  • Another One Bites the Dust

    Jump

  • I don't know, and honestly I don't think I want to know.

    Nothing good will come from this knowledge.

  • Why isn't there a Windows community? Is Linux winning?

    Jump

  • Customers don't make good good communities.

  • Do you still have faith in humanity?

    Jump

  • In my defense it was the start of a new millennium, Internet seemed like it would democratize knowledge access and speed up development of sustainable technologies in all fields. Cold war was behind us, so it seemed like history was done and we could enjoy some stability after a bloody XX century.

    But yeah, I should have known better.

  • Do you still have faith in humanity?

    Jump

  • Nah.

    The good part is that I won't be around much longer to see it all go to hell in a handbasket.

    The bad part is that my kids will.

    Sorry about that, kids, I honestly did the best I could.

  • Firefox’s AI Kill Switch is a Trap: How Mozilla Made AI Your Problem

    Jump

  • It may be annoying, but your behavior is also annoying, and so you go to my special list. Bye.

  • Which game have you been most patient for?

    Jump

  • Half-Life 3.

    I'm still waiting, Gabe. No pressure. You do your thing.

  • Bcachefs creator claims his custom LLM is 'fully conscious'

    Jump

  • You try to develop a Linux filesystem and see what that does to your mental stability. The interactions on the Linux Kernel Mailing List alone are enough to push most people off the deep end.

  • What happened to Musicals since the 80-90 era? I enjoyed Fiddler on the Roof Dr Zhivago just kind of seem no one cares anymore. Except Walk The Line. But not originals.

    Jump

  • I hate musicals.

    Except Blues Brothers.

    Blues Brothers was cool.

  • What is the term for using positive rhetoric to cover up negative actions or behavior?

    Jump

  • English is not my native language, but I think the word you're after is "bullshit".

  • Deleted

    Permanently Deleted

  • It's a peaceful life.

  • EA invents new microtransaction nightmare as it breaks paywall promise on Skate: rent a playable area for 24 hours or buy a premium pass, bucko

    Jump

  • I think of this practice as a tax on herds.

    You want to belong in a trendy group, you board the hype train and pay the tax to belong in the herd.

  • Have you ever solved a Rubik's Cube? And how?

    Jump

  • As one does.

    It's not cheating, it's thinking outside the box.

  • Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • It's not hard. I loathe hard games, we used to have them in the 80s because, well, how much can you pack in 48 kilobytes? You had to kill the player over and over to get longer engagement time.

    Nowadays, with the amount of storage we have available, it makes no sense to make the game hard unless you are targeting the masochisticcompetitive crowd. You can use it to tell a good story, or pull the player into an immersive reality.

  • Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • It depends on your tastes in games, of course. It's quite linear, it's got some puzzle element, some boss fighting, but what it makes it good is the storytelling. Good characters, lovely scenarios, compelling writing.

    Feels a bit like Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, or the Amnesia series: there's a story there, and some gaming elements thrown in to keep you going. I'm quite liking it, I want to know what happens next.

  • What's your favorite band?

    Jump

  • The Presidents Of The United States Of America.

    Silly lyrics about bugs and serious rock. What's not to like?

  • AsteroidOS 2.0 Released

    Jump

  • I'd love to, but I have committed all my free time (all 120 minutes per week, it feels) to a project I started years ago and I need to finish.

  • Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?

    Jump

  • A Plague Tale, Alien Breed, Hellslave. Quite the mix, huh?

  • Advice on which retrogaming handheld I should buy?

    Jump

  • I already had a powerful computer with a great screen in my hand, so I bought a controller to attach to my phone. Works for me.

  • Wifi what happened

    Jump

  • Yes.

    If you dual boot, Windows will put the hardware in a zombie state. Linux won't find the hardware. You need to boot to Windows, disable fast boot or whatever the hell they call it, and shutdown. Then it should work.
