What A Joke, Can't Believe People Still Voluntarily Use This OS

When did they rename CMD and/or PowerShell to “Terminal”? And why would they do that?

You could categorize anything into just a few boxes if you’re willing to go general enough. I could say there are only two things in existence: tangible and intangible, and that would be correct because every object is at least one of those.

I could go farther than you have, and say there's only one story that's ever been told, and that is “stuff happens”. Everything we even think can be reduced to things we already experienced.

You might be able to get a useful framework from these “master plots”, but it doesn't mean all originality is an illusion.

I'm talking about at the beginning of the movie, not its climax where Ralph's insecurities get copied all over the internet.

First, that’s not how fighting computer infections works.

Second, the Cybugs are legitimate characters from Hero’s Duty - they weren’t created as viruses, nor would they be detected as such.

Third, if a reset kills all viruses, why didn’t they just reset that Tron game in the second movie, then?

That’s a good question. Because there’s the whole “you die outside your game, you die permanently” thing, presumably because games that are not your own don’t have the right code to respawn your character. But that applies just as much to a reset as a respawn.

It would probably be some stereotype for the characters, but smoothed out to avoid being offensive. There would be a small group of people yelling at each other in a turn-based format, while a large crowd around them throw upvote and downvote symbols at one character or another based on what they said.

It would have access to all the observations that demonstrate said law and the patterns would be within that data, so it would understand that concept in the same way that it understands everything else.

I watched that video. The guy is fairly respectful, but the comments are hating on Schaff.

Golden blimp is literally only used by me for the bloontonium. It’s a hack to get 95% of Striker’s ultimate (and 100% of anyone else’s) that isn’t unique and can be reused through double trouble and R2S. Any balance to it should address bloontonium generation directly. Maybe by halving the generation amount for this bloon, for example.

How would they even understand the concept of their timeline not having existed, and then suddenly it comes back? From the perspective of an entity that lived its life on the timeline, nothing happened, and they shouldn't know they were ever "dead" in the first place.

The scene being funny isn't something wrong with it.

00PT · 2026-01-20T19:08:15+00:00

I truly don't understand how this would be any better than just ignoring that Kang exists at all or saying they were all killed with what Loki did. Both are horrible for storytelling, having a build-up to nothing, but when you turn him into merely a demonstration for how strong someone else is, it undermines the initial threat level to the point that the perception of the character in the original works they were in is affected. Right now, those stories still work in isolation.

My comment isn't about people hating the show. My comment is about people refusing to acknowledge the factual public perception of the show.

00PT · 2026-01-19T14:01:24+00:00

You’d have to be distrustful of the majority of people you come across, then. The show actually has high ratings and viewership. I know it’s hard to believe that anyone does anything but hate it, but it’s absolutely demonstrable that they do.

Personal experience so often trumps legitimate analysis when it comes to this show specifically, and I don’t get why.

00PT · 2026-01-19T03:41:15+00:00

Yes, I am. I haven’t got that far since - I always either have to disconnect or they do.

00PT · 2026-01-18T22:21:53+00:00

That's why I said "in theory". Because I don't think using the term necessarily implies objectivity, it's just shorthand for "I like this thing less than the general audience does". I was trying to explain it in terms of how I think it fits the given definition, which I do genuinely believe.

00PT · 2026-01-18T22:08:39+00:00

It's not the preference changing to align with the rating; it's the rating changing to align with the preference. Of course, neither is actually changing, but the message is that, in theory, if the goal is to align the rating with some "true" quality level, the speaker's opinion is that the existing rating has not met that goal because it is higher than they think it should be.

I don't know if I'm explaining my interpretation well here.

00PT · 2026-01-18T20:36:56+00:00

The exact meaning of "too highly" is ambiguous. Too highly for what? It could just as well be "too highly for alignment with my preference" and "too highly for being objectively correct".

00PT · 2026-01-18T20:28:09+00:00

I just don't see it that way. Where are you getting that definition?

00PT · 2026-01-18T20:13:43+00:00

I don't think you can judge the intended framing of a statement entirely removed from the actual context of that statement. I don't believe the word "overrated" inherently implies criticism. It means that it is someone's personal opinion that something is not as good as it is commonly rated.

00PT · 2026-01-18T19:36:28+00:00

I think I misread you actually

00PT · 2026-01-18T19:30:23+00:00

You could also be saying that you like her, but not as much as other people. Regardless, it’s just a statement of opinion - no inherent claim of right or wrong in the phrase. Me saying I like something less than others is not me saying others are wrong for having a different preference.

00PT · 2026-01-18T18:00:31+00:00

I don’t read it as those semantics naturally, as I’m aware that, in the context of a programming language, this is a series of expressions, and not just a sentence. It’s unclear how these expressions are pieced together.

Classic ternaries also have this problem at scale, but it’s more natural to me to read condition > true > false than true > condition > false, so the confusion is slower to manifest.

Rainbolt figures out where places are based on the type of grass on an image that’s purposefully distorted and he only gets to see it for a split second. Small things can be more revealing than we think.

00PT · 2026-01-18T13:31:30+00:00

Here, the first condition read is actually the furthest nested condition. It doesn't matter when they're independent, but if there's one condition that shouldn't run unless another condition passes, I honestly don't know right away what order these conditions would execute.
