphy, not necesarily in the code.

    [–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago (2 children)

    Ohhh I only ever saw linux, sorry. So BSD is based on Unix but is not unix too?

    Thanks for explaining.

    [–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

    BSD is Unix

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

    Unix is like franchising: you can be perfectly SUS, yet no money = not Unix

    [–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

    Depends on what you mean by BSD.

    If you mean literally BSD, then yes, it's a direct UNIX decendant based on the same source tree. However, it's been discontinued 30 years ago.

    If you mean one of the *BSDs (Freebsd, netbsd, openbsd), then the relationship is more similar to that of linux, although there is still actual BSD code involved.

    oh I get it. Thanks|!|

    [–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

    Linux (and Android) are not based on Unix, they are Unix-like. And macOS is based on BSD.

    X doesn't care what the kernel is.
