Don't give her my name

It's fake. I recall a while back someone said they had a dream that candy crush had a meta community now and they made this image as an example.

I think it's fine in its original contexts (i.e. "retardant", or to "retard" something), but could maybe be avoided in 80% of cases.

It is inexcusable to apply it to people though.

Doesn't really seem like a brag so much as a tongue-in-cheek way of dismissing it. "Yeah, we kill animals. But.... the food is good?"

Though I certainly see what you mean.

I don't get why this is specific to millennials.

I'm talking more so about HDDs, which were still very prevalent back then. SDDs wouldn't hit similar size to price for a few more years.

I had a mid-range laptop back then that was at least 500+ gigs with a HDD. And when I got my desktop, which was a hand-me-down 2012 dell inspiron from my grandmother, it had a 2TB HDD.

These days SSDs are fast and cheap, so the 1TB standard not really changing a ton has more to do with the switch from HDDs to SSDs.

I could be misremembering a few things here, so feel free to correct me.

Multi-core CPUs were still starting out to be fair, but they were definitely at least somewhat mainstream by the time of the 360/ps3. The 360 was tri-core, and was considered easier to develop for since all three of those cores shared resources. Meanwhile, the cell architecture is hard to develop for even by modern standards. As such, most games only made use of the PPE and left the SPE alone.

On the one hand I think it's kinda just the natural progression of things. The reason we haven't been feeling the need for huge storage is because hard drives underwent a huge boom that rapidly outpaced our memory needs. Like even 10 years ago, 1TB was pretty much the standard, and kinda still is. We also used to have optical disks that most of the game data would just live on.

On the other hand, there is no reason for a remake of a PS2 game to take up 70 gigs.

Gives me hope for a proton drive app. As soon as that's available and viable I'll be able to drop my mega subscription.

Fontawesome and its consequences have been a disaster for web development.

AI+

Absolutely not. This thing is going to perform horribly because half the processor die is dedicated to something nobody's gonna use.

If this were a business laptop then I'd understand adding AI. But this is a gaming handheld, how the hell will this help?

 

I don't actually hate jurassic park, the title is purely facetious.

 
 
 

Hey, I've been daily driving wayland since plasma 6 released. The improvements are stunning, and it's actually responsive on my multi monitor setup.

Main problem I've been having is with my drawing tablet. It works fine, but the touch/scroll wheel doesn't register. I can't find anything in the settings about it, so my first assumption is it's just not implemented yet. But no matter how many searches I do I can't find anyone with the same problem.

I only have this problem in wayland, in X11 it functions just as intended. It's not a huge issue, it just really screws with my muscle memory. I'd just love to be able to use my tablet properly with wayland so I don't have to switch back to the laggy mess that is X11.

Tablet: Wacom Intuos Pro
Distro: Garuda Linux (arch-based)
GPU: Nvidia RTX 3060
Plasma version: 6.0.3-1
libinput version: 1.25.0-1

If this is the wrong community or if any other info is required just let me know. I originally posted on !kde@lemmy.ml but then realized that community was mostly dead.

In case it isn't obvious this is (mostly) ironic lol
