Hershey’s does not taste like shit.

It tastes like vomit. Get your facts straight.

It’s like DVDs. DVDs looked great in 2002, compared to VHS or even broadcast TV, your new 32 inch “big screen” never looked as good playing a DVD over S-video. That same DVD in that same player attached by HDMI to a 45 inch 4k LCD looks grainy and horrid.

I think you’ll find that community is exactly that. I forget which it is, I’ve long since blocked it.

It’s been a whole lot easier since bitch left town…

They’re imagining the community (the subreddit) as a space one enters by navigating to the community’s main page, and “leaving” it is going to do other things.

A major difference I noticed with Lemmy from my time on Reddit is communities aren’t quite as rabid about strict adherence to their topic or gimmick. r/whatisthisthing banned me for seven days once for elaborating what an E6B flight computer is for. Because “This community is for IDENTIFYING the thing, not DISCUSSING the thing!” Not…so much of that around here.

I suspect getting pissed off is the point.

One of the rules of that community is “post before you leave.” People put “rule” in the post to indicate they’re complying with that rule.

My cat walking back and forth across my pillow wanting food, the selfish little quadruped.

I somehow doubt that.

My last desktop PC has been retasked as an HTPC. The CPU in it requires a graphics card for the system to POST, it’s currently mounted in a SFF case with barely room for two 2.5" drives, so it would either make for a shitty, difficult to service, bulky for what it does, power inefficient NAS, or I’d have to buy a new case and CPU.

My current machine is in an mATX mini-tower, there’s room for hard disks and the 7700X has integrated graphics so I could haul the GPU out, but it’s still kind of bulky for what you’d get.

So I’m gonna keep my Synology in service for a little while longer, then build a NAS from scratch selecting components that would be good for that purpose.

Do NOT mention Nicole.

It is my understanding that this is a byproduct of Google’s company culture. Google hires software engineers, they’re incentivized to invent something of their own. They do so. They get promoted. There isn’t room in their company structure for anything to be maintained, maintaining someone else’s project isn’t a path to promotion. So Play Wallet is now Android Pay is now Google Pay is being sunset.

Oh, and Google is an American corporation, so anything that doesn’t promise infinite exponential growth in revenue or unprecedented opportunities for cruelty is shot in the head as worthless.

Those are where the money comes from, re adsense. Remember, Google is a B2B company, they sell public attention to advertisers.

I have a flashlight in my pocket.

Or would they demand it in Go? Or have they abandoned that?

Or installing software the Windows way: google “something doer” and click the second link, find the Download page and then click yes when it asks “Allow Sworn Enemies Of Democracy to make changes on this computer?”

I begrudgingly prefer AppImage to being told to make make install, at this point. You know those little projects that will never go into a standard repo or flatpak. For example, some ham radios used a converter box that hooked up to a Windows 95 PC via serial so you could program its internal memory. Well, none of that shit exists anymore. so some guy somewhere has written a thing to do it with a Raspberry Pi’s GPIO. 444 people in the world will ever download and use this software. I’d rather you AppImage that than tell me to git clone make make install.

I think they broke up.

I am in the final stages of building two PCs for relatives of mine, and I don’t think I did so an hour too soon. I watched RAM double in price the day after I bought it.

If you want to do anything of any scale with Python, you need to understand OOP because that’s how modules work, but you can use it without.
