I recently watched a video about a new PC designed to run Windows 98 with DOS for paying old games. It has a built-in SoundBlaster card, (highly) variable CPU clock speed, and lots of modern things like USB PS2 emulation.

It also has a small speaker to simulate hard dive clicks when accessing the micro SD card.

Brigading. Funny. It was a post I found while browsing “Everything”, and I simply answered their questions.

I think it’s more nuanced than that. Religionists are pushing their beliefs on other people on many fronts. (Not you, per se.) It’s been happening for thousands of years, and non-believers are tired of it.

Stumbling into a true believer in an otherwise very secular online forum (Lemmy) is a painful reminder that true believers exist and support the machine.

Ha! I forgot about this comment. I think it’s funny that I got downvoted for claiming I somehow voted for both a Georgia and Colorado candidate.

I think they’re trying to say that god isn’t real and is just a boogey man to scare people into behaving in certain ways.

I don’t get it. The above commenter said episode 3, as well, and I don’t see an edit.

It’s spelled coppp-out

I had the same thought. I’ll have to try the website while logged in to see what it does.

Actually, no. The API is happily returning a post from a blocked community when I specifically ask for it. It should also return comments when I specifically ask for them. Or not return either. It shouldn’t behave two different ways.

The Lemmy code is so weird sometimes.

I recently blocked asklemmy because I get annoyed by all the stupid hypothetical questions. If I click this link, I can see the post, but I can’t see any of the comments.

I don’t want that community in my “all” feed, but if I click on an unknown link and can see the post, why can’t I also see the comments? Seems like a strange disconnect.

Thing is, even though that’s the one thing that would work*, they don’t believe that.

* Except you’d start seeing relativistic effects in short order.

“Parking Meter at the Edge of the World”

That was a Douglas Adams book.

If I’ve learned anything from plastic signs on the side of the road, it’s “Trump low prices. Kamala high prices.”

To be fair, it’s a difficult movie to follow because it’s so slow and boring.

Ring of Haste is the best ring for ranged classes. I don’t know why anyone would say to transmute it. You were right to use it. However, I usually stop at +3. That used to be enough for just over +100% speed, and now it’s just under, which is still fine.

I voted for them both because they’re funny.

I thought people on Lemmy supported free software.

You can’t just make a simple list on any site that uses markdown. It removes line breaks. Why? So some nerd can post an 80 character formatted email from a listserve and have it look normal in markdown. It’s archaic and stupid.

At any rate, this “feature” makes your list look like a giant paragraph:

Castlevania Castlevania II Simon’s Quest Castlevania III Dracula’s Curse Super Castlevania IV Castlevania The Adventure Castlevania II Belmont’s Revenge Castlevania Bloodlines Kid Dracula

You have to end each line with two spaces to force markdown to preserve the line breaks. Or you have to start each line with an asterisk and a space to make a bulleted list.

I’m going to fix it for you so other people can read it more easily, and also fix some of your typos:

Castlevania Castlevania
Ill Simon
Quest Castlevania
Ill Dracula
Curse Super
Castlevania is Castlevania
The Adventure
Castlevania II: Belmont Revenge’s Castlevania Bloodlines Kid
Dracula

That’s not comparable. The situations are quite different. Let me explain:

In your example: Windows. It’s basically the “default” operating system. Billions of users. Some of those billions are kinda dumb and will type in a command or delete a folder because the Internet said so. Ok, so you ruined the day of some dummy with a practical joke. Not particularly funny, but whatever, it’s just some dummy.

In the Linux example, here’s how it goes. There’s an alternative OS people can try out. People who are fed up with Microsoft. They install Linux for the first time, and what’s their first experience? Some practical joke ruins their day. These are the people we want! The good ones. The ones brave enough to try out Linux, and their first experience is a dumb meme that ruins their day, or week, and totally turns them off from the Linux community.

This is not the same as pranking some dumb Windows users.

It only slows the recharge. It doesn’t eliminate it.
