Women are my favorite guy.

For those who are still out of the loop, the green-haired girl is Übel from Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End and the unamused elf is Marcille Donato from Delicious in Dungeon.

Is it just me, or are those the Evangelion kids? (Asuka, Kaworu, Shinji, and Rei, more specifically.)

verdare ,

I agree with the statement. But my vision for a peaceful future isn’t a perpetual Mexican standoff. Nor do I like the idea of political power and representation being directly proportional to one’s intent and capability to do violence.

Also, if owning firearms is a requirement for civic participation, what you’ve really just done is institute a tax that goes directly to gun manufacturers.

Yeah, Valve has put a lot of effort into bridging the compatibility gap for Linux. Most of that work could also be ported to macOS, but they just don’t care.

It’s a shame, because getting 32-bit to 64-bit compatibility working would help Linux as well. I don’t know how much longer distros want to keep supporting 32-bit libraries, and some distros have already dropped them.

That said, macOS compatibility seems like a non-sequitur for an article calling Steam a “time bomb.” DRM is definitely the bigger issue here.

verdare ,

The ARM translation may be less of a problem on macOS because of Rosetta. That said, integrating something like Box64 would absolutely benefit both Mac and Linux.

For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars, and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man... for precisely the same reasons.

We’re talking specifically about people who want a more progressive candidate who won’t back a genocide. No, I don’t think such people are likely to vote for Trump.

People with leftist principles aren’t equally likely to support all candidates in an election. You have to take the sampling bias into account.

It’s the best we’ve got for now, unfortunately. And yeah, it sucks ass. Hope we get to see FPTP die in my lifetime, but I wouldn’t bet on it.

verdare ,

Ah, I recognize the source of this panel.

verdare ,

But are you QPU-aligned? Checkmate, transmascs.

verdare ,

GIFs are just the worst format for video. They only took off because the standard was universally supported in browsers.

Please, for the love of god, use an actual video codec.

Is this The Part Where He Kills You?

Holy shit, an Earthbound reference!

Not unless they were training the language models on customer interactions. I could see them doing this, but I would also expect the dataset to be curated.

U.S. Sues Apple, Accusing It of Maintaining an iPhone Monopoly (www.nytimes.com)

The department joined 16 states and the District of Columbia to file a significant challenge to the reach and influence of Apple, arguing in an 88-page lawsuit that the company had violated antitrust laws with practices that were intended to keep customers reliant on their iPhones and less likely to switch to a competing device....

Nintendo isn’t being hit with suits for not allowing me to play playstation games on my switch.

And I unironically think it would be a much better world if they were. Why did we let corporations decide that certain computers are “proprietary” and users shouldn’t be able to own and control the hardware they paid for?

Windows is also a proprietary OS. What’s uniquely “proprietary” about Apple’s hardware that distinguishes it from a Dell or Lenovo PC?

verdare ,

x86_64 is a proprietary, licensed ISA. Both Intel and AMD’s microarchitectures implementing it are proprietary. Apple didn’t design their own ISA; they’re using ARM (which is also proprietary).

Consoles may be using x86_64, but they are not PCs. Very similar to PCs, but then so are Apple’s ARM machines. Both Apple’s computers and PCs use standard components and interfaces like USB, PCIe, and UEFI.

But all of this is beside the point. Even if Apple did build everything from scratch, why should that give them the right to lock down their computers? My point here isn’t about what is technically legal under current legislation, but what should be legal based on our values as a society.

verdare ,

Definitely missing the joke here. What anime is this?

verdare ,

I genuinely thought it was hilarious. The first sentence is the setup, while the second delivers a misdirection and finishes on an absurd conclusion.

    AV1 was designed with hardware decoding in mind. The reason it isn’t as widely supported on hardware is because it was released 5 years after HEVC. It takes a while for new codecs to get hardware support, and even longer for that support to become ubiquitous.

    Also, AV1 has the uphill battle of not being able to use any of the patented technology in HEVC.

    Someone hasn’t seen Fullmetal Alchemist.

    Wait, I’m actually drawing a blank on catboys. Who is it?

    I keep history on, but use private mode a lot.

    I’ve considered this myself. A sort of “maximum allowable wealth disparity” limit. The only trouble is enforcing it. There are all sorts of ways to shuffle wealth around that might not count as “pay.” You’d need to plug all of those loopholes.

    verdare ,

    C’mon, just cop to the fact that you made a mistake. Doing any less feels like a cop-out.

    Also, can I cop a feel of dem ti—

    It’s difficult because a rise time of zero is physically impossible. You can’t instantaneously jump from one voltage to another in real life; There’s always a transient response. Circuits are made of physical components and electrons are moving objects.

    The internet is awash with reposts from the same three or four sites. This doesn’t seem unusual, especially for a smaller platform.

    From what I’ve seen, the “reality” half should also contain some thirsty lesbians.

    verdare ,

    Think it might be Love Live! I’ve never seen those shows, so I’m not sure.

    verdare ,

    Sure.

    I just binged all of the released chapters of this series last night. The quality is so-so, but yuri fans take what we can get.

    verdare , (edited )

    Reminds me of this funny talk from all the way back in 2015. (Christ, has it been almost a decade already?)

    verdare ,

    That’s Hachiman and Totsuka on the bottom, isn’t it?

    verdare ,

    You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

    verdare ,

    Pedant time: That actually wouldn’t kill any process that’s already loaded in memory and running. Unless the process attempts to access something else from the filesystem and crashes.

    Were the two women Byleth and Edelgard from Fire Emblem? I feel like I’ve definitely seen this image before, but I can’t seem to find it either…

    verdare ,

    I found this Reddit post, but the source is a dead Twitter link.

    Lol, I’ll pass on the offer, but the sentiment is appreciated. Glad I could be of help!

    Microsoft stole my Chrome tabs, and it wants yours, too (www.theverge.com)

    Last week, I turned on my PC, installed a Windows update, and rebooted to find Microsoft Edge automatically open with the Chrome tabs I was working on before the update. I don’t use Microsoft Edge regularly, and I have Google Chrome set as my default browser. Bleary-eyed at 9AM, it took me a moment to realize that Microsoft...

    verdare ,

    Depends on your needs. For a lot of users, I think the current Linux desktop experience is sufficient. If you have more specific needs, I can see why you’d stick with Windows.

    verdare ,

    I don’t know number theory, but I’ll upvote surprise ChisaTaki.

    verdare ,

    The characters are from Lycoris Recoil. It was very popular when it was airing.

    verdare ,

    That is actually a pretty accurate summary of how orbits work.

    verdare ,

    Source is this GL manhua.

    verdare ,

    I did not expect to see this manhua on 196.
