What did you do the last time you had a day all to yourself (no work, no chores, no obligations of any kind)? in c/[email protected]

You think I can remember that far back into my childhood?

The fact you can't tell anyone to go f themselves online anymore without getting banned is absurd and sad in c/[email protected]

People have started treating online spaces as ones that should have some modicum of decorum and lack of abuse. Its not a surprise. Just be a kinder, less hateful person.

Flying spaghetti monster feels quite obvious

Beyond that I'm vegan so I'd eat snacks off Aphrodite's belly, therefore snacking upon Aphrodite

As if peoples accents and vocabularies don't grow and change over time?

A lot of ways to die are excruciatingly painful, but you die, so you don't live with the pain. If you end up in one of those situations and don't die (because you are immortal), I imagine the psychological impact of the pain without immediate release could be enough to completely break you, mentally.

If you could go back in time and talk to your younger self, what would you say? in c/[email protected]

  • you're not being silly, you are a woman and these kinds of thoughts aren't just for "real trans people" (and also you are a real trans person)
  • you need to start giving more thought to how your words and actions affect people, or you're going to hurt someone you love
  • I know those two nuggets of info are hard to hear and are quite heavy, but I promise that observing them and taking them seriously will mean you live an immeasurably happier life
  • buy a bunch of bitcoin with your pocket money. Sell it on December 16th 2016, buy as much as you can with what you got on January 26th 2019. Sell it all on March 13th 2021. Donate half of what you made to stonewall, and use the rest for the house you'll be trying to buy.

Seems up to me!

What game of the 2020s do you think that will top the "best games of the decade" lists in 2030? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

I hope disco elysium and tunic are both in the rankings, because they're probably two of the most perfectly crafted experiences in the last 20 or 30 years, never mind just 1 decade.

[Request] Retro Recommendations (beehaw.org)
 

I'm trying my best to dive back into the past and play all the gems that I missed as a kid because I was either born too late or too much of a kid to consider playing them. I found myself really disappointed going back to the old mario nes/snes titles because they felt really bad to play as I've become accustomed to modern platformer design sensibilities (like coyote time and responsive movement).

Are there any oldies+goldies that have stood up to the test of time and not shown their age in the same way? Or are so good that they're worth playing despite showing their age? Preferably avoiding racing, sports, and final fantasy-esque titles. Not really interested in anything more recent than PS2 era either.

I already have Earthbound in my sights as it isn't one I've played before but it comes highly recommended.

Installing git repos with makefiles in NixOS - How? (beehaw.org)
 

I'm very, very new to nix and nixOS both - I come from imperative workflows and very very rarely anything determinative, so this is all brand new to me.

As an example of the kind of thing I don't understand how to do, let's take an example repo I've been bouncing off: https://github.com/GideonWolfe/Chameleon

On a "normal" system, I can get pip and python ready, and then make install and I'm off to the races.

With NixOS, I've got as far as adding python3 and gnumake to my configuration.nix packages. (I have also discovered that putting python in my system packages was the wrong move, so some advice on how better to go about this would be cool too.)

I can't for the life of me wrap my head around what I'm supposed to do, and so many people online are using flakes but I'm on stable 23.11 (and quite daunted by flakes) so I'd prefer if this was from that POV.

Can anyone speak to any of these points? I've tried reading the docs but it's very confusing for some reason.
