That would require being able to grow a somewhat light textile plant such as linen or cotton or jute. If Canadian growing seasons are anything like I imagine they are, that idea is more or less a nonstarter because all those need a warmer zone climate enviroment. So you’re left with the dense heavy textile that comes from shearing farm animal wools for clothing making. In modern times you can theoretically grow textile indica hemp with cold resistance and short growing cycles, then process it into a softer and somewhat light clothing through making yarn but that may not br part of native indigenous Canadian culture.

I volunteer as developer for a decade old open source project. A sizable amount of my contribution is just cooking up decent documentation or re-writting old doc from the original module authors written close to a decade ago because it failed me information wise when I needed it. Programmers as it turns out are very ‘eh, the code should explain itself to anyone with enough brains to look at it’ type of people so lost in the sauce of being hyperfluent tech nerds instantly understanding all variables, functions, parameters, and syntax at very first glance at source code, that they forgot the need for re-translation into regular human speak for people of varying intelligence/skill levels who can barely navigate the command line.

The real answer is that the techie nerds willing to learn git and contribute to open source projects are likely to be hobbyist programmers cutting their teeth on bugfixes/minor feature enhancements and not professional programmer-designers with an eye for UI and the ability to make it/talk with those who can. Also in open source projects its expected that the contributor be able to pull their own weight with getting shit done so you need to both know how to write your own code and learn how to work with specific UI formspecs. Delegating to other people is frowned upon because its all free voulenteer work so whatever you delegate ends up eating up someone elses free time and energy fixing up your pr.

How do you know?!?! This is one of the most laser precise call out to my childhood ive ever seen in an internet comment.

Luigi is unfortunately more than just a person at this point, theres ‘Luigi’ the flesh and blood human and then theres ‘Luigi’ the symbolic martyr robinhood saint of the modern oppressed empoverished.

The actual court case and the real human being have become secondary to the abstract symbol giving a face to peoples frustrations and vengeance fantasies. Many people want him to be the one who did it to make the cultural icon legend a for sure reality. If Luigi were proven innocent many people would believe anyway and go wink wink nudge nudge. If he’s proven guilty, it only furthers the martyrdom and fuels the fire which is what protestors ad anarchist really want more. Is a win win from a bystander pov.

People will believe whatever they want until proven otherwise and spout bullshit on the internet anyways but throw a dash of emotional bias into the mix and it really starts to cook.

True! Most browsers don’t have native gemini protocol support. However a web proxy like the ones I shared allow you to get gemini support no matter the web browser. Gemtext is a simplified version of markdown which means its not too hard to convert from gemtext to html/webpage. So, by scraping information from bloated websites, formatting it into the simple gemtext format markdown, then mirroring it back as a simple web/html page, it works together nicely to re-render bloated sites on simple devices using gemini as a formatting medium technology. You don’t really need to understand gemini protocol to use newswaffle + portal.mozz.us proxy in your regular web browser

during the time I was born TVs were small square boxes powered by glass tubes and turny knobs. I want to say 480p but tbh if you were using a junky 10 inch display at the turn of the century on satallite it was closer to like 240p. The jump from square 480p to widescreen 720/1080 was an actual graphical revolution for most people in a very big way, especially for watching movies that were shot in wide. In terms of games 1080p is both where 16:9 took off and the point where realistic looking graphics meet acceptable resolution for like skin pours and godrays shit like that. GTA5, TLOU and RDR are the examples that come to mind from the AAA 1080p era and their original states still probably hold up today.

When the 4k stuff finally came around and it was advertised as the next revolution I was excited man. However compared to going from 480 to 1080 it wasn’t a huge change tbh. It seems once you’re already rendering skin detail and individual blades of grass, or simulating atmospheric condition godrays, there isn’t much more that can be drastically improved just by throwing a billion more polygons at a mesh and upscaling textures. The compute power and storage space required to get these minimal detail gains also starts escalating hard. Its such bullshit that modern AAA games are like 80gb minimum with half of that probably being 4k textures.

I will say that im like the opposite of a graphics snob and slightly proud of it so my opinions on 4k and stuff are biased. Im happy with 1080p as a compromise between graphical quality and compute/disk space required. Ive never played a 1080p at maximum graphics and wanted for more. Im not a competitive esports player, im not a rich tech bro who can but the newest upgraded gpu and 500tb of storage. I don’t need my games to look hyperrealistic. I play games for the fun gameplay and the novel experiences they provide. Some of the best games I’ve ever played look like shit and can be played on a potato. Most of the games I found boring were AAA beautiful open worlds that were as wide and pretty as an ocean but gameplay wise it was as deep as a dried up puddle. I hopped off the graphics train a very long time ago, so take my cloud yelling with a grain of salt.

