Last I tried it, it blinked red and blue also hahaha.

“Hwat in cornnashun!?”

Holy coconuts it REALLY DOES! That’s some weapons grade level snark right here LOL. Wow that “controversies” section…

Honestly great move to immortalize when fascist strongmen act “weird” and embarass themselves to the world by sharing their true thoughts.

I thought Link Time Optimization usually involved at least an ocarina…

From the genius and his whipped minions that brought you MechaHitler after some “fixes and improvements”…

…Comes the same AI that offers to “fix your code.”

Wow. Simply astounding. A magnificent feat indeed, to waste so many finite precious resources over such garbage.

Kindly Ctrl+A and shift-delete “All your code files”, sir.

Believe it or not, mathematics majors who didn’t put “engineer” on their resume. :(

(This is a joke not meant to insult anybody, aside from whomever is responsible for this “degree market value” idea.)

In fact, only the strongest and most ruthless fruits and vegetables are selected to be enforcers.

I would hope, but on the whole you’d almost think they deliberately purged home computing from the mainstream consciousness, with how tragically ignorant the average person is about anything that isn’t a little poke-driven rectangle that screams at you all day.

anime without dimming

So that’s the secret! When I first noticed this happening I thought I was a little bit crazy lol.

I used to love those Kairosoft simulator games. They get a little samey after a while but you get the whole game which is cool

Remember PDAs? The only games that things had were mineswipper, solitaire, chess, sudoku among others.

Space Trader and Dope Wars, all the way. Still worth playing today! You can emulate it on Archive.org or there’s Android ports for Space Trader. Still a fun game. :D

Unfortunately same with Bill Nye. He seemed so pissed at getting recognized by people at a symposium.

Like geeze dude sorry you inspired people as kids and encouraged them to pursue science and they’re excited to meet you.

Maybe it’s inserted into media on purpose, training us like a subtle shock collar to hesitate if somehow, one of the commoners manages to get within range of an authoritarian boss-man.

/Crazy conspiracy lol

This looks like an episode where Big Bird realizes all the really neat grown-up jobs he was telling the kids about this whole time don’t really exist, and he just realized the sheer soul-crushing disappointment of the corporate workplace. :( lol

It probably sounds a little weird, but while I was sitting at the safety of my “occupy a desk until someone asks questions” job that sapped my soul, I often would research places I really, really wouldn’t want to be.

In a weird way I find this “Dark tourism behind a screen” to be a bit fascinating in a "safe danger " kind of way.

Reading the state department’s notices on some countries really puts in perspective. They’re like “Don’t go here without an armored vehicle, armed security detail, and most preferably a good friggin reason. Even still, have a next of kin lined up and ransom plans.”

Edit: also “Oh yeah, if everything goes bad off embassy grounds (if there even is one) our ability to intervene is limited. Don’t expect direct support to come save you.”

Like. Damn.

I’d say inside the country, it’s not as bad as the news makes it sound, because cameras are only pointing at the worst events. It’s a pretty big country and most people are content to just leave each other alone.

…But a huge radius around the borders or airports are “Constitution-free” zones where nobody has any rights, and our borders/customs folks have a reputation for being less than kind. And those zones, bad enough as they are, are so freakishly large that most people in any populated area are within those zones…so…

…Yeah, maybe wait. . .

before I learned about the Dubai porta potty

I was expecting some sort of ridiculous public sanitation custom. I knew about suspicious weird stories about models “getting on flights and never coming back” but the details make it even worse.

Wish there were people like John Wick to move through these grotesque billionaire circles and purge the monsters entirely.

I have always had zero interest of travelling to or supporting the place, and this only reinforces that.

So the State seizing land and demanding tax was really just a ploy to support their vampire masters. I knew it!

Sometimes (often?) at your own peril!

To anyone else following, if you’re mucking around with “I am Root/Admin. OBEY ME!!” you had better have important data backed up!

I once thought an unlisted BTRFS snapshot was an orphan folder taking up space. No permission? Nonsense! Obey my commands!

Suddenly not even terminal commands worked. (“Command ‘cd’/‘ls’/whatever not found”)

. . . it was the “writable snapshot” currently mounted, and the system was so borked it couldn’t rollback, and I needed to completely reinstall.

Fortunately I had things backed up on another drive. Live and learn! But that could have been TRAGIC.

Dunno if she wrote “thumbs” or the collab with Alan Walker, which I always thought were kinda based, but she was just starting to get popular then maybe. Really sad if she’s let the fame go to her head that badly.

A soul is a terrible thing to waste. :(
