So, Covid killed Sinead O'Conner, like (some of us) thought.

First everybody claimed it was suicide, then they decided they weren't interested, and now we get a massive "Pre-existing conditions killed her" minimization.

Welcome to all of our future deaths.💀

Been a while since I posted something on here showing progress of the project I've been working on.
So here it is! All neonly now! I'm quite happy going with this theming cuz it's easy to maintain and I need to shift my focus on making a small mission driven singleplayer "campaign" like in Shellshock Live as well as improve the online experience and a tutorial. Those are the last really important parts I should get done (Improve Online as in figure out how to best cover my ass legally and have some sort of lobbies with simple settings and private option)

When we say “billionaires should not exist,” what we mean is:

Everyone should have healthcare.
Everyone should have housing.
Everyone should have access to good food and clean water.

Billionaires are a policy failure.

A ton more progress has been made on the pony gas mask. A lot of work went into to optimizing the valve and hose fittings to fit into the compact space and have good flow. And there is now a nice comfy face seal.

"AI" is just "techbros summarizing things badly" at scale.

Everything catastrophically wrong with the world was done to make some billionaire even richer.

Every town that had to evacuate due to a chemical spill, strip mining, or a never-ending underground fire was done to make some billionaire even richer

Every news article that pits white people against minorities and immigrants is written to distract us from billionaires destroying democracy, human rights and the planet to make themselves even richer.

The billionaires are the problem.

Mary Shelley doesn't get enough credit for not only anticipating the silver-spooned narcissist techbro who recklessly creates technology without thinking through the consequences, but also for knowing that said techbro would be an absolutely terrible father.

Techbros would have just funded Victor's project. They don't have a mad science bone in their bodies.

I had to read Frankenstein at school…a much better read overall I thought than Dracula. And it still blows my mind that Mary Shelley was only 18 years old when she wrote it. She’s buried in St Peter’s Church graveyard in the centre of Bournemouth…my old stomping ground.

Today is the last day to bid on Sunset Coyote! Is this gorgeous fursuit coming home with you?? 💛🧡🩷💜

Oh that is clever...

I was called to a job yesterday.. "they just cut through their internet cable while redecorating, both ends of the cable are accessible, they just need rejoining."
🔌
Nobody told me one end was a ~100pair (200 wires) and had been cut almost back to the wall.
Needless to say.. I couldn't repair their internet, without having engineering access to put a tone on the line from the exchange I had no hope of guessing which pair it should have been connected to 😭.

When #Trump said "In four years, you won't have to vote again" he meant exactly what it sounds like.

There's no need to look for excuses or tortuous interpretations: the packaging says "fascism" and, sure enough, when you open it up, it's fascism on the inside.

This makes me so sad. The #library was a haven from my miserable, white trash childhood. I walked there nearly every day in summer, sometimes spending all day exploring every aisle. No one hassled me, I learned so much, it opened so many doors. #lgbtq #media #civilrights #freedom #idaho

Horrifying...
TundraWolf mastodon (AP)

@pippin This is worse than so much worse than saddening. This is like the Vatican proscribing books, book burning and the severe forms of state censorship that the USA used to deplore and *said* it would go to war to prevent.

(This message has been edited to correct the last sentence, which said that the USA would go to war to defend censorship, however accurate that might be now, the sentence was written with a historical perspective.)

👏 more 👏 developers 👏 need 👏 to 👏 hear 👏 this

I can count on one hand the number of my clients over the past couple of years who haven't either over-architected for scale or were unnecessarily concerned about it (prior to coming to me for strategic advice, of course 😉).

You don't need to understand Distributional Little's Law to figure this out, it's obvious with primary school level math.

In nz, "tough on crime" means cracking down on youths robbing corner food stores, by sending these children to military training camps, and hiding gang patches.

It doesn't mean being tough on domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault. It doesn't mean crackdown on wage theft by employers, violence by racists, male supremacist and gun violence, terrorism targeting minorities or men harming their former partners.

It's only targeting those that scare financially comfy conservative adults.

so this app has been long for a good decade -

the Asus Surf 4G (and many other netbooks) use interesting resolutions like 800x480, and do not offer normal 4:3 resolutions like 640x480 via their winXP display driver

that means games like Thief or Doom 3 or Half-Life won't fit on the screen in windowed or full screen modes

this is where Netbook Resolution Customizer comes in. it lets you set custom resolutions so older win9x games can use the resolutions they expect

dredged this application out of a bunch of old EeePC forums that went defunct 10 years ago, and uploaded to IA:

I really like theses results:

"Recent findings show adult New Zealanders who do not speak te reo Māori (the Māori language, the indigenous language of New Zealand) nonetheless have impressive implicit lexical and phonotactic knowledge of the language. (…)

Our results show that ambient exposure leads to implicit knowledge both in childhood and adulthood, and that continuing exposure throughout the lifespan leads to increased knowledge."

@tursilion yeah, I mean, it's still computer generated music, right? The splitting of hairs seems a little weird to me, but whatever. Thanks for the well wishes! At least I still have my toys for when I actually do have downtime. Speaking of which I recently got a 386 with a Soundblaster card. It has an Arduino CH375 for mass storage so I made a bootable USB flash drive and threw Reality Adlib Tracker on there. Bit by bit I will have a chiptune on almost every system and soundcard!

Definitely a noble goal! :)

The Cybertruck detected my child running in front of it while it was stopped so it turned itself on and ran over him
My fault tho, I shouldn't have let my child run around
Love the truck!

When I was a child, I had childish things. But as I grew up, I was able to afford a lot more childish things. And now I have way, way more childish things. I cannot stress how much these childish things rule.

#mountains fascinate me, especially the #alps. I just get all relaxed and happy when I'm walking around. The ruggedness and the feeling of being the first person walking there is what gets to me. Also the history of the places. These mountains have been there for so long, and there has happend so much. Just imagining what it must have been for the pre-historic people to walk, hunt and live there is awesome.
