On the bright side: genAI’s sure making developers and other software folks talk about their
🌈 feelings ☔️
and that is, honestly (100%!), a good thing.
It’s OK to feel things.
NOT feeling things is what gets us in massive trouble. Again and again.
So, please feel, and act accordingly.
I’m just happy that trickle-down economics has finally arrived…
This shit's gonna sell better than cocaine.
Didn't expect this #movie to be about a weird millionaire using crappy AI to deceive people.
Haven't slept well in a couple of days, and — to quote Alien Sex Fiend — now I'm feeling zombified.
You've 1.5 days left to snatch PyCharm for less (as cheap is relative to your purse) and support Django in a single atomic transaction!
Apparently the next Japanese #baseball sensation to make it to #MLB will be Seibu Lions pitcher Kaima Taira. I've seen multiple reports of up to 30 MLB scouts attending games where we was starting. Not that it matters, tho. He is a professional athlete and therefore can sign with whichever team he chooses to if he decides to go to "the majors."
Anyway, here you can see him pitch (today's game).
An inside-the-park grand slam. What a concept!
Wait, the Tim Curry everybody was talking about recently was the "what about Dicks?" guy in the movie Kinsey (2004). He was funny as hell.
Wake up, babe, new new words by the Cambridge English Dictionary just dropped.

Wondering how hard can it be putting a prototype together? The absolute bare minimum would be a Windows/Linux/Android app capable of converting video via ffmpeg, and sharing a folder's content with all peers, plus being able to see other peers videos 🤔
I've been thinking — which doesn't happen often — wouldn't a peer-to-peer video sharing platform be entirely possible? No servers involved (unless you decide to rent a seedbox), your machine is the host, viewers seed the videos by simply watching, clients manage video conversion and other related stuff through ffmpeg (subtitles are added to a .mkv container), videos play locally through VLC, other metadata like thumbnails is managed somehow(?). A kind of "PeerTube" if you like.
I've been living mostly by myself since I was 17, but if it was up to my Mom I would still be living at home as she makes macawoni and cheese pwetty please uwu.
Also, yeah, no matter how old, people here would still call their parents "mommy," and "daddy." Yes, I think it's stupid. Yes, I still do it myself, LOL. Although I mostly call them "old lady," and "old man."
I recently saw this Japanese youtuber say that in Japan people over 12 years old rarely hang out with their parents, since these want their kids to be as independent as possible. Meanwhile, 40-year-olds living with their parents in the Dominican Republic be like "Mommy, can you make me macawoni and cheese pwetty please uwu"

Also tried Jikkyō Powerful Pro Yakyū 2010 hoping to find a nice arcade baseball game but what I got instead was the most complex baseball video game in the history of humanity. Lost the first game 0-60, the next one 0-29, and even after hours of playing I couldn't score one mere run. I know that part of it it's me sucking, but c'mon, the game has no right being that complicated.
Just wondering why did they have to choose such a crappy name for the North American release? Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee sounds like shit, Everybody's Golf is the superior name.
Recently finished Ridge Racers for the #PSP; now trying Minna No Golf Portable, AKA Hot Shots Golf: Open Tee, AKA Everybody's Golf Portable. Never really cared for golf but the game is pretty good, its acardy style pairs well with my long sessions of Japanese listening. Of course I'm playing the game in Japanese and still trying to figure out some stuff, text usually flashes very briefly on screen so that's a problem but I'm getting by.
Sony says “that in the “digital age” it is “not plausible” to allege that reasonable consumers believed they were buying ownership of a digital game, rather than a license.”
If I buy travel insurance I pick specific dates to ‘own it’. If I buy a tool, I have it physically at home and it is covered by property law.
Should the words “purchase” and “buy” be changed on digital storefronts? (Or dates of leasing clarified)
