I used to dual-post on Bluesky and Twitter but it's too far gone at this point -- Bluesky only from now on!

@_joy_net @titolovesyou As a kid I absolutely loved 'Marble Blast Ultra'
Still available here, painless to launch on Windows, and tons of fun!

@r3dlvst @__silent_ 1. The function must return a value eventually, since infinite loops (w/o side-effects) are UB.
2. Only one return statement, which is only reached if k=n*n, therefore the function will always return k = n*n
3. 'n' is never modified, so easy optimization to return n*n

Holding the phone with such a loose grip in this scenario qualifies you as a psychopath

every time I see someone put their unlocked phone in a pocket or purse it takes a year off my life

This bottom part of Google Maps UI is basically perfect... which guarantees that they'll ruin it soon

Just saw a car with the license plate 'RVALUE' and I really hope they have another one at home with 'LVALUE'

@ShriramKMurthi Too complex of a question for me to answer, but you might know a thing or two (on the r/brownu subreddit)

@AuskaWorks @the_aiju 1 byte times a billion is... just one gigabyte. Insignificant.

AI today is very shallow, not a time saver.

I want to be able to talk to my phone's assistant and say "make the text in my clipboard to all caps". I want to open my file manager and say "rename these photos so they start with the date they were taken". and it should be seamless.

@SlovakFella @LinkofSunshine Protests on college campuses force the university admin to choose between money and student wellbeing.
Arresting students for peaceful protest, for example, forces admin to admit that as an educational institution, they will throw students under the bus because of donors and $$.

I wish Windows told me what's ACTUALLY using my RAM

This does not add up to the 29gb currently in use

@pingasliker @opinonhaver Sure it looks great, but is it really that much better than Witcher 3 or Battlefield 1? (both ~8 years old at this point)
Personally I think it's like 40% better graphics, which isn't that much given it's been almost a decade.

@Ternium1 @Pirat_Nation Surely encryption with admin access to keys is better than no encryption at all, right?

@sliminality Really depends on intonation of the speaker IMO.
- If they emphasize 'best' with rising tone, it's 'maybe the best I've seen'
- If they emphasize 'not' and have falling tone, then it's 'great, but seen better'
