Back when I was in high school, we had a shared pool of laptops stored in the library, and our teachers would reserve the library space for days when we were supposed to be working on laptops. My district had a bunch of Dells with the nipple mouse. To this day I still think it’s probably the most convenient and precise input device I’ve ever used.

There are sitting politicians today, probably including Harris and absolutely including Biden, who campaigned to ban video games…

Doubtful that Harris would have ever said anything about banning video games, but happy to be proven wrong here. She’s the same age as Walz and became an elected official an entire decade after the 1993-94 Senate hearings, and also would have been in her late teens/early twenties during the tail end of the arcade era and the rise of home consoles like the NES. I really doubt Harris has a closed minded view on video games “corrupting the youth” or whatever…

There was this great meme going around years ago when the truck was announced that had a crayon drawing of it and “by Elon” written shakily in big letters like a child would use. I’ll see if I can find a link.

Edit: it’s on the shitty website we all left, but: https://old.reddit.com/r/Autos/comments/e0m4sg/the_original_concept_for_cybertruck_was_a_drawing/

Same. It’s not even a sexual thing, I just have a shy bladder and physically cannot make myself go if I can feel someone else’s presence nearby, even if it’s not a stranger.

Same boat here. I bought mine back when Elon was just “juvenile weirdo who makes dick jokes and smoked weed with Joe Rogan”. Best car I’ve ever owned hands down, no intention to buy anything Elon is selling ever again.

Well the only time I ever messed with jiggle physics was to animate a bunch of jello cubes falling from the ceiling, so yeah I’d say that’s pretty different than boobs.

Couldn’t tell you personally. I just do 3D modeling as a hobby but some folks I know from the hobby space do commission work, and apparently jiggle physics on anime boobs is a commonly requested feature.

Some of them have a certain… element that makes them different. That element is usually jiggle physics on the 3D model…

idk what mobile OS you have but on iOS you can actually long press text in an image and it’ll OCR it into an actual text element you can copy/paste, like so:

I would imagine Android would have something similar but idk

I’m probably doing exactly what they want here (e.g. having a conversation about it), but that letter is called “Eth” and was the Old English way of spelling the “th” sound: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eth

A number of linguistic buffs want to bring it back to the modern English alphabet.

I’ve heard this exact same thing from a former colleague that left my company to go work at a place selling “smart” security systems 🤦🏻‍♂️

I don’t know, I’m online quite a bit and wouldn’t say I see hate speech “often” at all. Then again, all of my socials are on the fediverse except for snapchat (yeah I know snap is a shit company - I use it to send pictures of food to a couple close friends), so there’s probably a bit of curation on my part.

What are protons and neutrons made up of? Quarks! You know what else is made up of quarks? My average sized penis.

I have no horse in this race but this shit made me ugly laugh.

I’m ok with all of that. It furthers my goal of hitting the platform back in response to their predatory marketing practices and de facto monopoly. Also, I do support creators outside of youtube. In short, I don’t feel bad about any of this.

It is morally correct to adblock youtube.

E: I can’t hear any of these counterpoints over the sweet ad-free youtube I’m getting for free.

This is basically what I’ve been telling people for years. Prototype in Python to get the concepts down, then when you’re serious about the project, write it in a serious language.

I don’t have anything fancy going on with the tablet. Like it’s not tracking the bike or my workout or anything like that. I just use my watch for fitness tracking and put up either exercise videos or a stream or something to watch on the tablet.

Yep. I’ve been doing this for a while now with a cheap old no-name bike and an ipad. Poor man’s peloton ftw.

IIRC the developer of SponsorBlock was asked about this and seemed very unconcerned.

The latest bad news for the Doc comes a week after an allegation was first made by a former Twitch employee on X. “He got banned because got caught sexting a minor in the then existing Twitch whispers product,” the tweet said.

Yeah so I get banning him but did anyone over at twitch also think to… I don’t know… contact the FBI? Seems like that should have been the first thing to do, no?
