irredeemable urban blockhead

"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.

I switched from Alacritty to Kitty for fancy image support, only to use it for about ten seconds because it doesn't support bitmap fonts, only to find out that the author apparently has weird opinions on features, only to find out that the author uses AI to code, only to switch straight back to Alacritty. neofox_flop

If you have an Intel Raptor Lake system and you're in the northern hemisphere, chances are that your machine is crashing more often because of the summer heat. I know because I can literally see which EU countries have been affected by heat waves by looking at the locales of Firefox crash reports coming from Raptor Lake systems.

In Mario Kart Wii, the statues on Daisy Circuit are simple, but achieve detail through textures. A stylistic change in Mario Kart Tour/8 Deluxe eschews the textures and attempts to model the details instead, resulting in a much rougher look despite having more polygons.

irredeemable urban blockhead

anti-conspiracy theory held deeply unseriously:

this age verification shit is actually to create an identifiable group that consists indistinguishably of:

1. actual minors
2. computer savvy adults who know better than to doxx themselves on the fucking internet

making it a honeytrap and a minefield for groomers

Insanely fucked up how Martian Manhunter gets to be this weird space-orc but Miss Martian has to be portrayed as a conventionally attractive redhead, make her look more alien.

Starlight Makko (makko_bnuuy) would never try to replace genuine human ingenuity.

Starlight Makko (makko_bnuuy) is a friend to the artist, and a tool awaiting for the touch of a creative mind bustling with color.

Starlight Makko (makko_bnuuy) also has a cool mascot (makko_bnuuy), and this doesn’t.

Watching the new Semi-Ramblomatic, and like, since when does Yahtzee Croshaw decry ableism and toxic masculinity in gaming? Not saying that's bad but I didn't really expect him of all people to "go woke" as it were.
