Suspicious rule
  • Nonsense. There are plenty of caves inside of mountains, but I edited my comment anyway to make you happy, cause I know someone is going to argue that a cave inside of a mountain is still technically underground.

  • Suspicious rule
  • You might also want to read about the Devils Hole incident. Imagine getting sucked into an underground river that is impossible to swim against, while you get sucked deeper and deeper into the void as your oxygen tank starts to run out.

    Between Nutty Putty and that story, I've decided that I never want to go anywhere near a cave, regardless of whether it's underwater or above ground where it's located.

  • Windows 3.1 saves the day during CrowdStrike outage — Southwest Airlines scrapes by with archaic OS
  • The other user is wrong. I clearly remember the BSoD in Windows 3.1. You can find it easily with a simple web search. Here it is: Here it is.

    Hell, there were even memes of it:

    Edit: I provided proof and was still downvoted lol. This place is quickly turning into reddit.

  • Don't be a coconut, get registered to vote!
  • It's not just Lemmy; I'm seeing the same kind of posts and comments on Imgur. I'm sure reddit is the same but I'm not about to go back there to check. So while it is in fact propaganda, it's also a sign that the majority of Americans using these platforms support Harris. Don't know about Facebook cause I don't use it either, but it's probably more of a mixed bag of Harris and Trump supporters like I'm seeing on YouTube.

  • Windows 3.1 saves the day during CrowdStrike outage — Southwest Airlines scrapes by with archaic OS
  • Windows 3.1 absolutely did have a BSoD, and as the other person mentioned, sometimes you could press a key and the OS would recover. More often than not you needed to reboot, though. Our family PC would BSoD all the damn time, and I had to put up with it throughout a good portion of my early childhood until my dad finally bought a Windows 98 SE PC. But that OS also had its fair share of instability issues. The "illegal operation" error message was a near-daily occurance.

    It wasn't until we got our first NT-based machine (XP) that we stopped having constant issues with Windows. The DOS-based Windows OSes were notoriously unstable.

  • [Mega thread] - Biden ends bid for presidency
  • This is why the internet sucks now. Nobody maintains their own websites anymore. These days everybody just posts everything on the same handful of centralized megacorp websites. Social media killed the golden age of the web.

  • CEPHALOPODS
  • Ah yes, the Disney method. They know that they have a fanbase so loyal that they'd pay Disney for the opportunity to work for them, so Disney takes advantage of that and pays the bare minimum acceptable.

  • Crab types
  • Its good by its own merits if you stop pretending that it's imitation crab and accept it for what it is: surimi. I've even seen some brands accepting reality and starting to label it as such. I like it in ramen, fettuccine alfredo, mac and cheese, and even straight out of the fridge with a little bit of melted butter.

    That said, crab is still better in those dishes. But for the price, surimi isn't bad.

  • ‘The new normal’: work from home is here to stay, US data shows
  • Man I was I was really excited for this one, given my shitty experience with job hunting in the past (as I've mentioned). So today I finally went to the website, filled out their survey... Got one job listing in my results, for a programming gig. Yes seriously, just one single shitty result. I don't even know how to code. *sigh*

    Thanks for trying but I should have known better than to get my hopes up. Guess I'll just die.

  • Photorealism
  • Reminds me of when ESRB used to distinguish between "cartoon violence" and "realistic violence", in the freaking 90s. Meanwhile it's 30 years later and we still don't have photorealistic graphics. (Unrecord comes close, but that's not even out yet and it's still not indistinguishable from reality.)

  • Day 3 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots
  • The first game is more of an interactive movie than anything. The kind of game you play on the easiest difficulty. But at least the story is engaging. Keeps you at the edge of your seat the entire time.

    Alan Wake 2—on the other hand—not so much. The story is boring and dare I complain that it has too much gameplay. It feels more like a completely different franchise than a sequel. I have severe ADHD so I'm not a fan. They overcomplicated everything and removed the waypoint; I found myself constantly having to pause the game every 30 seconds or so to orient myself, and most of the time I forget what I was supposed to be doing in the first place.

    People with normal brains will probably enjoy Al 2 way more than the original, but it's not for me.
