- Comment on Today is June 1st, the start of Pride Month. This scene from "Blood Oath" weighs heavily on my mind. 2 days ago:
If generic engineering becomes that easy, humanity will become nothing but massive, shambling genitals. Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal comic.
- Comment on Java at 30: How a language designed for a failed gadget became a global powerhouse 3 days ago:
There’s also Groovy. A data execution pipeline program I use called NextFlow uses Groovy based scripts.
And compiling for different architectures can be very difficult. I’ve done a lot of work Power9 computers and it’s not as simple as having the right compiler flags. Often the dependencies aren’t built for your platform either so you have to go and compile those too. It can be quite a hassle.

- Comment on Woodside boss says young people ‘ideological’ on fossil fuels while ‘happily ordering from Temu’ 1 week ago:
Almost like a carbon tax would help realize the costs to the environment that overseas shipping and energy usage causes.
- Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work? 1 week ago:
The Sunlit Man was so good. I love books that have fast pacing right from the start, and trying to figure out how the world worked was so much fun.
- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 1 week ago:
Also the sort of things the schools spend money on. I don’t know from experience, but I think US schools pay for police officers to be at the school. That seems crazy to me, and expensive.
- Comment on A better name for tramp stamp tattoos could be bumper stickers 1 week ago:
Nice Lady and the Tramp stamp!
- Comment on France’s new laser rifle silently melts electronics at 500 meters — and Ukrainian infantry could really use it 2 weeks ago:
Unless aliens attack! No, wait… Ok yeah.
- Comment on The small scale of Lemmy's active user base is never more evident than in the absence of active members in all the sports related communities. 2 weeks ago:
I’m in my 40s too and just finished playing spring league Ultimate Frisbee. It’s was a ton of fun, but I did get a lot of inflammation in my knees.
I also use Linux a lot, but also wish there’s was more sports talk on Lemmy, especially NHL. I thought more people woukd jump ship off reddit after the 3rd party apps were banished.
- Comment on Kids nowadays don't have many (if any) videogame heroes... 3 weeks ago:
Dark Cloud was my PS2 launch game I bought. I have fond memories, but hated the weapon durability mechanic. I gotta replay it to find these characters you’re talking about.
I remember loving Dark Cloud 2 and taking pictures of absolutely anything and everything trying to find recipes for powerful items.
- Comment on Darfall, a fantasy city-builder with hero-based RPG gameplay and night monster attacks, released on Steam. 3 weeks ago:
This is a genre I’m starting to really enjoy. I loves Against The Storm. This looks somewhat similar. I’d love to check it out!
- Comment on Apparently it was in the manual, but I'm just learning it now. 4 weeks ago:
Back then, stuff like this spread by word of mouth somehow very effectively. I’d have a friend over and they’d just pick up the second controller and laugh when I missed the shot.
There were a bunch of other things like the cheat code in Doom, the Contra code (although I think I saw that one in a magazine) putting the Warcraft 2 game disk into a CD player to get a secret audio track.
- Comment on Mouse pointers with drop shadows have their visual click zones and actual ones misaligned. 4 weeks ago:
Not if you imagine that the cursor is hovering above the screen, and each click is like a virtual instantaneous drop to the screen to make the click.
- Comment on After they kill Wikipedia history will be AI hallucinations. 4 weeks ago:
The encyclopedia even came on CD for a while. It was called Encarta. But I loved my parent’s World Book Encyclopedia much more.
- Comment on 'Starter homes' cost at least $1 million in over 200 U.S. cities, Zillow data finds 4 weeks ago:
Gotta work from home, but keep your mailing address somewhere expensive like Seattle. The pay is higher if you ‘live’ somewhere expensive for some reason. I guess you work better if you live somewhere expensive.
- Comment on I use Zip Bombs to Protect my Server 5 weeks ago:
It’ll email your grandmother all if your porn!
- Comment on Canada’s conservative leader Pierre Poilievre loses his own seat in election collapse 5 weeks ago:
Hey PP, good news! You don’t need to submit to a background check for a security clearance anymore!
- Comment on The XCOM Complete Humble Bundle is an awesome deal 5 weeks ago:
I love the voice acting in Xcom 2: WOTC. It’s like a Star Trek The Next Generation reunion.
- Comment on Study: Hopeful homebuyers need income of nearly $117,000 to afford typical home in U.S. 5 weeks ago:
The house will appreciate more than the mortgage interest. It’s debt, but not bad debt.
- Comment on If we are in a simulation, maybe yawning is an animation glitch. 1 month ago:
Many many animals yawn. Not just mammals but birds and reptiles. Even if we don’t understand fully why something happens, seeing it throughout the tree of life like that probably means there’s some reason for it.

- Comment on Day 272 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 1 month ago:
Nice screenshots.
Love this game.
- Comment on The sound of Windows 95 about to disappoint you added to Library of Congress significant sound archive 1 month ago:
Probably, but I find user interfaces now don’t really have you go hunting through multiple dropdown menus, so it doesn’t hit the same.
- Comment on The sound of Windows 95 about to disappoint you added to Library of Congress significant sound archive 1 month ago:
I had one ‘Yeah’ from Yeah! for going through my start menu, and a different Yeah for when a program was selected. It was awesome.

- Comment on X88B88 is the word "voodoo" with a reflection. 2 months ago:
What girl?
- Comment on I reckon this is the usage distribution of Lemmy servers that we'll end up with. 2 months ago:
By how easily you’re offended, your day was probably going to be ruined anyway.
I kinda like it. The off-centered main line allows labels to be written easier.
- Comment on Opening Lemmy in the morning and seeing dozens of unread comments in your inbox makes you think: what the heck did I say yesterday? 2 months ago:
I’ve seen a number of comments with a visible edit that have an even split between down and up votes. I can only assume the edit worked. Not like votes mean anything on Lemmy. It’s kinda nice not having the overall “karma” visible at all times.
- Comment on Milestone: NASA achieved GPS signals on Moon 2 months ago:
Ah shit, I scheduled a dentist appointment for that day.
