China out here with scripted robots that while not super useful can show off the limits of our technology in impressive ways.

America. Back to slavery but with a metal exterior

They were going for a drunken master motif so… Yeah probably. Which is bold to expect so few flaws that you put in a purposeful one to joke about.

Yup, what other person said, heat pump dryers.

They use the insides of the dryer as the closed loop of heating and cooling. Heating air through clothes to get moisture then cooling it on the other side to condense it. Generates water but doesnt have a vent.
Neat use of the tech.

I mean literally the same machine as a rock grinder, generated heat and tumbling items smacking into each other.

But like they are soft. And if you don’t use as much heat it is even gentler, which is why the driers that act as a dehumidifier without heat are even better better.

Sure.

Ah right, sorry for the mixup then

Yeah I will say I once got a temp ban comment removal from a community cause I said “I wish I had the type of OCD that made someone put extra small details on their dwarf cosplay” it was marked as an ableist slur.

I have a conspiracy theory that the DNC are just conservatives who made the most financial decision of socially supporting the smallest minority they could find for PR.

He should have said “dopamine farm for, number go up”

Probably, but it is not a gaming device but a network managing one and its been running for way before bazzite and just the thought of having to configure it all again makes my skin crawl.

I dont even game on my Linux system and every time it updates I know I have a frustrating night ahead of me.

Maybe just an Ubuntu thing but actually my steam deck has had to roll back a few times as well… At least it had that option unlike Ubuntu.

Maybe it is because I am using mine for network related apps that they are always what breaks but man it seems like some major backed component gets a rewrite every so often just to see if it is better. I have had so many port issues and network issues it makes me want to be Amish. That and trying to get video thumbnails back that one time. Wasnt a total nightmare but weird that it took me days to figure out that apparently I had to delete the cache then reinstall ffmpegthumbnailer…
So, no, not alone. Hate updates. Hate them so much.

Have you tried Nemo by the way? Kinda like it better than Dolphin.

Yeah. Maybe. I know I will never try arch again and I thought Ubuntu was supposed to be one of the good ones but its been so much stress.
I dont want to have to completely redo my whole system and all the software just to try a different OS flavor

Ah. I have only figured out the check for updates daily, weekly or never options. I am leaning into never as this is the third time an Ubuntu update has made me want to curl up in a ball and die.

I dont find thus constant tech support fun.

Ha! As if Ubuntu didnt update on its own and then completely killed my internet access because it changed the file system of how it stores DNS but didnt somehow do it right to the point of me spending 3 hours figuring out what file I had to recreate and why to get it working again.

Linux is cool but not this make believe version of cool.

I’ve noticed people just back the person speaking the most strongly or is insulting harder as if those are tactics used by people who are commonly right.

Honestly even here on lemmy you get how Trump won.
Even here people can’t help supporting the person acting like they are superior.

I know how you feel, I searched so long for Encounters of the Spooky kind and I still dont have all of Mr, Vampire.
But also, check archive.org and such. Sometimes stuff ends up in the weirdest places on the internet.

Is it cheaper?

I disagree on what it would take to bring me back to Nintendo, cause… I think its ok for them to make a fancy digital toy with games that change how we play with it.

But I want the fancy digital toy to be worth it first and be fun.
Like the DS was a planner and a doodle pad, and a contact book, and a web browser and a gameboy and a DS. They had a version that let me see games in 3D. They had a console that let me swing swords like the main character in the game that came out just for it. I could play any sport like I was actually doing it right away day 1 and design a character to play as.

Now the console does nothing but play the games that dont come with it. And they dont even use a fun game mechanic they added to make the digital toy cool. They lost all passion and it is just a worse locked down version that only plays the game and goes away. Made to have you purchase more on it then use it.
I miss Nintendo.

I am so tired of worse products in the name of upgraded products that are literally worse in every way but a bunch of buzzwords and in groups bragging at the top while not knowing anything at all about programs or even the product at all but just seem to be there because they drink with the CTO.

Ugh. The twiddling thumb era of trying to look busy by dismantling the old machines for parts.

Yeah that about sums it up. I wonder why the Anarchists do it.
