There have been a veritable ton of amazing shows from Adult Swim that flew under the radar. My three favorite are:

  • Dream Corp LLC
  • Your Pretty Face is Going to Hell
  • The Heart, She Holler

I think you are right in the sense that this may be under the radar now, but this was a big hit at the time. Made the careers of all the people you list, plus Jessica Hynes. Fantastic show.

You might enjoy Black Books, if you haven't seen it. Another one is The Royle Family.

I think that there are more than ample options for non technical people, like Mint. I also don't think that those users are coming to Lemmy to stir shit, so it really doesn't make sense to me who makes these posts.

Like, are you unaware of the distribution model of FLOSS projects like Linux? Because of the lack of profit motive from selling licenses, development is funded and done by donation. Some is corporate sponsored, but not much.

When people piss and moan about the state of things, it just makes them look really foolish, because they don't know what has gone into getting it this far.

If you don't like the tool sets available, feel free to roll your sleeves up and organize a design team to change that.

It may seem hard at first, it's just that people are scared of the terminal. It's not as if widely used programs with fancy UIs aren't also complex.

I'm understanding of people who are just using their computer for web browsing and email, but I'm directing ire towards Windows power users who just expect certain tool sets to materialize for them.

Dude the only people expecting shit are the ones who get mad when they migrate to Linux and won't just learn a few simple tools to make their life easier.

Your package manager commands and options and some basic tools to troubleshoot local networking are really not that fucking hard.

Copy-pasting commands from search results instead of learning how the applications installed on their machine work. It's a lot deeper than skill issue...

This is not about intelligence. People, in general, are really fucking smart. Think of the dumbest person you know, who is not cognitively disabled. I'd bet they are intelligent enough to hold down a job and live a meaningful life. Of all the things I've seen that hold people back, lack of intelligence doesn't even rank.

I think high levels of bias are to blame. Current media and culture encourage the embrace of bias because it makes people easier to sell to; more suggestible to marketing. It doesn't matter how smart you are, if your navel feels good when someone sings your tune, you'll believe whatever they tell you. Especially if you aren't even making an attempt to understand your bias tendencies.

Danzig

John Lydon

Johnny Ramone

Are there any other the right can legit claim? I'm sure there are a few more, but this is all I can scrape from the top of my brain.

You aren't doing anything wrong, per se, but I will only use a garden to recover health if there is a sungrass plant there. The longer you wait around doing nothing, your satiety ticks down and more enemies spawn. They aren't hunting you down, they're just randomly running into you.

Garden invisibility isn't some big thing you need to leverage for success, imo. In my experience it's useful to lure an enemy or two into it opportunistically, but I wouldn't drag monsters from a far corner to it.

Yup. People under the age of 25 don't even understand files or directories.

iPhones and Chromebooks have abstracted everything away.

 

I'm admittedly yelling at cloud a bit here, but I like package managers just fine. I don't want to have to have a plurality of software management tools. However, I also don't want to be caught off guard in the future if applications I rely on begin releasing exclusively with flatpak.

I don't develop distributed applications, but Im not understanding how it simplifies dependency management. Isn't it just shifting the work into the app bundle? Stuff still has to be updated or replaced all the time, right?

Don't maintainers have to release new bundles if they contain dependencies with vulnerabilities?

Is it because developers are often using dependencies that are ahead of release versions?

Also, how is it so much better than images for your applications on Docker Hub?

Never say never, I guess, but nothing about flatpak really appeals to my instincts. I really just want to know if it's something I should adopt, or if I can continue to blissfully ignore.

 

That's fuckin it. I'm done with everything

 

CW: Carbrain out the wazoo

 

Streaming on Paramount+ now. Total trash with Troma vibes. One liners, decent chuckles, and plenty of shaky camera fight scenes. My first taste of Mahal Empire Productions.

Bonus points for worst fuckin line ever with, "What's up, my ninja?"

 
 

... And that grinds my gears, a bit

It must be considered solid terrain and not a hazard. I assume that this is treated like a physical feat, rather than a supernatural one, so the monk would get stuck in the web trying the dash through. The animation, however, uses the same as levitation, and you can levitate over the webs when levitating from a potion.

I interpret use of this animation of the monk "flying" as acrobatic flips and maneuvering to avoid traps or stuff on the floor. So is the web stretching from floor to ceiling? If so, why can you levitate through it? Seems inconsistent.

New record coming in September

 

I've recently picked up an Intel P4000 and I'm purchasing some parts to set it up. Since it's an older platform, I get that there are some limitations on what I can use, so I'm worried about buying things that aren't compatible.

I'm interested in installing a Dell Boss N1 Monolithic to run Proxmox in RAID1, but have some concerns:

  • Will it even work with my system board? Maybe my search skills suck, but I can't glean from the Internet how tightly controlled Server hardware ecosystems are. Would my mb even recognize a component like this, or the drives installed on it?

  • What drives work with it? According to the user manual, there are only three supported drives, and they have to be 480gb or 960gb in size. Had anyone tested using different NVMe M.2 drives?
