Weird just means unusual (with slight negative connotations already) . So to use "weird" as an unqualified insult is to say that being unusual is a negative thing in itself. Which echoes the sentiment behind things like xenophobia and such. That's why people are uncomfortable with this line of political attack, imo.

To say "there's good weird and bad weird" doesn't say much more than that there are ways of being unusual that you view positively and those that you view negatively. But that's obvious and doesn't resolve the issue I mentioned before.

shutdown -r now VS shutdown now

The -r muscle memory is real.

What a memory this unlocked!! The physics of this game made you feel like you were 100% driving a real car. I almost want to play it again now, but honestly I bet that not being able to actually drive as a kid was half of what made it so mesmerizing.

Now it might just be like driving to work :(

Damn RIP dude.

Do you know how your email account got hacked?

I don't understand how this happens to people.

That's a good one. I feel like either torx or square drives should be chosen and all consumer facing screws should be one of, say, 10 sizes.

And you can apply for a permit to use other sizes, but even that is gonna cost you like a couple days in jail.

Unfortunately I think there's been a good bit of evidence recently that people WILL accept it. As a prime example lemmy hasn't exactly replaced reddit despite the relative uproar that the API changes caused. Netflix & co just keep hiking prices and people just keep buying it.

And then on the technical side, if the ads are coming from the server it's possible youtube might just refuse to serve the rest of the video stream until all or most the ad's runtime has passed. It depends on how serious they want to get about capturing the revenue lost to adblock users.

I know how you feel, I once made the Kessler run in under twelve parsecs myself.

Whatcha coding that needs to be so precisely timed? Something nuclear? I heard once that nuclear plants have something called real time operating systems that allow for that type of timing prediction.

I am terrified of your ineffebale, unspeakably niche eldritch knowledge that is so arcane as to be impossible to articulate in human language. I ask only that you let me and my family live when you rise to power as a Dark Lord. We are good followers.

They don't work on windows terminals?? I only use the color ones but I will be devastated if it turns out they only work in Linux.

I hate texters that use zero punctuation like this. It's like having a stroke trying to read it.

I remember his posts on r/Charlotte from when I lived there a few years ago. "gives a shit" is definitely the vibe I got from them.
