That's how many people (that we know about) that ChatGPT has talked or tried to talk into suicide? At least three by my count? OpenAI is perfectly fine with their platform committing murder as long as they get their sweet investor cash it seems.

Every time I switch-case on enums in any language I end up appreciating Rust's enum handling more.

"Nobody could have predicted Mamdani's surge in popularity with his policies" is a take I read on here once, in defense of why Dems aren't running more progressive ballots. And frankly I'm still baffled about it, and I'm thinking about it again in light of his victory.

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-) he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

Oh yeah, also congrats New York!! Fantastic choice imho

Going through candidates in my area. Looking through one guy's website "humanely clearing homeless camps" yeah absolutely the fuck not. gross.

There's a certain argument that I hate so fuckin much and it's when you're like "hey isn't it weird that this studio seems to be almost exclusively white guys" and you get somebody who's like "um have you considered that those people were just the best fit?"

Damn. Saw somebody who glitched ZA into despawning everything except for a couple of buildings around them Guess that totally debunks the rumor that ZA has the entire map loaded at all times (I already had my doubts, this just confirms my hunch)

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote: "To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace." No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

seems bad! www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Have not stopped thinking about Arin's "Did you point? Did you point?? DID YOU POINT!?" for days now. youtu.be/1iewgL8sGiU?...

This has to be a bit or something. There's no way. I feel like I'm being punked.

wait wtf I installed a font a few days ago and, randomly, BlueSky is now using that font specifically for Japanese characters....?

"Is your remote broken? You can't click agree?" It might be after I hit you with it I think

There are so many people who are so utterly conditioned into signing away their rights that they will actively treat you like a total idiot for not wanting to sign yours away

I have to accept new terms and conditions in order to switch the fucking input on my TV. I want to throw a rock at somebody's head I think

Man I really don't wanna take on extra comms, but I don't think the bank is happy with me right now and I can't do anything about it until the 15th or so (unless I do, like, a payday loan, and I really don't want to take on a payday loan and I REALLY don't want to take on one debt to pay another)

"I never thought the leopards would eat MY face" almost immediately followed up with "I just wish there was a way I could find common ground with the leopards" is fuckin killing me lmao

Happy Halloweeen :)

"meat based LLMs" is a phrase I just had to read. Boy I sure am glad there's no major political groups that have a history of comparing people they don't like to unthinking computer programs. Can you imagine? That could've been real embarrassing.

Yeah it's not a bit. Algorithmically prioritized replies and a dislike button that affects the ranking. Because that's what we really needed. Fuckin' TwitterReddit. bsky.social/about/blog/1...

Wait I thought it was a bit. Why the hell is BlueSky getting dislikes

Solid defense, no notes

- Really not a morning person - Unfortunately do quite enjoy some aspects of it - being up in the early hours when everybody's asleep, it's quiet, I'm kinda just puttering around not doing much in particular aside from drinking my coffee. It's not bad.

Saw a video of some indie dev working on the lock pick mechanic in their game. After successfully picking the lock, the *entire* screen started shaking Indie devs I'm begging you please look at things other than screen shake when you want to juice things up. Like 9/10 times you don't need it 😭

Also as a side note: a lot of people in certain online spaces seem to think that a "legal loophole" is basically "well if it doesn't violate the letter of the law that means it's perfectly legal and you can't get in trouble for doing it!" Which is of course not really how it works at all

It's funny when I get ppl on Reddit being like "this looks cool but I think you should figure out what niche you're trying to fill" about my racing game and it's like I literally cannot find a single game on Steam that conveys the vibe I'm after lmao. If that's not niche idk what is

The main take I have is that if the fucker serves a "third term" that ought to be considered by every reasonable person as an unequivocal coup. The second take I have is I have a pretty good idea of what the "legal path" they keep yapping about is, and it's really stupid.

Microsoft: "Exclusives are outdated" Nintendo: "Check this shit out"

Love how Chrome shows a download as "Done" when it's not actually done and it won't let you click on it. Really good bit of UX actually.

New Yorkers you absolutely need to vote in the upcoming election- confidence for Mamdani may be high, but take nothing for granted. Show up please.

Something I think could have helped make Lumiose feel a lot more alive in ZA would be having denser crowds of *moving* pedestrians. At times the place still feels a little bit empty w/ such few scattered - and often motionless - NPCs.

"Pokemon ZA is way overpriced given the apparent time & budget of the project" trueee!! "Lol stupid Pokemon devs never heard of optimization" shut up shut up shut uP

Welp, and that's our power gone in the middle of cooking dinner. Good.

God I'm still thinking about it bc like "People weren't going to switch just because a new platform was available. We needed to build something dramatically better [than Steam] and we failed" Like.... No shit? How in the absolute hell scorched fuck was "better product" not step 1???

Hi and welcome to my post-mortem on why we did not take over Steam’s marketshare. Slide #1: We did not tell anyone we were trying to do this. Sorry, guys. This one is on me. I honestly just forgot. Like, I had it as a reminder on my phone, but it was there for so long, I just ignored it. Whoops.

Hey guys! First egglocke on my channel is starting tomorrow! We only need 1 more submission for a viable run!! Please consider! The instructions are in the form and it cost nothing but a minute of your time!! Hatch an egg for charity!!

man business execs will really just go on linkedin and be like "I was the most dogshit ever at managing a company. Here's a list of the ways that I so utterly monumentally fucked it all up and lost a lot of money for a lot of people" and then somehow still coast right into their next job

One of the doodles from the request stream, but with color! Thank you to all of thsoe who donated to charity today!! We've gotten $70/$200 goal!! Hopefully we can make it with the 4 days left in the event!

It's funny when I see those memes that are like, a photo of Gabe Newell with the caption "does nothing. wins anyway" Bc like, yeah, genuinely sometimes the right move when you've got something profitable is to leave it the fuck alone

In a few months some of you will insist that we MUST vote for him if we value democracy and i am telling you now, no. And idc about your post election diatribes because you thought it would be easier to convince millions of people to vote for the anti-trans guy than to FIND A BETTER CANDIDATE.
