lime!

i don’t use it because it’s an 80MB Electron mess with built-in tracking and advertising that does the same thing as tools that are installed on the system from day 1.

the devkit was an SGI supercomputer, since they designed the CPU. no nintendo hardware in it.

Remember how extreme hardware progress was back then. the devkit for the n64 was $250k in 1993 but the console was $250 in 1996.

you know on the one hand i like the idea, but on the other i would like my computer to be as unantropomorphized as possible so that i don’t start treating it like it has feelings.

i’ll take ERR 0x2038A702 UNABLE TO COMPLY; LP0 ON FIRE over oh nyo pwease don't SIGKILL me uwu any day.

doom’s netcode is weird as well, all the clients run in perfect lock-step. seems like it would be weird on non-duplex networks.

that’s also a good reason to not have the screen fully close. less danger of stuff getting inside.

yeah but you’re not folding it 100 times a day. if you’re an avid reader, you’re opening and closing it 10-20 times a day tops.

insisting on calling all tissues kleenex is how the company loses the rights to the name

“your instance” is where you made your account, so lemmy.world

take a breather and come back to it later, the place will still be here :)

a ps4, sorta.

this is gonna sound weird but giveaways used to be illegal here. there have been laws about lotteries since the 1300s, and in the 1700s the king decided that lotteries needed to have his personal stamp of approval or they were illegal. this has been changed and churned over the years but as it last stood, even temporary lotteries needed to have a license to operate from the local government. this also meant that only the state was allowed to run casinos. weird, i know. this only changed in 2019, at which point we got inundated with commercials for online casinos and the part of our healthcare system that deals with gambling addictions instantly collapsed.

anyway, to get around the need to seek a lottery license, giveaways usually had an “utslagsfråga”, an elimination question. this way the person managing the giveaway can show that there was some skill involved in the selection process, which makes it a contest and not a lottery. so technically i won a contest for a ps4, not a giveaway.

that’s what the other side wants them to do, yes.

servers are probably to tightly integrated into ubi’s infra to publish but they don’t want to say that.

according to gorhill, it’s not as much dead as “done”. idk if that means it still works though

if loving worms is stupid i don’t wanna be smart!

god, if “we didn’t think we’d need it” isn’t just the motto of wayland at this point.

it sure sounds like it’s trying to. although i agree it’s probably intentionally hyperbolic.

but like… none of this makes the terminal more powerful.

something like the Arcan lash/cat9 shell is a massive leap forward in terminal technology that may potentially completely change how we use it. it does this by understanding what makes the terminal productive: pipelining, batch processing and scripting.

meanwhile this is just… a skin.

the story is much better in jc2 but it’s so hard to go back to with how well executed the movement was in 3. it’s a shame they skimped on the writing.

like, the final boss in 2 is a fist fight on a flying cluster of ICBMs. the final boss in 3 is… a helicopter.

…so they switched to a browser with a known history of breaching that trust?

rocm is open source as well. amd have historically been the ones pushing for open standards in these things, probably because they’ve never been market leaders.
