I thought being a gamer meant I was prepared. " No “Get off the Nintendo” or “just pause it” from me I naively thought, “I’ll be able to play all their games and even enjoy the game!” I was such an idiot.

Nothing could have prepared me for the rapid clip “game surfing”. What’s worse, I can remember how to play them all just fine from my own childhood, but it’s the constant in and out of memory that gets me lol

I know what it feels like to be RAM LMAO

Oh yea I remember now lol

You were going off because I…cracked a joke on a couple threads about .ml lmao, and then you were specifically going off because someone asked for an Eli5 of “the joke”

You should be able to adapt it to a rice cooker, the key to this method is an initial couple minute boil in double the water and then dumping it.

But honestly, the stove is SO much faster once you do it a few times (coming from a former die-hard rice cooker user) I can have rice < 20 minutes on the stove

I cook my rice with the PBA method now

I just had this weird attack of perspective, man. What the hell am I doing here? I like the idea of talking about politics and keeping up with what’s going on in the world, and bouncing ideas off people and hearing new stuff. But it seems like Lemmy in particular is just full of all these super-weird aggressive people who are wrong about everything.

Lemmy is still small, it needs people to push back against these extremely aggressive types to grow, the Lemmy-verse at large is tipping away from the tankies, slowly but surely. There are very few tankie-aligned and even fewer right-wing aligned instances. On Reddit, it wasn’t nearly as bad because there were just so many people that unless you were early or on a niche subreddit, the “extremely aggressive” types were downvoted and ridiculed to oblivion already and it was big enough that it wasn’t really necessary to do so.

I feel like there’s a certain perspective that it’s just “oh ho that’s the internet for you” but it really just suddenly seemed like a big waste of time. Like here I am really trying to explain to this dude why his MAGA-friendly instance is not popular, or to Diva why someone might want to vote for Kamala Harris thinking that would be a good thing, and for what? What am I gaining from all of this? It’s not any successful communication with the people I’m talking to specifically, I don’t think.

I changed my own perspective long ago, I no longer engage with people like Diva to convince them but to convince and show the “silent lurkers” what Tankies and right-wingers really think around here. And in doing so, it goes a long way to fostering a more positive rep for the Lemmy-verse on the outside

To truly make progress though, we need bigger and louder calls for defederation of toxic instances like .ml and the rest of the triad amongst the bigger instances. Which is also helped by debating to the “silent lurkers”

That is HILARIOUS lmao I wasn’t even in this thread until now so ig im living rent free ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

She has def called me a Nazi though so I didn’t doubt it for a second lol

:( I just want alien overlords already got damnit

I’ve tried searching through my inbox looking for interactions between us but wasn’t able to find anything, but my inbox is rather…extensive and there’s no inbox searching tools AFAIK lol

Considering diva just straight up lied (see below), id like to review this disagreement we had myself

Lol MAGAts aren’t doing what the meme says, they’re cheering it on, because ThOSe DaMn DeMoCrAps are finally getting taken care of

Tesla? Muskrat? Engaged in fraud‽‽

Well I am just shocked, SHOCKED…well, not that shocked

Lol “punching left” nah I just don’t subscribe to the idea of replacing capitalism authoritarianism with “left flavored” authoritarianism that the tankies push so hard for

!meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works for documentation

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

So diva basically just straight up lied to you, I never even said what ever they’re referencing lol here:

If it was true they would have directly linked the comment

But diva is a known Tankie of .ml, lying about other users isn’t even the worst they do, here check this comm for documentation of the shenanigans .ml tankies get up to: !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works

Wow, so you’ve resorted to just straight up lying about other users now LMAO

Gee I wonder why you don’t directly link to the comment I supposedly said

Oh, because it doesn’t exist

Lol I was digging for other parts in my “hardware archive” and came across this, I had actually forgotten about the non-express PCI and thought it was AGP for a minute LMAO

Be careful what you wish for

Lol it’s a meme not a research paper ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

The president of El Salvador is a pure blooded MAGAt, idolizes Trump and will absolutely do anything for him

Now I’m wondering if any of those betting sites have anything going on for these scenarios lmao

From my reading, if you don’t mind sacrificing speed (tokens/sec), you can run models in system RAM. To be usable though, you’d need at a minimum a dual proc server/workstation for multichannel RAM and enough RAM to fit the model

So for something like DS R1, you’d need like >512GB RAM

In my house, they’re called dead spiders
