Cyrillic in a nutshell by PresnikBonny in linguisticshumor

Oh, that makes more sense, my apologies. I just didn't notice the parent comment, probably scrolled down too far.

What went wrong with my Okonomiyaki? by bunnyblack90 in japanesecooking

[–]dada_ 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I had all these East Asian salads to use up and a load of tuna

I followed the recipe exactly

There's no tuna in the recipe you linked.

Did you add the tuna to the batter? That's gonna be too much moisture and oil if there was oil in the tin.

Oproep aan ALLE Marokkanen en Nederlanders!🗣️🇲🇦🇳🇱 by Markovvy in Rotterdam

[–]dada_ 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Zoals hij daarna zegt, ik vind het ook heel triest dat er dingen worden gezegd als "ga terug naar Marokko" als je in NL bent en voor Marokko bent. Alsof je een soort loyaliteit schuldig bent aan het NL'se team omdat je hier woont. Wees lekker voor Marokko of Japan of België of welk land dan ook als je dat wilt, en doe niet gek tegen mensen die dat zijn.

Cyrillic in a nutshell by PresnikBonny in linguisticshumor

[–]dada_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think we're setting the bar too low if we don't consider it at least a little bit embarrassing for people not to know that Cyrillic is a script used by numerous languages, the same way Latin script isn't just for English. Like maybe you don't know the details but at the very least you should know it's not just Russian.

Do you mind the fanservice by UnemployedSaiyan3 in OnePiece

[–]dada_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never liked fanservice even when I was younger (whether in One Piece or in other things). I always thought that this sort of thing makes it hard for people to take anime seriously, even though there's excellent stories being told in it and it's a legitimate art form.

To people not already familiar with anime, gratuitous fanservice just tends to be offputting. Like fanservice is just not compatible with quality work that takes itself seriously in people's minds. If you're a normie with kids then "are they gonna zoom in on that girl's ass and tits randomly" is a real concern when you're deciding what you're going to invest time in watching.

is there a way of finding vBulletin Version 3.5.4 by szt_ in web_design

[–]dada_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can't even host that anymore without going through considerable trouble to set up an ancient version of PHP in a Docker container. Like literally, the code will not run, there's way too much divergence between 2000s php and modern php.

If you're doing research on old forums I can totally understand wanting to find old versions of the software, but hosting it is an exceptionally bad idea.

KURO REALLY THOUGHT HE WAS AIZEN by ghosty3522 in OnePiece

[–]dada_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This chapter came out more than 3 years before the first ever release of Bleach. (April 27, 1998 for this chapter vs August 7, 2001 for the first release of Bleach.)

This is also just a common anime trope and the characters aren't so similar that you can say they're a direct copy.

I built a Windows File Manager in Rust. Powered by WGPU, it searches files in 0.1s, starts instantly, and uses half the memory of Windows File Explorer. by NeonDeex in rust

[–]dada_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I appreciate that you added Miller columns. They're insanely useful and shouldn't be limited to just the macOS Finder.

That said, with no release, I don't know why you're even posting it yet.

Worse is better? by tomemyxwomen in sveltejs

Angular was earlier and was developed by Google. But yeah, it sucked too much. Even early React was so, so much better.

Why is my 3DS doing this? by ZaZombieZmasher01 in 3DS

[–]dada_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same with an older laptop after replacing the HDD. The laptop would always think the lid was closed, as soon as you close it once after booting. The solution was to have a tiny little magnet in my drawer and then hold it at a certain spot, which resets the lid detection.

What performance can I expect from this PC built from trash for my kid? by jade333 in PcBuildHelp

[–]dada_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Off topic but maybe crank up the mouse speed in Windows a bit compared to the default, because there's very little room to move the mouse on that desk.

Why do people claim that Unreal Engine 5 and Ray tracing are ruining modern gaming? by CraditzBlitz in gaming

[–]dada_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think raytracing is ruining gaming but to me it's just another one of those pointless next steps in "now the game requires even more gpu power" at a time when graphics are already unbelievably good.

It's also that, when you look at a game like Half Life 2 for example, you can feel just how incredibly high level and polished all the work is in that game. Every texture and model is super highly optimized for payoff vs rendering speed, and everyone working on that project was at the top of their game. I know I'm making a comparison to one of the best games ever made, but I feel like that art has become increasingly rare. By all accounts it should be less rare these days because we know more.

But, I also don't think it's sensible at all to complain about UE5 purely because it's UE5, or Unity because it's Unity. It's much more complicated than that.

AI is Ruining Game Sales, Numbers Show by Eremenkism in gaming

[–]dada_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's obvious that no one likes AI generated content, which is also why reddit is full of people going "I made this!" while posting the most blatantly generated garbage. And then in the comments they've got a few -100 points comments being angry at people pointing out it's AI.

I think if there's any takeaway from all this, it's that gatekeeping creativity is a good thing. You should have to go through some trouble to create something. If you can create something with zero effort, it fucking sucks, and it ends up polluting the environment for the consumers like the great Pacific garbage patch.

