Why is Windows still bloated in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world
[–] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No because it is old software running on new hardware. Modern Windows comes with a ton if code so "old stuff" still works, it even favors bundling runtime cold for OLD frameworks rather than new in the installation. That's why you need to install modern. NET 10 etc after a new windows installation when installing new softeare, yet it runs old software out of the box. Companies aren't running dinosaur code on old computers, they're running dinosaur code on modern computers.

If i remember right, Microsoft said they're dropping support for a lot of the old .NET stuff at least, so we'll see if it happens and if companies get mad or update themselves finally

can I just get new games please?

I have heard this from multiple people even when I worked at a liquor store. That when you are on an upper or something that gives you speed that you cannot get drunk. Is this true? And how? in c/askscience@lemmy.world

you're actually only partially correct. alcohol is a stimulant when your BAC is increasing (like it does when you're actively drinking). it only becomes a depressant when your BAC is decreasing. pretty interesting and strange, and definitely something you don't wanna mix with medical stimulants!

They may not actually be referring to the state of drunkeness. alcohol is also an upper, and mixing two uppers is ill-advised

A new cooling technology freezes food without warming the climate in c/technology@lemmy.world
[–] FunnyUsername@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

cheaper refrigeration would DEFINITELY help this problem. the big issue with food waste is food spoils so quickly (especially produce and meat), so it makes more sense to toss it than try to find a big enough space that's REFRIGERATED because the food is usually free, no one wants to spend thousands preserving it. cheaper refrigeration would absolutely improve this scenario.

Minnesotans are modest but hard as nails. Don't bet against it.

hey so I'm feeling really strange about posting this because I for some reason have the idea in my head that if I share things I create and put them out there then I'm being annoying and forcing it on people so I'm just going to try to type this quick and hit send

I put together a huge library of ~13000-ish vintage games on over 40 different systems, and playing them at random. I'm not the best gamer, but I'm good enough (I'm in my 30s so I've at least played my fair share), to get a taste of the games and check them out. I really get into looking at all the forgotten pixel art these games contain and just being blown away by how many cool experiences that have been forgotten. I stream retro games at least once a week, so if something like this sounds interesting to you or anyone you know, please check me out! i'm not in it to make money i'll never beg for donations or anything like that, i am a content old fart who just wants to hang out and game.

thanks!

oh ya if youtube is more your style i dual stream there and keep my vod archive @crustyoldhuman cheers

edit: i can't figure out how to make my post link direct to my twitch and post my thumbnail for the retro streams, if my post is wrong please delete it and i'll try again i am just confused about this web form. i tried to delete my mistake posts myself but they still appear to be there, i never use lemmy on the web and am very confused vs the Voyager app

My experience with Walmart+ (lemmy.world)

What do you guys think about Walmart+? Service has good value, or just another way a company can suck more money out of consumers while providing the bare minimum of service and quality?
