I like how stock photoshop refuses to run with wine not because Adobe cares about linux but because of the insane amount of DRM that harasses you on Windows.
Meaning pirated photoshop runs fine on wine lol
I think there’s even a github script to do it all for you with gpu acceleration enabled so you don’t have to even bother finding a pirate copy.

Kinda sounds like the time when they magically got to decide the elections because they waited until there was no time left instead of actually forcing florida to properly count their votes
- Comment on Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. 5 weeks ago:
I remember when volvo invented lootboxes to make tf2 free to play instead of selling a $60 “AAA” title with a battlepass and lootboxes included.

I feel like this is trying to hide the fact that it’s explicitly talking about the packaging sleeve and not the actual crackers.

- Comment on There is one uncleared level remaining in Super Mario Maker, with 18 days to go before the servers shut down 1 month ago:
Yeah but a lot of DS and Wii games got lucky because most of them were hosted on Gamespy, so getting the hands on the actual software was fairly easy.
A select few Nintendo proprietary games had to be completely reverse engineered, like Gen 4 and 5 Pokemon.
Although I do expect Mario Maker won’t be too difficult.

Jokes on you I spend my time hating on windows specifically

Stupid devs never gave us aero back despite it being the second most requested feature on the stupid insider hub. Then they magically added blur effects 5 years too late when their corporate overlords brought in the next team of intern graphic designers. I still remember the windows 10 leak pic where the whole start menu and taskbar was clear as glass >:(

I mean… the original Bitcoin?
Blockchain never promised anything related to economic viability or stability. Only that it would ensure a P2P network would remain practically safe from malicious transactions by utilizing a system that rewards verification.
By that standard, every other crypto that people use happens to be a pretty successful blockchain use case.
If you want something stable and not a straight cryptocurrency then I’m pretty XRP qualifies because it also handles fiat and other commodities.
Otherwise, most DDBSs don’t use blockchain because they don’t need verification requirements relating to transactions and ownership. DHTs are way more common like IPFS.
- Comment on Nvidia’s finally replacing GeForce Experience with this all-in-one ‘Nvidia app’ - The Verge 2 months ago:
I never realized how stupid GeForce Experience was until I built a PC for someone and realized I’d have to explain to them that they need to register an account on a special software just to keep their GPU driver updated.
Even with the insanity of Nvidia on linux, all I have to do is
sudo dnf install akmod-nvidia
once and let dnf handle updates automatically. - Comment on Nintendo Is Telling Game Publishers Switch 2 Will Be Delayed 2 months ago:
as long as it comes with an unpatchable hardware vuln thast exploitable
homebrew on switch has been abysmal compared to previous consoles because no ones gonna pay to get their switch mod chipped if they cant just gg ez the system with an sd card.
hell even the “old” switch exploit isn’t even a coldboot so you need to either keep a trinket/phone/pc around or never shutdown the console.

- Comment on Where are the good political songs? 2 months ago:
The fast paced Ukrainian version of In The Army Now which protests military marketing and conscription (directed at USA)
Laga Reh (translations required lol) which protests Pakistani government complacency in allowing foreign powers (cough USA cough) to dictate the country at the expense of progress and “disappearing” of any local opposition.

This is why Airbus is superior
You know because they actually have real regulations and consequences for not following proper guidelines in the EU
Also because it was made up of former WW2 engineers at the forefront of innovation including Messerschmitt lol. Boeing made big chungus prop bombers, never any jet fighters or even prop fighters. ^/s^

My dude, we had covid prices and insane global shortages under Trump.
Not that the huge supply chains were his fault, but my 4 year old GPU appreciated 300% during that period.

- Comment on How have you personally found the Lemmy community compared to its competition and other social media? 4 months ago:
Pros:
-
FOSS Everywhere
-
So far, no brigading by salty nationalists
-
So far, excellent moderation on most communities
-
Better UI experience
-
It’s actually fun to engage in many communities here in all types of conversation and media formats
-
Plenty of federated instances to choose from
Cons:
-
Specific communities are small or nonexistent
-
Not enough user generated content per day that you can waste time on (Maybe this is a good thing lol)
-
Instance switching is still a bit of a pain because I am lazy
-
Web UI is okay, nothing too special. Including some alternative frontends
-
Instance federation is like proto p2p. It’s not easily scalable, so it can’t automatically react to sudden demand or attention.

- Comment on Guys!!! It gets good around chapter 1176. 4 months ago:
A lot of these types of media have a really great premise and initial story before it devolves into every Shonen stereotype ever and way the hell too long and specific arcs.
Like One Piece’s original formula of sea travel, pirate action, and island story worked great. It only suffered from Toei’s asanine pacing for the Anime.
Now it’s basically 99% Island and nothing else. No one even acts like pirates anymore, and each Island lasts so long it actually gets boring to watch or read.
The real crime here is that each chapter is about 15 pages, with currently 1101 chapters, yet the each anime episode is 24 minutes long and there are currently 1087 episodes.
Toei has milked this content harder than their infinite stalling in DBZ.

Was gonna explain, but SugarSnack already said it.
You hold the clutch at the bite point before you even reach the gas.
It takes practice, but even on the steeper hills it works fine. It all happens in under a second and you’re off.
Cars that auto throttle with clutch make this even easier to do because you don’t have to worry about stalling either.
- Comment on You guys need to stop 5 months ago:
handbrake starts are useless if you live literally anywhere with significant hills/slopes and traffic lol
You gotta learn to just give the proper gas to clutch ratio, otherwise you’ll be holding up traffic anytime you want to move forward

The sheer amount of engineering, FCC regulations, and wizardry that goes into making 802.11 fast is insane. It feels weird seeing so much data get shoved through radio waves which are still subject to only one transmission at a time which is why we have stuff like CSMA/CA and MIMO
Still no match for good ol ethernet though lol
