many posts on reddit literally are from karma farming bots though. predictable username pattern, repost from half a year ago with the exact same title that gets deleted exactly 24h later…

what kind of config file is short enough to fit on a single screen with line breaks?

Alright, the YAML spec is a dang mess, that I’ll grant you, but it seems pretty easy for my human eyes to read and write. As for JSON – seriously? That’s probably the easiest to parse human-readable structured data format there is!

Some data formats are easy for humans to read but difficult for computers to efficiently parse. Others, like packed binary data, are dead simple for computers to parse but borderline impossible for a human to read.

XML bucks this trend and bravely proves that data formats do not have to be one or the other by somehow managing to be bad at both.

yunno, on second thought, maybe i don’t want to be using a social platform where communism is the default stance

Fun fact: Python is not named after an animal! It’s named after the comedy group Monty Python’s Flying Circus.

arguments are wasted on these people

Where are the fans on this thing? Please do not tell me you intend to passively cool a chip you intend to run Cyberpunk 2077 on?

Did we learn nothing from Intel era Apple? Sure, AMD chips run moderately cooler than Intel ones under the same workload, but still…

I like the idea of a plug-and-play emulation station in a retro-styled case, but that case design is copyright infringement territory. Emulation devices are on shaky enough legal ground as it is, we do not need to tempt fate

not OP but I’m here to confirm the Android version of Krita really sucks ass, especially on phones. It’s a direct port of the desktop version, windows and all, and if a window is too big to fit on the screen, tough luck. switch back to portrait and hope it works there. Krita is also very CPU bound and on my Pixel 7a there is almost a full second of lag between my stylus on the screen and the line I drew actually showing up.

do you think the US president has control over whether or not a ceasefire happens on the other side of the planet

I’d heard “everyone who disagrees with me is a bot” before, but I gotta say, “everyone who disagrees with me is an agent of the US federal government” is a new one.

Well, if you were previously throwing anyone who ate the rice in the garbage, then yes, not doing that would be safe.

^{sorry, I} ^couldn’t ^ ^{resist. yes, it’s safe to eat rice without throwing out the first batch of water. see rest of this thread for nuance.}

I’m sorry what manga is that panel from I have to go look it up

Have you considered torrenting the old fashioned way?

That is actually the best way of putting it.

USB-PD changes thr main voltage in response to a handshake protocol on the C1 and C2 data lines, which this cable likely doesn’t connect for precisely this reason. Qualcomm QC still uses D+ and D- to negotiate the higher voltage, which this cable likely wouldn’t connect either.
