At this rate I fully expect the democrats to fumble the midterm elections which should be literally the easiest campaign in decades.

Compiz, Wayfire, and KWin all outshine both Windows and MacOS in quality and render performance.

The amount of visual magic in Compiz and Wayfire especially is both incredibly useful but also hilarious.

3D desktop cube is a great way to handle multiple desktops, but rotating your windows to any angle is just to show off to your friends lol.

Saw this on a thread a while back:

The funny and sad thing is I think the original panel was showing American imperialism against historical Nazi facism (soldier attire), so it was very easily repurposed for the next ethnostate of Israel with the Nazi flag being redundant against the very obvious German soldier.

Not making fun of you but I can hear the WB fan typing away at his 90s computer about this lol

Don’t worry, in a few years China will release some comparable and powerful RISC-V processors with some brand new in house fabs.

Although by that point it’ll probably have 300% tariff, so probably stick to TSMC x86 and ARM anyway lol

Dependencies:

Old ass library version from 2004

apt/dnf/pacman: package not found

library package was last available 15 years ago before it was dropped to move to the next legacy version

App package was available right up until last year until it was dropped for development inactivity

Absolutely no one has a compiled version of old ass library

Attempting to compile old ass library results in 30 other old ass package dependencies

How in the actual world was the maintainer compiling this up to last year

First time ever I might actually consider paying for a pirate solution back like the R4 days because someone is actually gonna need the funding to make proper homebrew that will keep up with Nintendo’s DRM, or sell mod chip services to keep up with Nintendo’s DRM. Switch revisions and OLED aren’t even software hackable, or at least no one has discovered any big unpatchable vulnerability like the launch Switch.

And no offense to the talented people who work on Switch hacking, but the CFW and homebrew is honestly pretty basic and lame because everyone has to keep constantly updating for firmware releases and dancing around Nintendo’s own zombified BSD system to coax things just to work.

Suddenly all that crap about team xecutor goes out the window when they offer an OS better than Nintendo, even if their intention was just to make a dedicated hack launcher.

latest innovative mario kart.

This is literally the Cars videogame but with Nintetendo IP and Nintendo Proprietary TCP pos p2p online multiplayer.

I used to play that game for free with my friends at the local library 2 decades ago.

Pay to use hardware button that offers 10 FPS pre-skype era fidelity is totally a good thing to show off, and Nintendo has totally never been the only company to notoriously harass, litigate, and shutdown mods, tournaments, homebrew. emulators, fan projects, and literally anyone who so much as so glances at their Intellectual Property.

Utterly delusional

Some beekeepers actually mentioned that they’ve been scraping the beeswax clean off their hives more frequently because its known that the beeswax collects pesticides and herbicides over time which affects the colony due to exposure.

The problem is its not just monsanto acid, there’s a ton of other issues also correlated like weather/climate, seasonal flowering, untreated parasites, bacteria, etc.

We’ve literally nuked the environment so hard that even if we fix one problem, the population will not make a full bounce back (although I would think monsanto is the biggest threat)

Biggest scam of this century was corporate produce monoliths convincing people Organic was about health and not the fact that it doesn’t use a scorched earth policy and scam one off hybrid plant seeds to grow food which has been setting us up for a widespread fammine for decades.

Some random superweed is gonna crossbreed with some rapid out of control growth plant and wipe out half of the food chain.

OEMs forgot to add hardware support for AV1 because H.265 jumped the gun in an attempt to stay relevant with clout from H.264 lol.

Hey it could be worse. It could be the completely and utterly worthless MIT license.

Federation.

There’s a reason why [email protected] and [email protected] are not federated with eachother, yet lots of users are subscribed to both.

If I understand it correctly, Lemmy has a similar “landed gentry” moderation scheme, where the first to create a community control it. This was easily exploited on other platforms, particularly in regards to astroturfing, censorship, and controlling a narrative.

For lemmy, it’s again a federation thing. You just don’t see many multiple defederated examples due to the small user count.

It’s not the most optimal solution, but it’s still miles better than dealing with single instance or single community issues.

Seriously the funniest thing talking to immigrants in the US is them reminiscing about being able to buy high quality produce, food, tools, clothing, gifts, books, etc by walking down the street or taking a bike a few blocks away. Also people daily taking vans, busses, and trains to get to work or school.

Meanwhile our transport setup is so bad, people have successfully marketed ship to your house meal prep boxes which is actually such an insane first world problem when you think about it.

Lol that handbrake start is utterly useless if you live anywhere that’s actually hilly all over.

You’ve got to learn the proper clutchwork from the very start or you’ll be taking years on every hill.

Unless you’re starting from a cold start on a hill without ABS, I guess it could a safety precaution.

A morbillion javascript frontends, data hoarding middle ends, and another morbillion tracker tags all so you can display 5 sentences of text and a default picture which causes the website to take 5000 years to completely render as you watch Wappalyzer light up like a christmas tree on fire. Use static HTML and CSS ffs, it’s there for a reason.

Modern HTTP is such a horrendous steaming pile of crap that I could honestly spend an entire day talking about the horrible ways we accomplish WWW, with about a solid 70% of it being directly attributed to pos Google.

Dogs are red-green color blind. They see a brighter and less detailed world when compared to humans. Peripheral vision is better than humans (dogs see more of the world), but distance is not judged quite as well. Dogs excel at night vision and the detection of moving objects. Figure 1 is a rough guesstimate of what a dog and human might see when viewing a color band (the electromagnetic spectrum).

Dedicated magic government doesn’t have a standing army or even an official police force branch to ensure public safety, and relies on essentially a band of mercenaries to take down Voldemort.

Twice

Also:

For me it’s always the unexplained power nerfing that authors do just to advance the plot.

Harry Potter in the first 3 books was fearless, he literally took on voldemort with his bare hands.

Then when the dumbass plan with the port key cup happens, he just stands there like an idiot as the rat dude kills Cedric and revives Voldemort as if both he and Cedric don’t have wands that allow them to cast spells.

I mean they could have maybe had like 20 wizards camping the graveyard to make escaping impossible, but nah they really tried to make the coward rat guy seem like he was now somehow more capable than all of voldemort’s previously defeated plans combined.

Windows on steam deck

Explains the behavior lmao
