Hamartiogonic, to asklemmy in Why do most people refuse to accept that they are wrong
@Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz avatar

Even though I believe I’m right, there’s always a possibility of being wrong. Learning to live with this realization hasn’t been easy since I really like being right and hate being wrong. I suppose lots of other people feel the same way.

No matter how hard I try, I am still wrong about a bunch of stuff, so it’s good to come to terms with this reality of life. Accepting it is easier than trying to fight against the inevitable. Once you realize you’re wrong, acknowledge your mistake, fix it, and move on.

This type of forgiving design is the main difference between modern games and older ones. Nowadays, there’s no shortage of games that are trying to manipulate you into grinding every day.

I think I see a theme here. Doing fun normie stuff on iOS/ipadOS is easy. Doing technical stuff is usually completely impossible.

Doing technical stuff on Linux is easy as long as you know what you’re doing. Doing popular normie things on Linux is a bit hit-or-miss. Some things work perfectly, but other things are a royal pita.

Windows seems to be in between the two extremes in more than one regard. Microsoft seems to be working to find some sort of compromise in these things.

Also, the types of information you find are very different. On windows, you’ll find various forum posts about your problem, and some proposed solutions. Usually, nobody seems to know exactly what’s causing the problem, and that’s why the solutions are a bit random. Same goes for iOS related problems too.

On Linux, you might not need forum posts, because sometimes the error messages tells you what’s wrong and how to fix it. If that’s not the case, you’ll find posts about your problem, and usually there’s someone who explains what’s broken and what are the commands to fix it.

There’s none of that guesswork about trying 7 unrelated things to see if any of them magically solve your problem. It’s straight to the point. Your problem is caused by that setting over there, and here’s how to change it.

Hamartiogonic, to lemmybewholesome in After watching the 2nd episode of 11th season of Futurama, I googled "Futurama S11E02 discussion" (without quotes) and Lemmy.world was the 2nd result. We can do it, guys.

And if they really decide to ban Google search indexing, Reddit will be permanently wiped from the face of the internet. It’s like going full stealth mode.

Hamartiogonic, to asklemmy in No politics inteded: Why isn't Trump after leaving office in any way or shape involved in politics say as member of congress or senate?

No comment intended, but… oh, well. Too late now.

In that case the, one liner has to be long and designed in such a way that every word can work as a cliffhanger.

Hamartiogonic, to memes in Choose your vehicle

Also, it probably weighs over 3500 kg, so you’ll need a C license to drive it. Fun fact, if you have one of those, you can also drive a huge lorry. Why would you choose an eyesore like that, when you could be a badass rock hauler.

Hamartiogonic, to asklemmy in Is it actually possible to change your personality
@Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz avatar

A long time ago I listened to a podcast episode (Probably Hidden Brain or something) where they discussed how memory affects your personality. People with dementia or some other memory related condition tend to have a different personality than they previously did. Then on another podcast, video or something I picked up another interesting piece of information. People can make new fake memories. Put these two together, and you got a strange method I came up with. If I’m able to come up with this stuff, then obviously smarter people have already done it and are using it on a ragular basis. It’s just that I haven’t heard of anyone doing that yet.

So, here’s the idea. Let’s say you don’t like the way just chill out all day and nothing gets done. You want to change that. Then you start fabricating new memories about how you are really hard working and how you have your life under control. Just imagine a bunch of stories like that about your fabricated past and those stories will gradually become proper memories inside your head. Once that’s done, it’s going to start influencing the way you see your self and how you behave in the future.

If anyone has a name for this, let me know.

Tried a bunch of stuff and finally found some exploits that gave me infinite ammo, 100000000x damage with the starter pistol and infinite health. Eventually, I also found a way to walk through the walls, so I dropped down into the infinite void, waited for the coordinate system to cause an integer overflow and here we are. Anyway, if you’re wondering where all the lag is coming form, it’s because I started decorating places by duplicating watermelons. Who knew that the watermelon stack doesn’t have an upper limit. It just keeps on doubling every time. Hey, you might also want to implement a garbage collection system that despawns stuff like that after a while. You know, that huge watermelon pyramid that glitches through the sky box… yeah, that’s a lot of collisions happening all the time. Just don’t look straight at it, because it’s going to wreck your fps.

Hamartiogonic, to asklemmy in Favorite Lemmy Client
@Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz avatar

Bean for reading and commenting. It has only one issue and hopefully it will be fixed sooner or later. When someone responds to your comment and you tap to see it, you don’t always land on the right spot in the thread. If it’s a short thread, you’ll be fine, but in a long thread you just can’t find where the comment is. In those situations I use Voyager, Thunder or Liftoff. Once Bean fixes that issue, it’s going to be the perfect Lemmy client for me.

Hamartiogonic, to asklemmy in Are those rust spots?
@Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz avatar

Looks like it could be rust. Even if it it’s, that’s not really a problem. You can probably get rid of the rust by cleaning the teapot a bit better next time.

I don’t see any problem with continuing to use it in the future. If you’re worried about microbes colonizing the place, remember two things:

  1. When not in use, keep it empty and dry.
  2. Clean it every now and then.

BTW, aren’t teapots usually ceramic?

Hamartiogonic, to lemmybewholesome in It's important to encourage learning
@Hamartiogonic@sopuli.xyz avatar

I use these moments to discuss that topic and dive a little bit deeper into it. If a child is interested enough to share something, then perhaps the sharing can go both ways. As long as we stay within the same topic, the child is usually willing to learn as well.
