I had a typo. Reread it. It’s the “my (gender age)” part that annoys me. “My boyfriend” is a person, “me” is a person, but “my” is not a person.
- Comment on Lemmy: Beans 2 days ago:
Aside, but I hate that people say “my (F 21) boyfriend (M 53) prevents me” instead of “my boyfriend (M 53) prevent me (F 21)”
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 3 days ago:
- Games should have some way to take notes in game.
- External wikis are great and I love them, but they aren’t an excuse for not explaining how your game works within your game. There needs to be good in game guides.
- All games need some way to save and quit. Looking at you, rogue likes. People have lives. That’s more important than protecting some weird form of honor by making the excuse that it’s to prevent save scumming.

I hate this so much. There are plenty of aesthetically pleasing ways to avoid it. Windows 8 was particularly bad, my recollection was they literally looked exactly the same there, no difference at all. Luckily I only had to use it for a very brief unpaid internship.

He was consuming a fuck ton of alcohol and it skewed the results of the demonstration and he kept it secret from the film and the doctors he worked with.
I don’t think McDonald’s is healthy but we don’t need to lie to make the point.

Not objective in the sense that aliens would come to the same definition for what is and isn’t a planet. Compare that to something like what the elements are.
- Comment on Sad Ganymede noises 5 days ago:
So you’re saying things just exist, and as humans we categorize them? Because that’s what I said.
- Comment on Sad Ganymede noises 5 days ago:
There is no objective criteria for what a planet is and isn’t. Like a lot of things in nature, things just exist, and as humans we categorize them.
You’re the second person to ignore the sentence immediately following that.

I haven’t really dived deep on this but my gut feeling is because they linked to the erotic games. I looked into this a bit in the past, but I may be getting it mixed up with Google’s policies on Docs now that I’m thinking of it, but maybe they have similar policies. The gist was that they weren’t as concerned with hosting legal artistic erotic content as they were linking to it. Like they didn’t want their platform to be used in a way to sort of advertise porn. I’m actually pretty sure I’m thinking of Google Docs though. I was looking for a way to publish erotic stories and considered GitHub Pages as well as Google Docs so it sort of blends together.

You can still have mirrors of your stuff on GitHub and push there, just have your primary forge be a different place.

In theory you could make a bit that stores all of those things within git periodically. Maybe do something with git notes git-scm.com/docs/git-notes

Exactly! It’s right there past Mars! It’s not like it’s some weird thing off in the cold dark past Pluto.

There is, though, or rather there should be another one.
The official definition says
But I also said,
Like a lot of things in nature, things just exist, and as humans we categorize them.

People fighting for Pluto that it should be a planet instead of a dwarf planet
Ceres: 🥺
Context: Ceres is now considered a dwarf planet, and used to be considered just an asteroid, but when it was first discovered it was considered a planet. That was in 1801. There is no objective criteria for what a planet is and isn’t. Like a lot of things in nature, things just exist, and as humans we categorize them. Ceres is round like a planet like Pluto. I’m not saying it should e considered a planet, I think dwarf planet fits them both nicely. As late as the 1950s Ceres was still sometimes considered a planet by some people.
I have a sort spot for it. I love it.

- Comment on World's Best-selling Video Game Consoles 1 week ago:
Has there been any console pair besides Gameboy and Gameboy color that had games released that would work on both but behave differently on each? Some carts were black and white, some worked only on GBC, but some (like most of all of the pokemon games) would still be black and white on the original but had unique color palettes on GBC.
Looks like the technical term is “Color-enhanced Game Boy Game Pak”.
The color-enhanced Game Boy Game Pak (also known as class B, dual mode, or black cartridges) improved the gameplay experience on the Game Boy Color and subsequent systems while maintaining compatibility with older monochrome devices.
These cartridges can use the full color capabilities of the Game Boy Color and subsequent systems, displaying up to 56 colors simultaneously out of a palette of 32,768 while remaining compatible with the original Game Boy where they were presented in four shades of gray. However, this compatibility comes at the expense of not being able to utilize the handheld’s increased processing speed and memory.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Game_Boy_Game_Pak
Compare that to GBA, which had GBA games but could also play Gameboy and Gameboy Color games. But there were no GBA games that could run on Gameboy or Gameboy Color. That weird middle ground might be why they count them together.

I’d post one of Facebook’s “Imagine” images as a joke but it sort of defeats the purpose. So imagine I did it. Feel free to leave the tap on while you do if you really wanna get the full experience.

I’ve been saying this for a while. It’s gonna be particularly difficult to get valuable insight. With sponsored search results you can keep scrolling. Sponsored content will “pollute” the context of the conversation even if only some responses push sponsors.
