There are tons of great indie games that do that and still die in obscurity.

That’s essentially what Peter Thiel and his ilk that believe in the technological singularity are doing.

No, but it is something I’ve heard actual shit-infested milk drinker say to defend their practice.
- Comment on Scientific unprogress... 1 week ago:
Nah, it’s that saying things that actual morons think isn’t funny. It used to be funny when it was considered so ridiculous that no one would realistically believe it, but we don’t live in those times any more.

Don’t forget CRISPR/Cas9 allowing reliable and effective gene editing in living organisms.

It still amazes me they took the worst feature from Humanity and made it worse.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Enterprise’ Cast On How Series Was Last Hurrah For “Boys Club” TV Before Me Too Movement 2 weeks ago:
TNG didn’t have cohesive arcs and had its fair share of recycled plots. Are you going to argue it was also bad? Also, it’s a prequel. The entire point of the show is to revisit things but do it through the lens of an earlier and more inexperienced version of humanity.
Season 4 was when the writing improved and started feeling more Star Treky. Yes, there were terrible episodes, especially the series finale, but the average was substantially better. They finally started introducing the early Federation species and working to show how the Federation would form. The Andorian episodes in particular were great. There could have been a lot of great storylines about the Federation learning to work together or how relations with the Klingons and Romulans went south.

I get it, but scientists don’t come up with common names. The name scientists came up with for them is Opiliones.

$229? Fuck me, you’re not kidding. That’s over half way to owning a Steam deck.

It’s a shame it was cancelled when it was. It really seemed like they had pulled their heads out of their asses by season 4.

Nah, stupid people usually end up miserable because they’re too stupid to navigate life successfully, nor correctly diagnose that their own actions are the reason why nothing works out for them.
- Comment on The New Yorker Asks: Is the A.I. Boom Turning Into an A.I. Bubble? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t know about that. I remember reading about the housing bubble in 2005 and it took 2 more years for it to pop

- Comment on If I wanted to bury a hard drive for archival purposes (e.g. Country becoming Dictatorship), how to keep the contents from being damaged and where is the safest place to bury it? 5 weeks ago:
Flash memory stores data as a voltage level, with different values being a tiny distance apart. The voltage slowly leaks out of the cells and has to be periodically topped off.

FAT12, and no it doesn’t work natively. I know this because I had to replace a floppy to fix a 40 year old computer earlier this year.
You can get a USB 3.5" floppy drive working with just some special software, but a 5.25" FDD was a huge pain involving open source hardware (greaseweazle) that reads the raw magnetic flux values that then have to be run through another janky piece of software to interpret it.

That and he sabotaged Jesse Ventura’s attempt to unionize wrestling to get more money for himself. Given how incredibly abusive the company is to its performers, that’s not a small thing.
- 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? 1 month ago:
Lemmy has 100k users and, more importantly, almost zero countermeasures against botting and influence ops. It would not be some huge undertaking to target this place.

To get the temperature probe data on your phone so that you don’t have to repeatedly get up to check it. It’s particularly useful for Turkey, because the difference between moist vs horribly dry white meat is only 5-10 degrees.
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 2 months ago:
Traeger makes pellet smokers. They have a hopper full of wood pellets and a micro controller that feeds in pellets to maintain a set temperature. You can get ones with a temperature probe to stick in the meat and let you know when it’s done, which is what the Wi-Fi is for.
There’s a legit use case for them because they save a ton of time and effort over smoking the traditional way.
- Comment on What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol 2 months ago:
It’s great for smoking though. I’ve done it the old fashioned way of staying up all night to feed wood into the smoker and I’ll gladly take the wifi-enabled pellet smoker with a temperature probe over it.

The devs would probably prefer if their work for several years wasn’t thrown in the trash. It’s the publishers and suits killing games.

Also they changed the permission model and introduced UAC, but it took developers forever to update and stop constantly writing to sensitive OS locations.
