With Linux:
I don’t have forced updates.
I do have driver compile error when I update the kernel.
I don’t have spyware recording my screen.
I don’t have Discord record my screen when I want it to, either.
I don’t have ads for games in my launcher.
I don’t have HDR for games in my Steam library.
Etc.
It’s not WeChat, it’s ШеСнат. That’s an entire alphabet of differences! /s
Aside from anticheat BS, Linux has come pretty far. It’s not perfect, but it’s not the frustrating mess like it used to be half a decade ago.
Switching to TempleOS made me hear the voices again.
Look, I’m not saying the wheel is wrong. It rotates, but what if two people try to turn the wheel at the same time, in opposite directions?
What if—instead of risking misuse of the wheel—we have a my_wheel::Wheel, which only one person can rotate at any given time? The multiverse could enforce this safety at compile time by making it impossible for there to exist a universe where two people both think they own the right to rotate the wheel. In fact, it could even make it impossible for me to lend out the wheel to more than one person at a time.
And, maybe… we could make the wheel even better. Cars rest on top of wheels, sure. But what if I wanted to make a car that rests on top of other cars? If we rotate the super-car’s wheels, we don’t want to make the sub-cars flap around—we want the sub-car wheels to rotate. It would be more future-proof to make a Wheel trait, then to make RubberTyre implement Wheel. Then, if we ever needed to make cars into wheels, we could have them also implement Wheel—but delegate the responsibility of rotating to their own wheels.
In fact, we should make it into a whole library. Our other projects could need wheels. Mr. Mittens might need them eventually!
Do you have HDR monitors? If you do and care about having the HDR part working, you’ll likely want to pick one that uses KDE Plasma for the desktop environment.
IT SAYS “NOT FOR COMMERCE” RIGHT THERE! WHY DOES IT MATTER WHAT I’M DOING? YOU’RE MAKING ME LATE FOR WORK!
3.1% NixOS… that’s barely a step below Debian at 3.4%. Is Nix really that popular?
Trump’s Justice Department weighed in too, calling the law “anti-Catholic” and saying “a more direct burden on the exercise of religion would be difficult to imagine”.
The fuck it is. There’s plenty of easier burdens to imagine than making priests mandated reporters for child sexual abuse, such as:
See? It’s really not hard. And those are far worse for Catholics than not being allowed to protect pedophiles.
It’s the same for a lot of people. Beginners are still learning good practices for maintainable code, and they’re expected to get better over time.
The reason people are ragging on PirateSoftware/Jason/Thor isn’t because he’s bad at writing code. It’s because he’s bad at writing code, proclaiming to be an experienced game development veteran, and doubling down and making excuses whenever people point out where his code could be better.
Nobody would have cared if he admitted that he has some areas for improvement, but he seemingly has to flaunt his overstated qualifications and act like the be-all, end-all, know-it-all of video game development. I’m more invested in watching the drama unfold than I should be, but it’s hard not to appreciate the schadenfreude from watching arrogant influencers destroy their reputation.
you’d end up using modulus and move on quickly.
But where’s the fun in that?
There are so many better for obfuscation ways of checking for oddness!
(a & 1) > 0
a.toString()[a.toString().length()-1] - '1' == 0
iseven(a)?(1==0):(1!=0)
That code is so wrong. We’re talking about Jason “Thor” Hall here—that function should be returning 1 and 0, not booleans.
In the source code for his GameMaker game, he never uses true or false. It’s always comparing a number equal to 1.
Karen demands to talk to the manager, while adding fuel to the fire.
I had a math teacher at my stem highschool claim that the touch screens on the ipads worked by heat and that if you touch them too much the screen will get too warm and stop responding
I think the only way this could be any stupider is if she said it has cameras under the screen looking for where your fingers go.

It’s actually getting kind of hard to think of new, stupider ways to ruin the economy and raise the cost of living. Parody is getting close to being indistinguishable from reality.
Brought to you by the party of white supremacy common sense, white supremacy reason, and white supremacist family values.
That makes much more sense now.
Yeah, I agree with you on that.
If discoverability was better, I’m sure Android would get way more ports of good games. With the way it is right now with shovelware and Google pushing microtransaction-riddled crap over one time purchase games, though, it’s treated as a second-class platform because it’s not nearly as profitable as other platforms.
Political tribalism with a heaping spoonful of introspection avoidance.
It doesn’t matter to them if the other team gets hurt. As far as MAGA is concerned, liberals and progressives (“the Dems”) had it coming and deserve the consequences. But, if their own team gets hurt, that’s simply unacceptable because they are the good guys.
That’s why they’ll look the other way if Republicans, MAGA, QAnons, or Trump supporters are caught out as pedos, extremists, rapists, or criminals. It’s an uncomfortable truth that doesn’t align with their reality. They would have to accept that they’re wrong, so they deflect and distract not to convince others but to convince themselves and protect their egos.
