From a certain angle it could be a compliment. “I know how good you are, so I can’t undersell you”

Use that angle when someone calls you out on this insult.

For me personally, VR is the last thing holding me back. Hopefully that changes soon though. My laptop has already been Windows-free for a while.

That depends on what drugs he’s on

I don’t know what everyone else is using, but Revanced works perfectly for me despite the exaggerated claims of its demise.

I second this, but only for work from home folks.

This makes me wonder how the space snake bit Morty in Rick and Morty.

Just checked. Holes/valves/airlocks for the fangs:

Is it the 40 pound box of cake mix that kills? Or is the person hucking the 40 pound box of cake mix?

Being purely optimistic, I’d say that it’s great that kids are taking interest in politics.

However, like you said, the money making focus could take priority over true opinions. And on top of everything, this is taking place on a platform where the platform is in full control of who sees what.

Far from the ideal of soapboxes in the town square, but I guess that’s just today’s world.

It would either be Golden Axe or Space Cadet Pinball.

But they’ll implement a one time fee to change your dpi, and then a few years after that it’ll be subscription.

Everyone’s reading from the same playbook

I also watched Pokemon and DBZ when I was young, not even knowing about anime.

In highschool I thought “What is anime? Let’s give it a shot”. I opened up Hulu and somehow picked out Non Non Biyori. Looking back, it was a banger choice.

I’m here. I don’t know if it has changed since I was a child or if I just didn’t notice, but the cream is disgusting. It’s mostly just palm/canola oil.

I don’t dislike the cookie part. It’s not to die for, but it is a classic flavor that tastes great in milkshakes.

If it gained sentience and took over the world, at least it would probably build itself some nice nuclear power plants.

Default state is a hard left, flooring it is a hard right, precisely 50% is straight.

I love the Moon+ Reader app. Tons of features. I like that it has a dark mode and you can set the brightness very very low (on OLED) so reading in the dark at night is comfortable.

That’s their kink.

In addition to all the automation everyone has talked about, some of us are also data nerds.

I enjoy knowing the temp, air quality, etc. in every room. How does this change throughout the day/season? Did leaving this door open or this fan on improve anything? What can I automate at what threshold to improve things?

You can also get a lot of data about energy usage too. And if you have solar and battery, it’s neat seeing how much it affects and how much you save.

Automation is useful, but in the end it’s just a hobby like many other things. It’s fine to be into it or not into it.

And the nature of computers is that they are magnitudes better than humans at brute forcing. Machine learning can brute force (depending on the technique, it can be smarter than brute forcing, being more efficient) test many many many more designs and techniques than we could manually do. Sure it’ll fail many times, but it’s just a numbers game, and it can pump those numbers. It’ll try a lot of weird and unique stuff we wouldn’t even think to try, with varying degrees of success.

Yeah, it makes me think back to the CD days. I think just having a Windows install CD already premade for you made the process at least semi approachable.

Last month when I was installing an OS (it was proxmox, not exactly beginner friendly, I know) the first boot disk creator I used “worked” but ended up failing in the install. The second one worked though.

All in all, creating your own install disk is nice and flexible, but it really is a barrier for the average user.
