Now that Citra isn’t available, Nintendo knows I have no choice but to buy Samus Returns on my Switch!

In general I’d agree, although Citra feels like an exception. I’m not quite sure why they targeted that one so hard.

I just finished watching the debate myself, I don’t know if she dodged more than once, she certainly didn’t do as much dodging as he did. But she 100% dodged answering why the Biden administration hasn’t removed Trump-era tariffs without even a hint of addressing it. I’m not a big fan of what that entails, I think globalization in US economy might be coming to a screeching halt no matter who gets elected.

Trump: I’m rubber, and you’re glue, and the things you say bounce off of me because ALL YOUR TEMPERAMENTS ARE TRASH AND I’M THE ONLY ONE THAT’S CALM!!!
Lester: Mr. Trump, your head is now literally a giant red steam whistle.
Trump: … My microphone isn’t working.

SteelSeries always seemed like the new-age version of Corsair. I used to have Corsair everything and got disillusioned with the build quality and software functionality loss over the years, and when SteelSeries came into play I watched some of my friends do the exact same dive. It seemed like they were a decently priced, decent quality peripherals brand when they started, but now it seems like they shared the same fate. I’m definitely done with brand loyalty, and I trust what I build more than anything I buy.

Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope.

I had a friend online who was a gamer grandma until she passed. She was the sweetest person and such fun to play with, may she rest in peace.

So, how many more generations before people finally escape Nintendo’s crafted stereotype that games are for young boys? Never? Fantastic. I’ll try not to think about how I’ll magically be too old for games in 7 months.

I recently had to replace my phone and just needed something working. Not even a fan of Samsung but I bought a Z Flip 4 for like $300 and it has like a scratch or two on the screen I barely notice. It’s been fantastic and I see no reason to really get a 5 or 6…

I wish I could have done something like that. Strangely enough, that time I was technically early, because after I got to the empty gate way past departure time, I hadn’t realized I scheduled my flight a week later than I thought. I didn’t think I could get it moved up, and I ended up buying really expensive tickets same day.

I’ve just about keeled from trying to catch a plane, stressed out and with hypertension. I have and will wait for a full 8 hours outside my gate.

I thought usually fish ate Australians unknown to science

Free comp sci tutoring (which I often do anyway), make free courses and hold seminars, and make significant contributions to open source! That would be such fulfilling work if I didn’t have to worry about money.

“It’s less than worthless!”

Lemmy now: memes about how all the memes are this

I wasn’t even aware this existed! This is really cool. Normally I’ve just stuck to a brand that I know works for me, but this is far better.

I think the modern paradigm of frameworks and libraries really makes things confusing, because you can learn every single bit of vanilla JS and then Angular is still like a different language, just like all the rest. I started teaching myself in 2005 so I did have the advantage of a bit of the old world of programming, but I also wasn’t allowed to own a computer and I spent years and years on graphing calculators and notepads learning the basic principles of what is now second nature to me. There’s lots of great options people have already mentioned, C# or Python both are pretty good, but pick one and stick to it. A few months of daily work on it will get you far enough to get a grasp, and a few years of it will get you started on a career. But just get started with it and keep at it, I promise you will get it!

I had a VW Tiguan that had both, but the digital one didn’t poll very often so it was incredibly unreliable. My Audi Q7 has both too, but the analog one is on a digital display, which is kind of weird to think about. Like a computer using an analog clock.
