Our dislike of NFTs stopped that...

Dual GPU was meant to be the next big thing, and that went.

VR was meant to be the next big thing, and its hanging on a thread.

NFTs was meant to be the next big thing, and that's gone.

AI was meant to be the next big thing, and I believe it will fade as well.

I like the idea of you bringing your record player and records into the shower with you. (Is there a community here simalar to vinyljerk?)

I actually got to send that type of email to my boss.

Students set fire to toilet paper in the bathrooms. I emptied my water bottle onto the still glowing embers, took some pics, and tried to phrase my email to as close as to the show. (Don't think anyone got the reference, but I had laugh)

I met 2 (or at least they looked like they did).

1 was a pastor of a local church, which didn't have a set location. (No tithe collections either). Every week they would go to someones house or a community centre for their service. For me it looked like they chose being a Christian vs acting like one.

The other was homeschooling his kids from a trailer out of town (which looking back, might be abit TOO brainwash-ey, but the kids are gown up now and seem normal. So maybe he raised them right, or the kids grew out of it after school.

If you played Nier Automata, there's a line/concept about 'meaningless code'. The characters in the game are just androids. 1s and 0s, yet we care about the characters.

We are all just meat sacks roaming around, yet we still care about those meat sacks. I just met you as a username. A bunch of characters on a screen. Yet I'm treating that bunch of characters as a human being, and talking to them.

And if you like the odds of you exsisting, the graphic novel Watchmen also has a great chapter about that.

Wasn't the Iron Giant an alien? Not human made for profit?

I saw a pokemon encyclopedia at my cousins place. Started laughing while looking up Vaperon in the index.

Realised that I was possibly the only one in the household who knew about the copypasta.

I watched House of Dynamite over the weekend, but found no reviews/discussion about the movie and it's ending. So I'm opening the discussion here.

The whole movie builds up to the bomb hitting the country, but didn't show what happens next, or what was the next actions done by POTUS.

I know that there is possibly no right answer to what happens next (I can't think of another more satisfying way to end the movie) but it was still annoying. Building up all that tension to just cut to title.

I still loved the movie. Saw about half trailer in front of One Battle After Another, saw Kathryn Bigelow name, and kinda zoned out, excited by another movie by her. Didn't watch any more trailers before going in.

 

i opened reddit again today because silksong is finally out. went to see how the subreddit is going. (sadly, the silksong communities here are rather sane. r/silksong is still about 40-50% insane, but more sane posts are coming in)

front page is r/nextfuckinglevel. guy chopping wood uses a tire to keep the log upright to chop the wood easier.

i remember making a reddit acount because r/fiftyfifty and r/watchpeopledie. now its just advertiser friendly r/mildlyinteresting at best making the front page.

 

Curious if anyone has tried to stitch all the episodes, (cutting out opening and closing credits) into one ~15 hour long video. Might be impractical to watch that way but still an interesting idea.

 

It appears to be a serious video too. Lost brain cells watching it, so I don't reccomend

 

Cant wait for the day I can delete Discord and never look back.

 

1hr+ for a general update* (following the guide. Pre-kernel)

On a more serious note, gentoo is fun... On competent hardware. This is a 4 core Celeron N2940 with 4gb of RAM.

*emerge --ask --verbose --update --deep --changed-use @world is too long to type...

 

Im following the handbook, and I'm up to configuring the kernel. (In a vm. Skipping the optional installing firmware/microcode for now)

Trying for an OpenRC system, but it looks like all the steps need systemd.

All the videos I watched seems to skip this step and just go to Kernel configuration and compilation, but I dont want to a) mix old videos and up-to-date handbook, and b) blindly copy commands. I understood mostly everything untill now. Just this kernel step where I got lost the first time I tried to install gentoo.

 

On a more serious note, how does updating apps on gentoo work? I understand that everything is built on your system, but then if the app is updated, do you need to re-compile every time?
