Extremely disappointed to report that @rmcretro is a slopsist :( He used Claude to code a scanning app: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J32LFC1NbCA

Access to a huge community of skilled retrocomputer enthusiasts and he has to default to the orphan-crushing machine :|

Let me scream it once again: *It's not what you do with the Ai that's the problem, it's what it costs us all!*

A slopsist is someone who believes that _their_ use is harmless because it's "for a good cause" or whatever guff. Disgusting.

To adapt an oft-popular quote: Using Ai for preservation is like f*cking for virginity.

Does anything legitimate use hostinger?

I think I got it right, Aonuma is also using Ocarina of Time Remake as a way to also train the team and trigger new insights to carry into future development. https://www.nintendo.com/en-gb/News/2026/November/Ask-the-Developer-Vol-24-The-Legend-of-Zelda-Ocarina-of-Time-Chapter-1-3230318.html

Wendy's puts in the very first sentence of their advergame's steam page that it's made by human artists. WENDY'S. Do you have at least as much praxis as a fast food corporation?

To generate that cover Papyrix checks caches on the SD card for the result or any failures, invokes that helper for finding the cover image, creates the cache (via another method I've described), converts the cover image into place, & returns whether it was successful. Caching any errors that occurs in the process.

There's a wrapper around the GfxRenderer downsampling util, with added caching & error-caching.

And there's a method to read a slice of the file.

3/3 Fin!

Are there any quiet zones that are not phone-free zones (or vice versa) on DB trains?

Just learned that Haley Stevens is a graduate of my alma mater. smdh. We are really not sending our best

Video hands on: The new $149 HomePod mini 2 is finally available six years after the last model shopped. While it shows some promise, there's just not enough here yet.

Ah, Mother Nature, how I do love thee.

You are whimsical at times, and capricious at other times, but none so annoying as when you decide the week I have three (3) medical appointments, that you'll tear the heavens asunder and piss down on us with joyous glee.

Thanks, Mum. I appreciate your sense of humour.

Dieser Cartoon stammt aus dem Jahr 2015. Ich war elf Jahre jünger und hatte offenbar auch damals schon nichts Besseres zu tun, als mich mit den Problemen anderer Leute zu beschäftigen.

Hey, @ScottishGreens - you have a number of accounts on mastodon.scot, maybe it's time you paid your share? It's not corporate like Facebook, it's run by volunteers. @HI_Greens @GreenYesScotland

This is such a great tune. I have nothing snarky or silly to add, it's just a damn fine song.
