Another factor that seems to get ignored with mirrors vs cameras is depth. A mirror is still a 3D reflection and there’s usually enough depth information to judge distances pretty well. You lose all sense of scale and distance with a lens and screen.

Seriously. I have like 3 egg boxes. Can’t wait for all the Steam I could be putting in boxes.

Just roll up and open hackertyper.net in fullscreen. “This is going to be a bigger problem than I thought…”

What really throws me are their poses. They’re all in poses that you typically see them in from public sources. Elon smoking a cigar was probably part of the prompt, unless I’m unaware of something. Tim Apple even doing the classic stage pose.

It’s totally doable. I’m down to 0 Windows computers and my main gaming rig can play almost anything I throw at it bar the obvious caveats of anti-cheat and such.

I won’t lie and say it’s perfect. I definitely get more performance inconsistency on Linux, even though it’s overall faster compared to Windows. And I’ve had the odd game here and there that just didn’t agree with Proton, but those I just returned and played something else instead

Oh that sounds like a fun mental challenge. Here it is for quick reference:

Edit: after coming back to this a few days in a row, success! I can now trick my mind into spinning either way, including bouncing back and forth in a half spin. The human mind prevails!

Last one could be “look at photograph”

Blaming DNS is sort of like blaming phone numbers for calls failing to route. The reason it fails so often is because it’s almost exclusively a human-made lookup table.

POV: you’re reading Lemmy comments

I feel like if I’m pronouncing any Linux package for the first time, there’s some tongue-in-cheek “um, actually” trap hidden just around the corner for some self-righteous geek to correct you with a big smirk on their face because they get to feel smarter, which I used to be guilty of, but try to cut back on as much as I can these days.

It’s a fun joke at first, but I kind of got tired of it after a while, and just decided that politely educating in context and ignoring it otherwise feels way nicer.

I’ve never seen a Jonangi before, but they’re so pretty!

Yeah, I tried the same many years ago. Problem was that I had a super tiny car in a big city where everyone speeds all the time, so it never gave me a discount because I was always speeding and breaking harshly.

How can I be a smooth driver when no one else is? It also dinged me for driving at night when I was doing a volunteer job in the evening while my day job was WFH. Such BS.

Yeah, I figured all the parts talking about losing files were jokes. All the new guys know about unrm. Also useful is ssh root@[remote] unshutdown

I certainly don’t discuss the movie after and enjoy the shared immediate experience of the details being fresh of a movie that none of you had seen before. All these decades of people watching movies together just don’t make any sense… 🙄

Same. Mint was at the start too, though.

Ah, I saw this and was thrown off because I grew up on a farm where the hose was used for everything. In thinking about it, my better judgement wouldn’t consider drinking from the hose I keep at the apartment for a second, even if I’d been using it all day 🤢. That sits for months at a time gathering who-knows-what.

I used awk for the first time today to find all the MD5 sums that matched an old file I had to get rid of. Still have no idea what awk was needed for. 😅 All my programming skill is in Python. Linux syntax is a weak point of mine.

I dunno. I feel like the fact that it’s able to reliably simulate 10^[1] particles in realtime since the beginning of time, I’d guess it’s not running on Windows at least. But I also have a hard time it’s Linux because someone would always be messing with things and it would have needed to reboot for some reason or another about 6 or 7 times. Maybe the 7 days God spent building Earth was just time spent on building the server config lol.

😢 AOKP was king. I miss all the extra silly features they packed in. You could make it look almost nothing like Android by the time you were done.

It is my most treasured movie. I paid $120 for my Blu-Ray copy in new condition and don’t regret it one bit. They’re still going for $80+, even used.
