Oh, look, a news headline from five years ago
Refugee from another, less-friendly instance. Please forgive the youth of my account— I’ve actually been around here for a while. Still, glad to be here!
Oh, look, a news headline from five years ago
The reason I absolutely believe this to be true? Because I’ve used this on my little brothers since we were kids. I’m 45.
It’s called “reverse psychology.”
It was getting a bit too sciency and not enough shitposty around here
Says the guy proposing a form of logic on “the web of lies” lol
Or nobody will trust it
I learned so much in those days about the outrageously absurd, efficiency of code and concatenation and stupid little things. Early days of coding and even scripting through these silly difficulties shaped us in ways we can’t even recognize now.
It was all about solving puzzles using primitive tools and incompatible systems just so we could play simple games. I’m reading articles now about how Gen Z doesn’t even know how to type, lol.
not my bedtime!
you just gave me a panic attack about trying to get ultima underworld II and Star Wars: TIE Fighter to run
you had me at P!=NP
It all started with a bag of meth and this woman named Carol Baskin…
All hail Almighty Ra!
These are different because kids take these computers home, and it’s some random working for a 3rd party monitoring what’s going on.
Creepy.
It did get annoying having to run back and forth through all of the worlds, but some were very cool, like the one with the fighting arenas. And the tomb with all the levels. And the story was awesome.
The sequel was pretty good too. They’re both on GOG, btw, And have aged pretty well. The graphics aren’t so good, but the story and gameplay are still pretty great. I still replay them (and the Myst games) from time to time.
lol, if you say so. I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels a little let down with myself ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Funny, I speculated to a friend about a year ago that intel’s general fuckery might cause them problems not to far down the road , and here they are. Hmm, if only I had money to back that up… I’d probably have more money or whatever.
Or maybe not so much since I think just about everyone saw this coming. My friend certainly did.
Well, maybe I’m just too GenX, but, to me, that’s a distinction without a difference. WhatsApp is texting with extra steps, and Twitter is for Nazis. I’ve never used the former and gave up the latter along with FB and insta early on during covid. Reddit was my last social whatever, and I jumped that ship last June for this last shout.
I’ve never had tiktaky or snapsnore. Most of my time on my phone is spent either here or listening to news podcasts— which is pretty much what I did as a teenager: listening to NPR as my morning routine then a news/music mix throughout the day.
Hmmm…. How unusual and a little confusing to be both impressed and disappointed in oneself… well that’s why some of our best paid scientists are furiously genetically engineering new strains of cannabis! So I don’t have to deal with this shit!
At best that’s just unclear. Blocking VPNs isn’t impossible, just impractical. And it’s not like Brazil just became China. At worst, the just made accessing X impracticality expensive for its users— which, in Brazil, is a lot of people. In typical Brazilian fashion, they’re hitting Elon in the wallet.
Anything to keep the workers subjugated… even tanking a bedrock American corporation…
What a stupid hill to die on.
Rest in piss, assholes
