AVincentInSpace ,

so without an argument to -j the number of concurrent jobs is unbounded???

AVincentInSpace ,

Better than a guaranteed loss, right?

AVincentInSpace ,

Still, better to vote for the candidate that will ensure that forms of political action besides voting will continue to be legal

AVincentInSpace ,

Best not to vote then? Best to let the guy win who has promised on the campaign trail to make the lives of trans people, women, immigrants, basically everyone who isn't a straight white male, as miserable as he possibly can, and not put up even a token resistance against Israel, because the other guy isn't resisting Israel as hard as we'd like and is therefore just as bad?

I hate Biden too but not voting is not the solution.

AVincentInSpace ,

i am only left with more questions

AVincentInSpace ,

object to the choice being fostered upon her and choose nobody?

do you genuinely think not voting will make neither candidate win

AVincentInSpace ,

Link pls?

AVincentInSpace ,

Ah, fishhook theory, also known as "everyone even slightly to the right of me is a Nazi"

AVincentInSpace ,

The man is not shown in the picture

AVincentInSpace ,

Me in the corner with netboot.xyz: "I am four parallel universes ahead of you"

AVincentInSpace ,

me: searches for Thing for 15 minutes

me: ugh... MOM DO YOU KNOW WHERE Thing IS

mom: No but I can help you look

mom after approximately 3.5 seconds: it's right here sweeite

me: ...how did you do that

AVincentInSpace ,

god dammit. her laptop isn't even labelled. there is no text on it anywhere. nothing except the black chassis and the grey rectangle at a 45 degree angle.

WHY DO I KNOW IT'S A THINKPAD?

it's like the minimalist meme trend that was going around a while back but for brand recognition. I am not okay with the knowledge that I've beensoo easily programmed.

AVincentInSpace ,

You're not serious

AVincentInSpace ,

this lady is joking, right? right??

AVincentInSpace ,

I haven't had an opportunity to test it myself yet, but I've heard very good things about NixOS. The basic premise is that all of your system state, every config file in /etc, every package you have installed, everything, is defined by a single configuration file called configuration.nix. If you back up just your home directory and that file, you can plonk it into a brand new copy of NixOS, run a single command, and have it redownload and re-set-up everything else exactly how you left it.

AVincentInSpace ,

Speaking of, how is NixOS for gaming? I remember trying it a while ago but not being able to get the Nvidia drivers working. I've since switched to a machine with AMD graphics though.

AVincentInSpace ,

Yeah. The Declaration of Independence was a Reddit post. The Constitution is the result of a bunch of 30 year old men arguing over what should and shouldn't be in there, and one guy hopelessly transcribing their argument and hoping they'll sign it because he'll be buggered if he'll copy all that out again.

("The Vice President shall be the leader of the Senate, but shall have no Vote, unless they be equally divided." Yes, that's how having an odd number of voters works...)

It is good to know though that white Internet libertarians predate the Internet by about 2 centuries.

AVincentInSpace ,

if you're wondering why people hate vegans, it's because you post shit like this

Randie said "I have to find her." I'd take that as evidence he's into her, or at the very least wants to see her again, regardless of his gender preferences.

I have no idea how any of the characters shown in this comic being transgender would impact anything. Doubly so considering if the girl who walked past Randie both exists and is trans, that would mean she has transitioned with regards to her appearance but her employer both has not updated their database to reflect her transition and (assuming that lack of update was for ideological reasons rather than "IT is too lazy" reasons, which I would assume a trans woman would apply pressure to) has not transphobically fired her. While not strictly speaking impossible, I find this far less likely than that Randie simply imagined the woman, or that one of his male-identifying coworkers had dressed in drag to mess with him.

wait they made an electric hummer?

Sonic Mania works great on there too! There's also a port of Sonic Robo Blast 2 that plays in stereoscopic 3D!

Half-Life plays okay, but struggles to maintain 60FPS and the loading screens (including the four during the opening tram ride) take 30 seconds each. Not what I'd call playable, but still, cool!

Performing the jailbreak takes about 15 minutes and comprehensive instructions for all 3DS models and firmware versions can be found at https://3ds.hacks.guide. All you need is the 3DS itself and any device with a browser and SD card reader. You can even use an Android phone! Jailbreaking is virtually risk-free, and once done, never needs to be done again -- the customized firmware can be updated from the 3DS itself. Jailbreaking your 3DS will not affect anything it can currently do -- all your themes, games, saves, and home menu layout will remain exactly as you left them. All it does is add a few new apps to your existing home menu for interacting with the jailbreak.

