As always, you gotta know both so that you can pick the right tool for the job.

So it’s cryptobro bullshit

When I deleted my reddit account many years ago, my productivity skyrocketed. It has now dipped considerably since I started using Lemmy, so I’ll probably stop doing that soon.

It’s not just the extra time you get from not using the site; there’s a very real effect on my ability to focus on tasks when I don’t have Reddit/Lemmy as an escape hatch.

I thought that losing my 10yo+ account would hurt, but it turned out that I didn’t give a shit.

I’ve been on Silverblue (well, Kinoite) for quite a while now, and the only issue I remember having was that I had to use flatseal once to give steam access to an external drive when adding a new library folder.

Everything seems to work fine. I’ve never been prevented from playing a game when I wanted to due to immutability or flatpak issues.

Maybe I’m in the minority here but I’m not a huge fan of the recent trend of sex in mainstream video games. Besides the janky awkwardness of polygons, there’s something off-putting to me about my character having sex. Am I supposed to be pretending that it’s me as I watch the animation happening? When I play a game (esp. an RPG) I can get really immersed in the experience and feel like the mouse/controller is an extension of my hand, shooting fireballs and whatnot. So is it also supposed to be an extension of my penis when my character starts having sex? Am I supposed to be jacking off for maximum immersion?

In movies it’s different because when a character in a movie has sex, the audience understands that they’re watching someone else do it. I’ve never seen a movie where I’m supposed to pretend like I’m the main character and I’m the one having sex. (Hardcore Henry notwithstanding)

I have nothing against porn or adult games as their own thing, but encountering it in a regular game always throws me out of the immersion. Coming from a mainstream studio, it also just feels like a desperate cash grab aimed at horny teenagers more than anything else, even if it’s nothing more than a short fade to black.

You’re telling me that when I hump a chicken breast from the supermarket that that counts as beastiality?! Wokeness has no limits smh.

Or my grandfather.

I have never in my (nearly) 20 years of being a software developer and general tech geek and (nearly) 10 years of exclusive linux desktop use, ever distinguished between the terms “folder” and “directory”, nor encountered anyone who did either.

OP is just being weird.

A few million/year is a reasonable amount of money for a (highly) successful person to make. A wealth tax for people making over a billion or just $100M per year is enough to fix a lot of the problems in this country without destroying the “American dream”

What is your opinion on homosexuality in frogs?

I’ve always wondered why anyone would drink beer without alcohol in it. I always assumed it was only ever used by alcoholics trying to kick their addiction, or desperate teenagers who can’t get a fake ID.

Do you just really like the taste of beer?

Reminds me of this company I have to deal with that sells specialty equipment, but the software for interacting with it is hosted on Google Drive. The other day I ran into an issue because they forgot to “share” one of the links, so you couldn’t actually download anything without requesting access. Had to scour the web for an old build hosted on what looked like the first website on the internet.

So yeah, some devs are clueless about these kinds of things. I think hardware people in general either don’t know or don’t care to learn about the software side beyond the bare minimum.

Shit I wouldn’t mind a job maintaining a mountain of PHP code: high salary, low expectations.

Probably either stray meteorites or cars.

Maybe the other races don’t count as “humanoid”? The dolphin people definitely wouldn’t be considered humanoid at least, neither would the ents in middle earth I guess.

Lost opportunity for love because he ignored the “no homo” rule. Tragic.
