Not all data is equal. I backup things i absolutely can not lose and yolo everything else. My love for this hobby does not extend to buying racks of hard drives.

Any time I see her, I immediately think of that time she threw her massive dong on the table. For some reason, this video is burned into my brain.

Dude, you’re not gonna believe this but hear me out. You are high right now. This isn’t real. Lemmy isn’t real. You ate some shrooms and have been high for what may feel like a year now. Its not been a year. You’re in your room on your bed. Its 10PM. Its July 2025.

I figured as such when I noticed, on multiple occasions, prices for random products would just suddenly change, multiple times a week for different people I knew. And also how seemingly multiple different pages for the same product were available with a word switched here and there… friends got product page 1, I got product page 2. Same product different price. Amazon always seemed shady to me and was kinda surprised it was always the go to online store for people.
I could never trust a price on amazon, even though they were always almost always cheaper than local alternatives.

It’s not that bad. You’re generally not aware of what you’re doing for the first 10 years. Then study for the next 10. Then, if you work to live and not live to work, you might get something out of life. Anything post work, I kinda see as a bonus, not a goal. Predisposed medical conditions may mean you aren’t seeing those years anyway. Actually… it may be that bad lol.
Just don’t take it that seriously. Live till you die.

No way. You’re telling me I can just write json instead?

Lol no. They’ll just hire some people to do it like they always have.
Create a fucked up world where a small handful of people control every resource. Everyone else has nothing. Give a few people a little more and they’ll kill for it. Its never going to be robots, we’ll be killing and be killed by our own kind.

Don’t most countries offer subsidies for photovoltaics? Put solar on your roof and your energy bill goes down. That’s the most direct government investment I can think of that will effect you directly.
Other than that, its supply and demand. The government building huge solar arrays wont bring your bill down if the demand for energy keeps rising. They’d need to build more production than there is demand.

Realistically, I don’t think anyone would come after you anyway. It is de facto legal. I’d say in the name of pragmatism, we don’t really need a legal framework around it.

These are real units.
One is 6 minutes, 5 seconds and the other is 5 minutes, 2 seconds.

There are valid use cases for non owners, but I think they don’t outweigh the cost. Sometimes you have to sacrifice something and this is something I could live with.

I clicked a random thread and it looks like a lot of posters don’t even own the game. I’ve seen this a lot of times, people flaming and trolling on a game’s forum don’t even own the game. Thought the simplest fix would be to just not let them post and restrict game forums to those who bought it.

Nintendo did it to control their three markets separately. JP games came earlier and Nintendo carefully planned when games were available in each market. They also did it cause some regions were cheaper and they didn’t want anyone not paying NintendoTax™.

People will argue Switch 2 isn’t region locked, but I’ll be fucked if Japanese only language in JP Switch 2 isn’t a region locking mechanism. That thing is half off in Japan compared to EU. Maybe its not a traditional lock but they’re doing selective exclusion.

“globalists” tells me everything I need to know.

Yup. When it expires, its done for. When it’s past the best by date, it just means it’s best days are over. Much like my own.

Caching. I’m guessing they download the internet to large storage arrays and then run neural network learning on them. Its probable they download all videos too and transcribe them later. So its not so much used for hosting content, but for teaching models.

Ive lost the kind of romanticism i had for gaming as a kid, so I dont really fall in love with games anymore. Im also generally self aware enough to stop playing before I start hating a game. I may get sick of a genre, leave it be and return in 5 years.

Reading the title of this post though, the first game that came to mind was gta. Last time I played gta V was on the 360 when I 100% the campaign and I didn’t really feel the same way as I did for IV. You might say I fell out of love with gta, as a franchise. This after having playednand loved all of them in the 15 years before V launched.

Heh same here. I’m missing so many toolbars I regularly use in VS. I do use VScode at home but I’m always at a loss on how to do something.

The thing about CLI is that everything is hidden by default. You come to the application with your own mindset and a goal in mind and you figure out how make it do what you want.
When there’s a GUI, you often see everything that’s possible from the start and so the application dictates how you use it.

Though, you can do either with CLI and GUI as well. That’s the sweet spot I think is the best. I love it when a CLI app guides the user through a process and gives options. And a good GUI should disable OK buttons and show validation errors if not everything is entered correctly.

In a perfect world, every app has a CLI mode, interactive and non interactive and a GUI mode with full validation and responsive UI changes. But realistically, good UX is what we need, either GUI or CLI.

Cost me 200eur towards the end of 2023. Crazy, I’d sell it if I didn’t need it.
