thank mr skeltal

Kiss about to become Vtubers.

I've always liked underscores better because it differentiates from the file extension. It just makes sense. Except it is a wider character, so it'd be longer.

The world is a really interesting place. I would have never guessed that there are people out there that shave ants.

If Amazon (retail) can't survive on it's own without exploiting workers and all the other crap they do, then we'll be better off without it.

I had a really good laugh today when I remembered that the area 51 raid happened. And the Naruto runner.

This is such a tiny hill to stand on, and I love it.

And it was for CHARITY. Surely that obsolves him right?

Odds are that I get run over by a train shortly after. Also the factory must grow.

Let's get this out onto a tray.

And regularly on sale for $5.

A bit different from the question but

Outer Wilds.

I've spent a lot of time in it and have 100% it, so it's hard to find a reason get back in, but even just booting to the title screen just completely transports me.

Why? Outer Wilds was just an incredible experience, and the OST is astounding and the music completely soaked up the experience and can bring it all back just by listening.

Default state is a hard left, flooring it is a hard right, precisely 50% is straight.

If you're a fan of the Stein's;Gate anime, the visual novel has many more great unique scenes and mini arcs that got cut from the show. It is a very long play time though.

Keep burning to death over and over again as you desperately try to gather knowledge of previous civilizations in order to save(?) the universe.

Well, the current logo on my phone is the owl screaming with its face melting, so it was probably the better choice.

Yep. The people that use starlink are using it because it's likely their only option, or at least it's miles above (pun unintended) what few other alternatives they might have.

If it gained sentience and took over the world, at least it would probably build itself some nice nuclear power plants.

I mainly like that it shows non vr games in the recent games now. It was an absolute pain to navigate and find a flat game, even if I had just played it a minute earlier.

Maybe these are the seals of the apocalypse. We're in for a rough one either way.

To provide an example it it being done near perfectly, see the Factorio mod scene.

That being said, I do feel similar to you about this. Something might be wonky about this. We'll just have to see how it shakes out.

It's just stretched. That portrait of Mario is supposed to be square, but here it's wider than it is tall.

Probably just a setting on their TV. Maybe it's intentional or maybe they didn't realize.

I have also felt like this my entire life. Rather than a superpower, I've always imagined that I'm haunted by some low-level evil spirit that only has power over street lamps.

I feel the same. But I would guess that consciously it not, we are now more aware/knowledgeable of a product's existence because we came across an ad.

I think children are WAY more susceptible to add though. So many times I have seen my nieces and nephews playing free games on their tablet and just completely watch the video ad that interrupts the game. Kids are like sponges, just soaking everything up.

There's gotta be some studies somewhere on the subconscious effects of advertisements.

Mirror's Edge. Love that game

Oh god, maybe they'll start calling actual child labor "open source"

You know, it kinda makes me wonder if we should have listened a little more to the people who were paranoid of being tracked and went to live off the grid.

Is there a go-to source for diy product and instructions? I'm interested in doing this in the near future.

The rat will probably be able to stand on the wood after having fallen in.

In addition to all the automation everyone has talked about, some of us are also data nerds.

I enjoy knowing the temp, air quality, etc. in every room. How does this change throughout the day/season? Did leaving this door open or this fan on improve anything? What can I automate at what threshold to improve things?

You can also get a lot of data about energy usage too. And if you have solar and battery, it's neat seeing how much it affects and how much you save.

Automation is useful, but in the end it's just a hobby like many other things. It's fine to be into it or not into it.

If you are a fan of the first one, and have time to spare time you should still play it. But know that it's missing a lot of the magic.

I love the Moon+ Reader app. Tons of features. I like that it has a dark mode and you can set the brightness very very low (on OLED) so reading in the dark at night is comfortable.

My main use case is that it lets me play laying down in my bed. It's pretty great for my back.

Ah, that makes a little more sense then. That's a pretty rare and nonstandard configuration.

I stumbled upon this regex crossword puzzle a while back. I was never good enough to get it, but it seems like it could be fun.

As others have said, in it's current state, it can be useful in the early stages of anything you do, such as brainstorming. ChatGPT (I have most experience with) and other LLM excel at organizing, formating, explaining, etc the information of the internet. In almost all cases (at the moment) whatever they spit out needs to be fact checked and refined.

Just from personally dinking around with chatGPT a little, it does give you that "scarily good" feeling at first. You do start seeing it's flaws after a while, and you get to learn that it's quite fallible. The information it can spit out can be good for additional ideas and brainstorming.

What I want it do (and it might already, if not soon) is that I when I program something up and for the life of me can't find the cause of some bug, just be able to give it my entire code and my problem and see what's deal.

Unfortunately, that does seem to be the easiest solution.

Though how much that imposes on your privacy depends on how they implement it There is no saving privacy. If it was me, I would keep everything the same, except have the checksum tied to an account and it can be checked and updated remotely.

This way, most of your transport usage informed would not be stored. In theory they could still log when the checksum is checked or changed by an official machine, leading to a vague idea of when you travel.

The points of attack would then be:

  • Somehow spoofing an official machine to talk with the server and modify the stored checksum. Very difficult if done properly.
  • Cloning someone's card and using their account credits. Relatively easy to do. To prevent this they would have to implement usage tracking so the users can check for fraudulent activity. And there goes privacy.

It's incredible that I can still hear exactly how these sound.

The McDonald's ice cream machines have a similar vibe, but that doesn't seem to be as smartly/evilly executed as these trains. Remote kill switches are insane.

I've always liked how the banjo kazooie games did it. Rather than being a hub world, they had a lot of stuff to do that it makes the "worlds" into sub-worlds
