Anon opines on a clown named Ronald (sh.itjust.works)

[pictured: Ronald Reagan wearing a black suit and tie with a white shirt. His body is nearly turned sideways, chin lifted and grinning at the camera, resting his weight on his right elbow with his left hand clasped loosely over his resting right wrist. Italicized text upon this propaganda poster reads: “RONALD REAGAN speaks...

Ask Justice Garland how that would’ve changed anything.

“How dare you use software on your hardware,” says another worthless gaggle of bastard morons.

Just have Jensen Huang flop his dick out and say CUDA is an anti-competitive tactic. It wouldn’t be less obvious.

EULAs should not exist.

What is a gender neutral replacement for man, guys, buddy, etc?

So I’ve realized that in conversations I’ll use traditional terms for men as general terms for all genders, both singularly and for groups. I always mean it well, but I’ve been thinking that it’s not as inclusive to women/trans people....

Andrew Ryan I don’t think ever even mentions spirituality if I remember.

Stannis was right but an asshole.

Ned was right but an idiot. As were Robb and John.

Sandor had a decent conscience he never fucking listened to.

Brienne always listened to hers and never made a good decision.

Jaime was only an anti-hero.

Mance… probably could’ve left out the cannibals.

And even their worst accusations are ‘It cost five percent of our biggest game’s revenue! It was only a record-breaking success!’

If I had a nickel for every time a 747 lost engines going through volcanic ash and recovered with no fatalities, I would have two nickels.

My favorite part of the AI boom is how all the stupid internal names become public. It moves so fast that there’s no time to rebrand from the dork-ass things engineers come up with.

mindbleach ,

Open Watcom supports a debugging format called DWARF, which I assumed was a ridiculous acronym, until I learned it only works on ELF binaries.

The big one is how there was a programming language called A Programming Language. There is a B programming language, but it’s unrelated, being developed for Multics… Multics being the inspiration for Unix, a joke about castration. The developers of B went on to develop C. C was followed up by the command to increment a variable: C++. Except some interdisciplinary dorks thought it was a musical note and created C#. D is somehow a sequel to both of those.

There’s a reason why-- look. Nicholas Metropolis, namesake of the raytracing method, was sick of mainframe computers with ridiculous acronyms like ENIAC, AVIDAC, and ILLIAC, so he named his university’s new machine MANIAC. Absolutely no-one got the joke. All computer scientists are broken in the same peculiar way, and it is impossible to satirize how stupid we get when asked to name a thing.

mindbleach ,

Though there was a programming language called A Programming Language. Not the A programming language. A Programming Language.

mindbleach ,

Yes, A Programming Language.

Apple (slrpnk.net)

I don’t care if anyone has a Xiaomi, Oneplus, Samsung, etc. Each brand is using a modified version of Android, and they chose to be compatible with each other. But for example the “blue vs green bubble” drama is a thing specifically because of Apple locking their unsuspecting users into a closed ecosystem. And it sure...

mindbleach ,

Or tell them “Apple shouldn’t restrict users like this” and suddenly “It’s their platform!”

Nah dude. It’s your phone. That’s what the money was for.

WAP really is fucking incredible, even for people with no contemporary exposure to the genre. You can come to it fresh as a newborn child and the punchlines still land.

Adele’s “Send My Love (To Your New Lover).” The 2010s answer to Alanis’s “You Oughtta Know.” Honestly, the 21st-century answer to Fleetwood Mac’s “Dreams.”

It’d be admirable in Halo or Destiny. In real life? Yeesh.

This is the company that made the P90. The F2000 is 20% longer than needed in any two directions.

// I am responsible for every byte of this code and still don’t know why this line breaks everything.

All the ideas are good.

Only the ideas are good.

Tabs exist specifically for spacing out stops. They’re viewer-configurable, avoiding holy wars about 4 or 8 or that one idiot suggesting 3.

I do not give a shit if your seventeen-argument function has the overflow variables line up exactly with the paren. Just put them one step further in.

mindbleach ,

I just remembered the dumbest argument I’ve ever suffered about this - someone insisting the “length” of one tab changed, depending on what’s before it. As in, is it eight spaces, or seven? Or six! It only goes up to eight spaces! No. It goes one stop. The same way a newline goes one line, and cannot by measured by how many times you’d slap the spacebar to get text to wrap around to the next line.

mindbleach ,

Yeah? Such a dick about it, Nintendo. Your platform is not special and people will run software however they please.

Emulation is legal. Emulation will remain legal. If you can’t deal with it except through courtroom bullying, may devs should look into SLAPP defenses.

mindbleach ,

console manufacturers might start slapping DRM into their consoles

… start?

mindbleach ,

Nintendo is a toy company. They sell plastic. For the last thirty-odd years, video games have been their primary means of doing so.

$200M is still big ocean house money. $200B is buying politicians money. The difference is about $200B.

mindbleach ,

Have we tried crowdfunding that?

Unlike the cost of ocean-front housing, they’re not listed.

“Why do they use” is a question. “Why they use” is an explanation.

Downvote all you like, I’m gonna keep correcting people who make this mistake.

mindbleach ,

I meant exactly what I said, and it is grammatically-correct casual English. Unlike ‘why in sci-fi they use Navy ranks?’ Or any of the hundred other ‘how to fix problem?’ examples I’ve seen, over the last decade.

This is a growing error and I am doing the bare minimum to help people stop making it. I’d understand if you find it overly prescriptivist. I’d understand if my phrasing was somehow impolite or unhelpful. But I have nothing kind to say about people mocking the effort.

mindbleach ,

When the missing word is do, I am unmoved by concerns about space.

I bet I could get Tetris Attack on that thing.

Oh right, this instance’s hot takes are going to be complete nonsense. ‘The tortured opposition leader wasn’t perfect, you guys!’ No kidding. He still gets partial credit for sticking his neck out against a dictator-for-life who routinely murders opposition leaders. Everyone you’d prefer is already fucking dead.

mindbleach ,

But telling you where to shove it would be uncivil.

The funniest thing I’ve seen on Lemmy was someone insisting socialism is pragmatic and liberals are idealists, because it comes to mind every single god-dang time one of y’all shits all over opposition to outright dictatorship. So long as the dictator is from a country you insist was actually state-capitalist - the real evil is anyone fighting brutal profiteering autocracy, unless they’re ideologically pure.

mindbleach ,

Everyone who’s not ideologically pure is literally Hitler. You figured out politics and it’s super simple, good job.

Any liberals the resistance movements against Hitler were literally Hitler.

Nobody but your special favorite friends are allowed to oppose a warmongering autocrat currently in power over an invading army.
