I kind of brought this up in another comment, that “first” and “1st” aren’t really the same thing. Which is confusing when you extend that to fourth/4th five/5th. I don’t generally see someone write “zeroith”, but I’ll see “0th”.

I feel like the joke would’ve landed better if it said “first”. I know it’s pronounced the same way, but I’m gonna argue anyway that there’s a subtle difference. I’ve heard 0th used in cs to describe what was at the 0-index, so in that context 1st would be"second", but “first” generally means “nothing before it”. English is weird. I wonder if anyone knows whether the word “first” or “1st” came 1st (lol)?

This is rapidly becoming less and less true unfortunately

Underlying kernel aside, I think that the Steamdeck’s SteamOS is an excellent example of how “easy to use” != “smaller feature-set”. I’ve heard countless times from apple dudes that the reason that their stuff allegedly “just works” is because of the lack of some functionally that if present would overwhelm the user. You know, as if ios and android don’t share fundamentally the same user interface principles. But they do have a point, a green user can be overwhelmed when presented with a huge feature set all at once. Yet, despite SteamOS literally having a full-blown desktop environment, the UI frankly is way less confusing than my Xbox. It just goes to show that it’s not about the number of features, it’s about how they’re presented. Power users don’t mind digging into a (well designed) settings menu to enable some advanced functionality, and keeping those advanced features and settings (with reasonable defaults) hidden around the corner behind an unlocked door helps the newbie get started with confidence.

Does the Axiom on Wall-E count as a space station?

What programming language is Afungus Amongus?

Steal this album

Mmm no, can’t say I have. I have tried to come up with the perfect way and time to quit that most inconveniences them, you know make them feel my missing labor. Or fantasize a Newsies-style unionization. But not murder, no

My brain seems to draw the line at fantasizing a good punch in the nose. And even then, they have to really be asking for it, and then that’s it, I walk off. I can’t recall ever fantasized killing or torturing somebody that I had problems with. If that’s normal then idk, but honestly that’s totally weird to me

Depends on the client too I think

Tbh I only know this song and Bitchen Camaro

To me this song always sounded dangerously close to old folk/country. That little descending baseline bit at the end of the chorus especially.

I’m the same way with Kazakhstan and Saskatchewan

Very well said

There is no good local takeaway in my current area. I briefly lived in an area that had a decent place (not even great, just a notch above the chains) and it ruined crappy pizzas for me enough to take up pizza making. I mean don’t get me wrong I’ll still do little Caesars from time to time if I need cheap calories, but if I want real pizza I’ll make it myself.

Lmao I have a friend that’s goofy mongo, I give him so much shit

Well that’s the nastiest thing I’ve read today so far

I’m with you on Skullcandy headphones. It’s not just that they’re cheap, there’s better ones for the same or less. Anker soundcore are my go to - pretty good and very affordable. Mpow honestly weren’t bad, I’d get them before Skullcandy. My low-mid range Sony’s have been great and shockingly durable.

But my skullcandies all sounded like listening through a pair of socks, and the controls were awful when they did work, which wasn’t very long.

That makes sense and that’s fair
