If my choice was between that and the doctor who said “I’ve got this handgun, it’s the best handgun, nobody kills more patients than me”…

All the less reason to be upset about naming your kid after a bug. If the bug isn’t even Google’s first association, why should it be yours?

so you’re saying i should have anticipated that people might have willingly misinterpreted “that is a stupid position to take and here is why” as “you as a person are stupid” and, instead of telling me why they thought I was wrong, try to get me banned from beehaw as a result?

i would’ve been okay if you’d just said yes and left it at that. but the “actually, you are calling me stupid” really rubs my fur backwards

Which is it, do you not understand FPTP voting, do you think that voting for a third party candiate at the presidential level will convince anyone who is not already a member of the green party to switch, or are you really this dense?

We could have an entirely separate conversation about why the Green Party in specific sucks, not least because the candidate they put forward thinks vaccines cause autism, but if you can’t be convinced that voting third party doesn’t do anything I don’t want to talk to you anymore at all.

If your next response is less than three sentences long I’m going to block you.

Exactly. Discord token stealers have been around for ages but no one gives Discord flak about leaving that secret unencrypted.

Okay, so the talk show host is supposed to be the comic author. Who is the woman supposed to be?

just looked it up – the version on steam is in fact Animal Jam: Play Wild – the 3D mobile version made in Unity for mobile devices – ported to PC

you’re–this is a joke, right?

for the uninitiated

Hold on, Animal Jam is on Steam now? I remember when that was a Flash game.

I don’t understand at all where you’re going with this. Either Beehaw uses Lemmy on the backend or it doesn’t. Either you’re using Ladybird or you’re using a different browser. These are pretty binary choices.

What DE are you using? Different DEs handle VNC differently if you’re using Wayland as opposed to X11.

Also, what exactly don’t you know that you would need to know to run the server without a GUI? If you already know how to SSH and start the server that way (or better idea – create a systemd service for it (I can show you how to do that)) and you just need to launch the server without a head attached, just modify your startup script to do java -jar minecraft_whatever_server.jar nogui. If you want to run Minecraft commands from the server console while headless, you can type them directly into the terminal while the server is running. If you set up the Minecraft server with systemd, you won’t have a terminal, so I’d recommend using Rcon/mcrcon instead. It’s built into the vanilla server and not too tough to set up. I’ll show you how if you like.

If all else fails, of course, there’s always the low-tech solution: Amazon sells “HDMI dummy plugs”, dongles that plug into an HDMI port and pretend there’s a monitor connected. If you’re anything like me, though, that solution won’t satisfy you, so I’m here to help if you need help getting some combination of the above working.

counterpoint: nerds are just like that and you and I both know it

hope you don’t forget the semicolon on a line by itself at the end (except in functions where you want to return the value of the last expression)

i’m not calling people stupid, i’m calling an idea stupid. is that also not kosher?

I really hope more people start believing this. Our current copyright system has been abused and bought by the rich and screws over both consumers and small artists, but “copyright of any form is terrible” is harmful to artists too.

Yes, generative AI is snake oil, but that is a question of scope and power and speculation, not utility of easy to create pictures.

“Sure, AI can’t fully replace human artists, but that’s just because the technology hasn’t advanced far enough yet.”

Soviet compurers were hastily thrown together copies of Western ones because the Soviets were lagging too far behind to build a computer properly

So yes

need me a girl without a torso 🤤🤤
