Yep.

I’m a die hard Linux nerd, but I would still Rather have a console.

But what I really want is a console that just runs Linux so I can keep it updated and fix minor issues without all the bullshit.

Just gotta pause faster!

Oh. This is seriously cool. Thank you.

Oh! You meant Moore’s Law is asymptotic!?

Yes! That is key to the joke I was making.

When I say Big O, I’m talking about the slick jazzy anime about rejecting true love and living with heartbreak because we believe a lie about our own superiority. This is always true, no matter what the discussion context. If I happen to say anything remotely relevant to mathematical Big O, that is just a deeply weird coincidence.

Fantastic summary. For anyone wondering how to get really really valuable in IT, this is a great write-up of why my top paid people are my top paid people.

Write more robust code.

Sure, I could read a book about best practices and Big O…but…What if we just table the idea for a few iterations of Moore’s Law instead?

Yeah. That’s the difference people don’t seem to understand.

AI is perfect for stuff that’s just made up bullshit anyway.

The screenshots sell it well. That’s some funny stuff. I’ll check out the demo.

But what if someone else’s government creates the Torment Nexus before ours can?!

I’m enjoying the screenshot series. Thank you!

The arbitrary standard for the censorship in Fediverse is extremely bad.

“The pirates code… Be more like… guidelines.”

9. Don’t truncate passwords for verification.

It needed to be said. Because some password system architects have been just that stupid.

Edit: Fear of other’s stupidity is the mind killer. I will face my fear. My fear will wash over me, and when it has passed, only I will remain. Or I’ll be dead in a car accident caused by an AI driver.

As a Perl user who won’t shut up about it… Yeah. Yeah, that’s pretty fair.

Their out too git us!

This is great.

If I could make one change, there’s so many funnier languages that could have been Esperanto. I would have taken a shameless jab at F#, myself.

Putting it on eBay for full price is a dick move.

Agreed. That’s just fraud.

Sounds like you’re ready to join the cult club of Debian.

It’s stable, performancet, and adaptable. Tons of window manager options. And I’ve found that anything I like from *buntu distros I can backport into Debian by finding a .deb file.

I’m also in the “I don’t care” camp.

A lot of us just want a piece of nostalgia that the big companies choose not to produce.

If it looks close enough that it inspires my happy nostalgia, and it plays fine in my console, that’s what I’m happy to pay for.

If the license holders are still selling the game, I’m happy to buy from them. If not, I’m happy to buy from someone else producing reasonable facsimilies (of abandonware games).

I get how someone could be upset if they thought they were getting the real thing.

I haven’t, personally, felt misled by makers of abandonware facimilies.
