Jeg har ikke lyst til å henge ut noen som har/har hatt det vanskelig, men i anledning at NRK har en selvmordskronikk ute: jeg tror det er et problem at den norske offentligheten kun ser på psykisk helse som enten selvmord eller mild angst og depresjon. 1/

you'll never be as happy as the norwegian dude who custom built his own donald duck car, that's just the facts of life

A gull looking coyly at the viewer as it steps forward, showing off a red band reading "T7T," designating the location it was banded. Its other leg sports a smaller metal band with the text illegible.

Sometimes, you'll see herring gulls sporting stylish bands! The metal band contains a unique ID number, while other band's color tells us where the bird was banded.

Det finnes liksom to alternativ her. Enten så er folk som Karianne Tung så ulærte at det aldri har hørt om bl.a Horizon IT-skandalen. Eller så gir de blaffen i at de leker med livene til folk. Fremtidens NAVere ofres på ChatGPT-alteret.

Dutch scandal serves as a warning for Europe over risks of using algorithms The Dutch tax authority ruined thousands of lives after using an algorithm to spot suspected benefits fraud — and critics say there is little stopping it from happening again.

Hver gang en av disse digitaliseringsministrene snakker om at vi skal bruke KI til å effektivisere alt så tenker jeg på alle de som mistet livet fordi Nederland på død og liv skulle bruke læringsalgoritmer til å effektivisere trygd.

Kjekt at ein politikar tør å seie dette, endå kjekkare at det er ein politikar det er vanskeleg for dei å ignorere

No shooting in this game. Your weapons are tools - one of them is the Adjuster. With this device you must fiddle with knobs and match the enemy's 'wavelength' to destabilize them until they burst.

it’s very important spaceship corridors have the right interior design and vibe. nice rug, some plants, vertex lighting.

天外劍聖錄 (1992) looks primitive if you compare it with Ultima VII, which came out in the same year...

But it doesn't look that different from Worlds of Ultima: Martian Dreams, which came out in 1991. And it has a great sense of visual storytelling. Look at this fight against a demon invading the inn:

They've careened past depiction = endorsement and crashed into the reading = endorsement zone

I opened a letterbox review that pointed out some unfortunate transphobic subtext and the comments were full of people mad at him for being transphobic because making a transphobic reading must mean you have transphobic thoughts (???) I opened their profiles and their reviews were all oneliner jokes

Tumblr screenshot are already a strange commodified internet currency where random conversations between regular people are reposted and fandom edited and voice acted, but treating usernames like you're throwing a Nike logo on a bootleg tshirt for brand recognition is actually insane to me.

One thing that always baffles me is that thing where people repost tumblr screenshots but then they edit the profile pics and usernames into *other* tumblr users. You could be getting milked for internet points and you wouldn't even know!

Look you just have to make the cool weird shit that excites you. You must. In this world besieged by bland, scrubbed boring, computer slop, you must. Make the thing you’re embarrassed to make, the thing that feels “too much” because otherwise we get drowned in a sea of cowardly work made by a button

...but the Tie Fighter game casts the player as a member of the Empire forces. As one adult player, a pony-tailed programmer from San Francisco, told me, this recruit-ment into the forces of the Empire can be a source of intense fasci-nation. "I got totally identified with the Empire and its goals of maintaining order. I found myself hating the rebels because they brought disorder. It really freaked me out. I could see right away how I could become a great fascist."

A true classic is coming...

Opplevde mitt første "gen z stare" i dag men tbh så virket det heller som et tilfelle av at en tenåring hadde jobbet hele sommeren og var for sliten til å kjøre hele manuset sitt på slutten av en lang arbeidsdag.

jc denton: tell me more about these "lifehacks".

deus ex npc: you can use a hairclip around long wires, like on headphones, to keep them from getting tangled.

jc: human ingenuity is powerful.

deus ex npc: use a pringles can to hold your pasta.

jc: powerful - and dangerous.
