I mean it is from 1951. I’ve seen a lot worse by people who meant it.
It’s 4 years before Emmett Till was murdered for example.

Probably not a lot of point while PC hardware costs this much.
I guess bringing it to PC several years late at full price isn’t doing much for them either.
It may work for Rockstar, but that’s about it.


Jellyfin Lifetime Pass continues to be better value.
Hello, I’d like to drive around in an unsolved Rubik’s Cube please.


That’s because they do.
Phew, we wouldn’t want the poor getting a say.
Well, good news!
You’ll certainly have a lot of blackberries if you plant them.
The bushes down near the river by me are about 20 feet thick and 8 feet high. The only other thing growing near them are nettles. It’s a genuinely fearsome plant.
Two things have lead to that first picture though.
We’ve been underpaying farmers for a long time. Everyone buys from supermarkets, and supermarkets will pay farmers a meagre amount for produce. Cheap imports are further hammering the farmer. Hard to compete in northern Europe with slavery conditions in southern Spain.
We’ve been overpaying for solar too. Locking it to the rate of fossil fuel energy means it’s well worth covering a field in solar panels and reaping the rewards.
Both of these should change, but since nobody has any money, it’s a hard sell to make people want to pay more for farm produce, especially when you don’t know who is soaking that extra money up. Capitalism says it’s going to be the supermarket owners taking the lion’s share.
Look, I just want historical accuracy in my movie about sea monsters and cyclopses!
As we all know, despite part of the story taking place in Africa, there were no black people in ancient Greece!


I think it’s always been like that, unless you upgrade a CPU for a 10% improvement.
I tended to do GPU as one upgrade, then the rest a few years later, treating the RAM, CPU and mobo as one unit.
But since prices of everything have been out of whack for ages now, I’m sticking with this 1060/i5-8400 box until something gives. If I want the latest whizzo graphics, I’ll play my PS5.


Those are perfectly cromulent words.


Hardest that I’ve beaten were Sigrun from God of War, and King Hrólf Kraki from GoW: Ragnarok.
Bosses that made the entire game up to that point feel like a tutorial.


We Brits got rid of a lot of them (and laughably called them “smart” motorways), so now we just sit there and watch people burn.


The hype actually feels like some of the vintage marketing for BASIC.
“So simple, your boss can do it!”
It’s probably been like this every time we go “up” a level of abstraction. We’re still needed because complicated shit will always be complicated, and people who make decisions will always need an underling to blame.


You speak for yourself, I’m flying through this killer sudoku book…


Yeah, fully agree with all that.
I’ve got some godawful spaghetti code I don’t understand fully, and it’s pretty good at deciphering that and the bizarre labyrinth of code paths leading around it. But it’s absolutely no guarantee of working code, and in any project larger than a simple crud app, you are going to still need programmers who know about things like memory and databases.
It often needs pointing at a solution you want, because as you pointed out, it’s fond of dumb band-aids. Like yesterday when it was trying to hook into mouse wheel events and create separate threads, when all it needed was an event on the dataset I was using to load a sub-dataset.


Maybe we should fork an Enshittyfin and add these vital features.


He’s just realised Trump hates him as much as the people he hates.
Oh look, when you brainwash an entire generation into thinking a rival group are subhuman and not worthy of life, they’ll think nothing of posting their war crimes online because they don’t see themselves as doing anything wrong.
