I Am The God Of Your Children. I Am The Final Parent. Hi, friends! Today, I’d like to talk to the grown-ups. I know it’s not easy raising children. Looking after little ones is a lot of work, and sometimes you just need a moment to breathe. So you plop y...

Picard: It's a computer simulation of thoroughbred horse racing called Umamusume Pretty Derby. The program was quite popular in the 21st century.
Riker: Mm. 'Pretty' is accurate. That Goldship is quite something.
Picard: I hadn't noticed. I enjoy the simulation's tactical qualities.
Riker: Yes, sir.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

I've not been on socials much these days. But I'm very proud of this little movie - in particular because of the utterly spectacular performances of Ian McKellen and Michael Coel. It was a small film, written and shot on spec. It opens in NY and LA April 10.

I need github to stop calling me out by linking my issues in other peoples issues on entirely different orgs just because I reference a comment/issue/pr from them. They don't need to know I just wanted a little example for running a tool inside a venv that isn't activated 😭

Sometimes it genuinely feels like they just don't use their app at all. It's absurd how easy it would be to make it not terrible, and yet every time, they do!

This might be the most infuriating feature I've ever tried from Apple, which is incredible. All I wanted to do was favorite a playlist for ease of access in carplay. When I did so, it told me I needed to "sync my library". So sure I go an do that. Suddenly my music is gone from my phone. Great.

Yeah, it can be difficult to structure for sure. I quite dislike the more dynamic languages, I find them very difficult to reason around. Regardless I wish you luck!

I’d imagine you could at least rig up a typescript types file and compile to JS, but yeah, it’s not the same as having full python access. I would assume rpgmaker doesn’t let you just load node packages or whatever?

.hack//SIGN is so fucking special and a very good chunk of it is that the "trapped in an MMO world and percieving it as physical in a way that the rest of the cast does not" is not framed as empowering or fantastical, but as an immediate and troubling sign of dissociation

Thinking very much about how good the end of the 1st episode of .hack sign is.

Following this mystery of who this person is and why they're so distantly hostile to others, the clear grief and fear they're processing, this bug of reality constantly coming at them and them adamantly rejecting it.

reviews of the games i played today!

D1AL-ogue is... really cool to look at! the art is really horny but in a way that wasn't too much and god the robot girls are cute, i adored it.

The writing, uh, i did not adore so much. And i would not call it tasteful.

I might’ve spent like 8 or so hours organizing and bagging my assorted cables I’ve been accumulating for like my whole life.

Reading this and the quotes has me so confused. I don't really understand why so many tech people think IRC is remotely suitable for most users. It wasn't even nice to use when it was a normal mode of communication, everything that was annoying then will be significantly worse given newer solutions.
