  When consuming edible THC there is a time between when you have consumed the drug and when the drug kicks in. During this time you would wait and not consume more drugs because you will over consume and have a less pleasant experience.

  In a large enough group there is still anonymity even if your face and name are on there.

  As a non FF player who played 8 and 9 I thought 13 was kinda bad.

  Lots of hallways when the previous games had more discovery to them.

  Have not really played one since as I wasn’t into MMOs and figured I would try the 7 remake when they finished which it looks like they never will.

  What? You didn’t want your portable document format to be Turing complete?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Save as PDF⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “safe”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i mean⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right it’s just the system had very few games where the d pad was the obvious primary control device.

  What everyone here is really missing is the ahead of its time Golden eye 2 controller two stick setup. They knew where things were going the controller was just a little too soon.

  Lol 1000 doesn’t even get you half way to a speed Queen. You just get the same low end shit except it’s got app or screen that with show you add eventually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My feelings on the Super Bowl⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m shitting in it.

  It’s slow, has a ton of advertising, causes CTE, wastes money at colleges that would be better spent elsewhere, covers up sex crimes etc.

  There are a ton of more interesting / exciting sports than American football.

  I’ll still attend a gathering today but only because I like food and socializing whether the game is on isn’t really relevant to me .

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Im not generally making source code changes. It’s the dependencies.

  Mainly we’re talking about building very old versions of things like libpng. Making things like autoconf and configure and cmake all work is a pain in the ass as their versions slowly change.

  The business would be content to let it run on Ubuntu 12 until it’s a major problem so I can’t let the perfect be the enemy of good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG job listing for a Senior Software Engineer notes "Linux is the next major frontier"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly if part of their job is at all trying to get old shit to run on new operating systems AI is very useful for that task.

  Part of my job is keeping a 30 year old c++ application compiling and building on newer versions of Linux. LLMs have made this a far easier experience.

  You don’t need to wear the hat.

  Just show up three quarters of the way through a busy shift and tell them they would look pretty if they smiled more.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨a man of many minds⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have not seen Gillette in while ( he’s not really my jam) and then I saw him in Marty supreme. He has lost a lot of weight and is also much older. Turns out time keeps on turning, who knew.

  Anyway all that just to say that’s a really old image of him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not the same⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I get it, but at the same time I don’t get it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Troll physics⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That meme is a quarter century old (older if you count it’s actual source instead of the video that made it popular)

  Interesting… But that makes me ask… Where are they getting these sea mines?

  They don’t have to be.

  My roommate once got a keyboard with all blank key caps.

  In order to punish his hubris I remapped m and n in the windows registry when he left his computer unlocked.

  Good times.

  I mean those video players lazy load so it probably just requested the next chunk and got the “you gotta pay response” same as if you returned to a specific spot with a link after a long time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How customer service jobs be⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Usually understaffed and not paid enough to give a shit.

  That line cooks life won’t change one iota whether you get pickles or not.

  Likely they are just getting mixed up with other orders and someone else isn’t getting their pickles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemmy.world down...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It isn’t magic but RAM doesn’t tend to just stop working. You’ll start getting reported error correction events on a bad dim before it might fail which usually means it’s replacement time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemmy.world down...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s still not that common to have one die. Servers have ECC memory which can get you by longer even as a DIMM starts to die. It’s also rarely run at speeds consumer RAM is run at.

  The thing with server memory is when you get to point where you have hundreds of servers and each one has 12 to 24 DIMMs the chance you have a bad one somewhere increases.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨lemmy.world down...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So does .CA

  It’s one of the advantages of the being a lot of sys admins and Linux users in this community.

  You can run Lemmy pretty comfortably on used servers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IBM CEO says there is 'no way' spending trillions on AI data centers will pay off at today's infrastructure costs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The real issue and what those AI dependent companies are banking on is that they can capture a user base and when OpenAI starts to reach the end of the road with LLM improvements and moves to the extract phase it can buy these little companies to ingest their user base.

  Everyone else in that space will be instantly fucked since they will now be competing directly with openai while paying their margin but that’s the bet they are making.

  What if instead of a pipe to return the steam we use a freaking laser beam!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The majority of the steam deck SKUs were produced prior to the AI memory crunch.

  These steam machines are being produced in a market where memory is 3 or 4 times more expensive.

  This box will be more than a steam deck. Probably 1000 bucks or so.
