@sun Finally, innovation in the keyboard front, but they left out F13-F24.

The crab is posting furry porn on the timeline.

@sun @zonk There are a lot of artists and their followers that have views on copyright that'd make even the RIAA blush. I'm pretty sure they'd try to suck the memory out of your mind if they could, were you to run afoul of their sensibilities.

@sun @Nudhul @mrsaturday The technical term is "devoicing."

I feel like there's a meta of bonding and unbonding to get single tick movement, but I'm not galaxy brained enough to do it consistently.

@lanodan restrict isn't a keyword in C++.

@sun @kaia @Nudhul I meant to write unsurprised, but autocorrect doesn't think that's a word for some reason.

@Nudhul @kaia @sun It looks more like an M1 carbine; it has the through hole in the stock for a sling, a straight magazine, and it's ejecting straight wall cartridges. .30 Carbine has less energy than 5.56 which is already really flat shooting, so I'm surprised a child can handle it.

@icedquinn @shibao @thendrix I've seen people say they can see it as far south as central Florida. It's a real dull red though, so you might not be able to see it in an urban area.

Cyberpunk 2077 had the first instance of sucking teeth I've ever heard in any media, and it's been the first thing I think of when the game comes to mind ever since I finished it.

@icedquinn @Amikke Every attempt to develop a phonetic alphabet for English will ultimately fail as the oft-lamented uncoupling of sound to meaning that those alphabets try to "fix" is what allows English to be interoperable between accents, dialects, and nations. Even if you were somehow able to convince English speakers to adopt one, the situation wouldn't be much better with the various splits and mergers resulting in a handful of different spellings for every word depending on the person, place, or time of day. It's an unsolvable problem for any language of scale.

#dreamjournal

I had a strange dream. I was in a sparsely furnished room taking part in a beer drinking event with a fictional group of people who were all friends with one another (including the owner who made it a habit to gather the group at that location). They looked like they were animated in an amateur art style that was diegetic to the dream. They were of various shapes, some even being anthropomorphic animals and one wolf that I found fetching (ironically, both exceedingly rare for me to dream about). Later in the dream I had come to learn from one of them that they went through a style change some time before. The old style was very simple with each person being a smiley of different expressions. I had a vision of them like a clip show of their past antics which were crass and crude.

At some point, everyone had to leave for the final time. Someone forgot something important inside, but there was only a couple minutes left before something bad would happen, so I went in to retrieve it quickly (it was some form of long plastic case, like an instrument case but still rectangular shaped).

It turns out the location was on a massive spaceship the size of a city, and it was deserted. The aforementioned bad thing was it taking off or exploding (I wasn't quite sure). I grabbed the case and escaped in time.

There was a break in the dream after which the friend group wasn't a part of it anymore, but the ship was still there. I was walking around an industrial area with the ship looming in the background. There was a sense of urgency in the air which I couldn't place. The air started to heat up, and sprinklers started to come on to cool the tanks, pipes, and machinery of the surrounding buildings. I started to run; I realized that the ship was the source of the heat. I took shelter under some pipework that had lots of water running over it to keep me cool when a giant robot came to save me. The robot was sort of like an old Transformers but had the size and function of the mechs from Titanfall 2. The robot informed me that I had to be the one to find the solution to the giant ship.

The dream is a bit hazy from that point, but I remember entering the ship, running across the same room from the last part, seeing the giant, empty, 3D lattice work of the ships interior, going in an elevator, getting saved from the heat wave by the robot again inside that elevator, reaching the top of the ship and looking out over the land from miles up, and setting into motion for the ship to take off or self destruct (again, I wasn't sure).

@lanodan @nyoom @icedquinn @dushman @mischievoustomato @a1ba That's OpenZFS' own reasoning why it isn't included in Arch's official repo. I don't care enough about licensing autism to comment on whether their reasoning is sound.

@lanodan @nyoom @icedquinn @dushman @mischievoustomato @a1ba It's not really the distro's fault (unless they included OpenZFS themselves) as OpenZFS has it's own package repos for a lot of distros because of licensing.

@icedquinn @nyoom @dushman @lanodan @mischievoustomato @a1ba OpenZFS uses DKMS, so you don't need to compile your own kernel, but you do need to keep an eye out when updating to make sure the kernel you're using is compatible with your ZFS package (really only a problem with bleeding edge distros).

@icedquinn You could add things like heat and pressure to your space, so a concoction under normal circumstances is inert, but if you hit it with a hammer it generates a ton of energy.

@icedquinn That's sort of like but not really Potion Craft. Ingredients move the potion around a 2D space where there are specific points corresponding to potion effects. To differentiate different ingredients, they're each given their own parametric equation where the parameter is controlled by how much you crush and mix the ingredient.

@Moon On the down-low.

@coolboymew @Weeble @Moon I'd put it around Hungry Howie's, Cicis, Pizza Hut, etc. in terms of quality, but the last time I had it was 10 years ago.
