  • I prefer normal text-to-speech (with subtitles ideally) if the person making the video can’t speak themselves. Vocaloids/UTAUs can also be used for voicing but I imagine that’s a lot of tedious work. They can also pay someone or ask a friend to voice their script for them.

    AI generated voices are a sign that the whole thing is slop. Not worth watching. Same applies for AI generated thumbnails.

    Chuck Norris (the real life dude) died recently,

    The post is referencing a well-known song titled “The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny”, in which Chuck Norris (as a cartoon character, the whole song is animated) descends from the heavens, beats up Indiana Jones, kills Batman, but ultimately loses to a bunch of characters ganging up on him, including every single Power Ranger. In the end of this bloody battle, only one was able to come out alive: Mr. Rogers, in a blood-stained sweater.

    Basically, I think that the post is saying that Chuck Norris (the real life dude) is dead because he was beaten up by a bunch of characters and every single Power Ranger, as the idea of that being the cause of someone’s death is absurd and ultimately funny in a way (and obviously not possible), it would parallel what happened in the animated music video.



  • Warning: This is a guess, don’t take my comment as fact! :3

    I think it’s a relic from the past, because computers do images from left-to-right, top-to-bottom, so, since your mouse cursor is an image, the top-left corner is the origin. Maybe it was too much of a hassle to center the crosshair on the origin, and instead developers or designers came up with the arrow shape.

    Since the arrow works fine, it became what’s most commonly used nowadays. The crosshair and dot have a different meaning, for example there’s a cross when resizing or dragging, and drawing programs usually use a dot or a tiny circle instead of the arrow.




  • It’s there to solve your “This is boring” issue without having to do all of the system configuration stuff manually*.

    I was able to package a nightly AppImage as if it were installed normally like an app, and I could reinstall the system if I wanted to, and it’d still be there. NixOS is the opposite of manual dependency resolution, it’s dependency heaven. You can have unstable and stable repositories side-by-side, living in a utopic egalitarian society. You can write a configuration file that does everything. You can do anything with NixOS. NixOS is the one true god, all hail NixOS—

    Ah, I see why you may not want to use it. Consider it though, it’s genuinely good and trying doesn’t hurt.

    I haven’t even told you about nix-comma or nix helper (nh) yet. May the, uh, flake be with you.

    *You do have to write the config files, though you can just adapt someone else’s configuration.
