New name for the Cuck Chair just dropped

It’s not so much about estimating odds as it is limiting the potential downside. Hedging is the rational part of things lol

Are you crazy? An exe could corrupt the registry, delete system32, format C:, or delete the MBR! They’re dangerous!

Psychedelics, man.

Because they’re like, cool, man.

Maybe it’s an ear? There’s a bump in front of the face that would match for the right. It’s a really pleasing detail the more I look at it.

All I see is Walt and Gale

The political views of a recommended lecturer, and even his own views on cancel culture aren’t the issue in my mind. In fact I agree with some of the nuances there.

The notion of rejecting a software lecture for the views of the presenter is kinda dumb. I don’t know the content of the lectures, to be fair, but I assume any irrelevant personal views aren’t part of it. Lashing out at Kovarex for the recommendation is dumb too, arguably more so.

It’s the statutory rape comment that I don’t like, which affects the benefit of the doubt as far as his other stances go. Still, I don’t think Factorio, or even Kovarex necessarily, should be “cancelled” here. Any backlash for his own comments is fair though.

I see now my comment didn’t reflect that as I only meant to convey my own disappointment, which is also nuanced.

Notch back in the day, now this dude who I had immense respect and admiration for. At least we still have Kyzrati (please no jinx). And I swear to God if Tarn or Zach ever fall from grace…

“Completely normal” takes that are on the level of “I’m not racist, but…”. That is the proof.

A take can be common, pervasive, and bigoted.

It is a loss if someone doesn’t feel comfortable supporting or even touching the game after hearing this. It’s a beloved game that unfortunately, but deservingly, will be tarnished by the dev’s public views.

I’d love to answer OP, but that description somehow made me forget everything I’ve ever eaten.

It should have no issue continuing as it looks to be a hard fork. I use it too, so hopefully it just becomes the de facto app.

Nearly irrelevant xkcd

At least in software we know where the linchpins are on some level.

Obviously there’s the overall juxtaposition, but I really like the proportional dampness.

Definitely the latter. I have a pet theory that 3rd rock is based on true events. Only an alien would be named, and physically manifested as, French Stewart.

I love xkcd and all, but I won’t stand for great lake erasure

Makes me wonder if it could be treated in some way to make it not-so-inhalable. Though maybe we have better synthetic alternatives by now.

We say poo butt… What an odd thing to have in common with a stranger on the internet lmao

The many tools around this are interesting. “Web clipping” I think is the generic phrase for it. I got kind of deep into it from of a desire to wrangle ADHD, and a bit of datahoarding and knowledge mapping. Omnivore is one I liked for text articles, and there’s super niche applications like Zotero.

Is this the genesis of British “humour”? Thomas, a Becket, even got the name in the time of Shakespeare.

Waiting for somebody to eviscerate me over British history, cause all I know is Monty Python.

I don’t know if blocking all interaction is possible or not. It can be confusing with federation. As far as I understand, instance blocking pertains to posts and not users. You won’t see posts from the instance, but other mutually federated posts can still have comments from the instance’s users.

I’m less clear on how user blocking works, but I imagine you wouldn’t see comments the comments at all in that case. They can still see and interact with your comments/posts (I think), you just won’t see it yourself. You’d probably have to block each user individually since I don’t think Lemmy has that functionality.
