This is a cool fun fact, but it’s not really an interesting picture. Should’ve been posted in Today I Learned or something instead of Pics.

This reminds me of my “Linux island” city in Cities Skylines! I can get screenshots later, but basically there’s the main island of the Linux distros/districts, where the outer parts are more noob friendly and the inner parts are more “advanced”, with the nearby, considerably more crowded and poorer Android island consisting of various Android ROMs.

I’ve done that and it’s significantly better because of that feature. Speaking of, is it possible to migrate blocklists from one account to another?

I’ve been using Lemmy less because it’s so depressing. It feels like a majority of the engagement is with depressing US politics and a strong left bias (to be clear, I also hate the current government). Unlike most, I really like most of the nerdy tech content.

Which is why I’ve been lurking more on Hacker News lately, it’s tech minded forums with an appropriate level of politics and more nuanced takes. And as a bonus the interface even less bloated (in terms of resource usage) than any Lemmy frontend I’ve tried.

From my experience, the first 50-100 turns are kinda boring (unless you’re fighting barbarians) but things get more interesting when you have many cities and things to manage. The game takes a long time to hook me, but when it does it hooks me good. :)

GPUs will get more expensive as the VRAM will be diverted to much more profitable datacenter GPUs during the RAM shortage.

How do I do this?

But COM interfaces can’t pass exceptions, only HRESULTs. I don’t know how it was working in the first place if the setup was this janky.

Depends. Reasonable volume? Easily ignored. Blasting at max volume? Very inconsiderate, just use headphones!

I feel like it’s as much the number of libraries as the language. There are many bloated C/C++ applications.

Could you provide a link to the documentation? It’s strange that it’s so barebones.

I work for a company developing software for Windows and deal with COM all the time. How do you communicate across dynamic libraries and languages in Linux?

If you can get away with being car-free and using the bike for the longer trips around town, it’s cheaper than a car. However, since I have a 20+ mile commute to my job currently in an area where it rains a lot and can get cold, that’s a no-go.

If it takes so much effort to move the taskbar, why did it need to be fully rewritten in react native when everything worked before?

Because an LLM can generate a lot of (garbage?) code quickly.

Same with motorcycling, unless you get paid $13/hr to be an MSF instructor.

Bad article, the number of issues aren’t normalized to anything other than PRs. I expect AI authorized PRs to be somewhat bigger than a fully human authorized one.

I gotta see some pics of your megabases

In the early days it was the most complex, but then Pyanodons overtook it. I’d really like to try out Pyanodons someday when I have a more stable career.

Have you ever built a megabase in Bob’s and Angel’s?

6 or 7 runs of Bob’s and Angel’s? That’s crazy, why did you play it so many times? I gotta get back to attempting to build a mega base in my save :)
