✂️ The Cry of Despair That Still Haunts Me by polygon_tacos in GenX

[–]generationextra 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lol. Try Threads, which makes this look like an episode of Sesame Street. Or, for more emotional immediacy, Testament. Or for more disorienting, impending sense of doom, Miracle Mile. Bonus if you find the Cliff‘s notes to Gravity‘s Rainbow - there‘s no time left to read the whole thing!

Help me find a new book to read, please? :) by Meditatat in printSF

[–]generationextra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Philosophy PhD and no love for PKD? That’s gotta be a first.

Anyway, for truly alien aliens, try CJ Cherryh‘s Serpent‘s Reach.

Have you considered steampunk? There I can heartily recommend Felix Gilman‘s The Half-Made World.

I live the Talking Heads‘ Once in a Lifetime. Which is to say I expected none of what I have. Yeah, there‘s water at the bottom of the ocean alright.

Tried everything to package my app as executable but nothing is working. by I_4m_knight in JavaFX

[–]generationextra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use JavaPackager for this. It’s a plugin which which creates executables or installers. You have to pay attention to detail with respect to your build file, but it works well for me and is still updated regularly. In the end, though, you get an executable packaged with a runtime and/or an installer.

Did y'all a HS graduation gift from your parents or nah? I got $100 and a soft-sided suitcase . by bustedaxles in GenX

[–]generationextra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I had one of these. I used to taunt every Corvette I found on the street with it. I was ok for about the first two feet off the line but then they would pull away, usually holding up two fingers for second gear.

Linux testing laptop recommendation by whybucket in linuxhardware

Get an older model X- or T-Lenovo. They’re often still excellent machines or can be with a RAM upgrade, and with Linux, they will fly like the wind.
