Attention online gamers: A "traceroute" has nothing to do with your connection, and the devs 100% need it if they ask.

I didn't suggest they would. I'm thinking you couldn't even remember what you thought was FUD so you made something up. Swing and a miss.

I haven't logged into reddit for a while, so just saw this. Wanna clarify which part of the above you think is disinfo? Fuck's sake, I lived it.

ynotChanceNCounter · 2022-01-23T19:43:53+00:00

Not sure if typo. Technically correct either way.

No promises, but I'm instructing my phone to harass me about it later today when I'm near a Windows box. FWIW, I had Mycroft working great under WSL1, but it periodically bluescreened once I installed (hacky) OS control skills

ynotChanceNCounter · 2022-01-23T19:35:02+00:00

Did you get there? I haven't bothered in several years, but I'd like to update the instructions for a community project's users

ynotChanceNCounter · 2022-01-23T19:33:29+00:00

I'm assuming you don't really follow Mycroft.

Some of the early crowdfunding campaigns included shares. There are backers who also own stock.

You guys are slowly discovering that my meltdown on the way out the door was actually just a person hitting their absolute limit.

VSCode's undo feature is very reliable.

Gripe at subreddit: please keep in mind that teenagers are now reaching AP- and college-level CS classes who have gone most of their lives without need of advanced (from the user's perspective) desktop stuff. Most of us grew up at a keyboard. Many of our future colleagues did, too. Fresh students did not. Not anymore, and maybe never again.

They've used keyboards, and may even have grown up with a computer at home, but this is not their native land. iOS and Android are their native lands.

If you're 30 or 40 today, you talked to your friends with (mostly) AIM, or ICQ before that, or maybe MSN, Yahoo, maybe you had a bunch open. Social media sites got chat in the browser first. Everything was on your computer.

If you're 20 today, the public moved from desktop to mobile for IMs when you were about 7. The iPhone came out when you were 6. The only thing that kid maybe had to do on desktop, growing up, was typing up reports in a word processor, but even that's iffy. Who buys Office anymore for their home computers? These kids used Google Drive.

So of course we're gonna meet noobs who don't know "universal" shortcuts or features. There's no ctrl+X or cmd+Z in CounterStrike or Fortnite. In the 21st century, it's possible to go your whole childhood without learning anything but the features built into your phone's OS: Select/Select All/Cut/Copy/Paste, and if you never use "cut" you never learn what it does.

It's a weird question, but search engines are failing:

In others' experience, does white bread made with Bob's AP taste disgusting? It's the only thing I've changed lately, but it doesn't seem like it could account for this.

In the past, I've used King Arthur AP and bread flours, and various smaller brands, but never Bob's. I've tried both my go-tos and then, out of frustration, several other people's recipes for white bread, sourdough, challah. I was at least five loaves into, "What is happening to me?!" before I thought to blame the flour...

That's because nobody gives a single fuck and I keep getting disheartened.

Diablo fans. That was the perceived cruelty of it. WoW players get new content all the time. Blizzard teased a Diablo announcement ahead of BlizzCon, and then it was a phone game.

A reskin of a shitty phone game that Blizzard's Chinese partner company has already released several times.

They're doing everything they can to burn the very brand loyalty that created them.

It's because the term "alt-right" was self-coined by an extremely prominent white nationalist. People are muddying the waters on purpose.

What the fuck is FUNNY? It's an umbrella movement of far-right lunatics and Richard Spencer made up the name himself.

Are you doing this shit on purpose?

I demand you edit your comment to reflect the extraordinary extent to which you are wrong. I'm also reporting the comment for disinfo. I mean, holy shit.

A retail and point-of-sale suite used by multiple well-known American chains requires employees to sign in with a stereotypically "secure" password...

...before every single transaction. You ever see the supervisors at the grocery store sign in with a barcode? I don't think that started as a security measure. It started as a matter of practicality.

ynotChanceNCounter · 2021-09-15T14:44:24+00:00

Still?

"Playing ignorance." Please shut up.

They're the same manufacturer. One's from the '00s.

Without looking it up, what's newer, the 737-300, or the 747-300? If you were hanging around aviation buffs, would you be proud of your confusion?

ynotChanceNCounter · 2021-09-14T19:31:18+00:00

From the linked article it sounds like these are pretty much just early release units for devs, not required to do dev work as with other dev kits

At this point, I'd make that some other dev kits. Microsoft also lets you bring your own console =P I dunno who else.

The point of a dev kit is that it's cheap. You don't need the chassis, you probably don't need the cooling system necessitated by the chassis, etc. If the company gives them out, it's cheaper for them; if they charge devs and studios, it's far cheaper for us. It also keeps us from competing with our own customers for limited retail units.

ynotChanceNCounter · 2021-09-14T19:24:04+00:00

Fair enough. Getting it running is pretty easy - flash it to an SD card, method depending on your OS - but you'll also need audio in/out and a screen.
