When I needed to pick up on some basics, it actually did help but ultimately not as much as actual guides and tutorials written online. This image of a chimera certainly matches the kind of Frankenstein code I was getting.

That said, when I was having some very interesting ideas about making automated code in R, it did make for a good sounding board. You don’t need to Google when everything in R has documentation but you do when you’re combining libraries in unique ways to automate 98% of the stupid shit you do at your data researcher job (e.g. can you look up in our database how many students pick their nose during philosophy class on a Friday?)

I just some a lot of Lemmy are neurodivergent and do in fact require /s.

Which is actually halfway true, the other half being a more international crowd that aren’t on the same page as whatever perspective you’ve got. That said, I got the joke and second you on spending more time with my feet on my desk while the boss pays me for my 20 minutes of work.

Oh man, one could supply an entire army with the arrows shot at that guy, I’ll tell you hwat.

We have unlocked you full potential… seizures.

Psych background, it’s bad too but nothing makes me scream more than the “you only use 10% of the brain” crap. When that movie all about that came out I absolutely lost it.

This goes especially true for me. “Don’t mind the baby seats, you can squeeze in right between them.”

That’s why you always go for the porn family plan, much better value and you can share it with Grandma /s

That was my thought, it’s not nearly as bad as a lot of the botched restorations we’ve seen.

You know, with how distracted your average Tesla driver is, I’m pretty sure this would trick them even with them “driving” with AP on.

You know, they blame AI but it’s just a fucking 20 year old intern using Ctrl find and replace. I have literally been that person before, although not such that my indifference to my job involves nuclear secrets and a whole nations SSNs.

I can’t believe it was this guy or Dr. Fucking Oz. There is something deeply wrong with Pennsylvania.

Yup! Actually, it’s not just old age, alcohol played a part too. Old + alcohol + Microsoft’s intrusive policies do lead to problems. Didn’t lose a job though, since it was clearly a mistake and he didn’t technically violate any rule. At the same workplace though, yhere was a guy who worked with the police department who did diddle kids, and they found out in a similar way (though that guy did kill himself though before going to court).

Those saying it’s not a real thing, it kind of is but not as how green text suggests. My dad, for reasons, had certain images of a flirtatious neighbor (uuuuugghhh!!) and also had a OneDrive app on his phone for work which has a habit of deciding quite randomly what to share.

According to him, which do take this with a grain of salt, OneDrive shared these photos not just with IT at his job, but frequently threatened to share the images with contacts. Also, his Alexa app got in on the fun and displayed the images to his echo show… I needed eye bleach.

Can this be done on PC? Y’know, plausible. I’ve had windows randomly make porn my wallpaper before, and that was in my spare drive and in a folder labeled 2005 tax info. And that wasn’t even recent, who knows now.

It’s that or the barracks, man. Ladies always be after that early game conquest.

Yup, or if they’re covering up hardware deficiency, like Nintendo sometimes does. And even then, they generally prefer to just make everything a little fuzzy, like BotW.

I mean, it works in… hmmm… RPGs, maybe?

When I was a kid there was an effect in FF8 where the background blurred out in Balamb Garden and it made the place feel bigger. A 2D painted background blur, haha.

Then someone was like, let’s do that in the twenty-first century and ruined everything. When you’ve got draw distance, why blur?

It’s my favorite and apparently it even inspired Hollow Knight devs. OG metroidvania but punishingly difficult.

Absolutely badass. I’ll make do with my shaders, but you’re living the dream.

Ever play Faxanadu?

We already have our local celebrities, anyway. And what good does it do them? Beans.

I forgot the name but I did know about it! Kinda excited, Star Control III didn’t have the same vibe. Hope these posts also encourage someone to check out II, there is a fan remake you can download for free.
