This is a boomer ass take

This graph doesn't make sense to me. The drops on the two graphs shouldn't line up, right? Make me sus

That's a very reddit thing to say

Ah makes sense.

I wasn't even concerned about the low priority of passenger cars. I meant the physical condition of the track itself, and the resulting reduction in top speed along many section in the maritimes.

I probably say something
And it gets me in trouble

Edit:
Hahaha I actually forgot my username and thought I was using one that I use elsewhere, but this still applies exactly the same 🤣😭

I wouldn't be surprised, the govt loves investing in things and then just giving it away to private companies to squander. It's the 3pp way.

Also: via rail sucks. They don't actually maintain their tracks, they just keep slowing down the trains instead.

I'm gonna be a bit rude here because you're not reading what I wrote.

I did not say that such apps cannot be updated, I said that they're not updated through a central update manager. So I don't give a flying fuck if you implemented your own custom app updater in your app because that's clearly and explicitly not what I'm talking about.

I also don't give a fuck about throwing config files all over the place, since a) the uninstall script takes care of that and b) this doesn't have to be specific to windows. Having an installer doesn't mean that configs must be thrown everywhere. Afaict apt-get isn't throwing files everywhere.

Again I don't really give a fuck about windows, but saying it hat it's not possible because people don't use the tool that makes it possible is fucking inane bullshit. Idk why you think the windows store "sucks" and I don't really give a fuck, it works fine as a user, even if I don't personally use it.

Cool, that doesn't help because I don't actually want blender.

I'm commenting on how much I hate when software is provided as just a portable executable.

I know that a lot of the time they're also provided as flatpaks or debs or in snap or windows app store, or Apple app store, etc.
But I'm talking about doing the thing that is being described in the image: unpacking a portable executable.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Not really moot, no.

A portable executable can have neither of those things. It also won't show up in the start menu app list.

With an installer, it'll at least show up in the uninstaller, with an install size that I can see when I'm looking to uninstall things, and it'll at least show up in the app list.

But they could also package it through the app store where you get all that plus centralized update management.
But I'd be happy with just having it show up in the app list and uninstaller.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

I know I don't NEED an uninstaller. I want to use the uninstaller I already have for all my other apps.

Let me have a consistent user experience.
Automatically figure out the right spot for the app resources and set the appropriate file permissions.
Show up in the list of installed applications, so I can sort them by size, if I'm running out of space.
Don't make me jump through hoops or know the magical directory I need to put it in, in order to have it show up in the start menu or app drawer.

Hot take: I hate when software just extracts an executable.
Fucking install it so that it's registered with the software updater and uninstaller. Don't make me remember that I have to go hunting in the folder to delete this one app.

Bro youve just described appetizers in general 😭

Theme

Create a new sport that you think should be added to the next (or some future) Olympic games.

I've heard that the Olympics are currently happening, so I figured why not celebrate this by telling the Olympic committee how dumb they are for passing over your new idea for an Olympic sport!

I've been trying to find this video for a while with no luck, and idk what other community to ask.

The video features this yellow dancing CG blob alien thing, and the lyrics go something like:

We made AI to do the dumb stuff, so we could do the fun stuff
But now it does the fun stuff, and we became the dumb stuff

Does anyone remember it, or know where to find it?
The little singing alien thing popped up a few times on my FYP but I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because I can't find any evidence that it ever existed.

 

I had never really heard of him outside of wrestling until the memes, and since then his movie career has actually been on a pretty impressive trajectory.

Theme

Try to recreate a classic exploitable meme using AI!

I'm gonna switch up the scoring a little for this challenge, so be sure to read the score section:

  • Most ambitious: the most complex meme or the meme that I (a layman) feels would be very difficult to describe via prompt.
  • Most recognizable: the meme is the easiest to identify, and is the most accurate to the original
  • Do not include the name of the meme in the prompt: the challenge is to find a novel way to recreate the meme, not just get the model to spit out an image it was trained on. You can use words that are in the name of the meme, but avoid telling the model to just make the meme.

I really tried to get it to generate Mac from the film Mac and Me, but it just wouldn't

 

What would aliens think if they leaned we evolved fear as a survival mechanism, but we intentionally seek out situations that trigger our fear response, for fun?

Horror movies, extreme sports, thrill-seeking, it's all weird.

Edit
Changed the title and added an extra line to make it clear I'm talking about the fear response, and not specifically about extreme sports