Other benefits the person above me did not mention include playing online after the server shutdown through Pretendo Network, being able to take screenshots during gameplay, streaming gameplay footage to a PC via Wi-Fi without needing to track down, buy, and solder in a 3DS capture card, removing the region lock to play Japanese/European exclusive games on an American handheld (or any other combination), create backups of your save games from cartridges or installed titles and restore the backup potentially to a different cartridge of the same game, copy games from cartridges onto your SD card as items on your home screen so you don't have to worry about losing the cartridges anymore, being able to load DS and GBA games from ROM files on the SD card and run them natively without emulation using the 3DS's built in backwards compatibility mode, installing the 3DS version of RetroArch for emulating game systems up to the N64/PS1, and installing mods for 3DS games. I've heard good things about the ORAS romhacks, plus there's a mod for MarioKart 7 called CTGP-7 that adds a bunch of new car parts and characters (I like playing as Sonic) and triples the number of tracks in the game. Some of the ones it adds are even good! Plus you can play them online with other people who have the mod!

Here are a few helpful links to 3DS apps you should install after you've finished following the guide (and browsed https://themeplaza.art for a community created home menu theme that suits you, or created your own using Usagi's Theme Editor):

  • openagbfirm -- run GBA ROMs using built in GBA compatibility mode
  • TWiLightMenu++ -- ditto for DS games
  • NDSForwarder -- create home screen icons for DS games on your SD card so you don't have to use TWiLightMenu's laggy UI to launch them
  • hShop -- archive of every 3DS game ever released, including internal Nintendo ones, plus a 3DS app for installing them (yar har fiddle dee dee)
  • Sonic Mania port (bring your own game files)
  • Half Life port (ditto)
  • Sonic Robo Blast 2 port (ditto except that SRB2 is free so you can just download the game files from the game's website)
  • CTGP-7 (you need a copy of MarioKart 7 installed to play it)
  • and who could forget Pretendo Network -- fanmade recreation of 3DS games' online servers to allow online play after the server shutdown
AVincentInSpace ,

No that's just the 3DS's atrocious SD card reader topping out at 6MB/s iirc

AVincentInSpace ,

you can text 911 though?

AVincentInSpace ,

please let your grammar be indication that this is satire

AVincentInSpace ,

?????? Retransmitted packets don't get counted towards downloaded file size

AVincentInSpace ,

It's a protocol violation to do that, not least because it precludes connection reuse

AVincentInSpace ,

What's a sex class? How is it defined? Does it include age groups? How about hermaphrodites?

AVincentInSpace ,

Yeah see the thing is she didn't say anything like that. She just assumes everyone knows what a "sex class" is to avoid having to define it herself.

AVincentInSpace ,

Show me where she says what those words mean.

AVincentInSpace , (edited )

"A woman is someone who belongs to the sex class that produces large gametes." That's all she said. No word on what a sex class entails, or whether someone who no longer produces large gametes, or who should produce them but can't due to a genetic defect, continues to be in it.

You have one more reply before I report you for being a troll.

AVincentInSpace ,

Lemmy is just Reddit with a tenth the userbase and political takes that are somehow even worse (now with 500% more bothsidesism!)

AVincentInSpace ,

@TheCoolerMia is flying dangerously close to the sun

AVincentInSpace ,

Forget playback. How was that video file recorded? How do you even store data that fast, let alone encode it?

AVincentInSpace , (edited )

There are people who like VLC, but for me personally, MPV has a much cleaner interface, better configuration options, and when it comes to streaming video, MPV absolutely destroys VLC (especially when changing playback speed while the video is playing -- VLC has the audio cut out for several seconds and MPV doesn't, and that's to say nothing of the MPEG glitches)

AVincentInSpace ,

Ohhhhhh. It's a video decoder torture test. "If your app can play this it can play anything" sort of deal. That makes sense.

Also makes sense that VLC puked.

AVincentInSpace ,

of course not they'd be shot down

since there are no missile launchers in the ocean it is perfectly safe

AVincentInSpace ,

"I'm so leftist I'm voting for Trump" --some young voters unironucally

AVincentInSpace ,

I want to believe this, I do, but that would mean that !libertyhub is filled with nothing but

AVincentInSpace ,

That describes like half of Lemmy though

AVincentInSpace ,

holy fucking bingle

AVincentInSpace ,

Isn't like the entire point of Matrix that it's end to end encrypted, thus rendering any data servers acquire useless?

You could make the metadata argument, but having one node aware of even most transactions is better than having one node aware of all of them.

AVincentInSpace ,

no use, minecraft server is single threaded. it won't hit 20TPS in an even slightly complex world no matter how much compute you throw at it

AVincentInSpace ,

Well, duh. It isn't there to protect you. It's there to protect the mortgage company.

AVincentInSpace ,

I kind of expected to see Starbucks here. Have they cleaned up their act?

AVincentInSpace ,

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fbterm can take care of some of the limitations (use TTF fonts, for example) but support in general for nongraphical environments on Linux at the moment is not amazing

AVincentInSpace , (edited )

i use...colors...

the servers in my and my friends' network are called Red, Blue, Green, Orange, Heracles, and hp_elitedesk (don't ask about those last two

I do come up with fancy names for my laptops though, usually some combination of the model of the laptop and the OS it's running. Void Linux + Thinkpad = "voidpad" was pretty straightforward, but when my next machine was an Alienware running Arch I was a bit stuck. After a bit of thought I remembered that one episode of Star Trek with the Guardian of Forever and named it "guardianoffornow"
