I am Jeff. I still hate touchscreens with a passion. I still wish for Steve Jobs’ ghost to be stuck in limbo because he can’t select the appropriate “go to <wherever>” button because there’s only a 1" touchscreen to select and it always registers the wrong input.

Ah yes, I’m sure it was microslop who decided to make firefox add an AI the community voted against

The article is only referring to the more recent price hikes caused by RAM shortage, so no wonder it feels like a cheap shot to say “ai bad”, which is correct, but misses the fucking forest - consoles are really expensive without offering that big of a “bang for your buck” as they once did decades ago, capitalism shifting most companies into whatever is the current most lucrative fad of the moment, companies fighting against players’ ownership of games in the form of “Live service battlepass with extra skins”, company heads demanding maximum profit

Man, I’ll start telling that to my boss whenever I miss a deadline. “Sorry boss, the code I made is too powerful, we can’t release it”

Even a “cheap” macbook neo is way out of my league in regards to price. 7299 BRL, which is over 1400 USD, for the cheapest option (256gb drive. The 512gb version is 8499BRL, 1635 USD). With that much money, I can buy a laptop with a GTX 3060 and still have some money left.

I think most LLMs would read “as concise as possible” and still spout lots of kindergarten yes-man positivity while skimming the actual meat of the technical part.

OP’s mind while recording that bit:

“I’m bad! I’m bad! I’m really, really bad!”

France pointing to… Syria? Seriously?

Slopya Nadella: “Oh no, people are complaining this is the worst windows ever! We must do something!”

and this is the result. /slowclap

No idea if it was this one, but I find it amusing

Usually the UI, character limit per post (mastodon is 500, misskey-like tend to be 5000) and reactions - misskey lets instances create custom reactions, like those you can see on discord servers

Unironically what natives of the Great Lakes region have been saying about the “civilized” western way of life for centuries.

no one will ever suspect your masturbation aid is actually a jar full of noxious chemicals.

Oooohhh, that might explain the nonstop burn I’ve been feeling

Speaking of Metal Slug, Gunforce 1 and 2 are other spiritual prequels to that game (especially 2) and might fit as cyberpunk for you - or at least sci-fi (they even have some screams that were later reused in MS)

I would say that Strider fits cyberpunk. Osman is a similar game and might also fit

Not sure Numan Athletics would fit, but I can totally see it as “official sports in a cyberpunk world”

Undercover Cops has a very gritty aesthetic (also reminiscent of Metal Slug) and the first boss is a cyborg.

Something to note is that a lot of sci-fi in Japan in the late 80s and early 90s started to mix with magic and demon stuff, or some sort of alien biotech, it’s very easy to find examples of that in anime and games (like contra 3), but these themes were rarely consistent through the entire game, it was more common to find a bit of everything thrown together

Not arcade, but Neon Inferno might be worth checking out

Further left, you can find KolibriOS, AROS and way, way further down-left you can find DuskOS

Wrong place for it, God’s own OS should be maximum authority

Simply changing the extension wouldn’t work because each image type has a specific header - even changing a .png to .jpg wouldn’t work - and organizes the actual image data in different ways.

The header is what actually identifies the file type. For webp, it’s called the RIFF header and it must be 21 bytes (it’s a standardized specification, btw). For jpeg, the header is only 2 bytes and has the values FF D8. In theory, this means that you could even rename the file to image.zip and, if you opened it in an appropriate program, it would read the header and still render it properly
