I Cast Fist

So instead of having problems getting the fucking program to run, you have problems getting docker to properly build/run when you need it to.

At work, I have one program that fails to build an image because of a 3rd party package who forgot to update their pgp signature; one that builds and runs, but for some reason gives a 404 error when I try to access it on localhost; one that whoever the fuck made it literally never ran it, because the Dockerfile was missing some 7 packages in the apt install line.

Why not Haiku 🙃?

Having that music start without “OBJECTION” being shouted first feels so weird

Poor Rock’s been languishing for ages, with Trigger being abandoned in space for 25 years now :(

I would like wired earphones to make a comeback, though that wouldn’t stop certain assholes from watching stuff/listening to music without them on the bus with max volume

Reminds me of a part I’ve recently read on The Dawn of Everything, comparing the Great Lakes natives’ freedoms to our corporate owned “freedoms”: while we’re busy with the “possibility of freedom”, they cared about the exercise of their freedoms.

Before the colonization, they were free to visit other places because they almost always had someone that belonged to their clan living there and who would receive them with open arms. They didn’t have to pay anything for the travel proper, but obviously needed to take some supplies to spend the days on the wilderness. For us, if we don’t have money, we don’t have freedoms: gotta pay for the car+gas (or plane or ship ticket), food, housing.

Most preppers are of the “fuck society, I am the most important part of it” mentality, whether they’re aware of it or not.

When shit hits the fan and the urban civilizations collapse, it’s the old nomads that’ll survive (if they haven’t been killed off entirely by then)

Unpowered for how long? 6+ months?

Warno is in my GOG wishlist, though I guess it’ll be a while until it goes on a big enough discount that I’ll end up buying

I remember a similar story some time ago, of another map that was just a big arena filled to the brim with all the enemies. Part of the strategy was circle strafing the whole place while enemies killed one another, then using the ammo to deal with whatever was left. Can’t remember the map name

I find that very likely, which will be extremely on character, as Oblivion was the first single player game to sell cosmetic DLC: horse armor.

Still better than magic in Skyrim, which by level 10 wouldn’t be causing enough damage even on mudcrabs anymore

What about committing crimes facilitated by facebook, instagram, tiktok? Those fraudsters (fake ads for high paying jobs, famous people peddling snake oil, etc) rarely get caught.

misskey/sharkey are also very heavy on the client side due to excessive javascript. Great looks on the browser, tho

Just yesterday I saw a post on lemmy that said that turkish xitter users were migrating to bluesky. Didn’t bother opening to see the comments or read it. Seeing this now, all I can think is “well, what did they expect?”

I’ve heard people complain a lot about its resource usage on the server side, that the advantages of it running on elixir are moot unless the instance has over 1k people. The web UI leaves a lot to be desired, true, but at least it’s not such a client-side resource hog/browser crasher as misskey/sharkey

You’re probably better off on a mastodon instance rather than lemmy

Do comments count as posts? Because losing all comments from an instance would probably explain such a huge dip

A more apt comparison would be with film reviewers. Before the internet, knowing what a movie was about, if you didn’t care about spoilers, would require either someone watching and telling you, or reading a piece on a newspaper (or, in some places, watching TV). It’s almost the same with “professional” game reviews and how they completely lost space to random dudes on the internet.

Also, watching a video usually feels more like entertainment, whereas reading a review or walkthrough feels more like doing some research.

Let’s see if the physical disc once said anything about needing an online connection for single play. Oh look, it did not, the subscription required was only for 2-8 players network play.

Let’s compare with Destiny 2’s back cover, a game that is a MMO and thus “cannot be owned” by the players. Hey, a “Online Play (Required)*” sticker that is not present on The Crew! The fine print has a bit that states that “Activision makes no guarantee of regarding availability of online play or features, and may modify or discontinue online services at its discretion without notice.”

FF14 also had a “Online Play (Required)*” sticker on its back cover. It clearly states on the rectangular bit above the T Rating: “Users are granted only a limited, revocable license and do not own any intellectual property in the game or game data”

You deceived consumers, Ubisoft. “Online Play Required” is not there, so the game should remain playable offline.
