Every conservative accusation is a confession.

Funny, he predicts the virtue signaling accusations within the first 45 seconds of the clip. He saw you coming from 7 years ago lol

Spez has been trying to emulate Elon as much as possible, sucking up to him whenever he can. He sees Twitter as the goal for Reddit to reach.

You're going to see the same thing happen on just about every major corporate social platform real soon. Meta's platforms, TikTok, YouTube, Twitch... They're all hurting for cash now that they've mostly dried up all their VC funding from the 2010s and are 100% going to appeal to the Right, who have promised to give businesses more rights and legal protections than ever before.

Huh, I know I used to watch Mr Rogers when I was real little, but I have few memories from that far back. But I also, to this day, get uncomfortable putting my fingers or toes near drains.

I need to hear this song. Maybe it'll trigger some latent memory and unlock some long-forgotten trauma.

Edit: Found it, no memories unlocked. :(

Theres so much prior art, open use, and poor definitions involved the patents would be quickly invalidated.

There might be. We don't know what the patents actually say yet. Without a proper translation of the patents from somebody who understands Japanese legislative texts, all we have to go off of is the machine-translation, which I'm sure is not capturing all the details of the patent.

I wonder if it's a licensing thing. I know a few of these games had heavy use of licensed music, like Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxy. At least, the original versions did, I'm not sure if that's the case for the Steam ports.

Man, I'm an idiot. I dunno why I forgot for a moment that other drains exist lol. That makes sense, thanks!

Yeah, they only have a finite number of servers that they can run VMs on, and are pretty consistently at max capacity. That said, there's also limits on individual stream times, so after a certain amount of time you have to reconnect to continue playing (which, if you're playing in a busy time, means re-queueing). So this at least keeps the line moving, in a way.

I haven't tried it in a year or so, but when I played it last, I didn't have very long lines; a minute at most, even at peak hours, on a free (deprioritized) account. Not the end of the world, but definitely an inconvenience.

they have to reinvest most of them into the company and it's employees.

In theory, this would be true. But in Mozilla's case, "reinvesting into its employees" means giving the CEO a pay raise in the same year they did huge layoffs. They may be not-for-profit on paper, but the actions from their execs are exactly the same as you'd see from any other for-profit corp. Being not-for-profit is just an excuse for shitty business practices and doesn't change anything in any significant way, imo.

 

😇👋A MONTH OF NO GODS🧳⛩️

There is a quaint belief that in the 10th month the gods of Japan congregate for a great gathering to discuss matchmaking at Izumo-taisha (出雲大社) in Shimane Prefecture.

Only hard-of-hearing Ebisu and the Sun Goddess miss this annual pilgrimage.

Further reading:

In the tenth month of the traditional lunar calendar, a festival is held to welcome all the gods to Izumo Grand Shrine. It is believed that the gods convene at Izumo Shrine in October to discuss the coming year's marriages, deaths, and births. For this reason, people around the Izumo area call October kamiarizuki ("the month with gods"), but the rest of Japan calls October Kannazuki ("the month without gods").

@camelliakyoto is a great account to follow on Mastodon for historical Japanese culture.

 

I hope we're in agreement that Heilung falls under the metal genre.

 

Just stop it, It's annoying. Use your hands for something else. I'm not looking for a fight. Just bringing you the truth.

This 16 year old video randomly showed up in my recommendations tonight. This is one of the coolest juggling routines I've ever seen.

 

Roko's basilisk is a thought experiment which states that an otherwise benevolent artificial superintelligence (AI) in the future would be incentivized to create a virtual reality simulation to torture anyone who knew of its potential existence but did not directly contribute to its advancement or development, in order to incentivize said advancement.It originated in a 2010 post at discussion board LessWrong, a technical forum focused on analytical rational enquiry. The thought experiment's name derives from the poster of the article (Roko) and the basilisk, a mythical creature capable of destroying enemies with its stare.

While the theory was initially dismissed as nothing but conjecture or speculation by many LessWrong users, LessWrong co-founder Eliezer Yudkowsky reported users who panicked upon reading the theory, due to its stipulation that knowing about the theory and its basilisk made one vulnerable to the basilisk itself. This led to discussion of the basilisk on the site being banned for five years. However, these reports were later dismissed as being exaggerations or inconsequential, and the theory itself was dismissed as nonsense, including by Yudkowsky himself. Even after the post's discreditation, it is still used as an example of principles such as Bayesian probability and implicit religion. It is also regarded as a simplified, derivative version of Pascal's wager.

Found out about this after stumbling upon this Kyle Hill video on the subject. It reminds me a little bit of "The Game".
