They meant to say "Control or* Backspace is Space", right? Right?!

I hate your skin color!

Please strike out Lemmy.

Can we very briefly touch on the logical inconsistency of the "your body, my choice" crowd losing their shit over being told to wear face masks?

I don't expect them to see this inconsistency, but wanted to touch on it anyway.

I'm doing their music course and it includes a song called Spanish or Vanish. With some lyrics, too.

I'll have you know, that I have it on good authority (from the ever rational and totally not an echo chamber Hexbear) that the invasion is actually very successful and Russia is winning. By a lot!

Purpose-built devices will always have advantages over generic "do everything" devices. A modern smartphone can do everything, but you still have MP3/FLAC players, DSLR cameras, calculators, etc. Similarly, a PC can do everything, but there are still TV sticks, gaming consoles, tablets, etc.

PC can't be as low-friction as a console for gaming. To start playing all you need to do is pick up the controller, press the Home button, TV comes on and you're back where you left off. All the games in the store are 100% compatible with 0 settings manipulations.

Now, you could build a PC for the sole purpose of playing games on it, and come fairly close to the experience. But you're gonna spend more and put a lot of effort into it.
Some issues you might encounter:

• picking and installing the right OS
• hardware/software compatibility
• controller support
• seamless sleep/wake
• lack of HDMI CEC protocol to control the TV

Whereas a console is a plug-and-play tailored experience that guarantees all of the above to not be an issue.

TL;DR: You can't just plug your PC to a TV and expect the same result as playing on a console. It will take much more work to get there.

No idea, that's what I've been told, but Japanese engineers usually know what they are doing.

Afaik, the problem with buried cables is that in case of a flood or tsunami they might break, get exposed and electrocute someone.

I mean, yeah, with trucks like those gas prices are indeed a big concern.

People mostly mean the Bedrock Edition for its microtransactions and lack of proper mod support. Otherwise, it's the same game and you can ignore that stuff.

Here's a lifehack:

1. Quickly switch your gender to woman.
2. Womansplain her everything that needs to be explained.
3. (optional) Undo the gender switch.

But for real, it's probably GPT-3.5, which is free anyway.