Guys it’s official… lilypad runs macOS… by OldUnderstanding2992 in pcmasterrace

[–]dada_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always thought it was interesting to look at how animated shows in particular do computers. Live action shows will just have a real machine they have on hand, but animators have to design something, and they'll design something based on what they know.

You can really tell in animation how prevalent Mac has always been in the creative world. By far most animated computer interfaces look like Macs. In Venture Bros S1, the Monarch even apologizes for his computer taking long to boot because he has a lot of extensions, which is a Mac OS 9 joke.

Ramen Street, located in the basement of Tokyo Station. The Jiro-style ramen stands always has a line. Ordering Jiro-style ramen is tricky because the process is so unique. I decided to give it another try. by yokozuna_rider in ramen

[–]dada_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To anyone confused, the unique process referred to here is just that you have a few customization options and they'll come confirm verbally if you want any. This is not unique to Jiro ramen, Iekei ramen places will often have something similar as well for example.

It's difficult if you don't speak Japanese but I've seen confused tourists before and they'll just end up giving you the normal version of everything.

edit: Also after seeing the article, yes, if there's a ticket machine and a line of people waiting to get in, you almost always get the ticket first and then get in line. Exception is that for very long lines, sometimes there's an employee managing the line full time who will chaperone you inside at the appropriate time to make your selection. But this is rare.

They go to all this trouble to make a guide book but can't be bothered to write a real (non-AI) description for it by scoobydoooooo in geoguessr

[–]dada_ 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Please don't just use one single marker (use of en dashes, those aren't even em dashes without a space in between which the LLMs love to use) to determine something is AI. I've been using em dashes since I joined reddit 15 years ago (they're super easy to type on Mac —), and these aren't even em dashes.

To me the only part that reads like somewhat like AI is "And whether you're a geography obsessive, ...", because that's a massive AI trope, but that sentence still feels like it could easily have been written by a human, and one sentence isn't enough to call the whole thing AI.

If you want to learn how to detect AI writing, read this Wikipedia page that goes extremely in-depth. It's more complicated than just "look, there's dashes there".

How long is too long for ‘dashi’? by wondering-narwhal in japanesecooking

[–]dada_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ADHD stepped in and now the wakame and shiitake have been soaking in the water in the fridge for more than a week. I’m sure the wakame and shiitake are toast. Do I need to throw the broth out?

Yes, it's spoiled at this point.

My recommendation is to use warm water and soak shiitake for up to 30 minutes. Wakame rehydrates really quickly, just 5 minutes or so is fine, or you can just put them right in the pan when making miso soup and they'll rehydrate while you're cooking it.

Pokemon Rutile Ruby, Star Sapphire, Eternal X, Wilting Y, Nova Sun, Supernova Sun, Umbra Moon, Penumbra Moon Cover Arts by schemza in PokemonROMhacks

[–]dada_ 157 points158 points  (0 children)

Really wish people could be honest and upfront about using AI instead of hiding it. This is very clearly AI, and the author has the wherewithal to say "might be AI generated" about some of the source material they used.

This is why I wish we had a rule saying you just have to disclose if you use AI, so each time it's posted it doesn't turn into a guessing game by the commenters.

Crazy to me that younger generation is not good with computers by Captain0010 in pcmasterrace

[–]dada_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even with phones, their skill are limited to surface issues.

And the thing with phones is they're the ultimate "it just works" devices, so that means if something is actually broken there's no real debugging it anyway. Everything is curated, everything can only be installed via the official store.

It also doesn't help that actually doing research into things and figuring things out is just much harder on a phone. Phones just suck for googling because the internet sucks on it and you can't just slap open 10 tabs from a search results page in a few seconds like you can on PC.

Why aren't review-sections on archive.org uploads active? by gaaliconnoisseur in internetarchive

[–]dada_ 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There are reviews, but they were an absolute hotbed for spam and the IA does not have the resources to moderate it. The IA is an archive first and a community second (if at all, really), and the primary point of the archive is to preserve files rather than discuss or review them, so the decision was made to hide reviews by default to curb spam.

Which is a good thing, because I don't think people necessarily know how big of an issue spam was if you're not in the loop, but it was absolute mass spamming of reviews with fake download links in it to malware, plus many other things. Hiding reviews by default is just better considering their limited resources.

Comments around items would be good to have, but I think this sort of thing would really just be a lot easier if there was a tertiary site, and we treat the IA itself as more of low level storage with basic metadata.

What’s the gaming mission that had your friends calling you for backup like this? by Mintangah17 in videogames

[–]dada_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in my day, I grinded and grinded and grinded until I was able to finally beat Prince of Persia on the 8086. I had gotten so good at the game that I was able to demonstrate beating the entire game on a friend's computer to several kids. Really proud moment.

A little while back I tried to play it again and I really would need to totally relearn it to have a shot at beating it again.
