The furry milestone of carefully browsing through your gifs/stickers making VERY sure not to misclick on a nsfw within the minefield.

after releasing my first game on steam, i should collect all of my games on itch.io, and make them as a collection with maybe a little more polish and with a selector menu to go between them and then sell that collection.

So I'm trying out the phanpy.social masto client and there's a lot to like here. While it isn't super configurable, It has some very good defaults around how it presents stuff and solves a lot of my annoyances with the regular Masto UI. So far the only things I really miss is the ability to turn off boosts in a timeline (though it does already de-emphasize boosts a lot by stuffing them into a carousel if there are multiple of them in a row) and there's minor differences in keyboard shortcuts that I might either fix with a userscript or something or just learn to deal with.

I'd really like to see the ability to add super-configurable columns a-la old TweetDeck but I imagine that's a non-trivial feature to implement pretty much anywhere.

Founded in 2031, MORGN was the first Frictionless Autonomous Enterprise, a corporation whose employees are entirely AI constructs devoted to implementing the desires of the CEO. Often, the CEO is the sole human involved.

Since the CEO's view of their corporation is supplied by the AI employees, the world of the FAE is somewhat detached from the ordinary human world. Outside visitors are often fascinated and disoriented. Making deals with the FAE has benefits, but also many perils.

I found this neat little game that explores trust and cooperation from a game theory perspective. :blobcataww:

I've been bouncing between games lately, so just to get some short thoughts out there:

I Wanna Lockpick: I enjoyed it for quite a while, and the game continues to be clever and inventive, but after a point, the game becomes increasingly math-brained (the whole game is math-brained, but the veneer of pure puzzler becomes thinner), and I am not a pure-maths person. Still an easy recommend for the sheer ingenuity. #iwannalockpick

Nova Drift: This game is a modern take on the old Asteroids arcade game. I grew up as a poverty kid, and one of the games on my first computer was Asteroids, so it's already hitting a nostalgia nugget in my brain. But the design of Nova Drift understands how to capitalize on Asteroids' movement mechanics in ways that the original really didn't, making for a shockingly strategic action shooter. #novadrift

I'm a Waymo customer. Autonomous robotaxis feel to me like an inevitable future, but only time will tell if that turns out to be true.

Shock and awe plan for fixing the U.S. ...

2024 - 2036: Only black women get to vote.

2036 - 2052: Black men and all women get the vote.

2052 - 2068: All men except white men get the vote.

2068: white men permitted to vote again.

Just a proposal. Would fix most of what's wrong with the U.S., in less than three generations.

My pet peeve with speculative fiction / sci-fi is that even the more radical visions rarely remove the idea of nuclear families as the default way to bring up offspring, and monogamous forever-relationships as a legal institution.

I can only think of Ursula K Le Guin and Ian McDonald who have gone there.

Do you know other authors?

re: X’s latest change (“blocked users can now still see your posts”), i’m a little confused by the outrage because this was also true before viewing posts required an account in the first place (another Musk-era change). the blocked person just had to sign out or create a sock puppet

... If a hive mind like the Borg became a citizen in time for the election, would they have one vote or a billion votes? Maybe each unit has to become a citizen individually? Assume that I'm a citizen, I've married the Borg, and I gave birth to twin Borglets who are a single mind and are now legal age to vote. Also, each Borglet's left eye can detach and move independently on spider-like legs. Erica's eye is studying Lithuanian art history and wants us to call him Benas. Does he get to vote?

audiobooks are annoyingly difficult to search. I wish they came with a transcript. I can also read the transcript faster than the narrator can talk. I just need an audio UI for the car so I can drive while reading audiobook transcripts

TIL that mad about you (the 90s sitcom) did a vr episode

in 1994

what the actual fuck

I mean yes same year as lawnmower man but

It’s fucking mad about you

The square effect over the vr backgrounds alone. I just.

Episode is somehow up on YouTube.

I would also like to add that the vr setup in the episode was built by a 14 year old.

Mad about you called Palmer Luckey almost 20 years early.

A random artwork from my gallery:

"Duicat di Urbino" — 2015

Long Venus is long! I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that if Titian were alive today, he would have painted it just like this.

... I feel like the theme of this decade was set by the Four Seasons Total Landscaping incident in 2020. Are we sure the press conference location wasn't chosen by an LLM? GPT-3 was released earlier that year

indentation levels should be variable based on how important your code feels.

• so classes should get 4 spaces, but then if blocks should only get 2.
• a function should get 3 because it’s kind of important but not as important as the class, unless the function is really important, then it gets 4.
• the main loop of your program should get 5 or 6 spaces
• unsafe blocks in rust are so important they should get 11 spaces to put them in the center of your screen

I've been playing Infinity Island, by Luca Redwood, the You Must Build A Boat guy. It's themed as one of those collect-the-animals F2P games, but it's structured more like a clicker, with a half dozen different currencies that interact via a half dozen different upgrade interfaces. I've been playing for several days but some of the most basic stuff is still mysterious to me, to the point that I feel like it must be on purpose? Like it feels overcomplicated past the point of satire.
