  Ah so she’s a pedo? Guess it fits.

  Oh gods. He can have her. 🤮

  Is that another child he’s raped?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ahead of her time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Given that her crime is essentially scamming rich people, I don’t think so. Rich people get special treatment after all.

  They are terrible.

  the United States as a country that won two World Wars

  Contributed to winning two world wars.

  The U.S. didn’t carry the allies. Soviet and Chinese casualties far outstripped any American ones, and the amount of Indians thrown into the meat grinder on behalf of England during both of the World Wars is barely even mentioned. Then there’s civilian casualties. Was the wartime rationing bad? Sure, but it’s a piss take compared to Churchill’s Famine.

  I thought it was a reference to Ama no Iwato. Amaterasu hid away from the world because she was upset at her brother being an arsehole and fucking people over.

  It kind of fit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m stuck on Windows 11 at work. It’s not a bad laptop, but Windows is insanely slow. Opening the commandline isn’t instant. Explorer takes well over a second to open. It’s like treacle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t even remember my progression. I do remember what first piqued my interest though. A guy came from BUIT (Barn-och-ungdoms IT enhet), which no longer exists, and he was troubleshooting some IT stuff at my school back in 2003. Being the nosy and tech-interested bratty nerd that I was, I hovered around the guy. He was super nice, and had no problem with my prodding questions about his laptop, which was running Red Hat Linux. He explained in simple terms what exactly that meant, and it stuck with me.

  Then, years later when I found out about Ubuntu (at the library I think) and the fact that they sent out LiveCDs I was like “Yes please!” and the rest is history. I didn’t use Linux for many years, between having hardware that didn’t play nice with it, and just not feeling like it. Then the other year I went back to Linux and been using it since.

  Every so often I boot into Windows to do some texture work in Substance Painter, but I don’t think that’s going to last. I’m very keen on trying Armor Paint, and if I like the workflow there I might as well wipe Windows entirely.

  Now, if only I could run Linux on my work PC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨exam cheating⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wrote a comment along these lines, he brought up “agents” in that SciShow episode without directly saying the word, and modern agents are really just a bunch of scripts tied together with an LLM. It’s not that complicated, and they absolutely suck at performing tasks that aren’t narrowly defined. Like you can’t throw it at some issues on GitHub and expect it to actually come up with solutions. People have tried that and the success rates are absurdly low.

  SciShow can be incredibly sloppy at times. They had this episode about knitting a while back and lots of knitters basically fired back with “…did you guys try to talk to knitters about this?”

  Hank Green seems really affable, it’s hard not to like him (knowing very little about him) but SciShow really needs more rigorous fact checking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The main reason I left was because I wanted to switch to btrfs (for snapshot rollbacks), and Tumbleweed had that OOTB so I gave it a shot.

  This is precisely why I went with Tumbleweed as well. I wanted a rolling release distro because having initially gotten into Linux via Ubuntu back in 2007, I didn’t really like the “upgrade twice a year to keep up to date with new features” method. It felt really cumbersome back then, as a regular distro upgrade often brought problems with it.

  When I looked into other features I wanted, I discovered Snapper and I was all “that’s the one for me!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They said Steam OS, not Steam Deck.

  If you click on “Linux Version” it expands into a list. Steam OS Holo is the largest portion, but not the majority portion. Image

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NOW!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s illegal here in Sweden, for example the lowest price within the last 30 days also need to be listed alongside the discount offer. The effect this has is that 31 days before Black Friday, the retailers bump up the price.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, there’s anti cheat software that doesn’t run in the kernel. You can bypass that and still cheat, but if you’re insistent you can do that even with kernel-level anti-cheat. There’s a whole big debate on this, lots of differing opinions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No I think you got the message of what they were saying correct. Linux doesn’t have kernel level anti-cheat at the moment, and they’re saying that if you are a proponent of it, then don’t use Linux because it’s something we’d like to continue not having.

  There are layers of abstraction between the kernel and the userspace, and few applications need kernel level access. Anti-cheat poking around in the kernel is very invasive. I know plenty of people who equate it to spyware, myself included.

  You’re describing Ubuntu’s Convergence, something Canonical was working on back in like 2011 I think.

  Sucks nothing really came of it. By 2014 there were a few functional demos of it but you don’t really see it nowadays.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Progress⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Shit. Get Lovense or something instead. Still has Bluetooth connectivity but there are so many open source clients to make use of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨got this ad and uh⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is my belief as well.

  My mother fell deep into the qanon bullshit hole. I was very surprised to find her pro-Palestine, but realised that a big part is likely just antisemitism.

  It’s always just been lip service when it comes to her.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨got this ad and uh⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What the hell? Somehow the idea of a super racist being all “yeah but them Palestinians deserve better” or something tickles me.

  I just don’t see how being pro-enslavement and anti-genocide is a compatible viewpoint.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨bingo⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
  • So if you bomb everything does it get rebuilt over time?

  No. The closest any of the games have to buildings evolving/changing on their own is Sims 4’s Eco Lifestyle world where the neighbourhoods change depending on the neighbourhood’s eco footprint.

  • Is the game worth getting into a recent version? 💰 No 🏴‍☠️ Absolutely

  • I’ve stayed away because it sounded like they started charging for a bunch of crap after buying the game

  That’s always been the model, though. The Sims 1 had several expansions. The Sims 2 added stuff packs. The Sims 3 had the store with digital currency. The Sims 4 removed the store and added kits.

  When Sims 4 launched it was very meagre in terms of content, they’d started development in the middle of the “social networks are cool” era and pivoted when SimCity 5 failed. They tossed together an underwhelming mess, but over the years they’ve fleshed out the base game. There’s a lot of expansions now, to the point that they’re starting to cover similar themes they’ve already covered.

  Given EA’s proclivities I wouldn’t recommend buying the game. In light of their recent acquisition by Trump and the Saudi Arabian government, I would urge against buying the game. But it can be an enjoyable experience.

  I keep forgetting his name but every time I think of him, I search for “the actor with the eyebrows” and my search engine knows exactly who I’m talking about.

  I don’t see how these are equal. Also, they’re clearly both a dinosaur and a person.

  And I think I’d prefer to be turned into a dinosaur, too.