“I use Arch bt-”

“ITS SHiTE!”

“…excuse me?”

" YOUR BLOODY ROLLING RELEASE DISTRO IS FUCKING RAW. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU RECOOKED IT AFTER A DEPENDENCY PACKAGE BROKE?"

“B-bhut chef… Its a rolling release bleeding distro that expects users to compile with the help of a wik-”

“I ASKED HOW MANY TIMES YOU HAD TO RECOMPILE IT THIS YEAR YOU FUCKING DONKEY”

“5 times sir.”

“FIVE FUCKING TIMES??? JESUS CHRIST DID I ASK FOR CONSTANT MAINTENANCE WITH A SIDE OF COMPUTER PROGRAMS IN BETWEEN? IF I WANTED A RAW OPERATING SYSTEM I WOULD HAVE BECOME A FLAGSMAN INSTEAD OF A CHEF AND ASKED FOR A DISH OF “GENTOO”. COOK ME A REAL OPERATING SYSTEM.”

I have no issue with remakes themselves. Games are a kind of art, and good art should be kept alive for the next generations to enjoy. The problem to me is:

1. the only thing big studios now want to put out remakes/remasters of the backlog they already made because its a safe and easy cash grab. One of the top comments about there being 7 skyrims and 2 oblivions before ES6 is soo real man. Its like all the people who founded the companies who were responsible for creative novel design/story that gave big titles their soul in the 2000s no longer exist in the industry except a few indie devs. Now all big game companies are just run by business associates without a shred of humanity outsourcing everything for a quick buck.

2. Graphics have plateud from late 2010s and onward. Remastered and remaked stuff made a lot more since for the ps2/xbox and backwards, with the ps3/x360 1080p resolution it made a little less sense but I could still understand them porting like TLOU to ps4 at 4k or whatever. But now were remastering games that came out 5 years ago at 4k and trying to sell it as some huge graphical overhaul worth the asking price. Maybe im insane or old but my eyes can barely tell the difference between 1080p and 4k, going from 4k to 8k is like the same picture with slightly different shaders.

This meme was originally made for the !netsphere@sopuli.xyz community in an attempt to give a super niche manga artist fan place a little bit of engagement, I crossposted it here as an afterthought didn’t expect go be brigaded so hard by armchair memologist over the objective definition and location of the funny.

You’re absolutely correct that you need to have read the Blame! manga to get the reference on this one to really enjoy, even if you did its not that deep. Not too much thought went into it I was high as shit just pasting icons with the ‘linux chad big energy beam, windows/microsoft wojak bad guys its fired at’. Im personally okay with not every one of my memes being super accessible or community bangers I had fun making this and putting the template together. If you get the humor or like the template great. If you don’t, oh well downvote say ‘where funny’ and move on with your life cause im not wasting my time explaining what a graviational beam emitter is to snobs who don’t care in the first place.

Try to start curating your block list. Whenever you see a post or a community that rubs you the wrong way/you aren’t interested in block it. Try to identify key words that help you blacklist the stuff you dont want to see.

The overwhelming Lemmy biases and echo chamber ideologies can be a little grating for sure. The longer your here the better curated your feed and the more you will find/contribute to nonpolitical communities which drastically improve the experience.

You can make some pretty potent lube topicals at home for a fun night with the computer :)

Okay I think the term ‘foot-gun’ is supposed to evoke the image of someone loading a gun and pointing it at their own foot. I can’t help trying to picture a gun thats operated by a foot. Like a mech suit with a robot leg that also fires massive tank shattering shells when you do a roundhouse kick as a human operator. Or a veteran prosthetic leg that’s also a rifle when you kick it the right way.

The brain rot seeps just a little bit more every time I see the term ‘foot-gun’ please help.

I use Hemp, btw.

I’m pretty sure WiFi is a kind of radio signal…

I don’t care what PR rep says, its cost cutting one way or another. I hypothesize that gorilla glass had a 10 year contract with the phone manufactures and now that the contract is up some are choosing to cut out the moddle man in hopes of cheaper in-house solutions.

Im an extremest “No the glass is at precisely half capacity. I meticulously found a geometric proof to show its the fill line is exactly at half of the glass. I counted the fucking molecules one at a time and statistically compared them with a full glass and a empty glass. Its half, no more no less. Both of your perceptions of the world are deeply warped by internal biases.” Kind of guy myself. Or in Lemmy speak, a FiLtHy CeNtaRist!!!

Its one of the many trials set by SPACE KING

I think ill email Acidus and ask if they can get something going on. Thanks for the interest!
