This is only loosely related to your post but I just came across this project:

https://archipelago.gg/

This is a cross-game modification system which randomizes different games, then uses the result to build a single unified multi-player game. Items from one game may be present in another, and you will need your fellow players to find items you need in their games to help you complete your own.

It supports a whole shitload of games: https://archipelago.gg/games

I only just started reading about it. So far it seems like insanity.

Maybe we can still get Harvey Weinstein as head of the Department of Protecting Women from Themselves.

I used to have one, but everything I’d use it for should really be going in the compost, not the sewer.

I’m in Canada, and I sent a cbc.ca news link to someone in instagram chat. It showed a preview of the post with a picture and summary, but when the link was clicked it went to a page that said:

People in Canada can’t view this content.

Content from news publications can’t be viewed in Canada in response to Canadian government legislation.

Well I guess we must have done a really good job of limiting corporate consolidation up to this point.

This seems reasonable. I don’t feel like Canada necessarily in a less precarious place than (e.g.) California.

Old Lady should turn that period into a comma next time she’s putting poop in the bin. Or maybe just put white-out on it.

I think graphene does this by default now? Like if you don’t unlock it for 24 hours it’ll reboot.

This as close to actual England as EPCOT England has ever been.

I’d just count calories and reduce the amount per day until you’re losing weight.

The time of day you eat things shouldn’t really matter. This will also teach you really quickly how to feel full on minimal calories. For me I just try to eat something like raw carrots when I want a snack.

It’s not as stupid as this blog post makes it sound. This was a hashing function that was intentionally taking the end of the path as the most significant part. This just impacts the order of objects in a pack file, and the size of the compression window needed to compress it.

It’s not actually mistaking one file for another, and their proposed solution is not better in all situations.

Yeah, I would love to stop getting potato quality videos on MMS, but not enough to install a proprietary app. I’ll just have to create matrix accounts for more people.

I can’t vouch for it as a music player, but it’s what I use for videos when I can’t get on a bigger screen. It’s nothing like the desktop app, so you might want to give it a try.

His brain is now empty except for stand-up routines from 90s late night TV.

I love that you have a very specific and arguably moral crime in mind, and it inspired this post.

Chris LaCivita, a top Trump campaign adviser, added in a separate statement that the cemetery official was “a disgrace and does not deserve to represent the hollowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery.”

How could they resist putting a [sic] in there?

At least you still have ribs. When I do interesting stuff with the oven it usually involves my food becoming charcoal.

I case you haven’t seen it, there’s a famous photo giving that same vibe that would go around on Reddit regularly:

I guess at the 2028 Olympics they’ll be jumping on the AI bandwagon.

Why would there be one answer to this? I’d probably use all the available levels depending on the situation, in the same way I’d use --word-diff or -b in git when I need help understanding a complex change.
