What about the outlook thing? Don’t understand.

Thank you my unbiased friend

This. I worked in a hardware store as a floater (I’m good at things, they ask me to do random) and often found myself irritated at how often I need to go outside for a minute to meet a customer or something, and then come back in and all the fucking lights are off.

Unfortunately, $100 isn’t enough to satisfy varying tastes, while also leaving out no one. Aside from that, kids didn’t recognize sacrifice, nor were most of them taught the manners to say “No, but thank you.”
Honestly, I think you probably should have known.
- Comment on Liking an OS isn't a personality trait ❌ 8 months ago:
In my experience, windows always gets something wrong with drivers and I have to go do some stupid shit to fix it. And then later fight windows update as it tries to override my fix. Windows problems are rarely immediately apparent, whereas Linux problems usually are.

No, they have serial numbers that are read by the printer when you try to use them. Air Gap the printer.

You can report the seller, and I am to understand that they take you seriously.

All you idiots telling FOSS maintainers to do something else, know that we don’t want to maintain yet another server. Aside from Discord, Zulip is the next best thing.

Yes, they will buy Apple phones. That is to say, fall head-first into consumerism.

But in the U.S our food is not fresh enough to be bagged by the customer. It must be wrapped so it can sit out for a considerable duration.

There is no guarantee that the lever would break in any position as particular as the pivot point.
- Comment on 1.1 History 11 months ago:
Most people are stupid boring and unthinking for the majority of their lives. It’s very hard for those with special interest to find others, let alone others with the same special interest.
Fuck the fact that modern society has made most people stupid boring and unthinking, and caused die-hard intellectuals and academics to feel lonely.

The sun. Does the earth and moon orbit a gravitational center that they share? Does that center revolve around the sun? How imperceptible is this, considering the shared point is likely inside the earth given the difference between its mass and lua’s?

I honestly don’t see the same conceit you do, and I expected it before reading. I just read the author as a jaded evangelist.
- Comment on A perfect visualisation of a wasteful system 11 months ago:
And another reason I didn’t put so much effort in is because that comment made me mad. This person managed to smear two separate groups of people in the same paragraph, quite thoroughly, while also being incredibly narrow. I don’t think that the descriptions actually represent the majority of these two groups of people. Perhaps it does describe some of the people in the middle of the Venn diagram, but certainly not all. You can’t just go around accusing entire groups of people of being “bad”. That makes you no better than Trump.
- Comment on A perfect visualisation of a wasteful system 11 months ago:
I specified the behavior that I don’t like, and have said what I had to say. Further rebuttal would be pointless, because you can’t argue with stupid.
- Comment on A perfect visualisation of a wasteful system 11 months ago:
You know what? I was going to methodically refute each thing, but you’re so wrong that I’ll just say you’re wrong and then this: you assuming things about people and boxing them up as your own preconceived “stereotypes” is a way more toxic trait than your street side christian hypocrisy.
- Comment on Plex Users Fear New Feature Will Leak Porn Habits to Their Friends and Family 11 months ago:
It often stops working when I try to scrub too much. Fast forwarding goes too far (randomly multiples) on Android (Google TV) and Firefox. Subtitles just do not sync, no matter what I try. I’m really lucky to get a movie with good subtitles. It can’t fetch metadata while a VPN is active. Jellyfin is garbage and I maintain that.
- Comment on Plex Users Fear New Feature Will Leak Porn Habits to Their Friends and Family 11 months ago:
Nope. And all of jellyfins other debilitating bugs are present still too. Still hot garbage.

- Comment on What is your favorite programming language? 1 year ago:
It has by far the most broken type system which is basically a facade for the programmer to feel safe
- Comment on Software Disenchantment 1 year ago:
Unity is trash and I’ll just leave that alone.
Using Rust for a game engine with wgpu, unless you already know Rust intimately and have used the Vulkan API before, is going to be difficult for you. I recommend you give it a try, but last I checked wgpu expected you to be familiar with Vulkan and is missing comments on most crate types and functions.
You might have better luck with something like macroquad or miniquad, but you’ll probably hit a wall and realize you want to do something that the developer didn’t think to expose an API to make possible. You’re also on your own for sound. Bevy has many components and I know it’s popular, but I don’t know if it has rendering. Maybe macroquad is the missing piece? Oh, and then text rendering. That’s a tough one.
I recommend a couple options: browse lib.rs or AreWeGameYet for game engines that aim to provide a complete package.
For non-rust, recently Relogic gave a bunch of money to Godot and FNA, so I would check those out. That’s going to be your quickest start (towards minimalism and performance) that isn’t unity.
