Mediocre drone pilot. Dilettante. Crawling backwards out of heaven. Part of the problem.

seriously if you're linux-curious but don't wanna fuck up your Important Computer, get a used thinkpad on ebay and pick one of the basic bitch starter distros like mint or ubuntu or cinnamon and play around on it. if you don't vibe with one of those try switching to another before giving up. no risk

Really nice review πŸ™ and a very good reminder I needed to just let yourself…enjoy things. And kinda wild that a gacha port(ish) is this good. Time to go finish my Octopath 2 playthrough I think…

1-panel SMBC comic update - Two men are walking in the woods. The first asks the second how he can know that he's a brain in a vat experiencing an illusory reality. The second man's rebuttal to him being in an actual body experiencing a reality is that it would be unreasonable to suggest that an entire cosmos lined up just to give him the experience of walking though a park that morning. The caption below the comic reads : "Technically, external-world skepticism is the most parsimonious theory."

More parsimonious is that you're just a brain in a sous vide.

Blame yourself or Kazutoyo Maehiro β€” Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles Spilling all the details on Square Enix's fabulous new remaster of the all-time classic in a AMA-style early review

Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles is here, and it’s an impressive remaster of the classic PlayStation SRPG.

For my review, I did something a bit different: Gathered your AMA-style questions, and spilled tea on the new graphics, Delita’s kissability/punchability, difficulty, and more!

This owns, thanks Kaye! πŸ™ I’m sure all the work to streamline the various feeds has been, uh, non-trivial to say the least.

What's your secret to being online all the time without contracting computer madness? For me it's being pure of heart

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:

1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;

2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;

3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

It’s so bizarre to me how 2020 shedded these guys’ minds. It was hugely inspiring to me to see a moment of cross-cultural solidarity, but I guess I’m just built different

I was asked to elaborate on how I've done this. If you also want to do this, do the following:

1) Go to bsky.app/profile/skyw... and click "Subscribe". Set at least "Fully Automated Reply Guy", "Follow Farming" to Hide

2) Go to bsky.app/profile/did:... and bsky.app/profile/did:... + "Block All"

Apple has gotten shit for not going all-in on AI but they published an interesting paper in response.

"Through extensive experimentation across diverse puzzles, we show that frontier LRMs face a complete accuracy collapse beyond certain complexities."
