Imagine being in 2018+7 and after finally abandoning the sewer of the internet and moving to barely-an-improvement Bluesky, you take a screenshot of your Bluesky post, open the bane of civilization, the killer of democracy, the Guantanamo Bay of the digital world, motherfucking Facebook and pretend like you’re an upstanding, principled citizen.

Oh, but actually his post is the lowest of the low, making potshots at the sheep instead of addressing the policy itself. Declaring English the official language is the virtue-signaling of the right. Nobody cares about the actual goal, implementation or effects of such a declaration; the politicians and their voters and Steve here only care about the optics.

Darling, you know I love you, but I can’t stay in a marriage if you insist on marrying every person who sees this image.

There’s something weird about the naming scheme here.

1. Article about X₀ (Air Bud)
2. List of articles about X₁ (Dogs playing basketball)
3. Lists of articles about X₂ (Dogs playing sports)
4. List of lists of lists

Level 3 should have been “List of lists of articles”. And if 4 had been fully specified as “List of lists of lists of articles about X₃”, it wouldn’t contain itself.

The real “scorched earth” strategy:

1. Format system drive
2. Reinstall Arch
3. Keep all your files on the data drive
4. Run your personal setup script to put everything back how you like it
5. (Optional) Be happy

Edit: forgor 6. Tell everyone you use Arch

I thought it was pretty good. I don’t think Judy was that career-driven in the movie, but a writer can take some liberty with a character to create a little drama. Both of them reacted believably to the situation and each other, and also the art is very expressive, which is good.

My only gripe is that they barely tried to resolve their conflict. Judy and Nick work well under pressure and I think they would’ve taken a step back, affirmed that they’re still a team, had an open discussion and come to a compromise. This isn’t a discussion to have in 5 minutes and then break up over, this needs a good night’s sleep.

I thought Judy and Nick communicated better when they were having a slut-off at the tantric spa.

I need this version, I was just rewatching and my version just translates it as “Shocker”. It did go for “you’re not only a lolicon, you’re also an M (TL note: M is common Japanese slang for masochist)”.

Fuck, these files have been on my disk for 10 years. Is it too late to replace them now? Won’t they feel bad about being abandoned after living most of their lives on my computer?

I was thinking Flip Flappers

Drinking peach -196 with the homies at the 196 meetup

I learned it by looking up a guide on how to win at the Mahjong minigame in Yakuza 0. The guide existed. It was a crash course on how to play Riichi Mahjong.

I also played a lot of Mahjong Soul after that. It’s a little easier to open a website than having to walk over to the Mahjong parlor every time, but a lot less atmospheric.

I spent 40 hours in the Mahjong parlor, waiting for my businesses to drop off their monthly profits so I could invest it again. It is an accurate depiction of being a crime boss, dammit!

That’s German. The French say “á rit gateaux”

I read it as the reverse initially. Thought it was a classic Lemmy take for what looked like a newspaper article. Why- who- how could someone know about the culture war and the class war and draw this conclusion? (Ed: she doesn’t know about the class war, see below)

Or maybe it’s a bait title and the body makes a completely different point, that’s probably the reason I’m looking at a picture of the title right now and not reading the whole article.

Edit: the article

Edit 2: It’s actually a kinda muddled argument she’s making. She’s using “class war” not in the sense a marxist might use, but to describe something a populist party would do, which is turning public anger towards a specific demographic to justify their political actions. She doesn’t want Labour to alienate the richer parts of its voter base by “bashing the most wealthy” or “punishing the rich”. But she doesn’t show that Labour would actually message it like that, just that they have plans that would tax wealthier people more, which seems perfectly Labour-like and not something they would need special messaging to justify. So if Labour wants to pivot away from a culture war and towards actual left-wing policy, that’s not “starting a class war”.

She may be a little too deka.

…we’ll get rid of the stairs if we need to.

Finally somewhere my knowledge of anime can improve the world! The character is Yotsuba and her hair is green, not blue, so one color for both the tree and her hair is absolutely fine!

Not really true though. Computers are still better at math. They’re even pretty good at coding, if you count compiling high-level code into assembly as coding.

But in this case we built a language machine to respond to language with more language. Of course it’s not going to do great at other stuff.

~1990-2005-ish

1990: Mega Drive, SNES, Neo Geo
1994: Sega Saturn, Playstation
1996: N64
1998: Dreamcast
2000: PS2
2001: GameCube, Xbox
2005: Xbox 360
2006: PS3, Wii

Those are all consoles normally considered retro, except for maybe that last gen. I think the era that’s missing a term is 2005-2015, but there’s actually not a whole lot happening in those years. PS4 and Xbox One? The age of cheap gaming PCs?

It is hard by the end, but it gradually eases you into it. It also makes failure very comfortable, just spawns you right back, takes very little time at all, so there’s some levels where I just brute-forced my way through with a hundred deaths. But I did hit all necessary jumps for real and next time I was there, I did it first try. Going back to 1a after clearing 7b really felt like when a lvl 100 wizard returns to the starting area, but my in-game power didn’t change this time, it was all pure skill and it felt amazing.

I am once again convinced the Mandela Effect is a government psyop to retcon history and target anyone who doesn’t fall in line and accept the new reality.

I mean,

Fruit of the Loom never had the cornucopia. It must have been the wind.

Yeah, the common EPS initiative (mandating USB 2.0 micro-B) was in effect since 2009. That’s right around the time smartphones were getting popular. Even my last slide phone had micro-USB. Maybe there were different models for different markets though, a product doesn’t need to follow EU law if it’s only sold in the US.
