vrighter,

yeah the console manufacturers are just gonna say “no, we don’t owe you anything, we have never dealt with you before. Sue us”

vrighter,

I still get the occasional message that takes hours to deliver. I don’t trust it to always be reliable.

vrighter,

I’m european. That’s already how these things work.

vrighter,

suppose you already own the servers, magically or something, could aou set them up to take lour aws workload? no, you have none of the software that aws uses that manages the whole thing. You can host your applications yourself, but you’re in for a big rewrite if you do.

vrighter,

so, how many clicks is that?

vrighter,

not even that, but trading URLs to pictures of van gogh and picasso. And you don’t even get a hash or something that allows you to verify that that url points to the thing you bought, on the server that you don’t own and is probably still owned by the seller

vrighter,

if the company dies, so does the server that hosts the image that your nft links to. If the company dies, the nft dies with it, regardless of who currently “owns” it, or how many times it’s been resold

vrighter,

if you see a dark area you can turn on a flashlight to emit light towards the area and make it not-dark.

If you see a lit area and you want it unlit, there is no anti-flashlight you can point towards it to suck the light out.

Similar kind of thing, heat can only be given, not taken. heating stuff up is easy, but for cooling the best you can do in most cases is to make it easier for the thing to give you its heat (ex by the atmosphere colder), but you can’t force it.

vrighter,

I said “in most cases”. I am aware that it is possible. We’re looking at a macroscopic system here though. A microwave, not a couple of atoms in a lab. good luck cooling a couple of atoms in the center of an opaque blob of food with a laser

vrighter,

as already confirmed by others, it is per install, not per sale. Meaning that if you uninstall your game and mhen reinstall it, the dev has to pay twice. You buy the game and install it on your pc, and your steam deck so you can play it whenever you want? developer pays twice.

that sort of thing

vrighter,

seconded. That is exactly how I built my system, starting from a minimal install

vrighter,

the fact that there has to be a shitton of them is the clutter. Deorbiting them after their service life doesn’t change the fact that at any one point there’s a fuckton of satellites up there, messing up astronomy. And this is just the first of what will probably be several constellations.

vrighter,

telegram is unencrypted by default. Use something else if you value your privacy

vrighter,

the hippity hop!

vrighter,

some?

vrighter,

why not all though?

vrighter,

that’s a good thing. Tetris is tetris.You code in all the rules, and you’re done. any updates made in the last decade would be the types that “improve the user experience” such as allowing you to pay real money to double your chances of getting the l tetromino, a subscription which would remove the unskippable ads you get after every game, and a microtransaction that allows you to pay to play more than one game per day

vrighter,

fuck_this_shit_im_outta_here()

vrighter,

same thing here. I can only move my left eyebrow

vrighter,

meh, so far 2 out of 3 announcements have been very underwhelming for me. I tried space exploration, didn’t like it. A simplified version of that is still just a simplified version of that. And this quality thing just serves to make shit unpredictable, which is a step backwards to me. I hate probabilistic recipes, and the main draw here is to make everything probabilistic

So far I only liked the bot improvements. I feel quite disappointed so far, tbh

vrighter,

yeah but I won’t be buying the expansion if a bunch of it is optional content I’d want to avoid

vrighter,

no, it doesn’t. It finally supports usb video devices, which the gameboy camera is not.

What it could support is a modified usb video device that uses a gameboy camera as one of its parts

vrighter,

it’s not. It’s been done before countless times. The only thing that’s different this time around is that the usb cable’s other end is connected to an ipad

vrighter,

json 5 does support comments. alternatively, yaml is a superset of json. any valid json is also valid yaml. but yaml also supports comments. So you can also write json with comments, and use a yaml parser on it, instead of a standard json parser

vrighter,

konsi’s one tooth makes her look so cute!

vrighter,

♥

vrighter,

i just use rsync on termux

vrighter,

a separate program that allows one to “cheat” (not a bad thing, as long as it’s not done in multiplayer) by scanning and modifying the game’s memory.

for example, it could figure out where your hitpoints are stored and constantly overwrite that value with your full hit points

vrighter,

Maurice Moss almost managed it, but unfortunately he had an overheating problem

vrighter,

my first linux distro. I got it from a german magazine which came with 6 cds of it.

College students are still struggling with basic math. Professors blame the pandemic (apnews.com)

Colleges across the country are grappling with the same problem as academic setbacks from the pandemic follow students to campus. At many universities, engineering and biology majors are struggling to grasp fractions and exponents. More students are being placed into pre-college math, starting a semester or more behind for their...

vrighter,

the pandemic was three years ago. If these people are getting into college now, they had to have learned that stuff prior to the pandemic

vrighter,

you have a recipe that serves 5. You only need to cook for two. That’s a fraction right there

vrighter,

just imagine them pulling your hair from the front then

vrighter,

op asked about using bash because it’s already there. Your answer is the complete opposite of that. twice

vrighter,

I’m european. I have a right to be forgotten.

vrighter,

it’s a plane. calling it a “flying car” doesn’t change the fact it walks, talks and quacks like a plane

vrighter,

there are cars (sports cars, for example) that aren’t street legal. There are also street legal things that aren’t cars (I don’t consider a semi to be a “car”, for example.

Being street legal is not what makes something a car.

vrighter,

you can’t land a helicopter just anywhere… so the solution to that is to “need a runway”. I fail to follow the logic

vrighter,

planes already have wheels and can move on the ground, called taxiing.

Making the taxiing part street legal (and more efficient, admittedly) does not really change “what” the plane can do. Only the extent of the capability

vrighter,

a flying taxi.

ftfy

vrighter,

that’s probably why i spent most of my time with it cringing

vrighter,

the best apps for learning programming are the ones you write. try, fail, try again, keep at it, eventually succeed.

vrighter,

they eat humies?

vrighter,

you only view those as positives because you are not the average user. for the average user those are actually negatives. The average user’s answer to “do you prefer systemd or sysvinit?” would be “why the fuck should I care? I just want something that works. And I want that something to work the same whether it’s on my personal machine or my work machine, or my mom’s.”

If you force the user to have to choose, most times they just won’t. So they choose something that does not offer the choice at all. Other operating systems do not require them to give an honest try at being able to try them.

vrighter,

but how does one ensure that their dart lands in the same spot as their employer’s and their mom’s? consistency is very important for the average user, at odds with us enthusiasts’ joy at being able to change anything.

I am not against linux, (I use arch btw) but I accept the fact that most people don’t find computers as exciting as I do.

vrighter,

it’s a hypothetical scenario. And you still failed to even acknowledge my point, let alone get it.

vrighter,

you keep saying that the average user can do this or that. when the point isn’t whether they could, but whether they want to. The average user does not want to choose. Look up the paradox of choice.

It’s hard for a system to become mainstream when techy people keep boasting to them that its biggest feature is the one they specifically do not want

vrighter,

a) because it’s what everyone I know uses

b) telegram is not end-to-end encrypted by default. And not end-to-end encrypted at all for group chats. That’s kind of a dealbreaker. Telegram is one of the last messaging apps I’d recommend.
