  • On a somewhat related note, I saw a post on

    the other day saying "it's better to die young and give your money to your children and grandchildren than have it drained by the healthcare and retirement system"

    Except in the real world where non-lizardpeople live I'm certain most of us would rather have grandma as long as possible.

  • The chanlord alt-right sphere spending the last decade crafting (and then inexplicably dismantling) elaborate dogwhistles like okay signs and hawaiian shirts sure did a number on liberals. First they didn't listen, then they immediately started accusing the left of doing that, even though that really isn't our game what with our disdain for concealing our aims and such.

  • Could you knock it through and then build a new wall that looks identical but is on rails or wheels or something so if he comes back you can quickly put the wall back to normal before he notices? Maybe jam the door so you have more time.

  • But minetest already has feature parity with Minecraft, runs significantly faster, and is free and libre (which makes it significantly easier to write mods for). If you want to log into a server running a set of mods you just put the URL in and minetest fetches and installs the mods for you automatically. Instead of fighting the core devs, the mod devs could work with them.

  • Aside from whatever information was contained in the prompt, and what the AI "decided" to do with that information based on it's training, which can be something of a mirror don't get me wrong, that's the issue I have too. The point of looking at a piece of art is to have some thought conveyed to you, and when you look at ai generated nonsense you just come up empty. I fear this will make most of us eventually stop trying to see anything "deeper" and at that point it will have reached parity with human art, by fatiguing us until we give up.

  • The talents of the modding community run laps around the core game devs. Unironically the best thing that could happen for Minecraft is if everyone moved to something like minetest and started making mods for it instead.

  • Apparently I'm wrong and Pop_Os uses systemD-boot not GRUB, which is surprising to me because unless things have changed I've always thought of systemD-boot as being underpowered for a lot of use cases.

    If I'm reading the wiki correctly here, I think it's saying systemd-boot cannot launch windows because it's on another drive? https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/systemd-boot#Boot_from_another_disk

    But on the other hand it's interesting that it's able to "see" the windows partition so I might be completely wrong.

  • Well it's there at least. Hmm. I don't know a whole lot about windows but you can certainly get back to those boot options you saw before by pressing shift while booting, which will open the GRUB options. I'd give the windows boot manager another shot from there.

    If that ends up working you can change the grub settings to wait for input instead of automatically booting pop. If that doesn't work then something is probably wrong with windows and I would just try reinstalling since it sounds like you don't have anything on there yet.

  • Anyone know where to find that live action disney show clip where there's a Cuban family and a guy shows up in a Che Guevara shirt, then the family takes turns calling Che a murderer and a sadist or whatever for like five minutes, while the guy in the shirt is all "I thought he was just tshirt man I didn't realize he was voldemort thanos sauron i'm so sorry 😔"?

    As far as I can tell its been scraped from everywhere.

  • You aren't permitted to not own an android or apple smartphone with an active number and internet access. You aren't visible as an individual to corporations or even many governments without one. I don't see this getting better any time soon either.

  • This reminds me of one of the best bits from the Xanth novels, where the male unicorns peacock for the female unicorns by leaping in the air and landing horn-first in the ground, then see who can balance like that the longest.

    Which is second only to the part in the same book where the main character is taking a shit in the woods when a harpy shows up and he has to try to run away with his pants down, unwiped, while the harpy is shouting abuse after him
