The only thing I grew at home (in a pot, because dogs) was chili, because it’s more scarce in stores than stuff like onions. Some do fear that the store ones are all “GMO” secretly, or even manufactured from some petroleum products, like my stepmother, who once learned that things like milk powder, egg powder, and meat powder exists, but she thought they all weren’t made of the real things, because she couldn’t believe the Earth could feed this many people, and the rich hoard all the good stuff for themselves.

There’s also jailbreaking the AI. If you happen to work for a trollfarm, you have to be up to date with the newest words to bypass its community guidelines to make it “disprove” anyone left of Mussolini.

ZILtoid1991 ,

And OOP in general. I also used to be infamous for such things, then I started to shorten the names, including using letters that are obvious to the user (e.g. int w, h; for width and height).

ZILtoid1991 ,

Why is multiple levels of indentation bad?

IDK, but if the reason is “to break stuff into multiple functions”, then I’m not necessarily writing yet another single-use function just to avoid writing a comment, especially in time critical applications. Did that with a text parser that could get text formatting from a specifically written XML file, but mainly due to it being way less time critical, and had a lot of reused code via templates.

Will the AI trained on it be hostile towards your question, if:

  • you ask help in an unpopular language,
  • there’s already a janky and bloated middleware that does the same thing poorly?
ZILtoid1991 ,

Now it’s being trained on Stackoverflow, consider those days to be over.

Q: Hey ChatGPT, I have issues with RAWINPUT under Windows, how do I fix it? [Insert code here]

A: You dumdum, I see you’re using the language D, which is for cucks. Real alpha programmers use C++, as they don’t need things like memory safety (skill issue lol), and can afford multiple monitors because C++ still thinks we still only have a few megabytes of compiler memory available, so programmers still can see the header files. Want to still develop in an easier language for shits and giggles? Javascript, so your friends don’t have to deal with .exe files (evil), and the web is the future anyways.

Regardless of that, there’s already a C++ library that can handle input for Windows and many other operating systems. Oh, it uses DirectInput 8? Well, who cares, don’t be picky, or just stop programming altogether, and leave it to the professionals. [place for a lowtiergod meme, but with the text “you should quit programming now”]

ZILtoid1991 OP ,

Be glad it was your keyboard getting it and not you…

ZILtoid1991 OP ,

That would turn your desktop into a surgical bed.

I once managed to find a pretty good alternative, but then I forgot its name. It was a very chill community unlike what Stackoverflow was recently with it’s toxicity (properly formatted question police, people being offended for less popular languages, etc.).

ZILtoid1991 ,

I have a feeling that A.A. Milne might just wanted to call a character the N-word, then first had a dream about how badly it aged, then in a second one how far racist gamers can go to say at least a “censored” version of it online.

Domestication has many unwanted side effects. The experiments with domesticated foxes had their ears no longer be pointy as time progressed.

Doing a quick read up on Wikipedia, my memoories on Egyptian mummies’ brains getting removed was correct. That alone would mean the best they could achieve is cloning, without any memory retention.

Sodium is a dangerous explosive, choride is a poisonous gas, yet we put the mixture of two into our food.

Raise awareness of sodium-cloride!

ZILtoid1991 ,

The greater issue is, racists like to sell their bigotry as rational, all while claim “real racism” is an irrational hatred of other races.

This way, they can just show a few statistics to justify their bigotry, but claim “anti-white racism” is real racism.

ZILtoid1991 ,

Then you realize your code is undebuggable because half the functions and variables have single-letter names or called foo, bar, baz, etc.

Issue with the US is that HFCS is heavily subsidized, and thus added to everything.

ZILtoid1991 ,

I had to learn that the hard way, but with a comic/manga idea I used to have.

Long story short: I worked way too long on an idea (almost 10 years), all while my taste etc. changed. It would have been way too hard to get it working after a while without a complete revamp of the whole idea, so I ditched it completely, maybe reuse elements and character concepts in other things, including video games (yes, they’re easier to make, unless your comic’s artstyle is stickmen figures).

ZILtoid1991 ,

Funny thing is, it’s actually not that hard to get additional volunteers for an ongoing project if you’re competent enough, only recent issues are YanDev messing up a lot of things (both his game and life) which might create some skepticism towards indie devs looking for such volunteering, and people not understanding how solo indie development works and fetishizing successes without truly understanding them.

QPU is a legit name for Quad Processing Unit, which is used as shaders in Broadcom’s Videocore line of products.

ZILtoid1991 ,

I have an amputee kink (especially for quadruple amputees) and stumps don’t always look like that, often they thin out with time.

