The best part about that dumb fucking font? It’s like one of the absolute defaults you choose if you just like, need something embroidered. They likely chose it because they wouldn’t have to pay an artist for the design. Just: “Get me 10,000,000 of your cheapest hats and put my dumb fucking slogan as big as it will fit across the front.”

“Ugh. I’m tired. Work sucked. Computer, make dinner.”

My real answer in anything because you could split a car up over multiple days just like the 3D printed Lamborghini.

I certainly don’t blame them for these pitfalls I don’t think it’s laziness. It’s 100% a lack of education. Teachers have all but given up trying to get kids to pay attention in class. It’s become a snowball effect.

When I was in school, most of my classmates took it seriously and took much of the education at face value. And almost all of my classmates are people that could handle the full Office suite.

Now it seems every kid thinks they already know computers because they started with an iPad at the age of 4, but what they don’t realize is phones and tablets are the equivalent to toys.

You don’t ever actually learn how to use a phone. Just individual apps. People don’t even really browse the internet blindly anymore.

I think it’s probably the difference that a lot of boomers probably saw with cars in the 2000s-2010s. It used to be everyone had a rough idea of how a car worked and most people could learn in a year or two how to do basic stuff.

Now it’s all a closed magic box requiring a full technical degree. Phones fell the same. Its a magic box that they never had the opportunity to wonder how it worked.

I’d imagine any company open-sourcing their code has to go through a pretty decent amount of re-written routines. Nvidia has been open-sourcing their drivers, but it’s been taking forever. I can only imagine how complex commenting GPU firmware must be.

This is the coolest shit I’ve seen all month. Just when you think the world is running out of interesting ideas, you come across something like this and realize you will never see it all.

Yeah, I am exaggerating a bit, but I’ve not met anyone under the age of 25 that’s even remotely interested in putting in the effort to learn (anecdotal, I’m aware). Many have expressed wanting to learn, but then they never follow up when I try and pursue teaching anything.

And I’m not necessarily saying that the average person already understands them, but someone from our generation will probably pick them up far more quickly then your average Gen Z/Gen A.

I’m pretty sure this is the only way to make a good video game movie.

But that would take woooorrrrk 😤

The day I started learning Regex was the day I felt like I was really learning computers. I went from 2 hour tasks to 15 minutes.

I doubt you’d even be able to reasonably explain what they are let alone how they work to the average person outside the Millennial generation.

I fear AI data processing will replace much of the Regex skill set. Why learn Regex when the computer just does it for you… 🙄

Not on Voyager at least. Maybe Voyager has a bug?

Soon^TM

Just use a MIDI controller or an Arduino button box. You can do it!

I understand the sentiment here, but how are you any more capable of handling the situation than the people they’re ‘vanning’?

I’m a white dude as well and I’m struggling like OP. Everyone is saying fight back and to be safe, but there’s really serious risk involved here that people are quick to ignore in writing.

All I see day after day is more and more police abuse and especially in protests where it counts. The other day, someone people in the comments were suggesting the bullet/stab-proof vests were expected fair, even for civilians.

My friends that I know are against our current state of affairs, but feel that peaceful protest has so far been ineffective. And I’ve never been a criminal before and would be terrified to start now.

I admit it’s been engrained in me, but I couldn’t bring myself to acts of vandalism either. I’m just not that type of person. And I think if there was a way to contribute by doing art or programming, or something similarly creative in a way that feels more impactful than peaceful protest, a lot more people would be more willing to put something in.

My entire life, I’ve focused on creative skill sets and I bet many that oppose Trump feel the same. I wish I had some sort of way to go out and actually see something directly change as a result of what I did rather than holding a sign up with some slogan that people might honk a horn at.

It all just feels wrong when the opposition literally wants to hurt us and all we want to do is keep our distance.

Saving this for later

I’m pretty sure you’re main character in an Assassin’s Creed game.

Sigma what?

Okay. I’ve used all of these and 3 definitely writes the best and is the most comfortable, BUT, I’ve had more of these fail or explode halfway through a cartridge multiple times.

So I have to pick my good old 5 will carry me through battle and back and I’ll lose it long before it stops writing. Never had a bad time with a 5.

7 can burn in hell

This has Funniest Joke energy to it

I just did one of my biggest trips last year by getting to see a live F1 race. I’ll probably end up going to another F1 race at a different track again. One of the most exciting events I’ve gotten to see.

Trevor’s speech following the mission actually has a decent amount of meat to it for that exact reason. He makes a valid point and the mission is used to demonstrate his point.

He points out how the guy was completely willing to give info, but because everyone is so torture happy, they make a game out of it the whole time (yes, I’m aware), cracking jokes and totally enjoying the guy’s pain.

I really hope the social commentary that permeates Los Santos is still there in GTA VI. Based on what we got in RDR2, I have no reason to doubt this game is going to be scathing on the current political climate. Time will tell.
