  • Excellent question

    Jump

  • It ain't the ingredients and it ain't the cauldron

    Which come together to make a potion

    Its about the knowledge, the right gods to call on

    And geting your back into proper mixxing motion

  • Really putting the "ass" in comparison there. Also, if a person say... wrote a best selling beloved children's book series, but then heel-turned into a piece of shit, it absolutely does ruin their entire body of work for a lot of people.

    Like, this happens, what is the comic even talking about?

  • Ive never seen these before and I'm enthralled! The music and visual style reminds me a lot of Cruelty Squad. Is there an accepted name for this "genre"? It's almost like pre-AI slop but with a pedal-to-the-floor surrealism that elevates it tremendously.

  • It gets worse actually. You can define a number system using any power of 2 amount of i-like units in a similar relationship to quaternions using the Cayley-Dickson construction

    Fascinatingly, you lose some property of the algebra at each step. Quaternions aren't commutative: ABC != CBA. Octonians aren't associative: (AB)C != A(BC). Once you get into 16 i's with subscripts, it really gets crazy.

    (Also, I just got the joke. Damnit @HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone your serious answer threw me off!)

  • Vintage gaming advertising pictures: a gallery

  • The GBA SP really was a great portable. I carried my black\silver "executive" model everywhere and felt cool as shit at the time.

    Those PS2 ads though, holy shit, what was Sony smoking back then?

    Which git branch are you on?

  • For all the sudden word scholars here: there is no second word "master" that's spelled, pronounced, and written exactly the same as the other one but is entirely unrelated to the concept of master\slave. All modern meanings of the word master derive from the same root: magister, meaning an authority or teacher.

    A "master recording" is the authority, the base copy from which all others are duplicated. They aren't called "slave" copies, although the primary use of the terms in computing did originally use those 2 words. Also as someone else pointed out, you don't even really make copies of git branches in the same way as audio so the term is misapplied.

    Main is also a bad name, unless you're working on a solo project with only 1 main branch and some features. As soon as you start collaborating with other people, you should really have individual dev branches or "forks" (be honest, 90% of you aren't rawdogging git straight from the CLI, there's a forge website involved as hub) to work on, with an integration\testing "fork"\branch to combine work and a release branch for final code, with each discrete release tagged.

    No gods, no kings, no masters!

  • No one commits to trunk anymore....

  • I just released my 2 hour long video essay "The Death of Breadtube". It took a few months of hard effort to make

    Jump

  • I wanted to see a recap of Libthony Breadtano getting canceled for only rating the Palestinian genocide a "Light to Mid 6"

  • A random Hollyhock decided to grow in our yard!

  • Looks like you've been chosen to lead the next Nobilis game!

    (It's a TTRPG, the game moderator role is called the Hollyhock God, because Hollyhock means "pride" in the language of flowers.)

  • People are ragging on the AI art, but the message is also bland pseudo-mystic instagram-motivational word spew. Many religions and philosophies teach things like this, but even real quotes are reduced to pithy candy aphorisms when taken out of context like this.

    Like it definitely is trying to riff on the genre of Zen Pencils.

    And funny enough, that Thoreau quote is more in line with global views on happiness: the pursuit of it is in some ways the root of it's nonexistence. When we focus on making a better and simpler world for all, happiness often follows.

  • Gosuki: a privacy friendly, real time, multi-browser, extension-free bookmark manager

    Jump

  • Ooooh, I'd been thinking of switching to a standalone bookmark manager. I've had such luck moving to Keepass for password management (and using syncthing as my universal "no cloud" solution) that I'm hoping to eventually get all my cloud and proprietary-vendor-features moved to self-hosted OSS apps.

  • Excuse me, I'm trying to work today! Please refrain from posting this pornography in regular funny star trek threads!

  • Not gonna lie, this is probably my favorite work-from-home perk.

  • Gotta be careful of that heat! Make sure to wear a big shady hat and have plenty of water when doing weed for lunch, the hottest part of the day!

  • OK but unless one if the 17 benefits is "drugs you to wakefulness with caffeine" then it isn't exactly a coffee substitute is it?

  • This is far from the first Devil's Panties comic posted here and many of the others mention her ADHD. You're missing the deep lore.

  • My impressions from this comic are that I would hate the creator if I ever met them.

    I think the joke is a typical take on ADHDers having "eyes bigger than their stomachs" for large tasks. Swimming in a lake is very fun, and can help one feel connected to nature. Swimming across a lake is a huge task, possibly requiring training, could take a long time, and is dangerous.

    Why they decided to sit on the beach instead of swimming at all, I have no idea. Maybe it's a "lakes are deep and scary because lake monsters" thing?

  • Outlets like the BBC regularly reused film stock and destroyed their archives. Many episodes of old shows like Dr. Who (the first season especially) are lost media due to this practice. The show's were considered like stage plays: performed once, broadcast, and the money was made. For how "innovative" capitalism is, it took the corpos decades to realize the latent value of media IP.

    The ongoing push towards *AAS is the backlash to realizing that physical media gave consumers a permanent version of things. They actually prefer it under the broadcast model where you got what they felt like putting out and liked it.

    My point is that capitalism and culture are fundamentally incompatible. The illusion that capitalism has culture is only because it steals culture from the people who actually create it by alienating us from the process of creation (automation, assembly lines, AI, etc) and then using IP law to claim ownership over the artifacts of culture, which they sell back to us. The owner class have never been good stewards of anything.
