Synthead@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•This would be a nice temperature for Easter, not for Christmas Eve.English727·1 year agoI’m not an anti-car person. I also understand that we live in the world we are presented with, and there is a significant systemic oil culture that is difficult and expensive to not consume. I just thought this photo was a little ironic.

It simply updates the graphics on the panel per frame at an imperceptible speed. The backlight has nothing to do with the refresh, either.

There were quite a few different titles with different labels. Maybe these links well help you find your games?

Synthead@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is there an artist whose work you love but was a shitty person?English71·1 year agoBilly attempted to sell an Alesis SR-16 that was used in his band for $30k. It’s a $100 drum machine. He was selling it himself. No charity or anything; he just tried to hyper-inflate a very common drum machine that is still produced because he thought he added that value to it by owning it. That was pretty weird.
Synthead@lemmy.worldto Programming@programming.dev•Can one be too dumb for programming?English291·1 year agoYou’d be surprised how little math is involved in programming that doesn’t require it. A significant majority of programming is simply managing conditionals. For example: “when the door opens, turn on the light.”
Math comes into place when you need it, and hardly ever comes as a surprise. Additionally, solved problems are generally kept in libraries. For example, you don’t need to calculate a sum; simply tell it to calculate a sum for you, because this is a solved problem.
What you’re already running into is called “impostor’s syndrome.” You believe that you are not capable of something to some degree, even though reality says otherwise. You haven’t tried your hand at programming, so why worry now? You’re inventing problems for yourself before you even got a chance to start.
Just go for it and see what you think. If you don’t enjoy it, no biggie. If you do enjoy it, keep going. No obligations 👌

It simply means that you won’t get arrested on a federal level.
Websites can do whatever they want, including deciding that they don’t want to be a platform for hate speech. If people are seeking a place for this conversation genre to happen, and they want it enough, they can run their own website.
Imagine if you invited a friend of a friend over, and they were sharing nasty ideals at your Christmas party. And they brought their friends. Are you just going to sit there and let them turn your dinner into a political rally? No, you’re going to kick them out. It’s your dinner, like it is your website. If you don’t kick them out, then at some level, you’re aligning with them.
Synthead@lemmy.worldto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•what if you wanted to compile kernel, but make said "Error 2"English41·1 year agoI’m giving them a little empathy because they are frustrated; that’s all. We’ve all been there.
Synthead@lemmy.worldto linuxmemes@lemmy.world•what if you wanted to compile kernel, but make said "Error 2"English131·1 year agoYeha, but you can ask for help without taking a shit on the effort of thousands of engineers.
I doubt OP thought, ‘I’m going to take a shit on thousands of engineers.’ It’s okay to not know what to do, including asking for help. If they don’t know what to do with “error 2,” they’re obviously lost. This unwelcoming attitude to newcomers is a big problem, and in my opinion, it’s probably best not to contribute to it.
You can rephrase what you’re saying and provide better help to someone who’s completely lost in a much more polite and informative way. It’s better for everyone.

Sheesh, let them be frustrated already. Besides, asking for help is totally valid.
That’s mean 😐
