  • I was not aware of this!

  • You would also need a type A to type B ethernet cable, AKA a crossover cable.

    Without that you will need some sort of switch to act as an intermediary between the two devices.

  • Human beings are bioluminescent.

    We glow so faintly that we can't see each other in the dark but we can be picked up in the dark by sensitive enough equipment.

  • Most personality tests will not tell you anything about yourself that you didn't already know, it will not give you any insights into the correct way to live your life or what is going to work for you.

    However, it can help you frame things about yourself in a new light or to help you come to understand the way that you work inside of a larger social picture.

    So they don't work to tell you who you are, but they help you be who you can be.

  • How are you going to make any money then?

    Answer: paywall their fucking site.

    I'm paying for Internet access. If they don't block their site it's free game.

  • I'm of the opinion that everything that gets passed off as a meme isn't necessarily a meme. Sometimes they're just funny pictures. (Actual humor content may vary)

    Memes should have something to do with a commonly understood phrase or thought in the culture and highlight those.

    Of course, with enough push those funny pictures can become memes but ideally they would start as a meme and then have comedy added to them.

  • Yeah they're following the IBM playbook of being the operating system that businesses run.

    I just wish they would take a hint and release a paid version that has none of the ads, none of the bloatware, and none of the bullshit.

    I feel confident that I could pay them just as much money as they would ever earn from mining my data and annoying the ever-loving fuck out of me and I would be happier about that.

    But since they won't do that fortunately there's things like Atlas OS.

  • Did you get your hypercube new in the store?

    Lucky! I found mine on the side of the road and I had to stuff all the strings back into it. Took me ages!

    Then I got like this dinosaur infestation I had to wipe them out with a fucking meteorite, and now I'm pretty sure I've got humans and I don't know what to do anymore.

  • Yep. It's my goal to be as unprofitable a citizen for our corporate overlords as possible.

    I want them to lose money by doing business with me.

    I want them to go bankrupt so that their future replacements can learn from their mistakes and not repeat them.

    If they choose to be user hostile, I'll match their energy and multiply it. Fuck em.

  • I wrote it out as if it were the spec script plot of a movie.

    Guys out with his friends watching the eclipse and all of a sudden some other guy walks up behind him puts an umbrella up and covers over the view right at the apex of the eclipse. He turns to look at that guy and the guy says don't look at the Sun. As soon as he says that all of the main characters friends suddenly explode in a puff of dust.

    The guy starts freaking out and then eventually they end up working their way back to the house as he has the other guy the angel explains what is going on

    It's the end of days. the eschaton. And the Sun is claiming every single person it can.

    This guy claims to be your angel. To prove it he shows obviously hobbycraft Dollar store wings and a Halo that's clearly being supported by a strand.

    The guy says that there must be something going on I'm going to look at my phone as they're driving around and right as he's about to open up the news the guy slaps the phone down and it says don't look at your phone.

    As someone who freezes the video should be able to see a picture of the eclipse on the phone, from a camera stuck pointing up at it and everyone who looks at it to turn it off instantly explodes

    Why did the angel save the man? Is the Angel actually an angel? What things happen?

    The angel says that the guy is not exactly the best dude in the world. And given that is the end of days this is the last chance you'll have to make everything right and the angel kind of goofed off a little bit so you know I got to figure out a way together to get him into heaven so that the angel also gets to go to heaven and to do that they've got to do some good deeds really fucking quick, well everyone that even catches a glimpse of a reflection of the eclipse Sun immediately explodes into dust.

  • Your powers of deduction are sherlockian and uncanny

  • I only have four fingers and a thumb but I have three penises and two vaginas and six titties.

  • I'm willing to compromise with the isekai setup.

    You're in a new world. There's magic and sword play and monsters to fight. You get some skills and abilities that give you a decent chance to survive. I'm perfectly fine with that setup.

    But what I want once you have been given that setup is an interesting world to explore.

    Interesting characters to meet.

    Actual challenges and hardships that have to be overcome by the main character.

    Real relationships with people that have their own goals in life.

    And character growth that happens organically given the constraints of the system.

    We have far too many Mary Sue protagonists who never failed anything and never do anything wrong and who have so much power and are just so kind and giving in every single way and everybody loves them and nobody could beat them even if they didn't love them.

    We have far too many villains whose entire character Arc is "hurr durr look at me I'm a villain".

    And for some reason when those villains get converted into sidekicks they always become comical parodies of their former selves.

    And finally, even in a harem situation, the main character should neither be asexual or a man whore. Let him have some feelings about the person he's with and not automatically fall into some unspoken love scenario with the women around him.

    If you're going to have romance at all in your isekai anime, let the guy actually have some preferences and pick one person and stick with them.

    Like I get it you've got to give people a taste of the familiar but the taste of the familiar is only to lure us in. Once we are in, you need to give us something new and strange and stressful and worrisome and make us doubt the outcome of the next series of events that are going to happen.

  • There is a small chance that it is on Disney Plus, but I don't have a Disney Plus subscription anymore so I can't verify, I just know that they purchased studio Ghibli.

  • I've seen it once, and I seem to be practically psychologically unable to cry, so rather than crying I walked around feeling like I was carrying a hundred pound millstone around my neck for about 4 days.

    It's a beautiful movie with every last single one of the studio Ghibli traits that you have come to know and love.

    But it's not a cartoon for little kids. I highly recommend that you watch it at least once if you haven't, just don't let your kids watch it until they are adults.

  • Pick!

  • You could also put on one man bukkake shows

  • My guess is that if you're going to start a MSP you can do that with Foss and probably have a lot of success as long as you've got the sales chops to get the contracts.

    Then you can funnel some of your customers money to foss well also increasing awareness and adoption of the better free and open source software programs

  • Most of the small to mid size companies that I have worked for would choose a larger more established system that costs more even if it offers less over a self-hosted one that they had to pay some sort of fee for.

    Is like this weird idea in the business world that if you're using Foss systems that it must be completely free, and that the reason why you are using it is because you are broke or cheap.

  • Tucker and Dale vs Evil.

    It's such a gem of a movie, hits all the right notes
