The way college works is a scam in itself. You don’t need that much liberal art education. Four years and tens of thousands of dollars (sometimes hundreds of thousands) just to see if you can hack it in a job in your field? That’s insane.

Most jobs should be accessible right after high school in the form of paid internships. Programming is a trade, and most of the skills should be taught in high school. Not everyone needs to be a “computer scientist”, just like not every plumber needs to be a hydraulic engineer.

I’ve worked in a lot of programming jobs and zero of the people were what I would have called computer scientists. They were just coders who could write a conditional statement and a for loop. That gets the job done 99% of the time. (Obviously I’m greatly oversimplifying. My point is there’s no “computer science” involved.)

After a job in programming for a couple years, if you want to start working on the Linux kernel and write compilers, go ahead and go to school then and become a computer scientist. That’s so few people.

And then when there are no jobs hiring internships and computer science, you know not to focus on that. Do something else.

But big business hates this. They want everyone to prove in a gauntlet that you can work under super high pressure and tight deadlines that are totally arbitrary.

Your link is backwards. The text goes in the square brackets and the URL in the parentheses.

I’ve heard there are a lot of people who listen to PBS Space Time to fall asleep.

I always hated those names!

The raw pallette Nintendo video with NTSC filters looks amazing in RetroArch on a modern screen. It looks like how I remember. I’ll see if I can find a screenshot of mine later.

Eh, I’ll just show some from search results. Notice how the color bleeds between pixels, and edges have color artifacts.

Also, check out this amazing Game Boy filter!

I disagree completely. The pixel art Castlevania games on Nintendo DS look amazing! So many little details. It’s fantastic.

I think you got the nail on the head! Let’s call them spezes. Excellent idea!

I don’t mean the culture. Is that what you mean? I meant the software. The software itself is a clone of Reddit. It works nearly identically, except that it’s a federation of servers.

That why I said it’s a clone of reddit, and that why I replied how I did, because I thought it was silly that you would say otherwise.

As for the culture, I hope it never becomes reddit, but it seems like it’s too late. It seems I have to block some new shitposting community every day.

But I mostly spend my time in niche communities of nice people talking about Zelda or cats, and not about whether Lemmy is a reddit clone or not because that’s a really stupid conversation to have.

BTW, I think your reply was more rude than me saying “you kid yourself”, but whatever. I didn’t actually mean to hurt your feelings.

Orrrrr… maybe I just think it’s too many syllables.

Don’t kid yourself. Lemmy is 100% a Reddit clone. It was literally made as a replacement for Reddit.

Four syllables is too many.

Is wefwef even an app, or just a web page that you can “install” as a web page that opens without a URL bar?

I agree. So far it’s the best one I’ve used on Android. It has things like settings for font sizes.

UPDATE: I find myself using Liftoff more now. I couldn’t exactly tell you why. The only things it’s missing is an option to make the comment font larger.

It’s so fake that a picture of a lightbulb will get turned into the moon.

Lasagna! So effin good.

It’s something to do with the strict blocking in Firefox, and the provider that’s handling the signups.

If you use Firefox, try in a different browser.

Gohma was super easy. I walked into the room, let loose one arrow, and he instantly died! 😂

Nice! I recently played it, too. I also got every achievement on RetroAchievements.org in the process. Check out some of the achievements:

https://retroachievements.org/game/1454

Some are just “play the game”, but then you have to “beat” both quests without ever getting a sword. I use quotes there because you can’t beat Ganon without the Magical Sword, so the achievement is to get to his room. And there are some really hard one-room achievements like killing a bunch of blue Darknuts with only bombs, and killing each boss hitless. Gleeok was a pain in the ass.

Plus ones like beat the game with no deaths. You can actually die, but you have to hit Retry and lose all your progress since your last save, which means you have to save manually once in a while. I lost an entire dungeon and some rupee grinding from a death one time. Ugh. In all, I ended up beating the game about 5 times to get all the achievements.

At any rate, if you want to torture yourself, try to get them all! 😄 You just need an RA compatible emulator and an RA account.

Retro Achievements is a really cool service, and I feel like no one knows about it. I didn’t know about it until a Twitch streamer mentioned it.
