0·5 days agoThankfully, I haven’t noticed excessive farting in Archie. But I still have questions. Is my cat farting more or less than a small dog, say, a Chihuahua? What do cat farts usually smell like? And at what point is some farting too much farting?

It’s also why I’m excited about the Steam Machine despite not actually owning or wanting one. It gives a consistent benchmark upon which game developers can be judged, and hopefully further encourages Linux support.
If reviewers start consistently referencing Steam Machine performance, it’ll give developers something to optimize for instead of just optimizing for the latest, fastest hardware.
10·5 days agoDocker helps with software compatibility, SBCs with hardware.
The advantage of SBCs aren’t just the price, it’s the uniformity. Before SBCs made it on the scene, the default response when something doesn’t work was either:
“Well, it works on my 12-year-old Thinkpad”
Or
“Your system sucks, just buy better hardware”
Now there’s a consistent system to build compatibility for and benchmark against that can help the most people, allowing devs to spend time on things other than hardware, and allowing a “how-to” community to flourish, bringing new users into the fold.
Please let Hegseth be the GOP nominee, dude is practically radioactive for abusing troops and being a key player of the economic nightmare we find ourselves in.
0·6 days agoIDK why OP used it, but if I recall Pepe lore, the original creator was not happy about it being coopted by racist trash humans, so they probably(?) would approve of this post.
I could also have made all of that up.
0·6 days agoSolar generated 2,807 TWh of electricity worldwide in 2025, 8.8% of the total.

Its taken us decades to get to this point and solar can easily do 5x that much generation without even thinking the word battery, and close to 10x with just daily battery backup.
Surely it’ll plateau any second now…
That’s what’s wrong with America, nobody naming their kids Strom anymore.
The office of the President has a press budget. They could easily give him a dumpster to shit in over at
whitehouse.gov, woulda made it harder to grift idiots though so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
0·8 days agoMy home loan is less than that and it already hurts to pay every month. With a second big loan, I’d have to declare bankruptcy.
Now if this is a gift of free money - I’d pay off that damn home loan so it’s one less thing to worry about. Remaining balance on the $1M would probably get invested in the hopes that I could push forward my retirement by a couple of decades.
0·8 days agoThis doesn’t at all answer your question, but Handbrake has always frustrated me by being aggressively opaque.
Like if you’re not trying to encode something to run on an iPod Nano from 2007, the presets are all arbitrary and wacky, and it gives you very little control over the underlying commands.
I GREATLY prefer StaxRip. It strikes the right balance for transparency, automation, and configuration for me. Closest thing to working with commands from scratch, without all of the headache. Only downside is it’s only built for Windows.
It works with Edge on Windows 11
El-Sayed Hates Jews and Hates Blacks!
… Is he trashing El-Sayed or is he trying to get his supporters to vote blue?
0·9 days agoHonestly would be a fun character build with the right DM.
A cursed rock that talks to you and demands sacrifices. After being thrown returns to your inventory in 6 seconds (start of your next turn)
Could do fun things like player can cast spells through the rock like a familiar.
It’s been a while since I studied etymology, but IIRC its original roots were associated with a sperm whale and a bowl of petunias as they fell from the skies.
SMS messages are broadcast in plain text often through multiple carriers’ networks and I find it impossible to believe they aren’t already processing them for a myriad of things anyways. Hell, 20 years ago they were storing them and including them in your phone bill. This is just one more filter to run them through.
PieFed.zip did a big password reset recently, so here I am with a fresh account. No regrets - these accounts are disposable. Karma is meaningless. Just post.
