“I’m apolitical” == “I have political opinions that are too extremist even for political parties”
I know Gnome is in your less important list, but Wayland is in your important list, so I’ll recommend KDE Neon. It’s Ubuntu without snaps and moronic auto updates, so it really just feels like a more desktop-ready Debian
the concentration of assholes is always going up
True, but this isn’t a natural phenomenon, it’s a result of engagement-based ranking algorithms. Assholes attract engagement by starting flame wars and the like, so front page algorithms push them to the top.
Before social media, forums were popular and their sorting was simply by most recently updated. I think this is part of what made the internet more fun: instead of websites trying to guess what you would like most, you were given a practically random, diverse view of everything.
Warzone, COD’s battle royale mode, is free to play and seems to have surpassed normal COD multiplayer in popularity. Talking to randos while playing normal COD multiplayer, a lot of people say they’re just playing it because it’s a quick way to level up their guns for use in Warzone
Can anyone recommend a documentary on the history of colonialism in Ireland and their fight for independence? We didn’t learn about this stuff in American public school since we were busy covering our revolutionary era 8 times over
Lots of people ITT complaining that Lemmy is blanket anti-business, meanwhile I’m just surprised that something involving Nintendo isn’t being downvoted into oblivion
This place is getting more diverse, I like it
Sort of, if you’re writing a research paper or presentation or something like that with a lot of math in it, you can use Latex (for the whole thing, not just the formulas). It’s 10000X better than writing the same stuff in Word, especially if you know how to code
Yeah, even in that sense… the irony
Ok I’ll stop being a prick 😂 if you haven’t used Latex before, you do write source code that gets compiled into PDF/PPT/whatever
You’re welcome, you caught me at a good time lol I’m currently playing through the series (currently on Tooie) after not touching them since childhood
Usually, the N64’s C-buttons get mapped to the Switch’s right stick, which is actually perfect for these games since they mainly control the camera and aiming
You don’t compile a book
The irony
Is Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts and Bolts a good representation of the series?
Definitely not. While I do enjoy Nuts and Bolts, it’s like they took all the good aspects of the N64 games and thought “ok but what if cars?”.
Or is the original Banjo-Kazooie (or its sequel) so good that I should look past the age of the game and give it a go?
Definitely yes. The official N64 emulator on the Switch has Banjo Kazooie and I think it’s a great way to play it. The controls translate to a Switch Pro controller pretty well and the graphics look nice, except for the text dialogue.
RetroArch with the Mupen64-Plus Next core and the ParraLLEl plugins also run Kazooie & Tooie without issues
Contrary to what CNN says, 4chan is not an alt-right community. In fact, most of those idiots have left since 2016.
If you give it a chance and check out a range of boards, you will find it’s fairly diverse. Like any other online community, it comes down to finding which boards suit you best
Idk if this has been proven, but I’m certain that the current desktop versions of Office apps are just Electron-style wrappers for the web versions. I switched from Windows to Linux about a year ago and have found the web apps to be perfectly sufficient
Audiobooks from your local library 🤓
The dual stage triggers made the Steam controller the dream controller for Rocket League IMO. Mapping boost to the second stage freed up my right thumb to control other things
There are different kinds of infinity
“Countably infinite” means an infinitely-large set of numbers that could be generated by infinitely following an algorithm with a finite number of steps. For example, natural (positive whole) numbers are countably infinite because they could be generated by following this simple algorithm:
The set of real numbers, on the other hand, is uncountably infinite because you can have an infinite number of digits after the decimal place. You can’t define a finite generation algorithm like the one above simply because any precision you use wouldn’t cover the full range. In other words, if you wanted to modify the above algorithm, and chose 0.1 as your starting number, your algorithm would miss 0.01. If you chose to start at 0.01, you would miss 0.001, and so on

PC games, just don’t feel like making arbitrary code execution a cakewalk for internet strangers
I mean, sue you is also pretty great
Probably once Intel decides to buy ARM so that they don’t have to compete anymore
