Norgur, to linuxmemes in It's OK if you cry

The very evening I installed Linux for the first time (I think it was Ubuntu 12.04), my Wifi stick was the first major hurdle. I was a teenager, had no idea about package managers and such, but the drivers for my stick were only available in an uncompiled format, so I had to first learn what build utils and kernel dev packages were, download them and their dependencies onto the windows PC of my dad and copy them onto a CD.

After I had figured all that out (took me.a while), I learned how to compile on the fly.

After I had run ./configure and it finallyfinally ran through without error, the config script had this last line:

Configure done successfully. Now type 'make' and pray

Things have changed over the years, but they haven't changed enough.

Norgur, to linuxmemes in Oh boy, goodie!

Well, this one threw me for a loop

The early bird gets the worm they said.
You'll really be able to seize the day they said.

Fuck worms, fuck days, fuck this and fuck all of you. You lied.

Norgur, to piracy in After 23 years, developer reveals he snuck a cheat code past Sony that turns a cult-classic horror game into a godsend for retro enthusiasts

Because scalpers expected this to be in demand after the news broke and set their bots to buy every cheap copy by unknowing private sellers in order to create a oligopoly and heavily gauge pricing

Norgur, to lemmyshitpost in Every sign has a story

Is this the birthplace of "instructions unclear, penis stuck in fan"?

Norgur, to risa in The Department of Temporal Investigations is on the case

Norgur, to lemmyshitpost in To the surprise of everyone, the Rapture happened yesterday but it didn't quite go as expected.

Bruh, that shark totally had it coming.

"I have no Kazuki-san left"

Norgur, to linuxmemes in I found it! The manual! I'm not sure it's helping me though...

Idk what the issue is:

  1. Unpack
  2. Install
  3. ?
  4. It just works
Norgur, to lemmyshitpost in this AI thing

It's almost as if the LLMs that got hyped to the moon and back are just word calculators doing stochastic calculations one word at a time... Oh wait...

No, seriously: all they are good for is making things sound fancy.

Norgur, to piracy in Amazon and Tolkein Estate force author to destroy all copies of his work. Only pirated copies will survive.

Thing is: They are working from the basis of media that has been successful already. So the amount of "dumbing down" neccessary to achieve a somewhat broad appeal has already been done by the author of the original, so to speak. Their argument doesn't hold any water whatsoever on no level imaginable.

Norgur, to memes in Relatable to everyone

Anybody else getting "I'm 14 and this is deep" vibes from this?
