  • As a PC Linux gamer I hear you...I really do, but listen...I really just wanna stick something Steambox-esque on my face and finally have a smooth open source VR experience.

    I'm really looking forward to that.

    And I know when they announce it, it'll probably be way out of reach for me, but I'm still looking forward to it lol.

  • "Flushable wipes"; "dishwasher-safe"; "odourless" - What are some other blatant lies that companies get away with?

    Jump

  • I remember that! Kids going down slides and playing with bottles that...looked like fish? O.o

  • Please brain

  • This but at a larger timescale.

    "Well today is work and tomorrow is work and the next day is some thing I gotta do and the next day is errands and then work again and then....the month's basically already over."

  • Estonia: Court sentences leader of country's pro-Russian political party to 14 years in prison for treason

    Jump

  • See, the U.S should've done exactly this when Russian shills/agents were taking over our offices, knowingly aligning policies, and ordering violent acts in collaboration with the Russian warmongering regime, in order to undermine our independence.

    Sounds like Estonia nipped it in the bud.

  • Trump says he'll deliver prime-time address to the nation on Wednesday

  • If I watched this at all, it'd just be to see if I could fill out my bingo card, here. . .

  • BBC vows to defend itself in $10bn Donald Trump lawsuit

  • Legally speaking? Mountains of evidence, too!

  • I consider myself pretty knowledgeable with most computing tasks, not particularly great with basic spreadsheets, but unless there's some kind of usable frontend to reliably manage a database, I mostly see databases as:

    "A magic box that holds tons of cryptic information, would be tedious to open, risky to edit, risky to backup or migrate or update, and could corrupt at any moment."

    Maybe I should put more effort into learning DBs besides initializing them in a Docker compose and praying, but for human readable information that's meant to be shared, I think you're bang on the money when it comes to why spreadsheets are still so popular!

  • U.S. military willing to attack “designated terrorist organizations” within America, general says

    Jump

  • we're ready to make Americans' lives a living hell

    Haha you think you could do this better than our current leadership has already? :p

    Jump

  • I mean yeah, right after they were screeching about "top secret FEMA camps that are really death camps" and then turned around and started throwing immigrants into cages in actual secret death camps in random countries.

    Any minute now I expect them to ban prayer in school, fake a moon landing, and start trying to spray chemical trails from planes.

  • If evil has one redeeming quality, it's the inevitability of turning on itself. I feel like we're already starting to see some of that happening.

  • shouldn't be tolerated from our politicians.

    That's what's getting me so bad about all of this. Constantly.

    There was some sort of facade of gentlemanly/ladyly respect in politics before, but now there's just a klan of bullies who say and do whatever they want and say "So, what are you gonna do about it?"

    And the opposition can seemingly do naught but shrug and hand over all of our lunch money.

  • This was awesome when it was just me and my family in a hospital waiting room with like a few other folks who were doing their own thing. The TV just blasting ads and maybe some talk show or something, as it does.

    Boop. Lowered the volume and could finally hear myself think.

    Felt Watchdogs AF lol.

  • How do you manage your home server configuration?

    Jump

  • I'd really like to know if there's any practical guide on testing backups without requiring like, a crapton of backup-testing-only drives or something to keep from overwriting your current data.

    Like I totally understand it in principle just not how it's done. Especially on humble "I just wanna back up my stuff not replicate enterprise infrastructure" setups.

  • Trump administration says White House ballroom construction is a matter of national security

    Jump

  • "National Security" sounds like it's actually a bunker he's gonna hide in after he starts a major war, and ponders taking the easy way out when it's finally surrounded by the Allies.

    (Maybe I'm mixing up my history, it all sounds so similar...)

  • More code = more better

    Jump

  • First, we'll deep dive into "What is a variable?", then together we'll examine "Who sets a variable?", "What is an LLM?" and finally, "Who would set a variable without using an LLM?"

    You'll be a coding pro in no time!

    How does that sound?

    (I felt gross writing this lmao)

  • Is entertainment getting worse or am I getting old?

    Jump

  • Fair.

    I'm struggling with that a lot right now. I'm not even "old", I'm a martial artist, I'm a computer graphics artist, I want to design games, but I'm constantly feeling too slow to handle everything.

    Am I getting dumber? Am I getting slower? Why is it taking longer to remember things?

    And I feel my sense of imagination and wonder is slipping, being replaced more and more by "impending threats" anxiety: "Oh shit, food prices are doing what now?" "Wait what fundamental freedom are they now 'cracking down' on?"

    A lot of artists and gamedevs and tabletop game masters all say they have "too many ideas." Lately I just see fog and don't know how to engage my creativity.

    I wonder if COVID stole my brain power. :(

  • As a millennial who's still just trying my damnedest to learn everything I can and be a capable, intelligent, creative human being with my life, and maybe do something neat with all that...

    These findings bring me to enraged tears over what they did to us in 2020.
