Screenshots? Look at Mr. Speedy Pants over here!
In my experience, half the time it’s a bloody YouTube video. Nothing says “fun” like having to seek back around in a video to find the next step without waiting 20 extra seconds because you already had to seek back and pause the video after it breezed past an overcomplicated and poorly explained step.
You think that’s bad? For as much as I love seeing a well-configured Nix system, it’s beginner-unfriendly learning curve is almost as bad as “compile everything yourself” distros.
As a beginner, do you have a question about Nix? RTFM. You did? Well, wrong Nix. You wanted to learn something about Nix the language, but those docs were about Nix the OS and Nix the package manager.
You just read a guide for using the nix command and wanted to install a program with nix-env? That’s an outdated guide. You should be using flakes and nix profile. You tried that, but it said the nix command is experimental so you didn’t do it? No, you were supposed to edit /etc/nix/nix.conf to enable them first.
Don’t get me wrong here though, I like Nix. It just desperately needs an actual beginner-friendly beginner guide for flakes and nix command commands that doesn’t assume everyone is a software developer. 80% of the Nix documentation tutorials aren’t even relevant to regular users, only package maintainers and NixOS users.
Tesla’s stock is an irrational, overinflated hype stock with an absurd price-to-earnings ratio and a large-shareholder CEO who was being investigated by the SEC before he dismantled it.
Considering that the stocks are used as his personal piggybank and his history of totally-not-market-manipulation-because-there-are-no-charges, I would be more surprised if the sales numbers are accurate.
It shows they didn’t even watch the video.
Of course they didn’t. Musk fanboys are an echo chamber of morons worshipping a Nazi oligarch. They’re quick to react, and they dismiss evidence and facts if it doesn’t suit their narrative.
And then lost the reflog by rm -rfing the project and cloning it again.
Why was the path to my save games hidden in a dotfile-folder?
It isn’t any better on Windows, but oh boy does this one piss me off.
~/.config/mygame — wtf, no it's not config
~/mygame — fuck off, the home folder is mine
~/.local/share/mygame — better, I guess?
~/.cache/mygame — absolutely not here
~/.steam/.../MyGame — still not great, but at least it's self contained
Regex is great, but PCRE deserves a special place in hell. You don’t know unreadable until you’ve encountered regex that uses recursive matching, backrefererences, and subroutine calls.
The audio being processed faster can and will influence how fast each cycle runs. That will then mean extra FPS in at least some cases.
It won’t. The main game loop is driven by waiting for VBLANK, which is in simplified terms the analog equivalent to vsync.
The speed of the main CPU in the SNES also isn’t affected by the speed of the audio coprocessor. They operate independently from each other, with the CPU providing commands to control the program running on the SPC700.
What it might do, however, is affect gameplay. The SPC700 clock variance is one of the major reasons why Super Metroid tool assisted speedruns had so much trouble being verified on real consoles. IIRC, Super Metroid waits for some sound effect to finish before performing certain actions, and that can cause the game state to differ from the state expected by the prerecorded inputs for that moment in time.
Whatever the hell you’re smoking, it must be something good. I’m criticizing the Republican Party, not defending them.
Or, if I’m misunderstanding and you’re actually calling me a Nazi for thinking trans people should not be subjected to gential inspection, then you’re in desperate need of a mirror.
Uh, what? That sentence is borderline unreadable.
I’m being hyperbolic when I say that the Republican Party wants to personally check what’s in women’s pants, but the reality is that they’re disturbingly fucking focused on ensuring trans women can’t be in women’s bathrooms or women’s sports. Nobody with a modicum of decency would try to predicate bathroom usage based on the absence or presence of a penis, yet they’re constantly trying to present and push through legislation to do just that.
They’re already underhandedly targeting autistic kids with it as-is. Vocal stims like meowing or nonverbal communication like growling are covered directly.
They’re not small enough to fit in womens’ size pants, but they sure are trying to fit in women’s pants to personally check for the absence of male anatomy.
Lucky! You have hot singles in your area spam folder, and all I get is blatant blackmail scams telling me they have my (wrong) phone number and that there’s nation-state Spyware on my phone recording videos every time I dare to stroke some sausage.
I’m surprised this is considered retro now and I’m a little sad since I never got to play it.
The good news is PS2 emulation is pretty solid. Xbox is less so, but luckily most games in the generation were also available on PS2.
Exactly! You get it.
About 20 trips to the grocery store and the associated gas prices.
You’re describing the Republican politicians. The Republican voters are a different bag entirely.
Out of the ones I have discussed politics with, their underlying motivations for supporting Trump are emotionally driven but explained through rhetoric aligning with their emotional motivations. It tends to be grouped into one of a few different feelings:
Aside from the bigotry and exceptionalism, those emotions aren’t necessarily wrong. Cost of living increases, politicians owned by lobbyists, and profit-driven privatization of essential services are actual problems. The issue with conservatives is that they have scapegoats to blame those problems on instead of acknowledging the underlying causes. All it takes is some loudmouth, ignorant jackass offering an overly-simplified, emotionally-compelling solution to a complex problem, and others will latch on to it, oversimplify and exaggerate it even more, and disseminate it until the rest of them start believing it.
People can be hateful, narcissistic pieces of shit, and it goes without saying that this repugnant rhetoric is spread intentionally. But, it’s also a direct consequence of a public education system failing among a landscape of patriotic propaganda and media controlled by a powerful few who put profit and self-gain above the health of society.
When someone grows up being told America is a flawless nation, that self-reliance is the foundational trait of success, is never educated to think critically of the government and media, and is bombarded by a neverending stream of false information that validates their fears and lulls them into feeling smarter than everyone else, they end up being indoctrinated into the right-wing cult we have today.
They won’t blame foundational American principles (like the economic ideology) for American problems—they were made to believe America is perfect. It must be something external (like immigrants) making their life worse.
They won’t question those they believe have authority over them—the teacher is always right. If Trump says it’s the Democrats fault, it’s the Democrats fault.
They won’t make an effort to understand other views—self-reliance is antithetical to empathy, and they had it ingrained which one was more important. The only person they can trust is themselves and by extension those who agree.
They also won’t need to understand other views. With the breadth of echo chambers available at the tip of their fingers, it’s easy to seek and reinforce conservative views, social connection, and validation. Chuck McFuck has a sole trans daughter who begrudgingly interacts with him, in contrast to his 10,000 friendly and cooperative buddies on r/conservative.
Is it too much to hope that they fuck up, redacting the names by drawing a box over text in a PDF?
Well, that’s disappointing. When trying to convince some less-culty conservatives that some kinds of regulations can be a good thing, I used this very thing as an example, thinking nobody in the right fucking mind would support dumping biological and industrial waste into water supplies.
In hindsight, I really set the bar too low.
“Mr. President, can you explain the recent market plunge, and whether they were an intended effect of the reciprocal tariff plan?”
“The plunge? Fake news. There is no plunge, the only plunge is our plunge towards making America great again. The Democrats don’t want it, they’re selling off like crazy. Numbers never seen before. The tariffs are working, Canada is scared. Mexico is scared. Europe, China, Antarctica, all of them scared. They’re nothing” without us and they know it. But the Democrats, the Democrats. Corrupt Democrats are trying to undermine the greatest tariffs plan America has ever seen. They’re lying about the economy, tricking the banks to sell. But that’s fine, it’s fine. It’s their loss, they want to lose. The real winners, Elon, Pete, and other real hardworking Americas know this. They buy.
