ElectronSoup,

The first game I played was Space Invaders in my dad's local pub, he took me specifically to see and experience it.

The first to play at home was a variant of the grandstand 5000.

Then I played an atari 2600 at a cousin's house, and I fell in love with centipede.

ElectronSoup,

Bezos has a plan to do the same, but I think his calls for 100,000. Those two will be the destruction of this planet with their stupid one-upmanship.

ElectronSoup,

beehaw isn't down, just very slow, which is it's normal state of being if we're being honest

ElectronSoup,

When did 'darcula' in the context of the theme become 'dracula' ? The punnyness of 'darcula' always entertained me, but the rename is just sad.

ElectronSoup,

'exploding head syndrome', it's annoying

ElectronSoup,

At least it's a tail call

ElectronSoup,

Another pair with interesting Section 230 ramifications

how do you use your screen space?

i've been thinking of what the most efficient way to use your monitor or screen space is? do you usually just use windows that cover the whole screen? or how do you divide your windows and apps on the screen? do you leave for example firefox window cover the whole screen? and just alt + tab to other programs or apps?

ElectronSoup,

The other aspect is that virtual desktops aka 'workspaces' become more important, and you tend to compartmentalize your work into related chunks. Almost all tiling managers work with 10 virtual desktops, which often feels like not enough, bizarrely.

It was a couple of years ago, just after he had hooked up with a gf, and he was doing weird AMA videos while wearing a smoking jacket. The general gist of the rant was his political beliefs on racism, wokeism, and 'there are only two sexes', it wasn't a full on hate-speech-apoluza, and probably not enough of a red flag for him to continue gaining in popularity.

For me, it coming a little while after Cody going a bit too RWNJ after Kanyon left him, it was enough for me to nope-out of his channel, but I have a very slim tolerance of youtube celebs anyway, I find most of them unbearable.

edit: given the 'My Girlfriend owns a macbook, F my life' video that was posted a week or two after his rants, I'm going to say it must have been 2019.

ElectronSoup,

I stopped when he went on a transphobic rant about 3 years ago.

ElectronSoup,

Notice how almost all social media sites are now offering, or considering offering, paid 'blue checkmark' options? Yeah, seems that us plebians didn't factor into the 'OMG, that's awesome' reaction from the CEOs.

ElectronSoup,

You get about 0.25v from a potato battery, so 400 or so potatoes and you'd be home, maybe.

ElectronSoup,

America doesn't 'give away' weapons, Ukraine will pay for them eventually, just like Israel, SK, Taiwan, and the rest always do.

ElectronSoup,

I use Silicon Notes; While it has 'Notes' in the title, it's just a lightweight markdown based wiki

ElectronSoup,

Then pixelfed and complete the holy trinity :D

ElectronSoup,

"In politics, nothing is immutable"

Wow, just wow "Hey /r/piracy. Reddit admins de-modded the captain and put a sword to the mod-team's necks to re-open. It seems they really demand valuable input from pirates...." (www.reddit.com)

Hey /r/piracy. Reddit admins de-modded the captain and put a sword to the mod-team's necks to re-open. It seems they really demand valuable input from pirates. I look forward to you to taking this tacit Reddit endorsement of digital piracy to heart in the coming days!...

ElectronSoup,

The section 230 ramifications of this are hilarious

ElectronSoup,

This is an ADHD thing? Oh, I guess I learnt something about myself :(

ElectronSoup,

Doubtful, courts have already ruled AI isn't a 'person' who can create a copyrighted work, thus a non-person can't be held liable for defamation most likely.

Linus Torvalds -- Creator of Linux -- defends gun regulation, woke communists, womens rights AND trans rights. Linux is political! (cdn.masto.host)

Linus' thread: (CW: bigotry and racism in the comments) https://social.kernel.org/notice/AWSXomDbvdxKgOxVAm (you need to scroll down, i can't seem to link to the comment in the screenshot)

@morgthorak I think you might want to make sure you don’t follow me. Because your “woke communist propaganda” comment makes me think you’re a moron of the first order. I strongly suspect I am one of those “woke communists” you worry about. But you probably couldn’t actually explain what either of those words actually mean, could you? I’m a card-carrying atheist, I think a woman’s right to choose is very important, I think that “well regulated militia” means that guns should be carefully licensed and not just randomly given to any moron with a pulse, and I couldn’t care less if you decided to dress up in the “wrong” clothes or decided you’d rather live your life without feeling tied to whatever plumbing you were born with. And dammit, if that all makes me “woke”, then I think anybody who uses that word as a pejorative is a f*cking disgrace to the human race. So please just unfollow me right now.
ElectronSoup,

I've seen people on other sites malding about how this proves linux and the GPL are communist. I suppose it's important to know just what those people are melting down about this week.

ElectronSoup,

I enjoyed 'Creatures' back in the day, I saw a few weeks ago that some mega pack of it came out on one of the platforms - I can't remember if it was Steam or GoG, or perhaps both - but I can't really justify it enough with simple nostalgia when it's still really a 20+ year old game.

ElectronSoup,

The constant thirst is one of the handful of cardinal sins of reddit, porn subreddits encourage it.

ElectronSoup,

Apple users will want whatever apple tell them to want

ElectronSoup,

Sadly, this is probably what de santis wanted - it'll end up going to the SC and those corrupt chucklefucks will rule that gender identity isn't real or something

ElectronSoup,

I take it that this is only on new.reddit or mobile, I couldn't see any data request option when I was looking yesterday on old.reddit
