I started playing Drakar & Demoner (now known as "Dragonbane") in the 80's, but after a long abscence from the world of TTRPGs I started playing D&D 5E in 2020. Now I'm exploring Pathfinder 2E, as well as designing my own GURPS-inspired game. My home in the Fediverse is https://ttrpg-hangout.social/.

  • I figured it out - it was memmaker. It automatically edited autoexec.bat (and possibly also config.sys, I'm not sure).

  • That might have been one way of doing it, but I seem to remember a more mnemonic name - something like "memmaker," perhaps?

    Edit: Yep, it was memmaker.

  • I was talking to a friend just the other day about that. I remember some application we used to reconfigure autoexec.bat to optimize it for one type of memory or the other, but I can't remember the name of the application (I think it came with the OS), and I can't remember what the different memory types were called either.

  • It’s not alarmist: A second Trump term really is an extinction-level threat to democracy

  • I'm commenting on the headline, not the article. I'm allowed to do that.

    No, it is not an extinction-level threat to democracy. We have plenty of democracy in the rest of the western world, thank you very much. A second Trump term would be a huge threat to US democracy though. But that's not what this headline implies. Extinct means gone forever, from everywhere. That's simply not the case. I'm tired of Americans forgetting that there's a world outside their borders.

  • Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers

  • What's so strange about that? It's not like the government - any government - is just one person. Of course some people in government can mess with other people in government. Even people in the same office mess with each other. Intra-office politics, and so on.

  • Been thinking this for over a decade

  • "We"? Who are "we"? Star fleet?

    People have to remember that this is the Internet, this thing is global.

  • So if we can't completely 100% deal with a problem, we shouldn't even try? I mean, you're correct, but we can't solve all problems at once. If we deal with at least one, then we've made progress. Then we can try to deal with the next one.

  • Jon Stewart Is Taking Trump’s ‘Enemy Within’ Threats Very Seriously

  • The US is fucked.

    Yes, I agree, and it makes me very sad. The US has been very good for me personally, I get movies, music, technology, relative stability in the world, and so on from the US. I just feel sad for the poor saps who have to live there.

    But now, we can't count on the US being the top political power in the world anymore. So now the EU really has to step up, because we don't want China or Russia to become the new #1.

  • Chat GPT appears to hallucinate or outright lie about everything

  • Lol, of course not.

    ... my cutting hammers are in the bathroom.

  • Chat GPT appears to hallucinate or outright lie about everything

    Jump

  • Yes. I've experimented with this too. This is the perfect use case for LLMs - there are no wrong answers, the LLM should just make something up, which is what it does.

  • Chat GPT appears to hallucinate or outright lie about everything

  • Agreed. As far as I know, there is no actual artificial intelligence yet, only simulated intelligence.

  • spreading a conspiracy

    I know this is off-topic, but can we please go back to saying "conspiracy theory"? Conspiracy and conspiracy theories are not the same. There are actual conspiracies (a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful) , and there are theories of conspiracies. They should not be confused.

  • Switched to linux before it became mainstream

    Jump

  • My one thing I feel like I can brag about in tech circles is that I switched to Linux in 1995 (Linux kernel version 1.2.1), and I haven't looked back since. This was even before Windows 95 was released.

    The richest Dutch pay 28% tax while the rest pay 40% or more

  • Not misleading, no one misunderstands

    Speak for yourself, I misunderstood. I thought that income above a certain point was taxed at 28%.

  • Old XKCD, still relevant

    Jump

  • Yes. However, if you had skipped the -f, it would have been valid. Without the filename argument, it assumes it should extract from the tape drive (TAR = Tape ARchive). The tape device is probably something like /dev/rmt0, but you don't need to specify that. Using the -f is technically an exception which means "instead of extracting from the tape like you'd normally do, pretend that this file is the tape device instead."

  • Oh and their CEO is a rich frat boy and also probably the one with the crayons.

    I'm not so sure, I'm pretty sure that guy ate all his crayons before he could do any kind of drawing.
