Also a programmer. This is true with the exception of JVM languages, which can sometimes place a burden on the user of an application.

Does it have known side effects? Like creating the urge to create insane social media posts praising a religious entity that is of a different religion than the one they pretend to follow?

The mouse was the rolly ball kind, and you hoped that you were assigned a computer where it still worked properly, or you could arrive in time to grab one where the mouse still worked. Or, if your lunch period coincided with the lab class lunch period, you came in to swap mouses with the bully in the senior class.

Yeah, you could do the thing where you remove the ball and try to clean it, but that only works so much, and for so many times

770,000 fewer children eating is beneficial to the oligarchy. (Even more disgusting, that is precisely why it is happening.)

Do you mean help for STS1 or STS2? I think it differs b/t the two.

Some general rules of thumb I've picked up from Baalor...

Neow bonus should help you get past the first elite. e.g. if there's no merchant before the first elite, don't take the 150 gold (as an example).

For STS2: Underdocks, prioritize defense, Overgrowth prioritize damage.

For STS1: Take card rewards that help you beat the first elite. Namely, prioritize damage over skils for G-Nob. Also AoE, in general, for lower level floors to help get past sentries and other normal fights that have multiple enemies. And "big" block cards in lower level floors, like Equilibrium.

Try to avoid taking multiple high-cost cards in the early floors, unless you happened to have taken a Neow bonus that gives you extra energy.

Frankly, the cybertruck depicted in this cartoon looks better than the ones I've seen IRL

The subreddits I watched seem to be as busy as they always were, and the corresponding communities on Lemmy are mostly devoid of activity. Frustratingly, I'm still getting reddit links from my friend, which I leave unopened. Maybe Reddit took a hit in terms of users and post quality, but I'm growing increasingly skeptical that a mass migration is going to happen.

My X220 and T520 each have 16GB. The designed max was actually "only" 8GB, but it turns out 16 GB actually works. I replaced the RAM modules myself without asking Lenovo for permission. Those models came out in 2011.

Looks like my current Zenfone running LineageOS is my last Zenfone.

I still buy music CDs and rip them to mp3s. Then I sync my Music collection to the various devices. I even sync it to a USB stick that plugs into the car. I don't have Spotify; I have Strawberry.

My dad was tricked with the "cat litter box" made-up moral panic. SMN has an episode on it (can't remember which one), but some people are too far gone to admit they've been deceived by made-up fox news.

He's probably been out of the public eye because he's undergoing a heart plant surgery, sourced from one of his concentration camps. Yeah, a horribly dark thing to say, but it doesn't seem as far fetched as it would have been 8 months ago

I wonder if that's what all the banned subs thing was about. Maybe "some content" = NSFW subs

For desktop? Ubuntu is one of the worst and slowest desktop distributions; nobody should be paying for that.

If I had a nickel for every time Drumpf told the truth, I'd now have a nickel, which isn't a lot.

Globulation2 brings a new type of gameplay to RTS games. The player chooses the number of units to assign to various tasks, and the units do their best to satisfy the requests. This allows players to manage more units and focus on strategy rather than on micro-management.

It's actually quite old and has gone through stretches of inactivity, but appears to be kept in working order in its git repo, and recently has been getting maintenance patches.

Or, worse, Xitter. My self-described "liberal" quasi-activist friend kept sending me Xitter links, even after the double salute incident, despite expressing my feelings about that shithole. Not a path I can follow on

Numpad or no numpad? The choice is yours.

Was this a feature of the previous generation? This is really cool! Framework has settled the numpad debate.

Dvorak since Dec 2010. Between semesters, I was just checking it out, not planning to stick with it at all. But, I really liked it, so I spent the rest of the semester break learning Dvorak and never looked back.

I met another dvorak user at work. I made a git commit that was meant to eventually be squashed with the message aoeu, which apparently gave me away. My coworker then asked me if I typed in Dvorak; not immediately recalling the commit message, I was quite astonished; how tf did you know that? Turns out, he typed in Dvorak too.
