Specifying the size of the basketball killed me

Screenshot from "retrocatalog.com", showing its size comparison tool, which gives you the option of comparing the size of a handheld console against a variety of objects, including an egg, credit card, playing card, kerrygold butter, soda can, banana, and a size 7 basketball.

An incredibly useful feature with an absolutely unhinged list of objects.

We should have never legitimized gambling or outsourced our thinking.

@thea.codes and i saw peaches this week and it was such an amazing show!!!!!!!! she's been on my bucket list to see since i was a kid (i know) and did not disappoint. one of the most wild shows i have ever seen. phenomenal performer. glad my film photos turned out nicely :)

We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists

Lol. Lmao, even.

If it were truly that bad, so enormously awful as if to doom the whole ecosystem, why hasn't there been significant effort on a viable alternative?

I feels very similar to launchd to me.

That's great! So with so much choice why these nerds still feral about systemd?

This is the kind of radical thinking we need, not just endless "ew systemd"

Also lmao at numpy. I never thought of it like that.

Oh don't get me wrong, Poettering is a shithead.

Both monsters who really should've been separate projects tbh.

It was both for me. I hate bash scripting. I find it inscrutable.

This is unhinged and I'm fascinated

Okay, that is fair and I've said elsewhere that I really wish they'd separated the init daemon from the rest, because the init daemon is great. Other parts of the project are great too, but yeah, everything being under one giant umbrella makes it harder to digest.

Ohhh boy a live one! What's the alternative?

Oof that sucks, but also I'd rather deal with that than the nightmare of init scripts that came before. Debugging those was awful.

I mean, there is though? There's still distros using init scripts. It's just more friction, which, like, yeah, that's Linux!

Oh? Other than systemctl and journalctl for reading logs, what else do you usually run into?

Idk I'd rather rip off my own toenails than debug bash init scripts again.

We are the same

This explains why I just had to go and break my tailbone...

Y'know, you're right, Joe. I need to find something obscure to be mad about so I can reestablish my Linux cred.

How are Linux nerds still so butthurt about systemd?

I still haven't gotten that ribeye.

I own the house. It's not like I'm just gonna up and move. I might be here longer than the Sam's club lmao.

@thea.codes bought her house 4 years ago this spring and we found out recently celia never saved her address and has been navigating to the sam's club around the corner and going from there

Especially since it can't be that old, kicanvas doesn't support anything before 6.
