I’m criticizing you because you were being condescending earlier. Now you’re being ableist.

rent a dvd instead

I disagree, but I could see it being difficult for some folks with thumb problems.

I had this cool PS2 controller that let you swap the positions of the d pad, analog sticks, and buttons. So you could make it like the Xbox layout, left analog on top left and dpad on bottom left. It’d be nice if more stuff like that was a thing. Though I think most consoles have pretty good accessibility settings now and let you do stuff like that (though not as dramatic as moving hardware of course). It could even adjust the tension in the sticks by twisting em.

Elden ring would consistently get ~20 fps on my old computer which I would say had a potato CPU and a good graphics card.

I still don’t get how they ever approved this design.

Disclaimer: I am not a rust developer, but I am a professional developer with over ten years experience.

I think folks telling you things like “you should learn X language before Y language” are not giving you the best advice. I often understand their arguments. The advice is typically “don’t learn X high level language before Y low level one.” But if we need to start lower, where would that advice end? Must someone really understand transistors before writing hello world in Python? No! Absolutely not.

Learning any programming language will make you better at all programming languages. There is no perfect starting place. There is no bad starting place.

Think about it like this. Someone tells you before learning to drive a car with automatic transmission you should learn manual. They say it’ll make you appreciate the automatic transmission.ore and that it’s easier to go from manual to automatic than from automatic to manual. Well, a more relevant question is do you plan to ever drive a manual on a normal basis. If the answer is no, you don’t plan on ever using it apart from learning how to, why bother? If you ever need to learn it, you can learn it. You’ll be better at driving by then and can focus on shifting gears without having to struggle to also focus on all the rest of the driving things you do (like staying in the lane, going the right speed not hitting people, etc.)

If you only want to learn C just so you better appreciate things in other languages, don’t bother. Learn the language you want to use. If you want to use C, go for it! There’s nothing wrong with it. A lot of folks want to learn both Rust and C because they want to learn both and stick their toes in everything. That’s fine too! Just don’t feel obligated because you think it’s the best way forward.

I want you to go search “is Redbox still in business?”

I FINALLY convinced my wife to use Firefox with uBlock on their phone. We had a YouTube Premium trial for something (I think so we could play some vids at a party without ads) and they loved not seeing the ads. I kept telling them “you know, if you use Firefox in your phone with the uBlock extension to watch YouTube instead of the YouTube app you just won’t get any ads, right? Also it can play videos while the phone is locked.” This finally convinced them to try it for their podcasts.

Why would you not be a fan of your own character? 🥺 You should play characters you like!

But snap bad

That length sock is better than the one for Ubuntu in my head though. So win win.

Raw potatoes making humans sick wouldn’t necessarily mean they make cows sick. E.g., plenty of animals can eat raw meat but as humans we need to cook it to be safe.

Oooh if you want the actual look with an animal sketch, do one of that orangutan trying to use a hammer and nails.

In the mean time you can use AdGuard’s public DNS. They try to bury it because they offer paid things as well but they do have just a normal, public, ad-blocking DNS you can use.

Nah, tbh I was just making a meme because I remember folks used to joke about struts. I haven’t played in a long time. I remember thinking about all that a bit. If you’re having fun, you’re playing right. 💜

I have been playing Satisfactory lately. I’ve tried making some layouts intentionally bad just to try new stuff and see how it works.

Hobbles

In my testing, by copying the claimed ‘prompt’ from the article into Google Translate, it simply translated the command. You can try it yourself.

So, the source of everything that kicked off the entire article, is ‘Some guy on Tumblr’ vouching for an experiment, which we can all easily try and fail to replicate.

Bluesky has features to mark your content as graphic, though.

I haven’t heard of anyone using Soucehut. (I guess Soucehut itself counts though.)
