Funnily enough it was treated as such, and same with the “critical miss”
With us it kind of depends on the situation. If a critical success or fail would make sense or be very funny we treat it as such.

[anecdote] You learn something new every day with linux
[anecdote] You learn something new every day with linux - Lemmy.World
Wanted to share an anecdote (I hope that’s OK). I jumped to Linux on my gaming pc last August (Bazzite) and I’ve been having a blast. Almost everything works either out of the box or with a minor tweak (the tweak being updating Proton). But I am the sole linux user in my D&D/gaming group, so obviously this is the source of some of our banter. Last night, we decided to play some Valheim. Bought it before switching to Linux and never tried it, so steam had to install some compatibilty stuff. But once everything was installed, it too worked like a charm (surprise surprise). We were having fun, sailing around on our crappy raft mighty longship and striking a nice pose while doing so. I decided to take a screenshot, but didn’t know if there was a keybind to disable the HUD, so I asked the two more experienced Valheimers with whom I was playing. Neither of them knew it by heart, but one of them looked it up. He said: “It should be Ctrl + F3”. I tried it and it didn’t work for me, but it did for him. “Wow, imagine playing on linux where nothing works” our other friend chimed in (jokely, don’t worry). Our first, more helpful friend said: “Maybe try Ctrl + Alt + F3?” So I did. Then, my whole computer froze, just as we landed on the edge of a dark forest with our raft. I thought: Oh fuck what did I do this time. Pressing again didn’t help, but after about 20/30 seconds, I was greeted with a shell login. Now I could hear my friends and the game in the background again, and they could hear me, but all I saw was a shell. I decided to log in, and still only got a shell. So, as my friends were frantically fighting a skeleton, I was searching for what on earth happened, and, more importantly, how to fix it. Thankfully, I wasn’t the first idiot to start pressing random buttons on their Linux system, and someone had this exact issue years back as well. I had a quick read, and learned that apparently the Ctrl + Alt + Fx buttons switch between virtual terminals. The post on the Ubuntu forums mentioned needing to switch to terminal 7 (Ctrl + Alt + F7), which also didn’t work. But trying the other buttons, I found that the desktop environment is on terminal 2 (at least on Bazzite/Fedora). And the funny thing here is that, even though I was essentially gone for a full minute, maybe a minute and a half, my Linux naysayer friend had died to a skeleton, and I had learned something new about our great OS :)

Why don't electric car manufacurers put solar panels on the car roofs?
Why don't electric car manufacurers put solar panels on the car roofs? - Lemmy.World
Honestly it seems like a no-brainer to me to put a solar panel on the roof of electric cars to increase their action radius, so I figured there’s probably one or more good reasons why they don’t. Also, I acknowledge that a quick google could answer the question, but with the current state of google I don’t want to read AI bullshit. I want an actual answer, and I bet there will be some engineers eager to explain the issues.
Did you know that the soviets used to have a potato powered rocket?
