English is nothing if not a bastard child of way too many different languages and has inherited and then changed their pronunciation rules. English pronunciation will never make sense.

If by “no one” you mean the same people who keep motion smoothing on because they don’t notice, yeah. Personally I don’t like fake information that balloons filesizes. The artifacts are obvious to me.

I’d put it down to a shit library or pseudorandomness before something happening that’s so lucky it functionally should never happen.

I don’t think the poster means that, I think they are drawing parallels to the flaws of gun anti-regulation to AI. Both arguments are bad is the point

It makes sense once you accrue 1000 hours on /g/ (10 years ago, it’s a much dumber place now)

Turns out most of my sensory problems have to do with my hair and my face. As long as I’ve had my coffee (start up metabolism and keep me warm after leaving the shower) I can stand 5-10 minute “body showers”. I also have music or YouTube running on my speaker and a heater running in the bathroom. I can FINALLY regularly shower, in my 20s. Washing only my body also doesn’t seem to feel like the transition that getting my head soaked does.

A lot of people are nervous to talk about hygiene, because NT people simply do not understand the struggle it can be for neurodivergent people, especially those of us on the spectrum. But I think it’s important so we can share our strategies, and shame about it just isn’t good.

Both sets. Also fuck it just make me my fursona. I don’t care what the implications are it’s gotta feel amazing to have wind flowing through fur

Yup, I’m sure THESE smart glasses will be the one that everyone suddenly loves. Yeah nah. But it is pretty funny to watch people learn why Google Glass failed again and again.

Honestly I just don’t like how HEVC compression ends up looking. It looks like everything has had noise added and then smoothed over, and I can always see it. AV1 or AVC are also my personal pics. AV1 for filesize and AVC for compatibility.

Hah, I remember seeing this one back when I got into the fandom! A modern classic

Yeah, Neelix has a lot of annoying times (and creepy in the case of Kes) but I definitely like him as the guy who’s smiling because he’s seen some truly terrible shit and just wants the people around him to feel comfortable in their situations. Neelix was written so many different ways in Voyager, it’s hard to totally like or dislike him.

I have Hydrus Network periodically scrape e621 search results using a plaintext list of artists I’ve just compiled over the years. As far as checking artists I like, e621’s design is so inherently poor for that that I just started following artists on different websites, particularly bsky and FA.

Do it again but with Emacs and it’s actually half accurate

This is getting into CG/L territory with some of the language being used.

That’s why I stick to skill games for the most part. I know I want to sink hundreds to thousands of hours into a game so I might as well be able to actually get good at something too and surprise or impress somebody.

I have an uncountable number of hours in rhythm games and plastic guitar especially. But I also like Counter Strike and recently Ring Racers.

I agree, I have absolutely 0 issue with patiently leading people through a process. Even if they’re a bit confused or unsure, as long as they are honestly listening and trying, I will try my best to explain things in a way they can understand. The thing that pisses me off is when people go all learned helplessness and try to get you to do it for them instead. No, I want you to try and learn it for yourself. If it doesn’t stick, I’ll patiently guide you again. Just try. Believe me, people of any age can “get” technology or refuse to learn. It’s a mindset

I will make an exception, and that’s when I’m dealing with people who literally cannot learn. If you have dementia or a severe learning impairment that’s a different story, usually those folks will have someone else who can learn for them though.

Yes, working in tech I’ve personally encountered this lots and it never stops personally pissing me off. It’s a facet of learned helplessness. It’s pretty clearly a way to get other people around them to do things for them. They probably don’t see it as manipulative but it is, albeit in a pretty minor way.

Honestly I think I like Java better than C++ because with all that complexity at least you get memory safety, actually readable errors, and portable code. C# is great but Linux support is spotty.

As an adult I’m asking nobody if I “may” use the bathroom. I might ask, “can I use YOUR bathroom” (notably not “may”) or say “can you point me to the bathroom” because I am a human being with a right to access these facilities (Americans need not apply).

Teachers who feel the need to get one over on a child are pieces of shit. It teaches nobody anything except “adults are awful”. Be nice to kids, you can fuck them up with something you don’t think twice about.

Python is the tradeoff between ease of development and performance. If you do things the “normal” way (aka no cython) your programs will oftentimes severely underperform when compared with something written in a relatively lower-level language. Even Java outperforms it.

But, you can shit out a program in no time. Or so I’ve been told. Python is pretty far from the things I’m interested in programming so I haven’t touched it much.
