  Prior to my GPU reaching the age where it overheats easily

  That’s not some sort of natural aging process; that’s you failing to do maintenance. Clean out the dust and/or replace the thermal paste.

  Flat CRTs were probably even heavier than curved ones because the glass has to be thicker to hold vacuum with a less structurally-efficient shape.

  For it to get vetoed it had to have passed through the legislature, which means the problem is way bigger than just that one fuckwad.

  You can’t not have jury nullification without destroying the right to trial by jury. Either the jury has the power to decide or it doesn’t.

  bash is copyleft. zsh is permissive. Therefore, bash is superior.

  This also changes through the lifespan. For infants it’s more like 60% of caloric intake

  And for 79-year-olds it’s apparently more like 0% of caloric intake.

  I definitely own Diablo and I definitely used Win2K, but I didn’t go out of my way to buy a weird special version of it. This leads me to believe the normal Windows 95 version would work on NT as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Return to the year 2000 with classic multiplayer DOS games in your browser⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I distinctly remember running most, if not all, of my games on Windows 2000 (not ME). I mean, yeah, NT 4 was pretty hopeless for gaming, but 2000 was better.

  The real !mildlyinfuriating part is the implication that the propositions are less important than the election of people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Native Americans?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most people in Argentina and Uruguay are white, and the (indigenous + indigenous-mixed) majorities in some of the other countries aren’t necessarily big enough to be considered “virtually all,” especially when you consider that there are folks with African ancestry there as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not impressed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, phylogenetically speaking, all descendants of fish must also be fish, by definition. Therefore, “being cold blooded” cannot also be a criterion (not that it would work anyway since tuna are warm blooded, BTW, and nobody would argue tuna aren’t fish).

  The “living wholly in water” criterion actually works, though: land-fish (e.g. humans) live inside a bag of water that we carry with us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not impressed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Of course there’s such a thing as a fish! A fish is any swimming vertebrate (or its descendant), such as a tuna, or a duck, or a human.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨While we eagerly await the second coming of Steam Machines, it's worth remembering what a gloriously awful mess Valve got itself in over a decade ago⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think that was Gabe “hating” Microsoft; I think it was him recognizing that the Windows Store/appx stuff that Windows 8 pushed was a threat to his business model.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know Jeff does raspi stuff.

  Then why’d you ask if he’s not a fan of ARM? Were you unaware that Raspberry Pis use ARM CPUs?

  I’m not trying to defend the guy or dispute you, BTW; I’m just still confused about why you’d say that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, that’s unfortunate re: Jeff, but it’s still weird to me that the other commenter would be aware of that about him (which you mention having to dig through a decade of blog posts and old tweets to find), without at some point also finding out that he’s ‘the Raspberry Pi guy.’

  It’s like knowing that Hitler was a vegetarian but somehow not knowing that he was the dictator of Germany who started WWII – it just doesn’t make sense for a fact to be that isolated from its context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  …wat.

  I think you must be thinking of some other Jeff Geerling. The one I’m talking about is probably the #1 guy on Youtube for content about ARM stuff, and AFAIK isn’t a homophobe.

  Your comment doesn’t make any sense because, even if you were talking about the right person and your accusation were accurate, why would you know some obscure thing about him while being unaware of the thing he’s famous for?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Jeff Geerling is probably having a fit right now.

  I’m disappointed that this didn’t appear in my feed adjacent to the “teaching an octopus to play piano” video for a nice screenshot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I nominate “octopodusai” to be the new English plural. (Where’d the “a” come from? To make it easier to confuse ‘ai’ with æ because fuck you, that’s why, of course!)
