…or even just consistency in their immorality.

I’ve seen supposed democrats rally against their own interests because their candidate wasn’t the perfect example of virtue; because Harris didn’t deviate far enough from Biden’s policy on Gaza, or because her candidacy was pushed through instead of another potential candidate. I’ve seen them vote for that hopeless independent because they’d rather risk four more years of Trump than accept Harris’ imperfections. They are complicit, and now they get to burn in that dumpster fire. Only 1459 days left of that, then, who knows.

We didn’t just realize it now, we knew since before 2016. It’s Americans that seem to have forgotten.

Hey Hulu, how many masts on my full-rigged ship?

N as in “pneumatic”, U as in “eulogy”, K as in “Québec”…

I don’t know who the downvote came from, it just appeared suspiciously quickly. Apparently some people are trawling this thread for dissenting ideas that do not conform to the herd’s opinion.

I’m sure Ubisoft had some sort of consultants about cultural and historical matters, but their involvement in production of the game and marketing is dubious at best. It still fucks me up that anyone thought it was okay to use a destroyed cultural/religious object as marketing material, even without knowing its connection to the Allied bombings. I maintain my position that Ubisoft is exploiting these ideas callously and arrogantly and should not be given the benefit of doubt.

Can I interest you in a calm and respectful disembowelment of Ubisoft?

(edit) The video is nine minutes long. You Someone downvoted me two minutes after I posted the link. You really only care about pushing the message, don’t you?

Yasuke is a questionable choice for a protagonist. It breaks with the pattern of inserting a fictional character into the world, you’ll never convince me that his race was not a calculated factor in choosing him, and his status as a samurai (and portrayal in western media) is largely based on a single historian’s work with questionable credibility. Ubisoft has used the Oda family crest without permission (the family still exists today), used imagery of the Buddha without permission (retracted, may have been the Budai), used a destroyed torii gate as advertising material; and for how much they bleat about historical accuracy, their trailers are chock full of inaccuracies.

I do not believe that a character is enhanced or ruined based on their race, but Ubisoft is definitely exploiting it.

Neat, thanks!

So what’s the current state of emulation on Linux? I still have both Yuzu and Ryujinx installed, but has either been superseded by a fork?

Low voltage: “Oh no, there is a tiny spot of corrosion on the contact surface, I think I need to lie down…”

High voltage: (rips line of coke) “I’M GONNA MAKE MY OWN WIRES WITH BLACKJACK AND HOOKERS!”

Not, it isn’t. It was most likely a spam filter. Images and longer messages work fine.

CEO: “Why do we even employ 60 testers when our software have always been mostly bug-free on release and patched within a week?”

The QA who spent the last three weeks pressing the same button 4000 times in different situations:

My crippling anxiety attack

1. It was doing new things.
2. It was easier to learn.
3. The other init systems were (are) stagnant.

Imagine trying to get new, young developers to adopt C or Pascal when the likes of Rust and Python exist. You can make arguments for a thing’s superiority based on moral standards (which are always subjective), but morality is a poor metric. If everything was done based on that, the Linux ecosystem would be in the same state as the GNU Hurd kernel.

aplay doesn’t bitch about encodings or signatures or checksums or something not looking like a media file. If you do something stupid (like pipe an executable file into it), it won’t tell you to go back to the child-safe play pen, it will pass the data to ALSA and do its best to render it as sound.

The Windows mind can’t comprehend the importance of the freedom to fuck around. But, looking at your comment history, you’re more of a professional contrarian and won’t even try to do that.

aplay: “Hey kid… wanna listen to the sound the Linux kernel makes when you push it through the sound card?”

Self-hosters:

I just simply set up a script to export my Trilium notes

edit the notes with an external editor, and then you can just re-import the note

Those two lines right there.

I value interoperability between software. Using a container format to store plaintext files and metadata introduces an XKCD 927 situation where it’s just another reinvention of the wheel that requires additional software support or a whole other workflow for no real benefit. Why is it necessary, for example, to store plaintext data and the related hierarchical structure in a container format when the same feature is already present in the filesystem with files and directories? It adds unnecessary complexity, roadblocks, and points of failure.

I’m using QOwnNotes at the moment. If I want to edit a note, for example, using neovim through SSH, all I need to do is navigate to the markdown file and open it. No scripts, no export/import. Only text files, and that is all it ever needs to be.

If that’s what it takes to keep his dick out of everything else, then so be it. It might also put some pressure on his neck from other regions where tiktok operates (particularly the EU).
