  First I’d heard of Light No Fire, wow yeah, that looks great. Honestly, I think their style lends itself more to fantasy than SciFi, this could be great.

  It’s a lovely street made of brick pavers that has been paved over with asphalt because it provides a smoother ride for vehicles and pleasant aesthetics are for losers.

  An Emacs clone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨makes more sense than this shit⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but in 2000, I still felt like shit roughly made sense. We entered clown world long about the time the LHC fired its first high energy collisions.

  The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was first “fired high energy” when it achieved its first high-energy particle collisions on March 30, 2010. On that date, proton beams collided at a combined energy of 7 TeV, setting a new world record and officially beginning the LHC’s research program.

  I remember hearing that that was going to happen and, you know, being mildly concerned. Then it came and went and I forgot about it. But I distinctly remember 2012. A series of truly bizarre things happened in my personal life. I sold a condo I owned at the time and moved away to try and put some distance between myself and what was happening. It was pants-on-head stupid, like I just couldn’t believe what was going on, but it was personal, not earth-shattering, just truly, deeply bizarre.

  Shortly thereafter, Trump happened, then covid - and the whole world began being truly, deeply bizarre. Now things have progressed so far that where I used to think I knew a bit about how the world works and where it’s going, I am now utterly adrift. I don’t even try to make sense of it anymore, just to accept it and roll as best I can.

  I’m not saying correlation is causation but when I first heard the LHC theory it made me stop and think.

  These days? Shit, you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a new Star Trek property. I thought he had a chance tbh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This blatantly deceptive ad for Threads⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everybody who refuses to use Facebook has to make the same sacrifices that people who do not refuse to use it do not make. No amount of exposition will make us feel better about the fact Facebook continues to exist and contribute to the ruin of society in part because you are not willing to inconvenience yourselves like we already have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This blatantly deceptive ad for Threads⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My entire family lives thousands of miles away and Facebook is all I have to feel connected with them.

  Why feel compelled to defend yourself? Use it and accept that you support it - or don’t. No need to apologize to us, you’re not going to convince us that your use case is special or that phone calls and texting don’t exist.

  I have never (and will never) use Threads. … Deceptive, garbage marketing practices from a deceptive garbage tech company.

  Unfortunately, you use Facebook, which means you do support these practices. How much or how little you use Facebook doesn’t factor into it. Tangentially, it also means you use Threads, because using Facebook means you use anything Zuck wants you use. That’s literally how it works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s worse than this even. I have an old Raspberry Pi 3B+ (1G) that I got in 2018. I hooked it up the other day to mess around with it, it’s been maybe 2 years since I did anything with it, ever since I got a Pi 4 (4G). 1 gigabyte of RAM is now insufficient to browse the web. The machine freezes when loading any type of interactive site. Web dev is now frameworks piled on frameworks with zero consideration for overhead and it’s pure shit. Outrageous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is piefed?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Comments with -10 score are collapsed by default. Voting is private.

  I don’t particularly care for these two items. I used to think user-curation was a good thing, but comparing Lemmy to Reddit, I have to say I no longer feel that way. Voting matters less on Lemmy and I think it’s better for it, all things considered.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it’s about to affect big money so they sic their bots on it to shape public opinion and stomp it, like everything else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit bought a giant ad in Paris, urging young french people to create an account⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Rule of thumb: the more something is advertised, the more shit it is for one reason or another, and you’ll do well to avoid it altogether. When I’m advising people on contractors, my number 1 rule is: if they’re on TV, they’re criminals, I promise you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't fool me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Interesting to note that this granite is actually called Galaxy Black with the name dating back to its first commercial discovery and quarrying in India long about 1982-1985, and yet the Hubble Deep Field image was taken in 1995.

  Microsoft gave me a free copy so I checked it out. It sucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  For me it’s because it seems evident that Microsoft wants Windows to be saas and here’s the thing: I don’t like Windows that much. For over 20 years now, I’ve preferred Linux for server stuff and Mac for daily driver stuff, I’ve only tolerated Windows, mainly for gaming.

  Since Windows 7 died (I skipped 8 altogether and reluctantly have been dealing with 10 with lots of hacks to keep it locked down), I have only been barely tolerating it - and games were the sole reason.

  Well, Proton has now obliterated that, conveniently right as Microsoft has decided that what people REALLY need is for them to be 100% shit. I refuse to install 11. So I’m out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remedy is in control | The Verge⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Almost. When you make it back into the tunnels, the game considers it a finished loop and advances to the next day segment, which is considered a type of “save,” but you never save it. There is no "hit escape " “save game.” And yet, even after you make it into the tunnel and the day advances and you know you’re saved, when you hit escape and exit the game, the game is all “Are you sure you want to do this? All unsaved progress will be lost.” It’s like they had a save in, but decided against it, then never fixed the verbiage. Anyway, it’s a relatively minor annoyance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remedy is in control | The Verge⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had the same complaint about Deathloop. If I’m playing the single-player only version, then why do I have to restart the loop if I suddenly have to quit? And why does the game warn me that I will lose all unsaved progress? You literally can’t save!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nexus Mods Sale Sparks Concern in Modding Community⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is not capitalism […] it’s really us expecting shit to be free

  No, “we” are not the problem. “We” donated and participated (by making mods) and “we” are responsible for giving the site what value it had. If it had no value, then it couldn’t have been sold.

  Quit trying to blame the users for fuck’s sake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people like Mario Kart?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ironically, the older you get, the better video games are for you, flexing your memory and hand-eye coordination.

  I don’t understand why it’s difficult to see the appeal. To me it’s just like watching TV, but you can participate.

  They were so preoccupied with whether or not they could control the cyborg cockroaches, they didn’t stop to think if they should.
