Literally came here to make this same joke, lmao. Great minds, and all.

I forgot to bring any weed but there’s a gang of oddish out front

It’s matching the pattern of unchecked unpunished corporate greed

Chad mod action

I’m one of the biggest Rowling haters you’ll ever meet but I agree with this comment in its entirety

I’ve got a corsair rainbow barfer and I also had to install its control program manually. Mileage probably varies by manufacturer, most likely.

This case was likely relented on specifically because it is a nonimportant issue that doesn’t hit anyone relevant in the pocketbook.

When you protest about real issues is when the violence happens.

I cannot imagine the amount of cocaine that went into the creation of this document. This is art.

Mage first, Warrior second. I don’t usually play rogues.

Many settings can let you pull off some sort of magical warrior, but some very special settings can also let you pull off the Muscle Wizard and it’s my very favorite archetype when it’s viable.

Wouldn’t matter if they’re never in there anyway

One of my old coworkers at a previous job, I forget the exact context, but when he was asked to do something:

“Hey [Name], can you get this done?”

“Can the Pope’s dick fit through a donut?”

“… I don’t know?”

“Exactly 😎 👉 👉”

So this fine is being paid to… The French government?

Look, I’m all for trying to punish the corporation for bad practices, but that money should be distributed to the people impacted by those practices, i.e. Joycon owners. Not disappear into the pockets of a regulatory board who had largely nothing to do with this situation and just sees an easy opportunity to profit.

Then you did not speak with programmers regularly, I learned this term probably back in 2008ish

5-10 years ago, you could be pretty sure this was a thing that actually needed checked, since the post about the clutch safety switch was posted by a real person who presumably had the same problem as you and fixed it with this method.

Now, there’s no way to know if that’s actually the case, or if “clutch safety switch” is just a likely string of words to feed someone who is having car trouble. You might get lucky, or you might get sent on eight consecutive goose chases because an LLM fundamentally doesn’t know what factual knowledge is, it only knows how to reorder and regurgitate things that other people have said in other contexts.

GI,GO only matters if people actually stop buying your garbage. It’s becoming pretty overwhelmingly obvious that most people are going to continue buying the garbage no matter how garbage it is, therefore, this is technically cost effective.

I literally cannot count the number of times I’ve had to dick around with Windows’ command line to make something work. Not to mention registry editing.

Greater than 90% of all Linux software I’ve ever installed has also been as simple as “just install the thing and click Run”. Building a project from source is different, I still struggle with that (anybody want to help me build Ardour?) but that’s a fairly rare necessity, at least for me.

At the very least, fascism, pandemics and gambling are nothing new.

It’s not.

You have an account on a server (instance). That server has an administrator. I have an account on a different server, which has a different administrator. We can speak to each other in the middle from these two separate servers, via federation protocols.

The administrator(s) on your server are loud and proud authoritarians and frequently silence any discussion of general resistance, among other topics that they don’t like. This is not a personal failure on your part; there’s not much way to know about it except to be told or to inspect the mod logs yourself. Now that you’ve been told, though, you have the opportunity to move to a server that actually respects your right to speak on the internet.

Or you may elect to stay on LW and be banned or censored without warning, and be lightly associated with auth-left idiots for anyone who knows what the LW admins are like. That is a choice that can be made.

If you are going to make a move, I’ll warn you that .ml is known for similar. Just about most anywhere else is hosted by sane people, frequently as independent projects, even more frequently as a direct response to LW and ML’s dumbfuckery.

I read Dresden Files for the first time within the last 18 months and I’ve been relentlessly shilling it to everyone ever since. I’ve been a bookworm my entire life and it’s probably my favorite series I’ve ever read, ever. It fucking slaps, it’s SO good.

I don’t feel valued because I bring no value to anyone in my life. Internet strangers asking questions do not count into that lol

Well, sure it does. That’s the reason we’re all here, isn’t it? Maybe not for you in particular, but for the Lemmy community. Internet strangers asking questions that you then answer and spark discussion is kind of THE value that any of us bring to this place. People asking questions and having discussions and sharing their own perspectives and life experiences is like, 80% of the whole internet. It’s what brought us into the global awareness that we have today.

Thank you, this is the first time I’ve ever actually seen the fork bomb described in a way that makes sense. I knew what it did but I didn’t understand how the input string caused it, it was effectively just a magic rune of crashing to me. This is a great explanation.
