There’s nothing stopping anybody

I assume you can do it by hand, right now, in a few seconds then?

Dope. Looks like I’ll have to give Linux a shot once again. Worked fine on an old ultra book I had, but every time I tried on my desktop I’d fail at the GPU drivers step.

What’s installing Nvidia drivers like?

This has killed my install and interest in Linux every time I’ve tried it.

We live in an unjust world and it’s not likely he’ll face consequences in line with his actions.

Yeah, might be switching to Jellyfin eventually, but I want to milk my lifetime plex pass for a bit longer. The enshittification hasn’t reached terminal levels for me yet. I’d have to talk all my non-nerd friends through setting Jellyfin up as well, so there’s a significant effort barrier to switching there.

Plexamp is fantastic. Sweetfades and radio/mix features, which can also include songs from shared libraries, are dope as hell. One of my favorite audio players of all time. Bridges the gap between old school local library playback and modern algorithm stuff really well.

If you really want to see this type of content you can easily find it with the tiniest amount of motivation.

Nowhere in the article does it say anything like that. It’s pretty straight forward reporting - the guy ran some websites and distributed pirated books and software, and hacked a few websites. No judgements are passed, it’s just factual information.

Flightradar24 had a notification that the Concorde was flying again, first thing I saw this morning and I completely fell for it.

Not knocking people’s choices, it just wasn’t for me. If math in reality isn’t math in education, it’s even better that I left.

I’ll still contend math is much more elegant than physics or engineering, though. There’s no e^I*pi + 1 = 0 equivalent for either.

Respect. Physics is way up there in terms of hard science nerd cred.

Eh, it’s just fundamentally ugly to me and that really turned me off. Rounding doesn’t help, that’s like turning the lights off for sex to make it better. I still know the ugliness exists, even if I don’t see it.

Engineering is still very cool to me, and I have huge respect for those who do it, but I’d never have made it. It’s physics but even further perverted by reality. Math was beautiful to me because of how “pure” it was. Just straight logic, divorced from the messy world we live in. Tidy coefficients and elegant derivations.

Numbers like that are why I quit majoring in mechanical engineering. Physics took the beauty of math and made it ugly.

You knew something was wrong in calculus when you got a fucked up coefficient that wasn’t a nice number.

Spun is also fucked up on hallucinogens, like at a festival when you take too much acid.

You didn’t discover this as a child? Shit, spinning around was the first high I ever had, followed a few years later by hyperventilation.

Why is there a need to rewrite it at all? Is it because COBOL is basically ancient hieroglyphics to modern programmers thus making it hard to maintain or update?
