Yeah, but it's true for me, though.

I'm an artist. I make illustrations in 2D and model in 3D. Income from it is shit, but it's what I love doing.

However, I needed to take more hours for my day job just to afford life. Now I have less time to work my craft and everything had slowed to a crawl.

Dead monkeys and apes, yes. The bodycount in primates for the development of Neuralink isn't... Fun.

Playstation controllers got it right, or at least, their kind of configuration. Doesn't have to specifically be a controller from PlayStation.

Anything with offset analogue sticks is cancerous to use.

No, he's right. You sound like you're writing a corporate ad.

How about heavily carbon taxing the rich cunts, hmm?

You know, instead of another bullshit scheme to offset the responsibility of climate change to the majority of the population with the least control over it?

You forgot Dune. The book, not the movie. A lot from Dune inspired the basis of Star Wars.

As a cell stage game Thrive is pretty good. As a realistic successor to SPORE it's terrible; more than a decade and they've never managed to get anywhere beyond the cell stage.

The cell stage is getting better with each update, sure, but it seems like they haven't even touched any other elements of their game.

Enjoying a stable OS?

Tattorack ,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Cutting edge versions aren't stable either. You're essentially a beta tester for new features that may end up in an LTS release.

I'd rather have an LTS release where things have generally been tested well enough to warrant an LTS release.

The space sim lidt seems to be missing Vega Strike.

@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Been a long time since I played it myself, but it was my first introduction to space sims.

Development of the game picked up again just a year or so ago, after a long time of hiatus.

Yeah, the game looked nice over 15 years ago, but the graphics haven’t updated at all, so the visuals are incredibly dated. Gameplay is still quite solid, though, and the background simulation aspect of the game is still on-par with Elite Dangerous, so I’d say it’s a pretty good choice if someone is looking for a FOSS space sim.

I could care less.

True, but look at it like this:

I already care very little, and but the possibility of caring even less is there.

Tattorack ,

On the basis that it’s Star Trek. But I like I said, I could care less than I already do.

We are living in a cyberpunk dystopia right now. Or the beginnings of one. We’re just missing all the cool and badass stuff from the genre.

Watership Down.

Like, after I saw that movie as a kid, horrible things in other movies didn’t really have an impact. Well… That, and I understood movies were all make-belief. I used to love watching making-of features for movies.

Spam is hard. No real platform has solved it completely, and none ever will. Spammers evolve, platforms catch up, spammers evolve again, and so on until the last post is posted and the last user signs out. Individual spam tactics, however, do tend to have short lives, and while PIB won’t be with us forever, it’s notable that...

Except I can look at Jobs’ history and see an actual progression in technology. With Musk there is literally nothing but nonsensical hyped up promises.

Tattorack ,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Except he didn’t. Jobs progressed technology by essentially bullying engineers into making it a reality. Musk didn’t even put that effort in. He bought companies that were already doing these things

This strongly reminds me of WWII England and their “Carry on!” attitude. Read stories about how families would hide together in the London Underground, and just have casual social conversations with tea and biscuits while the bombs destroyed their homes above their heads.

As an adult, only once ever. Though it’s rather difficult to properly call it poop:

Dysentery. Was homeless. Was thirsty. Drank contaminated water. Ended up shitting transparent slime mixed with blood.

I keep reminding people that this technology was already in development, that Elon and is Neuralink isn’t a unique invention…

Tom Bombadil is a weird character that appears early in the Hobbit’s journey in the first book.

He lives alone in the forest with his wife and lives very carefree, despite potentially being the most powerful entity in all of Middle Earth or Arda in general. The ring has no effect over him, and he didn’t turn invisible when he wore it.

Tom Bombadil is just sort of… A thing that happens. It has no real bearing on the story and contributes to almost nothing. He does save the Hobbits, twice; once from some grumpy tree and once more from some restless dead, but cutting him out entirely doesn’t change the story of The Lord of the Rings in any way, which is why he’s not in the movies.

