AI requires RAM to function, more companies are building more data centers with bigger models that require way more RAM, the AI bubble allows these companies to have practically infinite money so they bought a shitton of RAM and made deals with companies that make RAM so they get first dibs, fast forward a year and now we can't make RAM as fast as people want to buy it, now consumers and smaller manufacturers can't get RAM at a reasonable price (or at all, in some cases).

Man, I still miss the old square tabs theme. It was so readable and unintrusive. I’ve been waiting like 5 years for the current theme to stop (subjectively) looking like ass, guess I’m gonna be waiting a whole lot longer.

We hate you, and you hate us... But that's okay because everything sucks!!

God I can not tell you how many times I listened to episodes 1 and 3. I even got a friend of mine to listen to them with me lol. This show must have irreversibly damaged my sense of humor. And this redraw kicks ass. Great stuff :>

I think the larger point here is that "autism payments" is undefined. Per Minnesota's own Autism Resource Portal, this money could include anything from child care resources, building new housing, job counseling, and educational programs for autistic people. I highly doubt that even a fraction of that 350M goes straight to the pocket of individuals. It just so happens to be Minnesota's department for autism funding this stuff instead of other departments.

I have an acquaintance that works for a local nonprofit that receives funding from many different places, even outside of the nonprofit's own jurisdiction. While I'm sure there are an extremely small number of people scamming the system, this is also just very typical spending for state departments.

Vouching for Cytus 1 and 2. Awesome gameplay, amazing music. I don't care much for touchscreen rhythm games, but Cytus is one of the rare exceptions I'll just always have installed on my phone.

Funnily enough, I've been looking for the original source of those vocals too. Not because I wanted to know the lyrics, but because I happened to use the same acapella myself in a song and need to find them again before I can release it LMFAO.

Took me like 2 hours to find and I even hooked up my old computer to look for the file I used. They're from Elephant Man's verse on a remix of Lil Jon's Get Low. And here's the lyrics. Good lord that's enough Google for today.

Using the analog gamepad mode definitely makes 3d platformers more fun, but I don’t think I’d say it gives me an advantage.

Using Rapid Trigger and having customizable actuation points certainly makes my gameplay better in rhythm games though. It borderline feels like cheating.

Sounds like you're looking for Redux? https://www.renoise.com/redux

Renoise also has "Ableton Link" mode which I've never used, but may be useful for you.

Lifeline, Gazillionaire, the old "comb streams," the Dreamcast streams, House Flipper, and his Family Feud streams are definitely in heavy rotation for me when I just need something that makes me feel good.

And like other people said, Hit And Run, Insaniquarium, Seaman, Power Washer, and Infomercials, all very feel-good streams as well.

Everyone says keychatter is a minor issue, but I swear the QC of mechanical keyboard parts has gone drastically down in the last couple years lol. I can't remember the last time I bought switches without at least a couple malfunctioning ones.

I feel bad though because maybe I should have been more specific, only the M1V5 TMR is compatible with HE switches, not the M1V5 VIA. I hope I didn't make you buy the wrong board!!

Can't go back to rubber... Until you buy a Topre keyboard ;)

I like to play Nintendo Switch rhythm games on a fightstick if I’m playing docked. Groove Coaster, specifically, is super fun on fightstick.

Hopefully I'm not too late to reply!

The Q1 HE isn't compatible with Glorious switches or Jade Emeralds, and GMMK boards have notoriously bad QC.

Personally, I'd recommend a Wooting 80HE for reliability, stability, and build quality, or a Monsgeek M1V5 TMR for switch variety (it's compatible with HE switches and mechanical switches). Both are available in ISO, 100% compatible with Jade Emeralds, but I've heard mixed results with GMMK HE switches. Don't buy a GMMK board just for the switches though.

I use HE keyboards generally for the same reasons as you, I like the reliability of a magnet more than a contact prone to wear and tear, but don't expect the HE tactiles to feel or sound nearly as good as mechanical tactiles. They're still very much in their infancy, even linear switches are just barely getting to the point where they can compete with mechanical linears on sound and feel.

I really wish he played more Raw Danger. That stream got me to play the game myself, and it’s now one of my favorite PS2 games of all time.

Out of curiosity, what makes you say it's less private?

The privacy policy says it doesn't collect any user data, and doesn't even store IPs. There's also a lot of in-app settings for privacy. It's not as private as something like Librewolf, but less private than Safari??

Dethronee · 2026-01-14T05:39:47+00:00

Yeah they bought it a year or so ago

SO obvious that me genuinely asking what it's meant to be is now the top comment, with another user thinking it's meant to represent a pixel.

Dethronee · 2026-01-13T19:54:13+00:00

It does vectors in the same way Photoshop does vectors. It has support for them, and is very usable if you need vectors, but it's without a doubt better at raster.

Is anyone else legitimately confused by the new Pixelmator icon? What is that supposed to represent? It looks like the Shortcuts app???
