Something I dislike about online discussions of plurality is the shortening of "endogenic" to "endo" because it just makes me think of Endo, the dubiously canon FNaF character.

javascript is such a kind language for making the default sort implementation nearly unusable so programmers have to learn how to write sort on their own

"Classic NES Series Trivia" was a Flash game from Nintendo's site in 2004. The questions were loaded remotely, and could not be archived. Playing the game now results in no questions loading and a purgatory-like experience with blank choices, all of which are declared wrong.

In the original GameCube version of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, the Glitz Pit greeter Toad always bites his tongue after Chapter 3 is over. In the Switch version, this was made into an Easter egg, whereby he always has a small chance of biting his tongue instead.

When I started in security, one of the prevailing attitudes was "The weakest link in the chain will always be the human."

I would like to thank every LLM provider and startup for changing this paradigm by introducing a much weaker link in the chain.

potentially hazardous object

"sapiosexual" is such an instant buzzkill like can you imagine a more immediately visceral way to communicate that a person is so full of themselves that they would come up with an entire theory about how their only possible mates are high IQ

i'll only make an exception for those folks who make it clear they're into people who sound smart but they themselves are dumb

which given the existence of the "yes plz infodump woozyPleading" crowd isn't that small an exception

Nomura no Famicom Trade was a stock trading application for the Japan-only dial-up modem add-on for the Famicom. Through a Nintendo collaboration, the game featured Mario on the information screen, doing a unique little dance.

Thanks to the FEC and OpenSecrets we're able to find who's lobbying and funding the age verification laws.

Interestingly enough it turns out the same entities are the largest funders of the UK Online Safety Act, California's Age-Appropriate Design Code, Digital Age Assurance Act and New York's SAFE for Kids Act. so here it is:

Oak Foundation funds:
- 5Rights Foundation (they run the Kids Code Coalition and are UK based)
- Fairplay
- Common Sense Media

Oak Foundation is funded solely by Alan M. Parker the British billionaire who co-founded Duty Free Shoppers.

Common Sense Media (one of Oak's funded orgs) is also independently funded by:
- Bezos Family Foundation
- Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI)
- Gates Foundation
- Dell Foundation
- Craig Newmark Philanthropies
- Hewlett Foundation
- Tom Steyer / Kat Taylor

Combined, the funding flowing into this advocacy ecosystem exceeds $100M/year.

Now you know.
