  • I don’t know why people are freaking out over this article. It’s pretty well known that lots of animals (especially within their own class) have eggs that can be fertilized by different species. It doesn’t matter like 99.99% of the time because the resulting cell is unviable and will not develop into anything because the merged DNA is incompatible and will fail to generate into a developed organism.

    The exception to this are hybrids (like a mule), rare cases where similar enough species can actually create a viable fetus, but the resultant hybrid is usually sterile and unable to reproduce its own offspring: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_(biology)

    Unless the library is tracking book reader stats or you actually check out the book, maybe remember how the classification system works like they were supposed to teach you in school?

    Half the time I’m literally standing in front of the shelf perusing the book, it would be dumb to throw it in the book return unless I don’t know or can’t find the exact position where it came from.

    $400 console

    The only thing that qualifies is an Xbox series S, even Switch 2 is $450 lmao.

    Even funnier when you consider “PC” consoles like Steam Deck or Legion which gives you a even wider access to games, including exclusives thanks to emulation.

    Hell Sony and Microsoft gave up on the console exclusive system because PC & Steam demonstrated the expanded market is worth the tradeoff when your console hardware is basically a computer.

    That didn’t used to be the case even up to the PS4 when the hardware was still targeted for games like high VRAM, but that’s no longer the case.

    It gets even better with Switch emulation because it was a glorified Android tablet that was already outdated on arrival, meaning you can play Switch games even on your phone thanks to ARM instruction pass-through techniques.








  • Yeah the only environment it seems to fit is the military which sort of makes sense for how often you get smoked long before you ever see combat or even just active duty.

    And even then most military people have a cleaned up citizen dictionary for whenever they’re not with their buddies.

    Anything outside of that just seems excessive and vulgar for no apparent gain or reason. Even funny and wildly profane comments online don’t use expletives as much as some people do IRL.

    There has to be wordplay and emphasis to make it justied (or funny like the gorilla warfare copypasta), otherwise it just comes of the same as ending every single sentence or phrase with “lol”.

    Ubuntu, and the experience was crap lol.

    Then I got to try Debian on a server and it was much nicer.

    Then I saw Torvalds uses Fedora, and given that he also disliked Debian and Ubuntu for their lack of end user ease, I switched and have been happy ever since.

    Seriously though, GNOME 40 really should not be the default DE. It made me think Linux UI was years behind Windows when it was actually the opposite with proven DEs like XFCE, KDE, and GNOME 3/2 etc.


  • Criticism of one of the worst democratic party campaigns is clearly the mark of a tankie.

    There’s just no way telling your constituency and voter base to “fuck off” would have any kind of negative consequence on the election.

    It’s just simply impossible. We clearly lost because the tankies from .ml ran a nationwide psyop that lead to losing every single swing state.





  • First time ever I might actually consider paying for a pirate solution back like the R4 days because someone is actually gonna need the funding to make proper homebrew that will keep up with Nintendo’s DRM, or sell mod chip services to keep up with Nintendo’s DRM. Switch revisions and OLED aren’t even software hackable, or at least no one has discovered any big unpatchable vulnerability like the launch Switch.

    And no offense to the talented people who work on Switch hacking, but the CFW and homebrew is honestly pretty basic and lame because everyone has to keep constantly updating for firmware releases and dancing around Nintendo’s own zombified BSD system to coax things just to work.

    Suddenly all that crap about team xecutor goes out the window when they offer an OS better than Nintendo, even if their intention was just to make a dedicated hack launcher.
