A cute girl I knew a few years ago got the Orion Experience (group) on my radar and I learned recently that while yes the songs are clearly about a sexual deviant (which is what made them cool bruh), it’s about that kind of sexual deviant, because Orion very much likes kids apparently
That fucking ruins everything and they’re bops that I can’t get out of my head sometimes, so that’s nice
I know Terraflops are real and what they measure
I still refuse to believe they’re not a fake term used to fluff up tech announcements and make shit sound more powerful than it is because that’s a fucking stupid name that nobody should use
smashing printers with baseball bats
I have years of IT experience, offer Linux support, and am visibly the kind of guy you just know can fix your computer problem (or, if I take my glasses off, I look like I sell weed apparently), and when asked to help with printers I have one answer:
They’re sentient and they hate you. I was trained in IT, not exorcisms. Send it as a PDF, PNG, or smoke signal before you try troubleshooting.
Like, I broke my big office one the other day so bad the tech had to come out. What had I done to brick it so badly? Tap a menu option, tap back, then tap a different menu option. If you don’t wait 3s between the second and third tap it errors and freezes and they have to send a tech out to do some sort of 2 hour long ritual where he rubs it and whispers how sorry he is.
What the fuck is wrong with printers
Nah, i’ll use it for the games that refuse to enable anticheat, and I’ll use the LTSC version whether Microsoft likes it or not
Respecting terms of service is for chumps
Premiere Pro runs smoother on Linux than on Win7-10 ever did
After effects felt the same as PP
So far I haven’t run into any program wine/bottles can’t run. Closest I got was needing to install a second program through wine and run them through the same prefix which is not hard at all
best replacement for Excel
I’ve never met a google sheet that couldn’t do what excel did unless excel was being made to do shit it really isn’t ideal for
Yeah it’s another Corp, but you don’t have to pay and you can simultaneously edit the file on 80 devices at the same time if you want
Yes:
What could’ve fit in a screen of text should not be a video at all
In your opinion, maybe
I save videos for later all the time, I just watch them never
Ok, that’s your own bad habit, guess you don’t need to participate since you won’t watch em
If some information is not visual-first, and not entertainment, if it may be important to people and should be spread, it also better not be a video
Tell that to broadcast news. The information provided in videos like this is basically never something original if it’s not entertainment, so you absolutely can find the information elsewhere
Still have yet to see any arguments as to how relevant content on a relevant link aggregator is in any way bad to people who don’t have a weird hate boner for specific media types, because there isn’t one 😉
Because they found it interesting and wanted to discuss it with people?
Just because it’s low priority doesn’t mean it lacks any interest, we can exist between extremes
Most people would roll their eyes and move on
Quite famously 1% of the community are posters, after all. Who the fuck cares what a normal person would post? OP wanted to
and yet it’s being upvoted because “hooray tribalism” over something as asinine as OS (really kernel) choice.
Lol, it’s being upvoted because most of us recognize the sub and it’s pathetic mod and are laughing at being reminded of them, if the comments are anything to go by
this is a website for posting things
Deep, complex reasons
If only there were some save for later button so you could come back later or something
Yeah, figured people would downvote me for pointing out that was a garbage response
Videos don’t degrade the quality of s link aggregator, you’re not required to immediately participate the moment you see it
in my opinion they don’t contribute to the quality here.
As respectfully as possible: huh?
We’re on a link aggregation site, for posting links to things off-site and discuss them in relevant communities
If something is a video or article it makes no difference on its quality or relevance to the community at hand, no?
Create the parent entity electron, give it properties, then clone as needed
That’s just efficient world design, guys, why make assets different if you don’t gotta, yakno?
Me simply saying I’ve personally seen you do something in response to you claiming you haven’t is in now way an argument or an admonishment of shit
Its a statement of fact against your false claim, and your pathetic attempt to spin it against me somehow is reeeeally sad
User notes say otherwise, as does my memory of the event, can’t trick me :)
Just despicable, absolutely attrocious behavior.
Yah, like when you defended literal, actual Nazis a few months back
User notes are fun
But how feasible is it to have a recording of every single time any high school brit lit class put on Shakespear?
significantly less so than video games, which are digital files that are at least for a while all stored on a companies servers
But, again, is a copy of the state of WoW on October 25th 2024 all that important when you consider that what really matter are the players
You wouldn’t be copying a specific date, you’d be copying a game version. Opinions on how granular it should go vary, but in a game like FFXIV for example I’d say every major number patch. I’d quote like to go back and remember how things looked, felt, and we’re back then even without the players, which are the least important part of preserving that game world to me
Which gets back to the argument of preserving the games themselves (which I think has a lot of merit) versus preserving the culture around them. And people tend to conflate the two because they think “we are preserving culture” gives them a stronger argument.
Ah, I think I get what’s happening here: video games are culture. Youre misinterpreting it as meaning “the culture around games” but we mean it literally as “a work of art/part of culture”, like “high culture art” or similar phrases. People preserve paintings, why not games? Both are culture
Because they are very different problems. And conflating the two is how you end up losing masters because “there are VHSes with it on it”.
You’re the only person conflating them
Giving your vote to an independent or worse not voting at all, just gives more of a chance for Trump to win the election
If you don’t live in one of the 7 states that matter in an election then you can vote your morality, safe in the knowledge that the EC will ignore your input, anyway
Inb4 some dipshit mentions down ballots when we’re talking about the fucking presidential election
I love the arrogance of telling somebody what they mean
You used words that mean something. If your half baked mind has invented new meanings for the word that’s on you, not me
You’ve descended into “I just need to be right” now
I never wasn’t
No point discussing anything.
You’d have to be coherent for that first
My local ISP is run by Trumpers out of one little office nearby
I’d love a final reason to firebomb them after all the bullshit, honestly
