Can we make this a class action?

Apparently self-awareness is dead though.

Canada used to be cool.... But then some really bad decisions got made......

My brain played a joke on me in my sleep.

It went "you really need to stop using pacifiers" and video panned across a table with a bunch of people (teenagers and young adults) sucking on pacifiers.

So then I'm looking at a post and it says "thankfully I've gotten myself horse[...] and the post text overflows.

So of course you're going "wtf an I about to see?" But then it shows the video holding some fuzzy pyjamas with pastel colored cartoon horses on them.

So I woke up going "on, that's pretty funny. Well played sleeping brain.

I haven't spent any time looking into it tbh. Threads only federates like 6 users at this point anyway, and it's read-only.

If there's demand for it I'll implement alex's fix at a later date when the patch reaches the regular codebase.

Probably because threads is blocking anything that isn't bland corpochow. They probably took fediblock at face value.

Gimpy from undergrads and Morty...

Would watch, actually...

It blows me away that there aren't more third party voters. Even if it doesn't help anyone win if your candidate gets 5% of the vote that can change the conversation entirely.

Sometimes new terminology is key to finding a thing.

Today's term is one game one rom, or 1G1R.

Anyone with a perfectly legal rom collection knows the problem: there is version one of a rom. There's version two of them. There is the European version, the American version, the Japanese version come of the Korean version, and so on and so forth. Eventually you have 20 copies of the same game, and a game collection that is multiple times bigger than it has to be, and scrolling through all the games you have is really hard.

So there are tools out there that will take your existing perfectly legal ROM collection and select the most preferred version of a game and get rid of the rest.

A while back I made a map of europe, and pointed at all the countries that you could have stopped in before you hit the United Kingdom. Basically it's all of them. So when migrants are landing in England, you have to explain to me why literally no other country in Europe was an acceptable place to stop.

This is just the first approved one, but there's been companies with working flying cars for decades. Problem is you're still going to need stuff like a pilot's license and flight plans and to deal with the whole bureaucracy of flying...

Flying cars are basically possible today, the problem is the logistics of having a bunch of cars flying around in the air. I don't know if you can give someone that level of freedom in a world as highly regulated as ours.

I said this before, and I'll probably end up saying it again at some point: the "killer app" for crispr is the mighty mouse gene. You'll know the treatment is here when the rich all magically becomes ripped. It'll be like when auto tune was released for music.

A lot of people think they couldn't possibly be the evil ones, and many of them showed exactly where they would have been standing in 1937 if they lived in Germany.

I'm laughing because I predicted this just a little while ago -- a good chunk of the fediverse is completely radioactive to the corpos. None of us need to defederate from them because they're never going to federate with us.

If you played doom on a 386 or even a low end 486 it was pretty shite, and duke 3d on a 486 was pretty bad as well. Quake on a 486 with a 487 was really bad, but it wasn't like there was anything good at the time. It wasn't until the Pentium that things started to actually run well.

Merry Christmas everyone on the fediverse.

To all the folks I agreed with and disagreed with, the people who agreed with me and disagreed with me, my fediverse frens made the internet fun this year.

I hope you have a great Christmas and a happy new year irl.

"they're your damn kids. Tell them Santa isn't real if You want. While you're at it though, can you put a little asterisk at the end of 'nobody ever helped me' and mention all the families paying over 50% of their income in taxes to pay for all those social programs you use, not to mention all the trillions and dollars in debt that your kids generations are going to have to pay for that you took out on their behalf."

Oh geez now that you mentioned it I'm believing in the power of Santa!

I'm really curious what power costs in France this year vs. Germany. That matters a lot.

Tbh, you could just do the front part and it'd work just fine. Shoe cleats for winter are often a lot smaller than you'd think.
