I’d love to see some stats on the drop in active users after each of these sort of blunders they’ve pulled.

Maybe piss and shit and cum

Your boyfriend is at most 25 35 years old, and only if you are 69.

Oooooh boy I’m glad that I already have everyone responding to you blocked.

My wife’s ~15 years older than me, and while it generally doesn’t matter more than making restaurant servers that check ID do a double take, there are times where her pulling me up past a stage of my life has resulted in me lacking some skills people normally build up during that time.

Just be safe and make sure you’re doing what is truly best for each of you. Good luck and enjoy yourself.

It’s simple, just make more money. /j

Money

It’s mostly a metaphor for humanity’s ability to self improve, evolve, and exponentially reproduce. There’s some minor things here and there also drawing a line between spiral power and the “spiral” of DNA.

Edit: Oh, you might also be confused because I’m not sure how much of the finer details pointing at this are in the recap movies. It’s also worth noting that the finale movie is a remake/reimagining of the show finale that takes everything that was already there up to another exponential 11, so while the recaps just cut stuff for time the finale movie is effectively an alternate ending.

Thank you for cross pollination of content!

First off, please no. Second off, I’m curious to how they plan to lock it down like they did on Windows. On Windows they own the OS, so wacky folders that you can’t touch even with the highest admin rights isn’t a stretch, but good luck with that on Linux.

I’ve recently switched to writing my notes in markdown in a code editor, since I already have one open most of the time. vsCode for work (I do a lot of PowerShell), vsCodium at home, although I’m sure there’s better options.

My one gripe with Notepad++ is that I haven’t found any easy way to do dark mode with it. You can make the window “chrome” dark mode, and you can make general text background black and text white, but then that screws up the language specific and file diff themes/coloring.

There’s probably a collection of importable settings for that somewhere online though.

I’ve left all these bodies in the sun

Oh my god yes. Why the hell do I have to open the notification shade to see the number, especially when it gets low?

It shouldn’t be that hard to say, automatically show the number under a certain percentage. If it’s 10% I have around an hour left of medium usage. If it’s under 5% I have anywhere from 30 minutes to 5.

Just show me the number motherfucker, at least when it’s important!

You’re right, but I think you underestimate the intersection of what’s theoretically possible and desperation.

We’ll probably see multiple different things. Some of the equipment will be repurposed for other cloud GPU workloads. We’ll probably see some companies try to make adapters and drivers to get the server hardware compatible with consumer desktops (there’s someone who did a writeup, either on hacker news or hack a day who got older server RAM working on a desktop with an adapter and Linux tomfoolery). Buy up the stuff being sold at a loss, strap their adapter on it, and sell for profit.

But on a low level, all this shit is turing complete. There will be performance losses and considerable overhead, but in theory translation layers and emulation should be able to be written to effectively convert GPU compute to whatever other format is needed.

If it’s taking a total loss vs squeezing the last squirts of profit out, I think there’s going to be attempts to squeeze.

Yeah, I think that’s the running theory of the corporate backup plan if/when AI falls through and they need to find a use for all the data center resources.

~~I’m pretty sure there is directX 9 to directX 10-12 translation layer thing like DXVK, which can be loaded first to bring the direct x version up to one compatible with DXVK.

Just blanking on the name unfortunately.~~

EDIT: Nevermind, DXVK says it handles DX8-12. I was thinking of something that converted below DX8 up into one of the DXVK ones, sorry.

Not really. The cords are all the same inside, the colors are just for convenient matching of the ends.

If both ports are the same color, and wire has the same color on both ends, you’re fine. You can send yellow through a red cable. I’ve definitely had a few times where all I had were a couple of loose cable pairs and it works fine.

You could a little with the later component cables where there were separate ones for the different colors, but the “original” composite cables (yellow, red, and white) only had one video cable and the other two were left and right sound. You could get odd patterns in the static with the sound plugged into the video port, but that was about it. Before that was the single coaxial cable that carried video and sound together, so there wasn’t easily available messing with that without damaging the cable or doing magnetic or RF shenanigans against an unshielded cable.

That said, if you get into messing with some of the old hardware in different ways, you can get some real wild effects from those old analog media standards/hardware/cables.

There’s small communities online doing stuff with it. Search for analog glitch art, analog data moshing, and circuit bending (although that last one is more abusing where digital circuits and hardware are susceptible to analog style weirdness due to basic physics of how electric signals work “analogly” between components).

If you saw anyone else hanging around a garden or forest you might say they’re gardening, foraging, vibing, touching grass, or waiting until their mortal body is reclaimed by nature. But when it’s a gnome they have to be plotting?

If you treat them like you would any other magical creature, spent some time to get to know them, you’d see just how wrong you were. Spend a little less time pondering your orb and little more time out in the real world.

Besides, if you examine the statistics, you’d see that skinwalkers are the real problem. Despite making up only… But I can tell you aren’t ready to be red potioned on that yet.

Yeah, if it’s the same price why the hell would you not stay in a hotel instead of “pretend this random house is a hotel, but now with the added magic of no regulation”

I just want to know what happened to plans 1-8

I don’t think most people have an issue with giving food. Generally it’s reservations about giving money directly with no way to be sure they’ll use it on necessities and not say, illicit substances that will end up making their situation worse.

It’s also a matter of the difficulty and time investment of getting close enough to learn what would benefit them best to give them, while shielding yourself from any potential danger from potential untreated mental health issues.

Then all of that also becomes a matter of time and effort, which most people feel they have a deficit of. So homeless people go unhelped.

It sucks and shitheads deserve to get called out, but like a lot of things Devil’s Panties calls out I feel like chronic exposure to news and social media magnifies these types of shitheads compared to just being out in the world talking to folks and touching grass.

None of that is an excuse for cruelty, or to just not help. It’s just the common thread I hear when talking to people IRL about helping or giving to the homeless.

Simple solution is to go make a bunch of generic “go bags” of essentials and non-perishable foodstuffs for any homeless person you just encounter, and if you see someone more frequently you can take the time it takes to safely get to know them and what they most need.

I find trying to interpret things in good faith helps more than loudly raging about the worst assholes of any group.

Venting is fine, but I feel that’s where things begin and end for more people lately, never getting to the point of working to make things better.

The loudest assholes don’t care about you raging against them, and might even be emboldened by it. The people who aren’t such big assholes get offended that what they consider is relatively normal and justifiable behavior is being linked in with those assholes. People actively on your side of things can feel overwhelmed and like they’ll be attacked the same way for not doing enough.

Edit: And oh yeah, if you’re Christian then none of those concerns are supposed to matter. You’re taught to give explicitly to/at/past the point of any actual real personal detriment (specifics depend on the book/verse, but it’s repeated often throughout).

Jesus Christ was absolutely a progressive radical for his time, and sadly much of his actual teachings still are. WWJD? Chase the money lenders away with a whip made from his own sandals.