Luck. The one that was formed by former English Nijisanji managers went immediately bankrupt, and also had dire consequences to Nijisanji itself (which also tried to step into NFTs at one point if it wasn’t for the talents) as those managers were now missing from the company.

Basically if you were lucky and able to sell your NFTs for a hyperinflated price to be used in money-laundering schemes while you also profiting off of them on every transaction. If not, then your life savings were wasted on some crappy commissions.

Notepad is the one that does things like that, because they want you to only use it for *.txt files. VSCode does not have issues like that.

ZILtoid1991 ,

I’ve seen people deleting those ugly *.exes and *.mp3s from their files. Hopefully they learned to not to, but I’ve heard cases who didn’t.

ZILtoid1991 ,

Noob question: Could someone make e.g. an executable linkin park - numb.mp3 file on Linux by giving it execute permissions? Probably not by downloading, but by replacing the file with a duped one.

Also the .mp3.exe trick and the likes could be easily detected by any security software easily, like Windows Defender.

ZILtoid1991 ,

I use XML as markup language, what kind of deranged person thought to turn it into a programming language? My problems with the Lua API led me down the rabbit hole of making my own VM and implementation, not looking at a markup languge, then go “what if I used this for scripting?”.

ZILtoid1991 ,

I hope it won’t turn into “weaponized doomerism” like in Eastern European countries like Hungary and Russia.

In Hungary, a lot of people just gave up altogether, and stopped voting. It’s also often being used to get people to become Fidesz supporters.

Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App (lemmy.world)

See, it turns out that the Rabbit R1 seems to run Android under the hood and the entire interface users interact with is powered by a single Android app. A tipster shared the Rabbit R1’s launcher APK with us, and with a bit of tinkering, we managed to install it on an Android phone, specifically a Pixel 6a....

Note that this is mostly due to the closed source drivers and nonexistent Linux support for smaller SoCs. Some manufacturers are quite good in that front (e.g. Broadcom/Raspberry Pi, Rockchip), with others you’re lucky if they allow you to use Linux at all, with no GPU drivers (which you often have to pirate the binaries, thanks ARM for making Mali a completely closed source project from its open source origins).

Apparently Edison wasn’t even the first historical tech bro, but some French dude that eventually killed himself with his “own” invention. And the very first modern techbro was Steve Jobs, who gets cited more and more often as an influence as Elongated Muskrat is becoming more and more far-right.

ZILtoid1991 ,

Jobs was the same ilk, he just had better optics at that time. If he lived today, he’d sell out to whatever party they let him to outsource the manufacturing (and coding) to the cheapest possible country. Maybe he’d even double down on the whole AI thing.

ZILtoid1991 ,

I want to create a JSON parser called JSON-X.

Issue is, I don’t think even the current competition is helping them to get better, if they became smaller for some reason they’d just go back to their active sabotage days.

What I’d think would help to actually wither Microsoft’s monopoly in addition of breaking it up is forcing them to open source Windows, thus taking their main leverage on the market. Windows would be a good (not great) OS if it wasn’t for MS and its shareholders trying to monetize it as much as possible, and trying to make all computers like what the Junkman had in the Superhero Team vs. Genocidal Purple Guy Part 3.

ZILtoid1991 ,

The end goal of the right is to do away with all the subtlety they have to do now, so the general population will just follow all their commands without any talkbacks, like “a good chiild does it to the words of their parents”. (Viktor Orbán allegedly said that the average voter is on the mentality of a 12 year old child.)

“But Jack Posobiec told me in 2017 on Twitter, that Net Neutrality was when they deleted my hatespeech on social media.”

(Yes, people were that dumb, and I got called “anti free speech” around that time every time I mentioned net neutrality being a good thing.)

I want to have like 10-20 testicles, which means I would be even manlier.

The only thing that goes wrong is the main protagonist gets pushed into a large pile of poo, in front of their love interest.

What do I do to make it look like an old-school UI?

The party of “we just want to outlaw third semester abortions and abortions used in place of birth control” wants to outlaw medical emergency abortions too…

Not websites, but some people ask it to use their applications/games, that turn out to be viruses.

I used to have it on my Raspberry Pi to test some shady files. Besides of the Linux thing, they’d also need to get around the fact I was running things on AArch64, which is a rare combination. Maybe Windows on AArch64 would have been an even safer choice.

With that, you could sue Google and other companies pushing anti-adblocker tech for discrimination, just bring up all the cases when the supreme court sided with cristofascists to oppress other people.

ZILtoid1991 ,

I often disable my adblocker on sites of smaller and more independent news companies, if they don’t run Google ads (I’ve heard them getting dropped in countries like Hungary and Russia for obvious reasons).
