A picture of a person holding a taro root vegetable in their hand.
It is easily 2 hands tall, and shaped like a dirty/hairy penis.

Taro root found at the market.
Bit small. Tragic really.

NFTs, though? NFTs have "utility". LLMs have "utility". What's the utility? Never mind that. Every reasonable person knows that there's real utility in there. Definitely some use-cases. And features. Lots of people use the features. We just need to talk about how to use the utility responsibly.

"utility" is becoming a signal word for me that a technology is a grift.

When people are talking about stuff they use to solve problems, they talk about the problems. Word processors allow you to write documents. Messaging apps let you talk to friends in real time. IDEs let you develop software.

I'm quite enjoying Pluribus, even if the main character is extremely unlikeable. I really hope they subvert expectations with this one, because it has the potential to go really badly.

I took the Flaw on purpose, intending to game the system, so I feel obligated to suffer the consequences of botching it.

Original post on mstdn.ca

I heard about the character flaw Easily Distracted before starting the game, and I thought that sounded perfect for me. I love spreading my skills around, and it's possible to "game the system" by picking a small group of skills and sticking to those...thereby getting the benefit without the […]

A screenshot from the game The Outer Worlds 2
Our protagonist is standing on a road wearing a bizarre leather outfit which resembles a half-finished ghillie suit, and a top-hat with holographic advertisements on it.

Back to #gaming in #TheOuterWorlds2 tonight, and while I agree with many that the outfits tend toward the absurd, surely you would find this to be a trustworthy individual?
I am still struggling with the lack of a photo mode, so getting decent images of my character is tedious.

I always used to think my biggest cardinal sin was probably Lust or Gluttony, maybe even Sloth if you're charitable in interpretation.
Unfortunately, the more I think on it, the more it becomes clear that by far the largest expression of my failings is in the form of Envy.

Reading a long-running guilty pleasure trash novel series and I've been confused by some inconsistencies in the post-retcon books.
Google informs me the fanbase is convinced the original author farmed out the series to a ghost writer for the soft reboot, and I'm starting to think they're right.

Oh, whew, it seems to be a bug. Sometimes the other options don't show up. Just reload and see if that fixes it.

Watched some new trailers for upcoming movies. Super Mario Galaxy looks fine, long as it maintains the quality of the first one. Good Luck, Have Fun, Don't Die looks good as well, and I always love me some Sam Rockwell and Zazie Beets.

Someone back in my hometown sent me a pic of aurora this early morning. It's difficult to believe you can see it that far south. Something definitely has to be up.

Why Elon Musk Needs Dungeons & Dragons to Be Racist The fantastical roots of β€œscientific racism”

Interesting article in The Atlantic about the whole racism in D&D topic, but since it's behind a paywall and I had to de-paywall it to read it, I can't really toot it.
