“inject bystanders with empty syringes”

Injecting people with air can cause an embolism. The article may be wrong and this guy could’ve just been stabbing people with syringe however, if there was any kind of injection that was empty meaning air that can and will cause serious issues potentially death.

Pinephone and other options are looking really good right now.

Ahh shit, and here I thought “How to train your dragon” was just a fantasy.

Holy cow!! I didn’t know that. I have been using history > history.txt to find “that one command for that one thing” I only need once every other month or so. Thanks, now I can just do that.

I am sitting here going “WTF is this Doc talking about, it was a Bluesky post.”

Then i saw the one and only comment regarding servers.

YEP

Thanks for the extra info. I actually hadn’t considered the Wayland stuff.

I will never understand why it’s better to emulate windows to play a game on Linux instead of just using the Linux version.

If the Linux version is 1.01 and the windows one is 2.5 I get it but normally that’s not the case with GOG.

THIS THING IS STUPID!!!

Or it’s just me that is the fool. Thanks for sharing. I just learned about 9 new things.

So, there are many answers to your question and it all depends on what you are looking to do.

Speaking in term is FOSS (free and open source software) Inkscape is a great vector program, Gimp is a great raster program and Blender is an amazing 3d one. (I know you said 2d but adding it in just in case)

If you are looking to make simple images then you might want to start with gimp. If it’s specifically pixel style art there are plenty of tutorials online. (https://thegimptutorials.com/how-to-make-pixel-art/)

If you are looking to make clean line art then you will want Inkscape. Think close up perfect circle with no squares or pixels. There are plenty of tutorials for this program as well.

Now, as you grow and learn you will find and learn about other programs that do the same things. Keep them in mind because they may work better for your needs but for the short time you start keep on the path of these two. They are the most know free options there are and will have the most resources to learn from.

I was being sarcastic with the maybes and countering your statement that the meme is entirely web-dev. But hey, it’s just a picture on the internet and I thought it was great we don’t need to go round and round about every aspect of the analogy.

So there is no desktop program that calls to a remote server for information someplace? Maybe like a server database on what games you can join, player movements and speed who is online, maybe even what music you can play? Or maybe a mobile/phone app that does the same? A way to have a standard interface but get new and updated info delivered to you in that specific form? This information would be delivered from one specific place to another, maybe to your table/device.

Front end and back end happen in more environments than you think.

That being said I can get delivery to my terminal/cmd from a ton of places that have nothing to do with each other kind of like getting pizza and tacos delivered.

For anyone about to say API is more like a delivery driver an not a server, realize we are in Programmer_humor, not web_dev.

No joke that was the first thing I thought but realized it’s freaking perfect.

Star in, no. Was the clumsy villain, I think so.

Looks like a B movie or kids movie villain.

Not a lawyer but I actually don’t think so.

I assume all government figures never thought this kind of act could ever happen here so they had no reason to make a law about it or one that covers it.

P.S. Even if it is, who is going to stop them. They haven’t followed any law they don’t want to unless forced by the courts and even then they still do it.

It makes sense. The only time you need a long term cert is when you have items that you install/update the cert yourself. Again I said update, looking at you Logitech Harmony.

Felt the same way too. In fact I think there was a subreddit dedicated to something like “first line/sentence” and thus there should/must be a Community for it by now.

I really wish MS would have put these people in charge of shit. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFQWc79TYcU

Always liked BBC but the fact that they were the ones to actually upload these things is awesome.
