It’s weird how unreasonably mad I get at the LinkedIn writing style. The pauses, the paragraphs, the “The lesson?” “The meaning?” “The result?” questions, always ending with “Here’s the truth:”
It hits some part of my primitive brain and makes me wanna smash some rocks
Forget about the BIOS for a second, try to bend the pins back into shape. You can do that by using a moveable light source, a thin blade and a mechanical pencil without the graphite.
Halo is long dead. The brand name is the one thing left.
Nintendo is quite clearly transitioning towards being a “Disney-style” media company.
They sell Mario, the character, not a Mario game. They want licensed plushies, water bottles, clock faces, theme parks, movies. And yes, a few games, so long as they have the characters in the safest most streamlined way possible.
Generative AI is profoundly dangerous to this type of company. ChatGPT won’t generate Super Mario 64 part 2 for you… But it can generate infinite amounts of shirts, mugs, funny videos, paintings, etc.
That really does not address my concerns, not one bit.
Let’s collectively fund an island where we can host Signal, Tor nodes and ThePirateBay in international waters.
While I wouldn’t wish this on anyone, it’s amazing how self-destructive this is. Greta is an internationally famous activist. Flagrantly violating and abusing a person with world renown - along with dozens of other activists - is a radically stupid way to hasten international isolation.
You’d be correct most of the time, but this is Israel we are talking about. They know there won’t be any consequences because claiming they did something wrong must mean you’re a nazi, and even if you get over that, daddy USA is there to protect them anyway.
Israel could livestream a soldier killing Greta and they would face no consequences whatsoever.
There are classical, “best of all time”, titles that an anime lover like you would defintely enjoy. They’re not available on Crunchyroll, they’re not on Amazon Prime, Netflix, you can’t purchase a copy. A few had selected censored releases in VHS, good luck hunting them down.
The thing with piracy is that it’s not just a money saving trick used by teenagers, it’s also the only way to truly watch the media you enjoy regardless of what some media conglomerate thinks - they no longer get to define how, when and what you’re going to watch. You have to do a bit of setup once… yes that sucks, but from that point onwards, you’re free.
Sociologists love making that claim, but it’s not true.
A long childhood followed by extremely experimental puberty is indeed a biological feature of our species.
There have been societies that suppressed childhood due to labor needs, but that came after many more had thrived respecting it.
Modern childhood is indeed new… Compared to western European tradition, not to our species as a whole.
No worries! I never found a true alternative to MusicBee, and there are several outdated tutorials about getting it run on Wine that technically work but leave you with a buggy app. The method I showed you works perfectly.
MusicBee works perfectly via Wine, and it’s a major part of my digital library. Without MusicBee my MP3 player would be worth 1/10 for me.
But you can’t just take the installer and double click it, you need to follow these steps (naturally replace the directories):
Install Wine Staging and Winetricks
Create prefix for MusicBee and .NET
Bash:
WINEPREFIX=/home/kadupse/Wine/MusicBee/ wineboot –init
Install .NET 4.0 and corefonts
Bash:
WINEPREFIX=/home/kadupse/Wine/MusicBee/ winetricks --force dotnet40 corefonts
Install xmllite and gdiplus
Bash:
WINEPREFIX=/home/kadupse/Wine/MusicBee/ winetricks xmllite gdiplus
Set Wine to Windows 7 compatibility mode
Bash:
WINEPREFIX=/home/kadupse/Wine/MusicBee/ winetricks win7
Install .NET 4.8
Bash:
WINEPREFIX=/home/kadupse/Wine/MusicBee/ wine $HOME/Downloads/ndp48-x86-x64-allos-enu.exe /q
Install Music Bee
Bash:
WINEPREFIX=/home/kadupse/Wine/MusicBee/ wine $HOME/Downloads/MusicBeeSetup_3_6.exe
Downloads needed:
This specific version of the .NET Framework installer
You might see warnings about WoW64 mode, experimental flags, etc, just ignore them and keep going and MusicBee will work.
Capitalism isn’t bad. It’s what humans do with them that is bad. Don’t be a greedy dick and they would all work fine.
Capitalism demands greed and infinite growth in a finite and resource-limited world. It’s inherently contradictory, regardless of your ethics.
A famous alt-right politician in Brazil was in a podcast once and said the quiet part out loud. He’s one of the main “next generation right wing” representatives and he said, live:
“… you know we are lucky the average Brazilian is too dumb, if they started reading and thinking they’d vote for the left, God blessed us with this idiocy”
His voters couldn’t parse this sentence and understand what he is saying.
I’ll just sigh and move on, not worth getting stressed out over a dumb reply online
Ah yes, great analogy. My computer with the operating system I installed and the files I own and want to modify certainly is the same as going to some strangers apartment and trying to buy it.
We don’t want to invade the privacy of… the software… right?
The set of primes and the set of integers have the same size, you can map a prime to every integer.
I don’t understand why society accepted that the hardware maker gets to decide what software you run.
That’d be like your car deciding which roads you can take, or your blender deciding you’re not allowed to use strawberries in your smoothie.
Are you nuts? Why the fuck would your phone decide which apps you can run?
I’ve generally found gnome users just use it

The first public demo of Siri back when the iPhone 4S launched is more impressive than most AI commercials.
Monkey’s paw curls. Wish granted: you will live for 10 to the power of 107 years, you’ll outlive every living and non living being, you’ll transcend mortal understanding, you’ll play with the flow of entropy - to see birth and death, hot and cold, to feel the final, guttering pulse of the last black hole as it surrenders its hoarded information to the void.
And you’ll have a little popcorn kernel stuck between your gum and a tooth during this entire time.
