It's already too late since World War II already happened. Donald Trump tried his best but World War II happened. We could keep warning people about Biden but unfortunately he will enter the time machine anyway and tell young aspiring artist Adolf Hitler that his art isn't that good. He will have tried to tell Adolf in the nicest way possible to ensure that Adolf won't take this wrong. Perhaps he will have tried to encourage Adolf to keep pursuing art as a hobby and maybe try studying art again later. But the fact that World War II happened shows that nothing that Biden will have tried has worked.

That's not a compliment to Electron, that's a heck of an indictment to Microsoft messing up the File Manager.

If a fancy text editor starts eating hundreds of megabytes RAM without having loaded a file, i think we did something wrong.

Though Visual Studio can do that too without Electron.

Electron IS a browser. It's a Chromium browser to be exact with all the Chromium UI elements except the very bare minimum removed.

So the only difference that remains is running a website in a tab or in a fancy window.

chroot! chroot! chroot!

Technology is really awesome! We managed to squeeze really fast PCs into the size of a Nintendo Switch. Or even a Switch Lite in case of the Ayaneo Air 1S. We could make small PCs before but they used to lag far behind desktop PCs or laptops. Although the super small VAIOs were nevertheless cool.

But now Bethesda's Starfield is out there and PCs such as Steam Deck can keep up. Maybe not with full detail but running AAA games on such compact hardware was unthinkable back then. You couldn't take the original Crysis and put it on a super small VAIO and expect it to even remotely keep up. Later UMPCs got stronger ofc but still lagged far behind their bigger siblings. It took us until GPD released the Win 2 to get an Ultrabook processor instead of using weak tablet processors or worse. Nowadays GPD and competitors use AMD APUs which allow us to actually catch up with laptops and PCs. Still not the same as using dedicated graphics but it's still really good. VR runs okay too and if performance scales just as much over the next years, i think that we can run VR off handheld PCs with AMD really well in about 3 years.

Kid from a lithium mine: "Excuse me ma'am, can you give me something to eat? My boss told me that i can't get food because i haven't mined 10 kilograms of lithium today."

Me: "NO, I'M PLAYING STARFIELD! WITH ONLY 30 FPS MIND YOU!" (kicks child to the ground)

Me: "Gotta love modern technology!"

I totally understand you, Private. I recently dreamed of a nuclear bomb ending a world war, then everything using nuclear power and then a new war starting because of scarcity. That dream was weird but the floating ball shaped robots and the nuclear powered armor looked cool.

Tom Riddle: "Your parseltongue won't help you now!"

Harry Potter: "I know what does: Cockney!"

Tom Riddle: "what"

Harry Potter: "Oi, snake! I see you've been trapped in the canal for years now! Why don't we bugger off from here for tea time?"

Snake: "Oh my, this is a fortunate turn of events! I can't wait for a cup of wonderful Earl Grey!"

Software developer. Some software would break down immediately, some would break down over time.

We don't know when everything will have broken down. That's where the fun lies 😈

1. People have enough RAM.
2. Developers see people getting more RAM.
3. Developers allow their software to use more RAM (either by doing more cool stuff or optimizing less stuff).
4. People have little RAM.
5. People buy more RAM.
6. goto 1;

This also applies to CPU and GPU.

Shootings do not happen in a vacuum. They happen due to external factors such as political or religious radicalization or "just" bullying. This does not absolve the shooter of the responsibility of course since the response to, let's say, the Great Replacement Theory lies in the hands of the shooter. The shooter could have not shot non-white people.

But then we have the people spreading the Great Replacement Theory. The people that tell their audience day in and day out that if they are not careful, there may be no whites anymore. If you keep hearing this or other racist shit day in and day out for many many many years and do not trust another source of information because the same people tell you that the other media is corrupt... You're bound to turn "crazy" one way or another.

There's probably even more nuance but my point is: We really shouldn't let the people turning responsible gun owners into shooters through propaganda just get away with it, should we?

Especially in the right wing where this is a known tactic. They radicalize people and if something goes awry, they just disavow it. The right wing pundits disavowed the Jan 6 rioters they themselves "inspired" to fight for democracy. They disavowed the Club Q shooter they themselves "warned" about trans people.

Too bad they don't own anti-aircraft weapons!

Hi, i'm Saul Goodman and did you know that you have rights? The constitution says so and so do i.

Perhaps LineageOS could help. Or GrapheneOS.

I would be fine with the latter option if letting nature run its course didn't involve a side of "vulnerable people getting affected"

Well you see, the quran teaches evil and radicalizes children (teaches rules, changing between positive and negative tone, kinda outdated but some generic stuff still applies today) while the bible teaches us how god loves us (teaching overlapping with the quran, different writing though and yahwee is definitely not nice)

I hope her creative resistance doesn't get incorporated as part of the brand of her workplace.

EDIT: To the downvoters:

Brands have begun to incorporate some imperfections into their marketing. For example the Deutsche Bahn, our german railway company, are sometimes making jokes about how their trains are notoriously late. Are they making their service better? No. Or not noticeably so far. I think McDonalds have also made jokes about their broken soft ice machines and they did not do anything to make them more reliable. According to iFixit, they and the company making the machines have actively fought against a small company that wanted to make a tool to making fixing these machines easier.

So that's why i hope that our wig-wearing heroine doesn't just get incorporated into the marketing instead of being allowed to show her pink hair.

My copy of Sims Castaway Stories and my multi-disc games like SimCity 4 and Need for Speed Underground 2 beg to differ.

Occasional memes about the internet curfew. And less multiplayer-only games.

I personally invert the axes in third person scenarios because the camera moves around the character and i want to move the camera.

Within first person shooters i don't because i move the camera/head to where i want to look.
