That’s it. Slices are consumed in any order. A sliced meme must obey this rule.

Freshly vomited sour milk gets the “baby smell” point across for me.

With a bull actually, way back when gods were still creative with their curses.

Super Mario is today what Mickey Mouse wishes it still was: a joyful, universally recognizable character deeply entrenched in the childhood of millions.

There is a special place in my heart for the infamously strange Super Mario Bros 2. Many connoisseurs will justly mention that it is merely a reskin of the lesser known Doki Doki Panic. What is often left out is that Doki Doki Panic was created as well by Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto and that it originally contained references to its previous work on Mario, such as the POW blocks. In the long run, I feel that Nintendo of America’s decision to adapt DDP as SMB2 for the occidental plebs boosted the series with several charming monsters, a more interactive world, as well as multiple playable characters. We owe Bobombs, Shyguys and Ninjis to this very title.

An ex-member of the Squirtle Squad surely.

Teaching changing minds, influencing… it needs plenty of repeating and sleeping on things. To be fair, when all else fails applying pressure has its place as well. Nevertheless small victories are still victories.

The ability of Ladybird’s team to face scrutiny of all kinds is important for them to eventually gain traction in the browser market. But I’m still hopeful, and we need more options.

Switch off your air conditioner, we need the power to make pictures of pretty ladies with several fingers on each hand and the wrong number of arms.

This right there makes me angry every time I think about it. My local government keeps promoting energetic sobriety: wash your clothes in the middle of the night, freeze your peasant ass off all winter, etc. My local government also sells power for dirt cheap to fucking global corporations. Furthermore AI is pushing data center power consumption through the roof. To think the techbros are trying to frame AI as the solution for sucking every little drop of inefficiency out of households. Maybe start by producing less green house gas then fucking aviation before pretending you’re not part of the problem.

It sooo looks like this, but the poster is a an actual Beehaw user though, not a bot. I don’t know what to think

Kernel/Syscalls/jail.cpp includes the gender neutral “they” as well. Good on them for merging that PR.

Yeah in retrospect I see what you mean.

I’ve gotten a few of these questions at work. Non tech workers will throw ideas such as “random math drill powered by AI” or even “search powered by AI”. These things are already solved following a traditional approach. In the end they add “powered AI” in the hopes the estimate will be lower I think.

Oh no. I mainly knew Jason Rohrer for his video games. For a few minutes I hoped this was some elaborate prank, but apparently he drank the Kool-Aid. He wrote that Project December’s chatbot was arguably the first machine with a soul. I preferred the playful minimalist existentialism of Passage.

While clothing slides at exhilarating speed over a metal slider, sticky sweaty skin will instantly and firmly grip to it. You do NOT want to initiate thigh skin contact in the middle of a descent.

If you don’t have your data house in order, AI is going to be less valuable than it would be if it was,” he said.

If your data house is in order, why do you need AI assistants to find your neatly organized information for you anyways?

I know Ubisoft has a history of making greedy decisions, but when I see the disgusting backlash they get for being woke I can’t help but get curious about the game. There’s something irresistible about that kind of salt. That’s basically how AC Valhalla got in my backlog.

Open source money? Why not just call it crypto so everyone understands what this is about?

Agreed that it’s an entirely acceptable position to try and avoid being stuck in the crossfire of cyber warfare. Let’s be clear though, cyber warfare is already going on and Russia+China are pulling no punches routinely wiping American and European servers in various ways. Anyone on the front line of cybersecurity sees them knocking ceaselessly.

Whether it is being offered to the end users as free (as in freedom) software or as paid closed source has the usual implications. Ease of use, accessibility measures and support impacts inclusivity. Supported languages (natural and programming) will influence further who uses them or not. What constitutes the user base will determine what’s it’s used for and in turn will apply pressure to the editor to take a certain direction.

Political impact is not always obvious and not every single grain of software will be infused with a powerful one. The point is that our choice is either to ignore it or to acknowledge it. We can’t opt out of the world; blind neutrality is as political as any other position.

I would like to offer as a counterpoint that everything is political. Tech is no exception. Tech is a tool, a tool comes with a specific affordance and an affordance suggests to the wielder a certain worldview. To wilfully ignore the social and political impact of one’s work does not protect it from the world’s turmoil.

I contest the use of derogatory “small dick energy” memes on the grounds of body inclusivity. Small dicks are valid, positive and worthy of appreciation.
