Valmond,

O(k) time to be pedantic, where k is the number of layers.

I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....

Valmond,

Are we getting astroturfed already?

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

Valmond,

Just the beginning with the party, with dwarves in a sort of dance-cleaning party was absurd IMO.

They’re there to fight or die, only Gandalf (IIRC) managed them to even consider taking a hobbit with them. It should have been grim, but with a take making it possible, not a song and dance performance.

In all it’s too “American” (IMO) ; simplistic plot with easy to understand graphic battles. Then Win!

I also hated the painful play of Frodon and Sam, like some sort of painful master/slave idiocy. Not naming a totally overplayed Gollum.

Well well, I remember the end of the Hobbit was plaisant, and it was a long time ago I saw them so maybe I should rewatch them :-)

Valmond,

I answered just below, or above :-)

For the CG, I was at Paris GDC (game developers conference) where naughy dog(black dog, ??? I don’t remember) explained all the fuckups they did with LOTR, like when Aragorn magic-jumps on to his horse(idea was cool, execution horrible), the dragon flying through everything …

But for me that wasn’t the bad things (I love Star Trek and Dr Who!) but the blandness, “American style”.

Valmond,

All of them? No. But there are so many great things in them you can’t just bury them away like Spirited away, your neighbour Totoro…

You don’t like them? I understand that totally, but they are masterpieces.

Like I just hate the Bolero and think Mosart is ‘meh’ I guess (toccata&fugue in D minor by Bach, now that rocks!).

Valmond,

I thought we gen X were the youngsters in the nineties :-)

Valmond,

Lot of east-block stuff from after the war too.

Valmond,

fetch, reset --hard, checkout -b and cherry-pick?

:-D

Valmond,

reflog saved my life once after a stupid misshap.

All rebase are belong to us (onto, rebase, and ofc interactive) but what’s fsck (I don’t squash personally)?

Valmond,

push origin head

^^

Valmond,

Isn’t it just pusher street that’s closed?

Valmond,

push origin your/branch

Pushes, you guessed it, your/branch!

Head is usually your checked out working branch if you’re not in a headless state, right?

Valmond,

I’m too lazy, I use -f

Valmond, (edited )

Depends on the configuration right?

You can work on your branch and then push that to integration for example.

I mean you’re not working on your local master/main branch right?

Valmond,

But what’s the green thing in her mouth, the frog driving the android?

Questions regarding Old-new Hard drives

Hi, I seek your help once again. I’m in the need of upgrading my storage now and I found what I consider to be a good deal via Amazon on an older gen enterprise WD drive that supposedly hasn’t been used, but I’ll let the power on hours tell me the truth. The price is about 16usd/TB and I’m wondering if this is a bad idea...

Valmond,

Mechanics doesn’t like just sitting around. 10 years is not nothing, I’d definitely take that into account.

Valmond,

Nice!

Anyone knows how much shipping is to Europe (it’s an option but you have to make an account etc, so if someone knows … I’d be happy)?

Valmond,

Well he travelled forward in time :-)

Valmond,

They singlehandedly created this mess.

Valmond,

We should rename it to “Trackers”.

What are some productive things to do when you wake up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep for a few hours?

I’m looking for suggestions that zombie-me could follow through with. The problem is I can barely bring myself to get out of bed, let alone do a useful task. It just wastes typically 2–5 hours of my life as I wait for tiredness to finally (re)take hold.

Valmond,

Who the hell thinks masturbation is bad in our mother of lords year 2000+?

And if you go down the hole and say that masturbating too much is bad, then:

A) Why are you not out there helping them?

B) Everything is bad if “too much”

Cheers

PS. Mine is go to the toilet, then go back to sleep. Or worst case, read the book I’m reading at the moment (touchy because of lighting, I should probably get one of those headlamps or something).

Valmond,

What I think is unhealthy is that you, or anyone else, should decide when masturbation is ok or not lol.

Valmond,

Remember how I played Bounty Bob without knowing that if you jumped straight up, ju could start a side-jump any time you were in the air (by wiggling left or right), making livel 23 finishable…

That one tile you had to walk on, I spent so much time trying to jump in the craziest patterns to get to it with no success of course 😅

Valmond,

In France we do it with oignons…

Valmond,

He has a f… Frigging big head for that body.
