Unironically at this point

I'd like to believe they mean on the next GPU you get, but not everyone can just upgrade their card. But if you can, dump Nvidia in the daily driver asap, as long as it's reasonable to do so.

Also, side tangent, but remember when the whole computer cost a grand? I miss those days.

How Vibe Coding Is Killing Open Source

Your node_modules directory can get so bloated that the community came up with different package managers just for deduplication! pnpm, for example, makes one global-adjacent cache, and then just symlinks the dependencies as needed. This is because the regular npm doesn't, because what if the package changed between the 20ms since I downloaded it for nuxt? (Sorry Nuxt users, had to pick a name)

subs > dubs

Well, I'm one of the people who went through a period watching the anime raw, so I see your argument there. But if you read fast enough, it's just, I don't know, you stop consciously reading, and just watch the thing. Also, especially with modern American movies, the sound mixing is ass for the home speaker specifically because they've designed it that way. It's easier to have the subtitles on, because they designed the soundscape for the theater (Christopher Nolan does it on purpose, for example) and stereo be damned, especially with dialogue.

That said, I've gotten out of pooh-poohing whatever way you want to enjoy your show; there's not enough time on earth to worry about whether Tara Strong or Megumi Hayashibara is the better VA (my vote's on Hayashibara, but Strong is my childhood, and besides, it doesn't matter).

I dunno, man; let people enjoy things, right?

You have no power here

The Win10 iso that I definitely legitimately purchased has a ppApps folder that has Photoshop in it; I've always just assumed I would be able to delete it from there.

If you don't have it portable-ized, though, Revo Uninstaller might help. (though I never used it for long enough for the trial to run out, so I don't know how much it costs)

Why is lemmy so political?!

Dude, Proton is so good for 2d gaming. I have, I think, 3X the number of Stardew Valley mods installed than when I had it on Win10. It's at the point where I am deciding on whether to downgrade my Windows SSD and just use it for firmware updates (though I might experiment with running the DualSense tool in wine, instead).
