Never heard of it

I’ve found myself needing to print something only 1-2 times per year, so I just go to the library to do it. E-waste-wise, this change is for the better

Not sure if you noticed, or if sorghum noticed, but the link about dried beans they had in their reply refers to another blog post about your question. The author found that yes, homemade bread is cheaper when considering electricity costs, but obviously YMMV depending on power costs and the price of equivalent store-bought bread

I like front ends so I have a record of what I have and have not played, and so I can easily pickup where I left off with series and playlists, but to each their own

??? the Mario movie was good. I think Hollywood as a whole is doing a lot better with video game adaptations now (let’s not talk about Borderlands), like everyone expected the Minecraft movie to crash & burn but it turned out to be a fun movie for anyone who played the game a decent amount

I found about him from the documentary “Searching for Sugar Man”. I now play his two albums quite often. His first one is nice & upbeat, while his second one is more melancholy, so I play whichever fits the mood

My favorite song is probably Hate Street Dialogue

A few other people mentioning precise GPA requirements, but for the computer science school at my (large) university it was top 10% of your class for cum laude, top 5% for magna cum laude, top 2% for summa cum laude

As someone who graduated cum laude, I sorta regret it. I wish I spent more time socializing, networking, and generally managing my anxiety better. I was able to land a job after graduating sooner than a lot of my classmates, but I also had some internships and some personal projects under my belt, so it’s hard to say how much GPA played a role. It all comes down to what’s important to you, your field, and how much work you’d be willing to put in after graduating to get your first job

Heathcliff is my personal favorite one-panel comic

Using an RSS app like Feedly to subscribe to different comics can be fun. Also comics communities on Lemmy

I used to have that problem with ln until I realized it’s essentially the same ordering as cp: source, then destination. The source being the existing file that you’re linking to, and the destination being the link that you’re creating

Video container types (.mkv, .mp4) are different from encoding types (x264, 265)

For both, the “best” or “better” is gonna depend on your use case. .mkv is nice because they bundle multiple video tracks, audio tracks, and subtitle tracks all into one file, but .mp4 is pretty much guaranteed to be playable on anything (although the number of devices that don’t support .mkv is pretty small at this point)

x265 is nice because the quality:file size ratio is much better than x264, but again, compatibility is an issue because x265 is still somewhat new, so older devices probably won’t support it.

As you can probably tell, I prefer .mkv + x265 whenever possible, but that’s only because every device I own can play them

I can smell the fedora through this post

Huge KDE fan too but there are a couple defaults that make me scratch my head. Like single clicking opens stuff instead of just selecting

Ah yes, the production of the broadcasts is creative work

Can someone explain to me how copyright, something meant for creative works, is allowed to be applied to athletes playing a fucking game? Like the athletes themselves holding the copyrights would be one thing, but the fact that they’re held by some crusty old English dudes who can’t kick a ball without throwing their back out is crazy

This is what I use to download game replays from NFL+, because they don’t have a download function for whatever reason

The platform is definitely part of the problem. Bending over backwards to serve the desires of the Trump administration and the executive class

They said they’re new to Lemmy, so they’re probably used to redditors, and anyone still on that platform is very much not okay

I worked with a physicist who wrote code that was so unreadable, it actually made me laugh. He would often include his initials in variable names, even though he was pretty much the only person working in the code base. His functions usually included a flags argument, which was a list of (usually undocumented) integers that you could pass in to change the behavior of the function. For example, one time one of his functions wasn’t giving the expected output, so I asked him and he replied “oh did you put 32 in the flags list?” Like he just didn’t understand that you shouldn’t need to read the entire contents of a function in order to understand how to use it.

Inb4 “well why didn’t you help him?” he was in his 70s and vehemently refused any advice.
