The world economy is run by the sort of people that will start a three year long tumblr thread where people slowly realize that a celebrated fanfic author never learned how to use a toilet seat, and is in fact not housebroken and pees in the kitchen sink.

Lapsed fujos I need you to lock in right tf now

I can't deal with this shit!!!! Because what do you mean that the moment they met fulgrim and ferrus stripped down and started forging weapons and then gave the other the weapon they made??? How am I supposed to live with this knowledge, knowing what we know of Isstvan V?? Howwwwww

I hope for a 2029 where the logical game theory thing for a dozen very specific, very rich people to do in order to avoid convictions is to disappear as completely as those crypto exchange guys who had to hide from the literal no shit italian la cosa nostra.

Trip report Star Trek Outposts Unnown. The star trek fans are mad because it doesn't feel thematically like star trek. The colony sim fans are mad because the resource economy in the early game is fucked and it takes two hours of idle work to get rolling.

I'm in the middle; I think it's a cromulent take on Workers and Resources that makes a lot of rookie factory game mistakes. I've been treating it like dwarf fortress where I queue up a lot of tasks and then window it in the corner to watch my little dudes run around.

For $30 I can't recommend it in this state. If it survives long enough to get meaningful balance adjustments and maybe a price drop to $20 then it's a fine idle game, but otherwise it won't compete with factorio, w&r, timberborn, etc

BTW, there's 20 year old reality tv series I'm obsessed with called Wall Street Warriors, which started out as a typical reality tv douchebag-off about day traders and grifters. Except that they were filming the day Bear Sterns went bankrupt. The rest of the series is only the finest schadenfreude.

I think every phpbb or vbulletin site that does not bring in at least 100k a year to mitigate tech debt is just toast forever. Gone. Kaput. The sea level on the internet has risen and you can't reinforce a house built on the beach in 1954 to survive being in the ocean on stilts in 2026.

Where’s that ramsus quote about not caring about memory leaks because he just restarts apache every 10 requests

Like lowkey the emudhra fuckup is huge for retrocomputing and iot hacking because you can sign certificates trusted out of the box by things like the intel mac internet recovery, windows from xp to last week, game consoles from the psp to the 3ds...

Did the infinity blade novellas by brandon sanderson ever come back into print or are they still exiled to hell like everything else remotely connected to the epic/apple partnership?

Sometimes you see an amazing exchange in the comments of a video about costco rotisserie chicken and want to show it to everyone, like a shiny rock you found next to a street drain

As anger builds online against comedian Shane Gillis’ description of women as “whores” during his “Saturday Night Live” monologue, one party is staying noticeably absent from the conversation: “SNL” itself. https://cnn.it/4jYbunb

Twitter blasted out an email promoting their bank but you can't click the unsubscribe link unless the app is installed, otherwise it sends you to the app store.

Update I already had email notifications turned off entirely but I got the spam anyway

This is a very good read and not just because it’s complimentary of me… This guy is absolutely right and I subconsciously have thought all these things but never put a waking finger on it.

My favorite part of watching the ai coding channel on work slack is when the ai keeps moving the breakage around because there's no one who understands the code enough to say "all of these bugs are because the ai put the date time code in some weird place and the other modules are working around it"

It transferred fine, and it sounds fine! But the tape basically fell apart, and so that was that, the last run through a machine for this 50 year old tape. I'll make sure it exists in a dozen places by tonight.

I’m tempted to post this proposal on a law-professor mailing list and ask whether it would be constitutional, like Cadmus casting a stone among the Spartoi.

to me, a layup sensible AI regulation is "do not allow the AI agent to make phone calls for any reason"

Had the insane idea while dreaming of a social media site where only 1,000 randomly selected users get to post per 24 hour period

If I die and you put boomer facebook AI art like this as my obituary photo I'm justified in haunting you for at least 30 years if not 40.

The aces were doomed as soon as 2/3 of the arena turned up in ballhalla shirts. Ballhalla is portable.
