Why, a hexvex of course!
3 terminal apps that got me hooked:
mednafen (emulating a PS1 on a net potato with 2gb of ram and an atom processor at a playable framerate was just magic to me)
moc (epically minimal music player that just feels right)
nano (I wrote a series of short stories using it while listening to music on moc, honestly the most zen-like experience I’ve ever had)
Bonus: radion (an online radio player mostly written in bash I discovered in the early days of Lemmy)
Too much time this year has been lost fixing random cups issues for people. Too much damn time!
Clearly they gave every last fuck they could about that code.
DRM - the bane of good user experience.
GOG nailed it - no DRM, low prices, convenience.
If most book publishers released their texts with new features (e.g. linking references, or adding additional notes to proofs/solutions) they’d get their sales. Instead they just slap DRM on and…
Fair play to you - it just comes off that way.
Each post that hits my feed makes me think “wow, sexism is alive and well”. Glad to hear it isn’t just all rage bait.
Eh, I only ever see that community when a bait post makes it to the front page.
Honestly, I just assumed it was a really elaborate troll group and didn’t bother engaging.
You know, there’s a fun observation to be made here: for every perversion you ban, the more niche ones move further up the view list. In essence, short of a complete porn ban (which is their final goal), they’re likely to make the problem worse.
In terms of boys learning violence from this kind of porn - surely the online safety act is doing that right? Of course not; that act has failed gloriously and this proposed change evidences that.
The real solution they should be considering is strong messages about “safe, sane, consensual”. Stick it up on posters, make it a mandatory banner on porn sites (who would complain, really), even take that shit into schools (it’s good practice even for vanilla). The real issue isn’t the acts themselves, it’s the way we talk about them, or more don’t!
Reply to edited chart - violence against adult was not as common. Violence against other kids however…
Also, 1995–2002 was peak chav ;)
I’m not from the USA so I don’t really have a clear idea on what a redneck is.
However, going from media representations (dodgy ground) I’d say no. There isn’t the strong streak of racism, and the demographic is uniquely young for chavs (since most grow out of it).
Chav is not a term to describe a working class person - it’s a term to describe a subset of youths who are pretty much feral.
By feral I mean aggressive and “antisocial” in the “are you looking at me pal” kind of response to eye contact. In essence, a youth whose primary strategy is to escalate to conflict by the shortest possible route in the hopes of winning status.
What that has to do with coming from an honest working family is beyond me!
No… that culture of violence was very very real. The stories may sound ridiculous, but that’s just because of how extreme that culture was.
When you’re young you experience the world, when you get older you keep the world working for the young to experience it, and when you’re old you wish you’d made it work better so you could’ve really experienced it.
I often come up with a fun nickname for UK leaders - from “Creepy Uncle Boris”, through “Sussy Sunak”.
I’d like to inaugurate “Stasi Starmer” in memory of this absolutely insane decision.
Shit… One of my coworkers is giving me one of these to play with…
Guess I’m ordering the socks this weekend…
Didn’t know he had a degree in mathematics - that’s a fun one to share with my students.
Thanks!
It’s a toss up between smoked paprika and chipotle powder.
So, if the damage increased the value of the building, it would necessitate the courts paying? Sounds reasonable.
How dare you! You can’t throw facts at puritanical arguments; that’s illegal.
Hi intel management system, you can be thrown into abnormal states where you sit there eating glue.
One of those little truisms folks forget is that optimising software takes a LOT longer than making something that just works.
