Huh. I’ve never seen much slight of hand magic in person, and until now I wouldn’t have thought that would be my reaction. But I can totally see a 1-on-1 close up performance like that feeling very invasive.

I mean, there is definitely a crowd that don’t like women as lead characters. While not directly related to movies, just see how a bit of peach fuzz on Aloy upset people when they showed off the new Horizon game. And that’s not a poorly written game or character.

Something like Captain Marvel does suit your argument; a poorly written character and movie, so people who criticise it get lumped in with the “women are bad” crowd. But there definitely are people who just hate things that put women in the spotlight.

Edit: fix shockingly poor grammar and spelling.

That’s the one I was gonna post! I think the text file containing ASCII 0s and 1s for an image of the Mona Lisa comes second.

Yes. Pedantically (as if this is a real language to begin with) it would be “Trick AND NOT Treat”.

I’ve never quite gotten into wine either. I like most stouts and porters. Bit anything too hopy in my bear and it’s going in the sink. Shame with the whole IPA revolution going on. Other than that cider and cocktails are the only thing I really enjoy consuming. Everything from the sweet Swedish Briska to the most fermented fresh pressed apple cider goes down without much problem.

Oh, that sounds cool! What is it you tune? I imagine some coil whine from heating elements maybe?

I honestly feel silly for not having looked up a solution like it earlier.

I got a couple of apps I’d recommend in a heartbeat.

Spectdroid is a spectrogram app. Its unreasonable how often I’m using this app. I got some mild tinnitus that comes and goes and this app allows me to find out if I got some actual weird buzzing I’m the house or if it’s just in my head.

And LocalSend is an amazing app for sending files between various devices and OSes over a local network. I no longer need to set up file shares, plug in my phone to a computer, or use cloud storage just to transfer over some files.

And then you realise your dumb endless ls-ing has pushed the command off the history list

It’s currently sitting with a 3600X with 32GB of corsair vengence ram, and trying to scrounge around for any hardrives I can find for storage :P

But it’s working really well for hosting jellyfin and some game servers on it.

That’s one cute pup!

I’ll give it a go, didn’t see the previous give always. The Invincible would be sweet to play in full. I tried the demo and the story had me intrigued and the art style is really cool. Similar in vibe to Red Matter and other “everyone’s vanished” mysteries. I’m dumb and can’t read. Out of the options there I’d love to relieve some old Tomb Raider nostalgia!

On another note, I recently cleaned up a pretty gnarly PC case. When my friend was in need to a PC I threw together some old parts for him. The last couple of years got pretty dark for him, and his flat was turned into more or less a drug den. But he’s recently kicked everyone out and reclaimed it. I was in need of a case to build a server in and he asked if I wanted the old one back as he was able to buy a new computer for himself.

All in all it took a bit over 1 litre of isopropyl alcohol, some elbow grease, and a water hose :P

I think they mean no consequences as in friends and family won’t have any upsetting reaction, work will still be the same, and so on. Like picking male or female in a game, it rarely matters what you pick, the game just rolls with it.

Didn’t know there was a ps3 remake of the game. I’ve been dragging along an old iso of the game for my replays. I might check that out for my next replay :)

You will still have private/public sections, interfaces (unless you class them as inheritance), classes and instances, the SOLID principles, composition over inheritance. OOP is a lot more than just large family trees of inheritance, a way of thinking that’s been moved away from for a long time.

Mm yes, reddit started with out with tens of thousands of users over night.

I think the situation here on lemmy is pretty comparable to early reddit. People forget it started out as mostly a nerdy programmer centric site as well, and then grew from there. It’s a bit jarring to see people here insisting on artificially creating communities and pushing/guiliting people into posting more just to bring the numbers up. “the narwhal bacon’s at midnight” (although it was always cringe) started because reddit was a niche site less known than 4chan to begin with, so it was just a nonsensical dog whistle.

Do I miss the focused subreddits around specific topics? Sure, but I also think they will come naturally with time if lemmy survives just as they did with reddit. And the whole reason we’re here today to begin with is because of an unsatiable hunger for growth.

The geography itself is mapped completely differently, I assume they just didn’t make many expeditions that far north.

And then plug those values into a image generation service to give users a visually intuitive way to see if there’s cooffe or not!
