  • Don’t kid yourself. Reddit was valuable to pretty much all of you or else you wouldn’t continuously shitpost about it.

    Also I know you’re a former redditor because you’re parroting the same tired-ass old line that is top comment on every thread about something bad happening to someone or some thing they don’t like. Get some new material.

    EDIT: Speaking of getting new material, I should try not to be as snarky. Get the alien out of your head, my man. We don't need to do that to entertain ourselves anymore. I apologize to @errer@lemmy.world, and I take that shit back. I hope you got a laugh out of it as intended, even though there was no real way to tell it was supposed to be a bit cheeky.

    It did still frustrate me to see all that knowledge just hand-waved like what happened was no big deal. I guess "couldn't have happened to a nicer boardroom" or something would have clicked better lol but I'd imagine we're probably on the same page about it at the end of the day.

    Anyway, let's all be cool, Lemmy fucking rocks, we're nice here, save the sarcasm for mocking actual malice instead of eating each other. I'll try to be better.

  • Isn’t Hexbear the ex-ChapoTrapHouse subreddit that started their own sub with blackjack and hookers?

    I.e. they created (and, importantly, modified) their own Lemmy instance. And, supposedly, they’re working to fix what they broke, so they can rejoin with the larger fediverse without losing their content?

    So before we wax paranoid about the intentions of lemmyworld admins, shouldn’t we consider that this might just be a temporary measure to prevent technical issues while they bring their fixes into production?

    Let’s just wait until LW admins make their announcement before we pass judgement. I fully agree there is no political reason to defederate from them. I don’t know if their community is problematic but everything I’ve heard would suggest otherwise. And I do not know the timeframe or technical details of their supposed plan to refederate. So again, while I agree with you, I think perhaps it is a bit early for speeches.

  • For the people who use their Switch as a portable, An OLED is an extremely nice upgrade over an LCD screen. The response times, the color clarity, and the versatility in a wide range of lighting conditions is a great feature.

    But yeah, if you just play at home in the living room, who cares.

  • It’s the same crowd that’s like “Elon Musk must be a GENIUS because he’s RICH. What have YOU done?”

  • The Tower of Power? Psssh, witness my Fortress of Solitude

  • I think in this case, "banned" is referring to "paying workers below minimum hourly wage because they're expected to make up the difference by convincing our patrons to generously donate +20% of their dinner bill", not "citizens will be fined/incarcerated if they give someone money of their own free will"

  • He mentioned it to the other drivers in the cooldown room too, and they agreed. I guess after the rain the wind really was a big factor.

  • And, if you’ve reached Gopher Ted, you might respond with “Go for Gopher Ted”

    Roger, Roger! What’s our vector, Victor?

    Tower to radio clearance, over!

    That’s Clarance Over!

    What? Huh? Who?!?

  • Pedantic correction: you only get one answer from a single guard. You can't ask both for an answer, even if they're both within earshot.

  • psshh Olive Oyl wants her neck back

  • Is there anywhere I can watch the race? I have Fubo and their DVR sucks and when schedules change it doesn’t change the recording time. I got an hour of college football and SportsCenter 😖

  • I also notice that the job you apply for seems to be a different value than what is displayed on the page. Seems like the documentation needs updating as well 😔

  • fascist

    Marxist/ Communist

    Those two things are opposites…you buzzword concern troll

  • Nintendo would have solidified the design and specs of the SoC and committed to a bulk contract for them just before we saw some big leaps in hardware; specifically in GPU and ARM SoCs, memory bandwidth and PCIe bus performance, and chip die resolution.

    Think about where mobile processors were in 2014; it’s been almost 9 years. Think about where Apple silicon is now (also an ARM SoC platform). We’re truly “living in the future”.

    Since the products were already in consumer hands as these innovations where happening, it was too late to change anything. It’s a rock and a hard place; especially for Nintendo who caters to so many casual enjoyers - if you upgrade the hardware, you’re gonna need to do another launch. The alternative would be that people with older switches wouldn’t be able to run newer games. You also don’t want to anger your customers by saying “remember that $400 you spent 3 years ago? Yeah you’re gonna need to go ahead and give us another $400”. Additionally, if they had done that, we’d probably be complaining about THAT machine being underpowered now. The Switch was selling like hotcakes regardless, they weren’t going to disrupt that revenue. Money talks and the world told Nintendo what they wanted, whether they meant to or not.

    Now that even 1st party titles are struggling on the system, the writing is on the wall, the tech has improved massively, and consumers are warming to the idea of a new console, it makes sense that Nintendo would have been doing the legwork to be at the point when suppliers are leaking info, when investor calls subtly reveal dates when at a minimum we’ll get our first official info, etc. I bet they’ll start shipping dev kits in the fall (if they haven’t already) if all this info is accurate.

  • I think it would need to be a patent, not a copyright. Also, Hall effect sensors were in use before someone decided to put them into a joystick. I would hope that “use the thing for which it was designed” isn’t patentable but, knowing the USPTO when it comes to technology…

  • Doesn’t moving to out of the spam folder tell it?

  • the modern history of megacorps is not exactly a shining beacon of benevolence to the ppl

    I mean, yes, agreed. But why does anyone think that that’s ok?

  • Hey, I don’t have any information about Indonesia specifically; all I’m saying is that if you ask someone if the country they live in is fascist, you’ll get one of three “no”s:

    1. They’ll say no, because it isn’t.
    2. They’ll say no, because it is but they like it, and they know what a bad connotation the word has.
    3. They’ll say no, because it is and they don’t like it, but they know what a ban connotation the word has and they don’t want to be locked up for it.
  • k8s have a steep learning curve comparatively. With Docker you just install the Docker package and it’s off to the races. With k8s you need to know basically how Docker works, know how the layers it adds on top work, and define everything using YAML config files to get things up and running. The networking is complicated (but flexible), the storage isn’t straightforward (it’s designed to work with large-scale solutions like S3 or Ceph, so setting it up even for local “folder” storage requires more moving parts). Even bootstrapping a new installation requires many steps to install all the pieces you need.

    Don’t get me wrong it’s awesome, but if you don’t already know it, it doesn’t have many advantages for small installations over Docker which is very much “run docker-compose on this file you downloaded and the thing you want sets itself up”.

    While there are tools like Helm or Portainer to assist you, you still have to understand it to make it work.

  • Can’t the newer ones take off and land as well?
