Awesome, congratulations!

A few notes:

- Sign up with Twitter? Please consider sign up with Apple, Github and maybe Google. - You should def hide votes until someone has voted or used all their votes for the day to reduce bias.


Thanks so much for the congratulations. Coming up some more sign in methods, I just had setup Twitter as it was the easiest to setup at that time.

About your suggestion, hiding votes until users cast their own is a really smart way. I will look at the possibility of implementing something like that.


It's pretty well documented the connection between JD Vance and Curtis Yarvin.

"There's this guy, Curtis Yarvin. Who's written about some of these things. A lot of concerns that said we should deconstruct the administrative state. We should basically eliminate the administrative state. And I'm sympathetic to that project. But another option is that we should just seize the administrative state for our own purposes." - JD Vance in 2021

You can do this with Java. After you start a new world you select "Open to LAN" in the settings menu.

Nobody is downloading mods from Google. Modrinth, CurseForge and Prism are all very straightforward apps. You download the mods within those apps and they (mostly) handle dependencies. It's 1 click to launch Minecraft after that. My 6 and 9 year old use them easily and only one of them is a genius - but I won't say which one out of fear they might read these comments after I pass.

They both prefer Java fwiw.

And Essential mod gives you costume editing as well as making playing with friends even easier than it already is. https://essential.gg/


I was dead wrong about LAN, my bad. I happened to have seen that option just today as my son wanted to play a game of Hardcore.


How are you on hacker news and never have heard of Jeff Geerling? He's a goat in the ansible and raspberry pi world.


You would be surprised how niche these two things are. I don't care about both and 6 seconds of a tech guy's voice I am sure isn't the trademark of his content


Microsoft legal requested they remove their logos.

command prompt is pretty well known in the postgres world.


My first drum machine was a LinnDrum LM-2. I still use my samples from it. The guy is a legend.


| These are polished and complete alternatives

Are they though?

I just setup ubuntu 24 for my son to play games and it's comparatively a very unpolished experience. I'm being very polite when I say that.


Even as someone who keeps a laptop booted into Linux most of the time, yes there are bumps and rough edges that will be encountered once venturing off the most common path of “internet, video, and word processor box”. It’s much better than it once was but it still has problems and the way that fervent advocates try to sweep them under the rug doesn’t help the situation.


Ubuntu, sadly, is not a good experience for a multitude of reasons outside of Canonical's control, including codec and software licensing restrictions.

Gamers should absolutely be heading towards Nobara Linux (Fedora-based, created by GloriousEggroll of Proton-GE fame). Developers should be trying Omakub. Grandma and Grandpa should be using Linux Mint.


That's interesting - it was Ubuntu 24 that made me feel confident the first time to recommend to non-computer enthusiasts. What about Ubuntu 24 came off unpolished to you, if you don't mind me asking?


Or they grew accustomed to the erections and no longer found them annoying, which is how I read it.


There must be a market for pants that have room for this.


I've heard the erection points downwards if you slice the ligament holding it up on the top side that could make it fit down the leg better


What a terrible day to have eyes


Yea, seems rather extreme when the doctor could also just prescribe phloppycoxin.

Somehow reminds me of another joke...

What do they call a testicle transplant in the US?

"Shooting someone else's children"


Wtf


Hey, look at all this nope


Sadly I remember wearing pleated pants


or other people found them annoying


Or they found a girlfriend and can finally take full advantage of them!


Palm 5x with OmniSky modem!

I can't count how many useless WAP development conferences my company sent me to.


Speaking of WAP, I actually found Palm.net very interesting.

Unfortunately, the Palm VII was only available in the US, and having to dial up via serial cable or infrared using a mobile phone kind of ruined the spontaneous information lookup aspect of it.
