  • I didn’t read this, but did you guys know that Zerglings from the game StarCraft: Brood War have a unique upgrade called Adrenal Glands. After applying the upgrade they are colloquially referred to as “Cracklings” because they attack so quickly. This upgrade, only available after evolving a Hive, makes Zerglings extremely effective in the late game, and allows them to swarm enemy units and bases much more effectively. Despite their small size and low health, with this upgrade, Zerglings can become a critical component of the Zerg army, showcasing the game’s strategic depth and the importance of upgrades.



  • Sounds like you already have a solid plan.

    If you have any old laptops or desktops you could convert those instead of using a Pi, but the Pi will work wonders as long as it’s not going to be a 4K TV. Your only real concern here is making sure whatever device you use is able to output video at the TV’s resolution and display hertz.

    You’ll probably have more difficulty finding a TV that isn’t a smart TV, than finding a home theater device that is capable of streaming nowadays.






  • Lmao nah. Lemmy is just decentralized censorship. Anyone can ban or block anything else; anyone can start their own community instance and kill it on a whim. Multiple communities have already defederated in the less than a year that I’ve been on here.

    Lemmy solves the issue of centralized censorship/echo chamber communities, by replacing them with individual personalized echo chambers that you get to censor yourself. It’s a lot of work to set it up and sustain that type of situation, so it’s not realistic for a rational person that does not have a severe internet addiction to waste their time and effort doing it.






  • It doesn’t matter what you think about AI. It’s very clear that this technology is here to stay and will only improve. From this point on AI will become deeply integrated into human culture and technology, after all we’ve been fetishizing it for almost 100 years now. Your only logical option as a developer is to learn how to use it and abuse it. Choosing not to do so is career suicide, possibly even societal suicide depending on how quickly adoption happens.

    You’re probably right, in the near future people that can’t use it will be fired. To that point they should be fired. Why the fuck would I allow my accounts to do their financal work on paper when Excel exists?

    Welcome to the future.
