My Lemmy is usually more like…

What everyday in my house would be like

I guess you are, in some sense, “running Doom” as well as that AI that was supposedly running it, in that you are imperfectly emulating the experience of having previously seen Doom played.

Also my brain’s mod manager is total shit, long way to go catching up to DoomLauncher.

All these jokes about naming variables and yet no serious suggestions that if you have a turtle2, what you really need is a turtle array. I like to block out all the memory I’ll need for the whole program up front, put it all in one big array, and then I can use clean, easy to remember numbers for all my variables!

I believe you’ll find the documentary film “They Live” educational on the matter of space capitalism.

Super Castlevania 4 is the best of those early ones. Rondo is pretty good also but very hard. People find charms in the first 3 but they’re a bit rough.

If you prefer the Symphony lineage, the gameboy collections are very good. Not every game is brilliant but it’s amazing value.

Programmers after slacking off for two days to improve their factories in Shapez2 because they already automated all their tasks.

If changing requirements mean you need to update the script, then updating the script is part of your job. QED. I don’t see the problem with a little job security.

It’s posts that are a step up from piss-posting, but below regular unmodified posting.

I sort of hoped the beaming part of the gif was looped to never end. Great prank!

You don’t, and cutting down on meat eating by any amount helps. “Meatless Mondays” and other similar memes are good ways to introduce vegetarian possibilities to people raised on meat-mandatory diets.

My ex was very strict vegetarian except for meat they purchased themselves from an ethical butcher they had vetted.

Hah! I just told someone the other day that LLMs trick people into seeing intelligence basically by cold reading! At last, sweet validation!

It’s sad but i stopped writing answers or comments on SO years ago. I used to have all these optimistic ideas about people working together to collectively grow our shared knowledge. I guess Wikipedia and the Internet Archive keep barely hanging in there, but if anything those cases prove my point: without one extremely strong personality to hold the corruption in check, all these collaborative “digital commons” projects are a leadership change away from completely selling out all the work put into them. That can be feeding everything into AI but it’s also monetization schemes and EULA changes to claim ownership of user submitted content and locking the public out of your site without accounts and subscriptions.

And usually the public’s only recourse is to tear it all down and start again, waiting for the next con artist to come along and steal the village’s prosperity.

Catnip lovers will see this and be like, “hell yeah”

There are many answers questions the judges will accept, but only one correct answer question!

(Also happy cake day!)

What is up tac?

I saw one of these shirts in the wild and it bummed me out a little. Seems like a tasteless slogan to get going, and… just oddly pro-authority sounding. I expected Harris to dissapoint me eventually (Obama 2.0) but I thought she’d at least give me until after the election.

It’s a microcosm for science denial or misunderstanding of all kinds. Vegan cats and antivax may not seem related but the underlying misinformation is not dissimilar.

I tried following up on the vegan cat research being posted and it was very difficult to get a solid answer. There are multiple brands of vegan cat food marketed and sold, and it isn’t outrageous to believe that our industrial society could find an ethical way to source the necessary nutrients and enrich the cat food.

But also there’s very few studies that test the claims of the vegan cat food. What few meta-analysis exist, and anecdotes online, would suggest that all those foods lack certain critical nutrients for long-term feline health. But the anecdotes are drowned out by well-intentioned people who want to believe it works, and the studies are small, rare, hard to read, and locked behind paywalls.
