HarkMahlberg@kbin.socialOPto Programming@kbin.social•Anyone got any good alternatives to #stackoverflow?1·1 year agoLet’s be real, SO didn’t need AI, most of it was already a shit salad. It became increasingly less useful from 2016 to now.
HarkMahlberg@kbin.socialOPto Programming@kbin.social•Anyone got any good alternatives to #stackoverflow?1·1 year ago@atzanteol I said Alternative, not Regurgitative.
HarkMahlberg@kbin.socialto News@lemmy.world•Exclusive: Bernie Sanders worries young people are underestimating the threat from Trump103·1 year agoHe might be popular here on left-wing Internet forums, but his voters don’t turn out.
Bernie and Warren are great at pushing progressive policies into the public consciousness, don’t get me wrong.

HarkMahlberg@kbin.socialto Games@sh.itjust.works•Apple denies violating US court order in Epic Games lawsuit8·1 year agoThe Apple filing criticized what it called an attempt by Epic to make Apple’s “tools and technologies available to developers for free.”
Wouldn’t that be fucking great. Man, if only.
HarkMahlberg@kbin.socialto Religious Cringe@midwest.social•There is no hate like Christian love3·1 year agoI gotcha. :)
HarkMahlberg@kbin.socialto Religious Cringe@midwest.social•There is no hate like Christian love14·1 year agoit costs nothing to keep your bigoted opinions to yourself
I used to not understand the concept of opportunity costs but now I’m beginning to believe that there is such a thing even when spouting disgusting, obnoxious, dogshit opinions. Like, some people in the world are losing out if they don’t take an opportunity to slander and disparage someone else.
They’re lower than dirt.
HarkMahlberg@kbin.socialto Religious Cringe@midwest.social•There is no hate like Christian love7·1 year agoI mean, I get that this is basically the last standing GOP policy, but to read those verses correctly, you have to remember that “to suffer” is another way to say “to put up with,” and he’s talking to his disciples, not the children. He’s just saying “Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!”
HarkMahlberg@kbin.socialto/kbin meta@kbin.social•Do the "Ernest needs to add more maintainers to KBin!" comments remind anyone else of the xz social engineering malarkey?2·1 year agoWhen I started to read breakdowns about the social engineering behind the xz backdoor I was like, “Waaaaitaminute, I’ve seen that sort of talk before.” I found it notable to point out the similarity and maybe poke around at it.
People decided to use the thread (to my excessive chagrin) to talk shit about kbin and rehash the exact same pressures I was attempting to analyze.
It’s a shame, because I noticed similar patterns was looking forward to some good discussion about it here. Alas…
HarkMahlberg@kbin.socialto/kbin meta@kbin.social•Do the "Ernest needs to add more maintainers to KBin!" comments remind anyone else of the xz social engineering malarkey?1·1 year agoIt’s not the boeh.org link, but here is a similar timeline of events: https://research.swtch.com/xz-timeline
HarkMahlberg@kbin.socialto Technology@beehaw.org•Ask ChatGPT to pick a number between 1 and 10030·1 year agoI mean… they didn’t specify it had to be random (or even uniform)? But yeah, it’s a good showcase of how GPT acquired the same biases as people, from people…

HarkMahlberg@kbin.socialBanned from communityto politics @lemmy.world•'Donald Trump did this': New Biden abortion ad features a woman who says she almost died because of the Texas ban1·1 year agoI think you got the wrong takeaway from that story… The character of God rebukes the dead man for not accepting the practical help of other people. It’s just framed as though God sent the rescuers to convince the “believes in miracles” crowd that no such things exist.
Consider a simple rewording: instead of “I sent you two boats and a helicopter” you read “Two boats and a helicopter came to save you.” This solves your only hangup and doesn’t even change the story. Your beef is with the aesthetic component, not the meaning of the story.
HarkMahlberg@kbin.socialBanned from communityto politics @lemmy.world•'Donald Trump did this': New Biden abortion ad features a woman who says she almost died because of the Texas ban102·1 year agoNot even remotely.
Added toggle for ‘Reduced Motion’, removing the swirly background and gyrating card motion
Judging by other comments online people seem to love the aesthetic, but I IMMEDIATELY turned off the CRT, scanlines, and screen shaking settings. It was just too much for me. I’m so happy they’re letting me take out the last thing that is fucking with my vision after a long play session.
Changed the first shop in every run to always include a normal Buffoon pack as one of the pack options
I think this is a good change too. Might still be a little RNG reliant, but this definitely helps when more often than not, I restart the run after taking a look at the first couple of shops.
Upcoming blinds/tags can now be seen in the shop immediately after defeating a boss blind/cashing out
Also a worthy change.
Changed Fibonacci - costs $8 instead of $7, because Fibonacci
lol
Changed Seance - Now uncommon and $6, was rare and $7
Awww, I’m disappointed that the Magic TCG reference is now a little less on the nose.
Overall there’s a LOT of balance changes in here. I’m a little concerned that LocalThunk might have bitten off more than he could chew. Especially given that the blinds’ base values have been reduced to make the game easier. Though, is it to make it “easier” or “less RNG heavy?” I guess we’ll find out soon enough.
HarkMahlberg@kbin.socialto Games@sh.itjust.works•Baldur's Gate 3 Dev Larian's Publishing Director Calls Games Industry Layoffs an 'Avoidable F*ck Up'152·1 year agoSo they just have to make good enough games to avoid two complete flops in a row. Which is impossible
BG3 made a lot of committed repeat customers for Larian, I don’t think it’s impossible their next game will sell very well based on name recognition and good will alone. A guarantee? No. But a safe bet.
It’s the equivalent of the rich billionaires saying if you want a house just work hard and buy one. It’s not hard! Why are the poor people complaining?
If this is the source of your rage posting, that’s a lot of misguided anger to point it toward Larian. Are we gonna complain about the one-man developer who quit his job to develop Balatro? Yes he was privileged enough to have savings to dig into, but neither him nor Larian are anywhere in the same ballpark as EA, Microsoft, Ubisoft, etc. They’re just the wrong people to get mad at.

Underrated burn. Hot damn.
