apotheotic,

I was very much hoping that this was like “Skeletor is a bad guy and is saying this thing which is implicitly wrong and harmful”

Edit: nope, her post history is a fucking trash fire. She truly believes this.

apotheotic,

Oh my god thank you for reminding me that tremulous existed. I spent so many hours playing that

[Forever-free Friday] Cave Story (www.cavestory.org)

Considered by many to be one of the defining indie games, this 2004 metroidvania adventure “received widespread critical acclaim for many polished aspects of its design, such as its compelling characters, setting, story, and gameplay”. While the enhanced Cave Story+ has been given away before, the original is available on...

apotheotic,

I loved this game, but the “true ending” felt like a weird design left turn. It traded the enjoyable platforming and combat for literal hell - and I’m no stranger to “getting gud”. The difficulty (of the true ending sequence) was RNG heavy and unfun (for me).

apotheotic,

The tone of this comic reminds me of this video which I find equally funny

apotheotic,

I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

apotheotic,

I don’t mean to sour the funny, because it is funny/sad indeed, but

If you know you want the info from the official docs, why not do a search that forces results from that site, or search just for the official docs and then find the page you’re after on the docs themselves?

apotheotic,

Nowadays I’m pretty sure stuff like site: foobar still works no? Idk I use ddg so I can’t say with certainty but I feel like “basic” power user stuff should still work right?

apotheotic,

I bloody well hope so? Why would we want sex offenders having a say in legislation? This isn’t trump-era america for fucks sake

apotheotic,

But this isn’t “half of a quarter” this is “the reciprocal of a half, of a quarter”

Half of a quarter is 0.25/2 or 0.25*1/2

I don’t think this was shared because people are finding it a “challenge” it just looks funny.

It takes all of a few seconds for your actual mathematical processing to kick in and you go “oh yeah duh” but its just a funky little string of numbers.

It lives in the same camp as how none of the >3 whole multiples of 17 feel like multiples of 17. 68? Preposterous.

apotheotic,

I think the meme is an exaggeration of the situation for comedic effect. It just looks silly at first glance, I don’t believe the OP is kept up at night by this, and is rather making a remark about how it doesn’t instantly feel intuitive as a result (to use the 20 Celsius water example, its the same kind of momentary “wtf?” as 40 Celsius water not being twice as hot as 20 Celsius water. After a moment you remember “oh derp yeah we’re missing 273.15 kelvin in this picture lol”)

apotheotic,

Windows defender along with a system hardener (like hard_configurator) can actually be quite insanely strong, especially since windows defender starts working and blocking stuff long before non-system apps, which can be a big boon. This approach is also free (if you have windows) which seems to fit your needs!

apotheotic,

What’s not simple about it, as a password manager? Pop in the name/uri, pop in a username, pop in/generate a password Bingo bango Is there a level of complexity I’m missing, or alternatively is there a simpler approach?

apotheotic,

“Every state is necessarily a dictatorship” good gracious me what a horrifying sentiment

apotheotic,

Or, you know, we could not have a dictatorship. Granted, pretty much every large country in the world is struggling with that step right now.

apotheotic,

It appears to be his real voice, but the way he has narrated it has some really strange inflections and is generally monotonous, which gives it that ai generated uncanny feeling.

apotheotic,

Thanks, with this comment and the other comment about nix derivations I’m sure I can find some footing.

apotheotic,

That’s very helpful, I’ll take a look. Thank you!

I’m enjoying the aspect of nixos insofar as it “forcing” me to understand what’s actually going on a bit more than other distros. I decided to basically take off the training wheels and just installed a bare nixos install - no DM just a shell (which was a first for me too). I’m getting situated with hyprland (which, I’m led to understand is also a steep learning curve). Its a lot of fun but I’m doing a lot of head scratching.

apotheotic,

Thank you deeply for such a thorough answer! If I make any discoveries that aren’t documented I will definitely try to contribute to the wiki.

apotheotic,

Random question - my current setup is all done through configuration.nix. Do you think it would be wise at this stage to pivot to learning about flakes and using them instead (as the other comments have suggested, flakes appear to be the way to go), prior to introducing more complexity on my system (installing chameleon, etc)?

apotheotic,

Awesome advice, thanks again :)

apotheotic,

Oh hey I’ll come do a guest spot on your podcast! I was broken up with on valentines day by two different people ;-;

I’m glad I could help you find your answer, even if it was one that sucks a little bit. Sending you a big hug from across the internet
