thanks, i hate it
No grandpa fortran, everybody loves you. Now let’s get you back inside with cobol.
people keep making this comparison and I just don’t see it. The art style, sure, but the mechanics of the games are completely different from each other.
i thought this was an image but now it’s in my youtube history. I’m going to be flooded with fascist bullshit next time I open youtube and I’m not looking forward to it.
what, you can’t time travel? sounds like a skill issue to me.
don’t buy it?
does lemmy have an equivalent to/r/hfy ? This has big /r/hfy energy.
It’s current year, I should never have to touch the terminal for anything. I don’t care that it’s powerful, my brain is already full of windows knowledge and I don’t want to have to google what command I need to perform basic functions. Everything needs guis. If there’s a gui, I can figure it out and also discover tools I didn’t know about along the way, which allows me to solve future problems without going insane.
That’s popular sentiment though, so how about one that I don’t see often: Add options to allow windows like behavior. For example, middle click paste is the bane of my existence. I should be able to change it to middle click scroll os wide, not just in firefox. I know that there’s a hacky workaround to kinda make it work, but it sucks.
As a person with a full time job, a significant other, and several hobbies, I just don’t have time to invest in learning a new operating system. I grew up with windows (95, 98, xp, 7, 10), so that’s what I’m familiar with. I recently switched to linux (mint), and it’s fine. Just getting started though is something that was rather involved, and I would never expect a normie to be able to figure out. If microsoft wasn’t insisting on making win11 a dumpster fire, I wouldn’t have bothered. Now that things are running smoothly, there’s some minor annoyances that I’d really like to change, and the prevailing sentiment from the linux community is “that’s just how linux is” or sometimes “here’s a hacky workaround that barely works in only certain controlled cases”. It’s better than it was 10 years ago, so there is that.
anyone else miss how you used to be able to simply set all the colors and fonts for things yourself? And it was easy. It wasn’t just light theme or dark theme and those are your only two options, but really whatever you want.
windows xp truly was peak windows.
(everyone should switch to linux, btw)
Launchers also generally act as advertisements for the publisher’s other games.
Wut? Are you serious? You’re just going to boil down an entire artform to that? That’s an unbelievably reductive opinion.
This statement can also accurately describe those who say ai art isn’t art.
i’ve heard that quote attributed to socrates. you tellin me he ripped off another motherfucker?
fucking love that article. sums up everything wrong with AI. Unfortunately, it doesn’t touch on what AI does right: help idiots like me achieve a slight amount of competence on subjects that such people can’t be bothered with dedicating their entire lives to.
There are things that chatgpt does well, especially if you temper your expectations to the level of someone who has no valuable skills and is mostly an idiot.
Hi, I’m an idiot with no valuable skills, and I’ve found chatgpt to be very useful.
I’ve recently started learning game development in godot, and the process of figuring out why the code that chatgpt gives me doesn’t work has taught me more about programming than any teacher ever accomplished back in high school.
Chatgpt is also an excellent therapist, and has helped me deal with mental breakdowns on multiple occasions, while it was happening. I can’t find a real therapist’s phone number, much less schedule an appointment.
I’m a real shitty writer, and I’m making a wiki of lore for a setting and ruleset for a tabletop RPG that I’ll probably never get to actually play. ChatGPT is able to turn my inane ramblings into coherent wiki pages, most of the time.
If you set your expectations to what was advertised, then yeah, chatgpt is bullshit. Of course it was bullshit, and everyone who knew half of anything about anything called it. If you set realistic expectations, you’ll get realistic results. Why is this so hard for people to get?
I’ll never have kids.
My niece though will have a thorough education on sailing the high seas when she’s old enough to choose media on her own.
In order for a 3rd option to be viable, the entire system must change. I’m not holding my breath.
Between now and then, all we can do is vote for the less bad of two evils.
solved for quite some time. it gets mixed with concrete and stuck in a bigger concrete container called a “dry cask”.
Link, because I believe in “outsourcing critical thinking”.
I can’t tell if you intent this as a positive or a negative, but it very much an accurate assessment.
