Thousand times this. For actual builders that care about the nuance it all probably makes sense but then there is me over here looking at pre-builts wondering why the fuck are two seemingly identical machines have a $500 difference between them.

I’m spending so much time pouring through spec sheets to find “oh the non-z version discombobulator means this cheaper one is gonna be trash in three years when I can afford to upgrade to a 6megadong tri-actor unit”.

I’m in this weird state of to cheap to buy a Mac and can’t be arsed to build my own.

Once I get the family loaded up and on the road. Wife rolls her eyes every time. 😁

Didn’t read but don’t care. Still, it’s also important to know sources.

Good propaganda machines tell the truth most of the time.

Always keep your guard up.

The first positive signal comes when you first boot the application, pitching a simple question: are you using this for gaming, or productivity? With this one choice, the app immediately reorients what it presents you with, making sure the settings that actually matter for you are front-and-centre.

Well, what if I want to do both? Selection anxiety will leave me deadlocked on this question for an hour while I look up what the difference means!

I’ve seen moose and bears crossing ocean channels. Both are adept swimmers. Wouldn’t be surprised by the orcas eating them part.

Now moose diving? That’s new to me… 😳

I mean, you can use custom search engines, but the only way to get them on android is to sync them over from a desktop install.

It’s such a strange kludge, especially if you a) don’t use desktop vivaldi or b) don’t use sync. Maybe one day they’ll add in the menu item or whatever. It’s getting better but Android Vivaldi has been getting like one new feature a year it seems like.

I feel like some journalist got high as fuck with a dev, wrote out a fucking fever dream of… drivel and then the editors were like fuck it, Tim Sweeney pays us to post some hit pieces against Valve and this is all we got this month so we’ll just run with this.

Ah, but at night is probably when you are more likely to actually hit a pedestrian. I wonder if the stats back up that intuition…

Edit: also, yes pop up headlights are way cooler.

Copyright of code doesn’t work that way. Now if some idiot goes and uses that code in a game, yeah, they’d have a rough time in court.

If Nintendo thought there was infringement already, and wanted to prove it in court, there are means to securely prove it with redactions and NDA’s and so forth as it would be considered trade secret.

Reddit is worse but they use puppet accounts so you can’t easily tell.

“You’re holding it wrong”

I bet they’re foreshadowing a large ban wave. Big scoop probably happening in the background. That’s how “it’s live” will be announced.

Fuck it. I’m inventing a new scale.

Behold! “Disagree Degrees”. We’re going to combine the best traits of the other units. No more searching for the stupid little degree character in the character map. D for degrees or disagrees - whatever, I don’t give a shit.

0D = 0K (Like Kelvin, no negatives! That’s so dumb!) 0.4D = -40 C and -40 F 1D = Water Freezing point (Need a consistent point of scale) 10D = “Pleasant temperature” 100D = Kind of hot 500D = Really hot for people (>40C or >100F) “It’s like 500 disagrees out there!” 1000D= Water boiling (To match the freezing temp) 1,000,000,000,000D = Surface of the sun

Good luck on the math converting to other units, this temperature scale isn’t about being useful for nerd stuff, it’s all about appealing to our emotions.

Yeah, I can imagine the locals would tell the younglings “don’t play near the Sarlaac Pit! It’ll eat you for a thousand years!”

Well we know Tatooine orbits a pair of stars somehow and it’s still in the Goldilocks zone just enough to make it semi habitable still. My assumption is that these are white dwarfs or something smallish.

Could this be explained that the local year is much shorter? Add in that Hutt is well versed in his own biology which assuming a he isn’t strangled by a tentacle, could be slowly digested alive for a 1000 Tatooine years? He probably forgets that about his pathetic cute biped pets.

No seriously what is significant about 0F? I live in a place that sees a lot of negative F too.

It’s so arbitrary. If it was 0 at freezing water and 100 at human body temp I’d understand it but no, it’s literally nothing significant in people’s lives. It has no tangible anchor.

It’s purely emotion keeping it around.

The meme faces are backwards on this one.

LED lighting. Usually can adjust to whatever color lighting you like. Pure aesthetic value, no actual benefit to the performance of the machine itself.

Break up the mega corps. Enact user privacy-by-default laws. Market dominance via “free product” followed up by bait and switch tactics should be outlawed.

And my axe!
