What's unintuitive about creating text files config.yaml and input.toml in $DESKTOP_STANDARD_INCONSISTENTLY_FOLLOWED which hopefully resolves to /home/username/.config/ but probably resolves to /usr/bin/go_fuck_yourself_with_1s_and_0s and then editing the text files according to confusingly documented syntax?

I hate when ATMOSPHERE^TM^ is used to justify shitty design decisions. Find a way to make it diegetic without making me navigate to fucking nexusmods 🤮

this bums me out so much

I bought it before I ever paused against the boss. I discovered this mechanic doing Vow of Rivals :(

after playing silksong and hades ii, i am now pretty confident that game devs sniff their farts more than any other artists

"the player can't pause during the boss because he controls time" fuck offfffff

(hades ii is mostly excellent, though, and silksong is a diamond encased in dogshit

there is a wonderful game in there, if you can find it)

Linux gaming has come a really long way. I use Bazzite^[https://bazzite.gg/] on a Steam Deck and it's great.

The only real remaining hurdle, I think, is that some companies insist on anti-cheat software without Linux support. Mostly because they're too lazy to implement it server-side, I am guessing. This is why you can't play Fortnite (that one with the dancing and the bullets) on Linux.

guess it's finally time to rewrite calibre

i'm thinking cobol as a big misanthropic fuck you to humanity

and i'll call the rewrite coblibre and it'll include allusions everywhere to tyrion killing tywin, fuck it

why in the fuck does calibre's source code have an ai folder?

https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre/tree/master/src/calibre/ai

at the very least call it "llm" or something. does this folder contain A* as a subroutine? or how about a chess engine? someone needs to develop a pill that cures misanthropy because for some reason this specifically broke me.

i read that there was one based on a mexican-slur, but i couldn't think of it

spent weeks trying to rhyme "wet" with something, couldn't come up with it, damn i guess i'm not a poet at least i know it

"wire"

fuck me that is so lazy

maybe this just betrays that i don't know shit about fuck, but it feels like this xkcd would make more sense if the frequentist did the experiment more than once

sorry my friend, that is really brutal. wishing you the best. ❤

imo academia in the us selects for self-serious mini-tyrants. people unable to sleaze their way to an equivalent position in the job market, so they go with a position where their subordinates have no agency or recourse for inappropriate behavior and are entirely dependent on them for their funding and their career progress^[by standing up to my piece of shit advisor, i have left with just a master's degree after five years, despite definitely having enough research completed under this advisor to leave with a phd. i chose to stand up for myself and try to end this cycle instead of adding an acronym to my title. arguably a mistake, idk, there is a robert frost poem about this.]. the university system here seems to only care if a professor brings in grant money

if so, they can do whatever they want.

e.g. a year ago a student of mine with a documented, legally required accommodation was just straight denied it by a professor in my department. this poor student had to go through some equal opportunity claim just to have his accommodation met, and the professor is still there, having suffered no consequences.

maybe i should apply to a phd program outside of the us. i speak spanish (but slowly, y como un gringo) 🤷
