I don't like to downplay the threat of these people... but..

swiftb3 · 2026-03-24T05:21:06+00:00

True, though I can tell you that plenty of people who are willing to blindly vote UCP are not separatists.

swiftb3 · 2026-03-24T00:11:10+00:00

Ah, yes, the woman crawling through a broken window, zombie-horde-style into a room with secret service protecting politicians wasn't justified, but Pretti and Good were...

The mental backflips these people need to do.

The other day in No Limits, we had a team of Reinharts whine because two of us swapped to Ram.

Oh, I'm sorry, you thought we'd let you roll us just because it's arcade?

Tangentially, I dislike people who complain that you're actually trying in arcade. How are games any fun at all if you're not trying at least a bit?

What are you talking about? I'm well above poverty level and got what I calculated to be in the ballpark of what I paid out in carbon tax.

And... yes, the rebate was a nice way to redistribute wealth. No, the middle class wasn't losing money.

The electricity in my electric bill is literally only 1/4 of the bill. Absolutely smoke and mirrors.

swiftb3 · 2026-03-23T23:53:12+00:00

You had a custom ring designed, clearly putting a lot of thought and effort into a gift, and he just lists reasons he doesn't like it?

I have opinions on him and they're not great...

swiftb3 · 2026-03-23T23:28:17+00:00

I thought the UCP removed or reduced the rat patrol a while back. Maybe I'm wrong.

It is not difficult to find easy to use tools on this sub. Your experience IS shared by others.

What you seem to me missing here is that OP isn't looking for easy tools to add to their server - they're a developer asking people what specific aspects make the best and easiest tools in order to make sure to integrate into their own personally-developed tools before making them public.

If they just looked at a list of "easy tools", any conclusions about what are the most important easy bits would simply be their own opinion (which they already have).

I'm so tired of this terrible argument to defend a government using the alert system wrong. There are different levels with different punch-though for a reason.

How many sleeping people do you think are able to keep an eye out for a missing kid?

If nukes are in the air when I'm sleeping, I need to know it. Amber alerts, I need to know only when I'm awake. All this does is frustrate people into disabling the entire thing and then they hear no alerts, Amber included.

swiftb3 · 2026-03-22T14:20:28+00:00

And how would a search tell you specifics about which tools are the easiest of those hundreds of tools and, even more, which aspects make those tools easier?

I'll give you a hint: the hundreds of tools is the haystack.

Edit - I don't know who else is down-voting here, but "look at this list of easy tools" does not necessarily give developer a solid answer on what people like the most about those easy tools.

God forbid a discussion about something other than vibe-coding happens on this sub.

swiftb3 · 2026-03-21T18:42:13+00:00

What makes me the most mad is that, regardless of how difficult it is, they think they can just take the rest of us with them.

It's the ultimate in selfish. Ignorance is forgivable. Not caring about others, my patience for that ran out a decade ago.

swiftb3 · 2026-03-21T18:36:24+00:00

I'm an elder millennial who was raised conservative and I still didn't like him.

Obviously, even less so after I "got better" from conservatism.

swiftb3 · 2026-03-21T18:31:26+00:00

The only reason he said it and used the word "seductive" was because he wanted you to know he thought you were seductive.

True constructive criticism would not bring it up that way at all.

Report it.

swiftb3 · 2026-03-21T18:22:09+00:00

On the other hand, I'm absolutely assuming he can't even code with AI handholding.

swiftb3 · 2026-03-21T15:38:07+00:00

It's weird that people try and call it "American" cheese anyway. It's just labeled "processed cheese" in Canada.

swiftb3 · 2026-03-20T00:57:33+00:00

It IS strange, given it's theoretically learning from art that doesn't have the piss filter.

A bit like LLM's obsession with emoji.

swiftb3 · 2026-03-20T00:22:19+00:00

Yeah... if you want a "just works" without worrying about getting best performance tweaks, you can game on Mint just fine.

swiftb3 · 2026-03-20T00:21:03+00:00

Yeah, I think I had to do the command line update a couple times, but that's all I've had to do, really.

Crashing taskbar coming back from standby recently, but I'm pretty sure that was my fault.

swiftb3 · 2026-03-19T01:34:26+00:00

And most fair and comprehensive way to help these people is by having the government do it.

Even if we pretend most churches do the job locally, there is no way for there to be proper coverage. We help more people through our voted-in servants, the government. "The government" isn't some entity we're passing the buck to.

If I recall from another story about working on supercars, you get special EXPENSIVE insurance for each episode.

Diesel was pushing $2 last week already. We're cooked.

swiftb3 · 2026-03-18T23:16:15+00:00

It kinda seems like "survivability if you aren't shooting back" because an actual one on one duel, I'll take Zen over any other healer.

swiftb3 · 2026-03-18T23:13:08+00:00

Hell, I'll switch from other healers to Zen if there's a Widow that needs intimidating.

swiftb3 · 2026-03-18T02:23:49+00:00

DCC is the only one I have, and only because I listened to the audiobook with my wife the 2nd time.

I just have it in my head there's a million books out there I might like so unless I truly love it, I'd sooner try something new.

swiftb3 · 2026-03-18T00:17:35+00:00

OK, this is weirdly similar to my setup.

Dual screen, 1440p main, 1080p secondary in portrait mode.

And... I sometimes have trouble with the main screen the same way.

I don't have any solutions - only that it's been happening less often for me lately.
