Someone wants to raise their Hirsch index, is all.

- A tier. Reincarnated as an inanimate object.
- B tier. Reincarnated as a plant.
- C tier. Reincarnated as an animal (that cannot talk, telepathy is cheating).
- D tier. Reincarnated as an undead (a human disguise puts them to E tier).
- E tier. Reincarnated as a fantasy race (or a talking animal).
- F tier. Reincarnated into a different role or social status.
- Trash tier. Every Japanese high-schooler reincarnated as a black-haired swordsman. Korean black-haired high-school swordsmen are exempt because they all are violent trash-talking bitches, which puts them to F tier.

Just tried it. Way too hardcore. I was thinking of games more like Tesla Force or Space Marshals.
- Comment on Get some quality twin-stick shooters in the latest Humble Bundle 1 month ago:
They did sell Android games like seven years ago.

- Comment on What prevents Linux from being installed on mobile devices? 1 month ago:
You can install Linux on rooted phones using Linux Deploy, or you can install Linux-in-an-app such as Userland or Termux if you don’t have root.
- Comment on There should be a semicolon punctuation for exclamation and question marks. 3 months ago:
I suggest using a ternary operator. At least 10% of Lemmy users will understand this syntax.

It’s where you would download your anime and Quake 2 installer twenty years ago.

Don’t forget that cdrom.com , the biggest server on the Internet at it’s peak, was running on FreeBSD.

Maybe on my 32-bit ARM server with ancient kernel it will. Any 64-bit machine is immune.

- Comment on Remote IT management provider TeamViewer says it has been hacked, allegedly Russian state hackers from APT29 4 months ago:
Because TeamViewer will set up a port forwarding and a NAT traversal for you.
VNC and RDP only work when your host has a public IP, or you know how to set up a proxy.

That’s what the asteroid belt is for!
- Comment on Jinkies 5 months ago:
I first used Matplotlib 10 years ago. It was unintuitive and very slowly redrawing the whole plot each time you tried to zoom.
I’m using it right now, and I’m happy to report that it kept to it’s time-honored tradition - zoom is still piss-slow even on my fancy new PC with 12 cores.
Maybe in the next 20 years, matplotlib devs will discover wonders of tile cache.
- Comment on Android apps will soon let you use your face to control your cursor 6 months ago:
Samsung did it first, with their eye-tracking auto-scrolling, which was the first thing you turned off after buying a Galaxy phone.
Gyroscope-controlled mouse will be less awkward and more responsive.
- Comment on All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Why? 6 months ago:
Laptop has keyboard, you can type your password with the same speed as pressing your finger and waiting for it to unlock.
Most casual users won’t even know that their laptop has a fingerprint sensor.
When a company needs a proper security, they buy every user a hardware token like Yubikey.
But most of all, it comes down to the tradition. Manufacturers won’t add fingerprint scanner because users do not demand firgerprint scanner. Users do not demand fingerprint scanner because they are used to have no fingerprint scanner. Try removing a fingerprint scanner from a phone, you’ll see your sales drop like a brick.

- Comment on A single atom layer of gold – LiU researchers create goldene 7 months ago:
Gold leaf is like 500 atoms thick, by just beating gold with a hammer.
I’d thought they already have a process for making one atom thick gold, like vapor deposition.
- Comment on Moon Standard Time? Nasa to create lunar-centric time reference system 7 months ago:
When you are measuring precise distance to the Moon using lasers, 50 microseconds is about 1.5 kilometers.
- Comment on Chart: JP Twitter Followers Gained Week 12 7 months ago:
The most cultured anime of the season at the fourth place, yay.
I’m surprised that Solo Leveling did not even get into top 15, on the torrent sites it’s in the second place in popularity, right after Frieren.

I’ll believe it when I will see Linux ported to the shader language.
- Comment on Samsung does an Apple with its first Snapdragon X Elite laptop, suggesting the new Arm-based Windows machines aren't going to be a cheap alternative to x86 8 months ago:
Windows is not a ‘better’ product, that would be ChromeOS. Zero configuration means nothing can get broken.
The average user who started with MS Office 95 is now 50 years old. The younger average user at least knows there are alternatives to Windows.
PC gaming is a whole other can of worms. I keep hearing that Valve did some black mahic and now most of Steam games work on Linux with no issues.
- Comment on Samsung does an Apple with its first Snapdragon X Elite laptop, suggesting the new Arm-based Windows machines aren't going to be a cheap alternative to x86 8 months ago:
The only reason Windows is still relevant is a massive volume of legacy x86 applications.
If that laptop won’t support x86 emulation, it’d be actually worse that Linux ARM laptop.
- Comment on PC Engine (TG16) games are so colourful! I wish more modern games use bright colours like they used to do. 8 months ago:
It wasn’t an engine limitation, it was a design choice. Heretic is a colorful game, and it was using Doom engine.
It’s especially bad in Quake, all monsters look like a moving piece of a wall, and the level design is walls on top of walls with some walls in-between. If not for the revolutionary game engine, it would seriously flop.

The answer is 256-color (8-bit) palette.
- Comment on dotnet developer 9 months ago:
It was pretty smart marketing move. Business people hear ‘dot net’ and nod wisely. Tech people hear ‘dot net’ and scrunch their faces. Either way people keep talking about Microsoft Java.
- Comment on ELI5 the whole Wayland vs 11x going on? 10 months ago:
X11 is an ancient piece of crap which no one wants to update or maintain.
Wayland is the new and better display manager.
However, many old applications only support X11, because they depend on some arcane feature not yet supported by Wayland. Hence, the drama.
- Comment on A tiny radioactive battery could keep your future phone running for 50 years 10 months ago:
At this moment, 1 gram of radioactive Nickel-63 costs around 4,000 USD. Nickel-63 isotope does not occur in nature, it is obtained by irradiating Nickel-62 inside a nuclear reactor.
- Comment on xkcd #2880: Sheet Bend 10 months ago:
I want to see IRL photo of this connection.
The knot also needs to be adapted for common two-core electrical appliance cable, if you remove a piece of the insulation on one side and with an offset on the other side, the cable needs to be twisted mid-knot to match the correct wire.
