If you name yourself or your company after something in The Lord of the Rings you should be thrown in forever jail: - Count Grishnackh: Neo-nazi, murderer - Palantir: Evil surveillance company - Lembas: Evil investment company - Anduril: Evil murder drone company - Sauron: Evil home security company

I can’t stand anybody who wants to tell me consumer-facing LLMs and/or genAI are good. You are trying to convince everyone that it’s actually better to use a knife with no handle. Your hand is bleeding as you tell me handleless knives are inevitable and we need to get used to them or fall behind.

you know, these days, many people time of year. but this season, try when to everything a special time — it just might become which with you

Speedrunning

They will be baked soon alhamdulilah

lol yeah that’s fuckin airtight wrap it up everybody no one’s ever been stupid and evil at the same time

(me, a ridiculous fuckup who is wrong about nearly everything and intensely unlikeable at all times) i think people from a computer forum 20 years ago are after me

Incredible

From the 1966 Sunset Magazine “Sunset Cook Book of Breads”

Charitably, about 20% of this website

The piss tank on the ISS is now 69% full.

Enjoying redacted document pages in your timeline? Why not take control of them in my fun mobile game! mrgan.com/blackbar/

trying to decide if this would be a good or bad idea

I’m geeked up on that pure Na’vi yayo while an eight foot tall goth cat gf cuts me. I’m high off that Pandora Payakan talking directly to the ancestors. We sipping pure Tulkun brain goo. That Mangkwan coochie got me waging war on Eywa. I’ve died. I will die again. This shit ain’t nothing to me man.

no truth and reconciliation, just empire for ever and ever

To me, the best games are the ones that are unforgettably singular; you can see the people who made it in every aspect of the game. You can tell that every bit of design was done with specific intent. In that sense, Strange Scaffold is one of the best developers out there. There's nothing like them

Worth keeping in mind that when we say "Fix your hearts or die," a lot of mother fuckers will happily choose "or die."

this also applies to videogame companies

⚠️ ALERT ALERT ALERT THE MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR HAS ARRIVED ⚠️

Every accusation a confession

As someone who works in games, if I ever say something like this I want someone to take me out back and shoot me in the back of the head.

"My grandson, Battler, you know. He's very ungrateful, very rude. He says magic and witches aren't real, when Beatrice is right there in front of him. Battler sees the greatest miracles of all time and he says they didn't happen. It's very disgraceful."

“Why are you posting at midnight on a Saturday, you should be at the club” Bitch,

Most Americans don’t really think of themselves as human — more like a wretched human-automobile homunculus. It’s disgusting and pathetic

Lmfao every AI defense piece is like "AYY I FUCKIN SUCK BRO HOPEFULLY THIS FUCKIN STEAL YOUR SHIT MACHINE WILL MAKE ME SUCK SLIGHTLY LESS OK"

Sorry y'all, that video of a crow skiing down a roof on a green lid is AI. There's plenty of videos of crows doing similar things, so idk why the OP felt the need to lie about it

global adoption of linux gets pushed back by 6 years every time a Linux Guy starts talking at me like max headroom

Apparently people really dislike this episode so it’s basically the exact same deal as Sweet Vitriol where they try to do character building and everyone is just asking when they’re gonna get to the fireworks factory.

Placeholders are supposed to be crude MSPaint drawings made with 0 effort by a programmer! They're supposed to look like dogshit because then you know to replace them!

It's incredible how the wealthiest people on earth, who we're supposed to believe earned and innovated their way to unimaginable riches, are unfailingly dull as dishwater and functionally illiterate

OK but it's crazy that Entertainment Weekly shrunk Charlie's face for this header photo

"fully authorized to handle CUI" = it can't be used on classified systems, i.e. anything that an actual warfighter would actually be using. A lot of comptroller and logistics squadrons are about to get slopped up, lmao

"Fascists do not only lie tactically, to “con” enemies or the masses. According to Finchelstein, fascists also lie as a matter of epistemological principle, since they view the truth as something created and enforced by violence, not as something to be discovered." - joanbraune.bsky.social

if nothing changes by next summer, this is the last chance for our community to push back. The big ask is not spending $2000 to go to Vegas to play video games once. I'm not expecting much but it at least feels possible because the requirement for protest is simply not doing jack shit

If the average American could read a book, and ever read a book on the history of Korea and the United States' involvement in the history of the nation, I like to think they'd feel such intense shame that their heads would explode Scanners style, if the average American could experience shame

I'm here you fuckaas bitch

if I were the type given to conspiracy I would think that AI is the antichrist and the government is occupied by an apocalyptic death cult. Instead I dedicated myself to the immortal science of dialectical materialism and— oh fuck the government is occupied by an apocalyptic death cult.
