No… push forward to go down, pull back to go up.

I’ve never see a flight sim with reversed controls. They all work like a real plane joystick from what I’ve seen.
- Comment on Why did in game cameras take so long to get good?🤔 1 day ago:
Yup, I know it was there later, just not sure if it was always there. I do remember that later versions had significant improvements to their setup utility.

Was mouselook an option in version 1.0?
I believe they had a weird hybrid with mouse looking around and also moving forward and back.
It was definitely a time where they were figuring out how to make control schemes work, how to use two-button mice, etc. I remember playing Unreal (not Tournament!) with the numpad and thinking it was great.
wasd-standardization is one of the best breakthroughs in computer gaming in the last 25 or so years.
- Comment on I'm "use NFS forfilesharing old." what's the current optimal solution for shared drives if I have like 3 linux machines in the house? 2 weeks ago:
Isn’t nfs pretty much completely insecure unless you turn on nfs4 with Kerberos? The fact that that is such a pain in the ass is what keeps me from it. It is fine for read-only though.

- Comment on Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah… that all makes sense and those docks seem decent. The piece of the puzzle that’s missing for me is: how does docker turn a yaml config that says like … (from their example):
> frontend: > image: example/webapp > ports: > - "443:8043" > networks: > - front-tier > - back-tier > configs: > - httpd-config > secrets: > - server-certificate
… into actual operating, functioning container blobs? e.g. How does it know that “secrets: server-certificate means that it should take an ssl cert and place it in the container? How does it know where to place that certificate?

I mean I’d rather get told to “rtfm” than hear “it just works” with no explanation

No they’re still there in NTFS. It’s definitely still a thing, although automatic creation of 8.4 file names can be disabled.
- Comment on Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s. 3 weeks ago:
Just Microsoft things.
I thought they removed 8.3 file names a while back though?

Musicbrainz Picard is a lot easier than beets, although it does require some introductory concepts to make sense (e.g. terminology like “release”, “release group”). And it makes it too easy to accidentally poison datasets in an attempt to be helpful. Harder to automate than beets, too.
Both of them also benefit from a decent knowledge of where your files came from, not as good for a random pile of mp3s.

Got any good resources for learning?
In my (limited) experience Docker is just “run some script from a random GitHub that loads more stuff from a random GitHub… now you have a blob of code on your PC somewhere that’s unmodifiable and inaccessible unless it’s a web app in which case it’s listening on a random port with no access to any system resources”
I assume there’s something more I need to be doing but all the learning resources just kinda assume you understood wtf it’s doing.

Because other people stop existing in that bubble, because they become part of the background, bubbled people stop caring about them.

For filth in a charging port, yeah.

I know. :-)
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Not really relevant: power requirements would affect battery size much more than charging port size. And USB-C supports much greater power transport than the old dock connector.

- Comment on Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files? 1 month ago:
And why would “investigation is still ongoing” stop them from releasing it? My opinion: either a convenient excuse, or yet another self-own from the Democratic Party.
They chose not to release it, despite being under no true obligation.
- Comment on Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files? 1 month ago:
Well, assuming “They were sealed until Jan 2024” is true, then from that point forward they could have been released but weren’t.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
At the very minimum you are confidently incorrect about how universal those terms are.
British English uses “road surface” where US English uses “pavement”.
British English uses “pavement” where US English uses “sidewalk”
You can also find “metaling” as a general term for hard road surfaces.
Even “concrete” can be short for “asphalt concrete” or “bituminous asphalt concrete”, i.e. yet another name for that same thing.
I can’t find anywhere that uses “rigid pavement” as a term to mean specifically concrete based on Portland cement. To me it sounds like a general term which would cover both concrete and asphalt [concrete]. But I’ll trust that you didn’t just make it up.

Saving the clicks: there are no big surprises.
There is nothing surprising about Albanese’s choices
The author is “surprised-but-not-really” that an old white Australian dude doesn’t listen to indigenous music.
- Comment on The end of Windows 10 is approaching, so it's time to consider Linux and LibreOffice 2 months ago:
Because either way you’re taking a risk.
Security flaws and aging hardware are two obvious problems.
I’d very much question why you’d use windows 10 over something better supported— maybe not Linux but at least Windows Server OS.
