sure, snooker is fine and all for a casual game but it is no crokinole

Lol I did mix those up, my b

morrowind throwback -> Boots Of Blinding Speed

The boots do make you run extremely fast, but they also unfortunately make you blind.

I want to stress I didn’t come up with the idea, it fell out of the sky right onto the path before me when I was heading out of Seyda Neen.

then you gotta be like “shhh don’t tell anyone but CHICKENS ARE SECRETLY DINOS”

You are aware there is a Fe right?

There are plenty of affordable VSTi software instruments that sound amazing, you don’t have to spend the money you did.

I like it better without the comma, let me say the phrase with an awkward rhythm to it you grammar tyrant.

Even up to present day conflict tanks breaking down or getting stuck can be a major loss of armor, especially during prolonged maneuvers.

Disgusting and scary.

For what it is worth I am not trying to dunk on being awkward, introverted or neurodivergent in a way that makes it hard to be confident in “normal” social situations (i.e. a normal defined by people with a brain entirely unlike yours). I don’t mean that kind of computer geek.

The thing is, there are plenty of hot people who would think you are hot for being exactly that precise kind of nerd, or artist, or just different person with a different brain it’s just that interesting and different people are usually shy because of how people treat them for being interesting and different and so it is hard to actually find that other hot cool weirdo and get into a conversation with them. Once you do, you are off to the races into some weird kind of sexy nerdy wonderous relationship and all this incel nonsense collapses in one moment of looking into their eyes.

The losers I am talking about never get to that point because they are never nice enough to a woman long enough to have them gaze into their eyes like that and a whole lot of them went into computers or business…

The people I am attacking are too narrow minded to understand that the reason nobody they are attracted to wants to talk to them is the way they treat the people they are attracted to in moment to moment social interactions and also in political ideology and values.

Computers are cool as fuck, computer people are great, we just need more cool people to dilute and displace the toxicity of this kind of ingrown toxic male masculinity that permeates a lot of video game and computer circles. It isn’t just bad for women, it actually erodes the capacity of the men in these circles to critically think, in otherwords this shit is brainworms.

TL;DR Make Computing Great Again a.k.a. bring it back to it’s roots a.k.a. make it queer, feminine and militantly focused on fighting oppression and totalitarian ideologies again

I mean I take your point but again you are just describing the technical details of localization. The little fiddly bits that can be automated and neatly dealt with by a computer or person with an accountant’s mindset for making sure little things plug neatly and cleanly into other little things. Any concept of “localization” that does not include careful consideration of the vast territory of nuance that surrounds the much easier technical details seems useless to me in the context of solving any actual real world problem.

When it comes to the actual hard parts about localization I am fairly certain almost every computer professional I have ever met or talked to does not understand them. The more successful a computer person is in their career the more they tend to think everything in the world functions like computers and thus they don’t need to try to understand alternate systems or phenomena that don’t adhere to their narrow tool belt of critical thinking strategies that can’t handle even a homeopathic amount of ambiguity or subjective nuance.

These types of people spend all day thinking in programs and then go home and play factorio and they think they are the smartest people in the entire universe, and they are idiots. Very very skilled idiots.

Not to tech bros, they were to hungover from their sketchy frat bro ragers full of men hoping to get lucky and commit sexual assault to pay attention in that one humanities class they took freshman year.

Language studies are an obsolete profession to them, the future they have built is bullshit all the way down, there is nothing left to study other than the language of utter incompetency and proud willful ignorance steeped in chauvinism which they eminate like a 2005 vintage Abercrombie & Fitch mall store eminated vapors of shitty cologne.

I think it isn’t just about the algorithm of moderation not being perfect, the nature of the moderation problem itself demands an answer of a fuzzy type.

Any single moderation system can never create an acceptable and stable solution. The distortion from edge cases, trolls that exploit them and outside bullshit inveitably leads to toxicity and centralization under a harsh group think (censorship of palestinian voices on bluesky being one example).

Any real solution to the problem must be of an architecture of diversity, with many different moderation policies and authorities that 99% of the time agree in spirit (until they don’t and then sometimes a difficult parting of ways occurs).

It is much more difficult to prey on a community as a nazi troll when every damn fediverse instance seems to draw the red line differently and not only does that make being a toxic edgey boi much harder especially if you have no functioning moral compass left… but also somehow even with all that disgusting lack of conformity every single progressive community immediately recognizes you for being a nazi.

I mean this isn’t actually that complicated, we just live in a moment where we have materially disempowered artists and creatives who understand this kind of thing implicitly.

In a reality where the tech press had any sense of vision or independence the headline would simply read “Ok Now Your Turn Oligarchs”,

Too bad Luigi isn’t a cop, then they might have given him a slap on the wrist and a description of events in the media that read “last night the trigger of Luigi’s self defense weapon caused ignition in the barrel which resulted in a bullet being ejected at high speed. Healthcare provider and loyal family man Brian Thomson was tragically caught in the path of the (*several) bullets. Authorities are investigating the bullets to determine their motive.”

Sure but also ugggh

They will break the internet as much as they need to in order to accomplish this.

The third part is youtube keeps implementing more sophisticated ad blocking to the point you can’t block ads…

I’m sorry I am not trying to dispute the spirit of your respose but I have to disagree, freight trains are thousands of feet long and haul unbelievably large quantities of material, the idea that it is inefficient to have a human (really a pair of humans) oversee and be responsible for a machine that large is laughable honestly.

…so is the idea that there is a genuine shortage of people willing to work as conductors, it is a convenient lie companies tell to rationalize why nobody wants to work for them because they pay shit and respect their employees so little that they won’t even give them unpaid time for necessary doctors appointments (see recent action of US train workers).

This point is even more true for passenger trains.

It is a massive responsibility we can afford to pay two humans to do it, a certain micro amount of inefficiency is ok.

In order for this to be accurate, the building plans would need to encoded so only the building designers have any clue how the building works and how safe it is.

Also moving around random mundane objects in the building like a picture frame on an office wall not infrequently causes a cascading and horrendous displacement of all the other objects in the building.

To open the breaker box involves operating two sets of panels, first the building tries to get you to use the new updated breaker panel interface but it was designed by the portion of the company that was told to sell more “cloud rooms” which are tiny and full of cameras that monitor residents and serve ads to them over a preinstalled intercom, so the first panel hides all the normal rooms and you have to find a latch and a set of 30 screws that when removed allows you to access the old breaker panel with all the other rooms. Every single time you open the breaker you have to repeat this process.

There is a building supervisor that used to be at least somewhat helpful when residents had questions but they got replaced by a new person. The replacement confusingly advertises nearby chain stores to you when you call them up to ask about a plumbing issue and answers specific questions about the building they are in charge of oddly, as if they were questions about buildings in general all over the world.

I feel like I am missing some key things here, but this is at least a somewhat accurate starting point for a microsoft word building.
