oh yeah, i forgot, my pc ran cemu just fine before my recent upgrade. I could totally play the wind waker remake.

feels like everything Nintendo does these days is is too little too late. I was playing gamecube games on my pc 15 years ago, 1080p, anti aliasing, save states, shaders, whatever controller I wanted, so on and so forth.

This is a nice plus for people who were going to buy a switch2 anyway, but from the perspective of someone who would need to be convinced (especially after being burned by nintendos asinine refund policy a few years back), I’m a bit offended by these paltry offerings.

All emails get automatically forwarded to the IT department, for “suspected phishing”. If it is from a known internal source, especially so.

solution: a checkbox for “show advanced settings”.

also, sounds like i should try kde

a cluttered ui that works is better than a pretty ui that doesn’t.

i imagine a perfect world in which everything has guis and the guis contain all the information I could want about what it does including the relevant terminal commands. In this way, the gui is also the manual.

If the GUI is good, then it’s self documenting.

I’ve got a new favorite quote: “I don’t need tutorials, I need verbose tooltips.” -Wonderbot

that would actually be aweful

I’m not checking either, but it’s funny

I imagine a perfect world in which full guis exist for every setting, and in the tooltips for those settings you can find an explanation of the terminal command to also do the thing. In this way, the gui is the manual for the command line.

To quote Wonderbot: “I don’t need tutorials, I need verbose tooltips.”

ivy vs mint, deathbattle rules, who wins?

you could eat the mint

This thread has made it clear to me that I should wait another year before checking on gimp again.

anime style anything and gpt will stick a character in it

Back in the day, I learned how to network winxp machines together, without a router, and without being able access the internet to find instructions, all because everything I needed to know about any given setting was in the gui where I could manipulate that setting. I had lan parties featuring dozens of pcs, all manually configured. Was this the correct way to do things? Fuck no, but it worked. I was able to make it work because I could see everything I needed to as I was doing it.

None of the above would have been possible if CLI was the only option.

“he who saves his country has committed no crimes”

i threw up in my mouth a bit quoting trump, but throwing their words back at them is always satisfying.

eh, pandemic, epidemic, what’s the difference?

I know there’s actually a difference and the difference does matter, but I don’t know what the difference is and I use the two words interchangeably. My point was that shit’s fucked.

new pandemic is already started, look at current measles

with how thoroughly I’ve seen my friends and family fuck up their pcs, the above story does not surprise me at all. I myself have had obscure issues with windows that other people find unbelievable.