The only other mention of Tom Bombadil in all three books is Elrond hoping he would’ve accepted his invitation to his Council.

Wasn’t that meant ironically, though? I saw the clip that quote comes from and it really didn’t look like the guy was saying it with a straight face.

I’m pretty sure none of them were convicted for overthrowing governments (yet). So your example is hyperbole.

I do not want to see any of them get any sort of power, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to let myself get riled up over what some dude merely said.

Considering how riled up everyone seems to getting over what was said, I inclined to believe it was said specifically to get a rise out of their opposition.

In other words; you’re being trolled, and they’re having a laugh.

No, the Borg had already been probing the Federation and the Romulan Star Empire before that encounter.

Along the Neutral Zone various Federation and Romulan colonies disappeared, whole cities just scooped right up.

Q’s interference may have caused the Borg to attempt assimilating Earth much earlier than intended, but the Borg were already on their way and they had no idea.

Due to Q’s interference, however, the Federation was made aware of the Borg well before a Cube came on their doorstep.

Can’t wait to start pirating cars.

Those ads in the early 2000s were prophetic. The answer is yes, by the way. Yes I would.

We know so little about the actual process of gender dysphoria. Hormone blockers don’t solve or fix anything, but have been used simply because it’s the only thing that does something. Essentially bringing a blunt instrument to the problem.

Considering the harmful nature of hormone blockers, I’m for not prescribing puberty blockers to youth. However, only so long as more research is put into it.

Tattorack ,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

The person who makes the claim is responsible for backing it up. So yes, if you’re going to make a going you’re going to do all the research.

Asking for the relevant scientific backing is a perfectly reasonable thing to ask.

I take it you have a source you can link to?

I’d rather be able to stream a file from my PC via VLC to other people with VLC.

If that’s already a thing, then I guess I just gotta figure it out…

Tattorack ,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, I know about RTPM, but what I meant was more akin to streaming the file itself.

Take for example, me and my friends want to watch a movie. One of us has the movie. We all have VLC. The one with the movie loads the file, the others… Somehow… Connect to the VLC with the loaded file and have it directly stream to their own VLC.

See, climate activists? This means something. Now please stop throwing tomato soup at Van Goge and Da Vinci.

Not to be that guy

Are y’all actually torrenting Linux ISOs. Cus I recommend. Its way faster and fun to have a collection of like 30 distros and try and new branch of the larger Linux tree. I just assume its a joke but I only started torrenting Linux ISO because of seeing it replied so much lol.

Tattorack ,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

I always torrent large FOSS projects where possible. It’s faster and doesn’t tax the servers of the project.

That’s not piracy, though, so I’m not sure why it’s being talked about here…

I liked the earlier seasons because of this. There was always a language barrier and Daniel had to constantly work out how to communicate with who they were visiting.

If I’m not mistaken, Steam will still keep the games on their servers. Sure, you can no longer buy them, but I’m pretty sure if you own the game you can still access it, and steam keys from the grey market should still work.

Tattorack ,
@Tattorack@lemmy.world avatar

Ok, but like… You’re talking about people who’d waste money on buying a “cyber” truck in the first place. At that point it’s like people buying Apple products; it’s less about having the best possible version of the thing and more about having something from Tesla/Musk.

DuckDuck Go took getting used to for me due to it lacking all the convenient algorithms from Google that… used to in the past… contribute to getting better search results.

The lack of these conveniences is why I switched to DDG years ago in the first place. I realised Google was essentially helping everyone build their own Internet echo chambers and I didn’t want to be part of that.

It does mean you actually need to be good at searching for what you want because DDG is very bad at “guessing”.

Or to put it differently; I call you complaints skill issues. :)

I’ve managed to switch from GNOME to KDE, removing GNOME afterwards, and it was quite painless.

KDE 6 isn’t available yet, though. The first one to get the new KDE is the distro it’s made for, so Arch, I think. Everyone else gotta wait, and it could be a while.
