I remember there was a technology or games post asking about building a linux gaming computer from like a year ago, and it had tons of advice, but I can't find anything about it now (pretty normal for Lemmy search)

Does anyone know what that was, or am I wasting time on something that might be outdated and should find something more recent? I haven't build my own PC in a decade so my own knowledge is pretty old

Huh, that dog is pretty much identical to my dog with the saturation turned way up. It's uncanny. Justice for Xiaopang!

I think a lot of the shivering isles aesthetic holds up better. Lots of vibrant colors and weird shapes that made it a lot more interesting looking than Skyrim, which is just as outdated looking but also boring

Having a lot of dark thoughts reading that thread. They/theming people who don't use that pronoun is absolutely misgendering. Even in queer spaces it seems that way, since I never notice the cissies getting it.

I get harassed in public and misgendered in queer spaces. Why do I bother going on if no one respects or cares for me

I switched off Duck Duck Go when the Ukraine war started and they proudly began censoring Russian websites. (Tweet, lib news). If they're gonna do that what's the point in using them over Google or Bing? Plus they were advertising on the local radio in my tiny shithole town, which seemed like a red flag for a "less corporate" search engine.

Yandex has been good, mostly glad that it seems better at including the more niche keywords I search instead of ignoring them like Google does

Zuckerberg and Musk both feature themselves heavily in their company's marketing, unlike Google's founders. It's hard to see any news about the companies without seeing those two.

Also Americans hate Gates and Bezos? I hear people shittalk them far more often than Zuckerberg in real life. Especially Gates, since he's the center of a lot of conspiracy theories too

Thanks for reminding me to delete my account. It's been trying to force that log-in thing for a while for me at least. Imagine making a competitor to GitHub that sucks even worse

I remember that developer posting about his game on a development forum on Knockout.chat and getting banned because a zionist threw a fit. Good to see he's still active!

Pistachio milk is pretty good but stronger flavored. Macadamia nut milk is all around great.

I remember someone posted some meme that was like Instead of saying "I'm the worst worker here", say "I'm a master trickster who will never be caught", but I can't find it because I have a 0% success rate of using the search feature. Anyone remember where that was?

Saluton! Mi ankaŭ estas ML ke ŝatas lerni lingvojn. Mi ne kapablas Esperanton tamen. Mi tre malrapide skribas. Ĉu vi studas iajn lingvojn nun? Mi komencas lerni mandarenon.

Hello. I'm also an Ml that likes learning languages. I'm not very good at Esperanto though. I write very slow. Are you studying any languages now? I started learning Mandarin.

We were taught PEMDAS as parentheses, exponentiation, multiplication OR division, addition OR subtraction. I don't know if it was changed at some point but I don't know anyone who was taught that multiplication comes before divison

Blades in the Dark is a cool heist and organized crime drama ttrpg that uses d6 dice pools (usually not too many, 1 to 5 total)

Learn your local spiders. Moved into a house with a ton of spiders, but after learning to recognize them it turned out only Black Widows were dangerous, and they stick to themselves in sheds and don't bother us

Now as long as they don't touch me I'm good with spiders. Love this one's color!

Rust is very complex, in part due to the obsession with zero cost abstraction that leads to caring about lots of edge cases like NonZero types. But at least when I've worked with it, a lot of that you can just ignore and write straight forward code, and it'll still likely be very performant. Although the Rust sort of philosophy vibes with me better, so not all might find that so forgiving.

I did quit using Rust due to its compile times though. Even using dependencies that would advertise fast building like Bevy quickly started taking more than a minute to build (not from scratch, just making one line changes). And during that minute I'd get bored and do something else, and my productivity plummeted.

A lot of these have sources that actively contradict the claim, or are technically correct on the most redditor-esque of ways?

Banana-flavored candy was not intended to mimic the taste of a formerly popular variety of banana. It tastes different from bananas because it is mainly flavored with only one of the many flavor compounds a banana has, isoamyl acetate

Links to this article.

Remember how isoamyl acetate is the chemical compound primarily responsible for banana flavoring? Gros Michel contains more of that compound than the Cavendish. In fact, isoamyl acetate was one of the first chemical compounds used in artificial flavors that was confirmed to exist in the actual fruit as well. So, when you’re biting into a piece of banana Laffy Taffy, you’re getting a taste of the bananas of the past.

It is not illegal in the US to shout "fire" in a crowded theater.

Knowingly false statements of fact are often constitutionally unprotected — consider, for instance, libel, fraud, perjury, and false light invasion of privacy. That would presumably apply to knowing falsehoods that cause a panic.

I can't see the 28 days poster as anything other than :3
