i donโ€™t know if rowlf singing โ€œwhat a wonderful worldโ€ to a sleeping puppy is soothing or lie-on-the-floor-and-sob heartbreaking. maybe itโ€™s both. i think I needed both.

It's like they decided to productize robo-Unidan

Frankly, releasing LLMs which can give what seems like expert advice (on any subject) without having actual subject matter experts rigorously test it should be considered gross negligence.

I know you aren't into it but for others:

The nasal inserts suck, irritated my nostrils. I got one that just rests under the nose, sometimes gets loose but I toss and turn so less frequently now it's not really an issue

FR tho it feels like I got the drug from Limitless but without the downsides

Damn you mean itch didnโ€™t actually just abandon these creators but has been working hard with its limited resources to figure out how to continue supporting them? How surprising

This is me mentally preparing to rip out the Dance config I made from my personal laptop

Already did this at work, mercing a config is a big sunk cost fallacy pain but the divergent keyboards hurts more

I tried to roll with the Dance extension, which adds kakoune/helix style modal editing in vscode, for several months

It's pretty clearly the better way to do modes compared to vim

But I use VS proper too much, and alternating between normie keys and nerd keys demands too much brain juice

The value of money has dropped so much over the years that we see a nearly 50% increase on the cost of groceries, meanwhile most artists are still charging 50 Eur for a headshot like it's 2010, cause we've been made to believe that art isn't a serious career so we don't get to charge a living wage.

i never know what to do with downtime in ttrpgs

and when it's the thing that is tied to character progression, i become super bad at it

"what does your character do for the next couple month?"

"idfk he's just grubby little guy who likes falling down dungeon holes"

This is literally what people do when they're not left scrambling for survival every hour of every day. They build communities, create things, contribute. Wikipedia isn't an anomaly, it is a distillation of human nature itself

Heads up to anyone considering using music on this site:

Prohibited and Restricted Businesses | Stripe This page provides information about the types of businesses, products, and industries that canโ€™t use Stripeโ€™s services.

Payment processors can enable small businesses to exist online, but they also gatekeep whatโ€™s possible, for a variety of reasons. While protest against this is worthwhile, in the short term itโ€™s a good idea to see what exactly is bannedโ€”itโ€™s likely WAY more than you think:

You know what emergent tech of the last decade actually works well, and was adopted by millions?

3D printing. Itโ€™s great! So many applications.

But also nobody is sneering at you for not having or utilizing 3D printing. Nobody is trying to sneak a 3D printer into your garage without your consent

You explicitly said "public figure" though which is relevant for sure, I dont think I disagree with what you wrote, just got other related fears on my mind

Oh no expectation of privacy there, idgaf about that guy's situation

thinking more about surveillance state stuff since facial recognition systems are getting brought up with the discourse

I mean, if you're a person for whom the phrase "do not perceive me" resonates, then is the default state of the world being at an elevated chance of being perceived not an L?

I feel there's a gradient between total privacy and "it's trivial to id where anyone is & what they're doing at all times"

I think it's bogus for you too!

If people wanna download Quest Lord 1 even 10 years from now they should be able to with as little effort from you as possible

Slap "bad dev" labels on apps w/ outdated privacy policies & ofc active devs get prio on searches/features. But delisting is too much imo

Fair, I did come at you.

Here's a better reply: To me, your posts seemed disingenuous & avoided engaging with the point in favor of propping yourself up. That's why it came off as being a PITA to me.

Good on ya, but maybe you shouldn't have to maintain your apps if they run perfectly fine?

I really should know better than to dig deep into a thread and reply to some blowhard. That's xitter behavior, not skeeter behavior
