interesting thing is seeing the econ youtubers (boyle, eisman, etc) who are quick to reassure their viewers that AI works *great* honest - but even *then* the numbers are hilariously turbo fucked and this is headed for a crash
it's very "blockchain is highly applicable in fields that aren't mine"

@Moot man I wish I knew about this mod when I played this game.

@SRLevine Well, I had a goose-call like sound coming from a palm tree here the other night, and we've determined it is an owl.
@ai6yr I'd say the noise was much closer to the ground than in the tree? But it was also literally 1:50AM so my ability to discern that sort of thing is questionable.

This throwback just popped up on my BkueSky bot, but I would like to note that it's a thing that still annoys me.
I constantly see posts where everyone ends their statement with "to say the least" and, aside from being completely unnecessary, it seems to be coming from people who abbreviate everything else.
Ngl ikr to say the least.
At the very least, abbreviate that nonsense with tstl.
If you feel like you need a player roster, here is a prospective whip count that gets updated every couple days based on new information. Nothing really changed yesterday, but the positions did get firmed up. Most notably Blumenthal is solid Schumer camp and looks like he will be running interference.

Discuter avec des dev qui "font pas de politique" ça donne vraiment l'impression de discuter avec des droitards (car spoiler c'est ce qu'ils sont même sans le savoir), ça m'arrive presque jamais, là je viens de le faire sur une salon de discussion d'un communauté d'un jeu, c'est effrayant comme j'ai eu l'impression d'être de retour en première année d'école d'informatique entouré des petits cons qui hurlent "et bah open-source ça veut juste dire c'est pour tout le monde, faut arrêter de tout politiser" en mode "je suis très zintelligent !"
Je vais pas retourner y causer de si tôt …

fedi!
do you know/recommend some desktop pets that would works on windows (and linux) ?
ideally where I can use my own sprites and can do fun stuff or anything
I will also say that I'm dubious of the 50%+ of people who say they "never" do this. I think it's more about identity ("I'm not a troll") than about behaviour ("I literally have never trolled anyone and never will"). I don't find this use of "never" useful, which is why I don't usually include it in my polls.
@evan there's a significant percentage of people who just don't post/comment at all, assuming the 1% rule still generally holds true

HE.net's looking glass, by its infinite wisdom, has no IPv6 addresses for the router hostnames. Only A records exist. What's more infuriating is that if you manage to extract the IPv6 address of a router, the reverse DNS does contain a pointer to the IPv4-only domain name, so I need reverse reverse DNS (which is NOT forward DNS) to look up IP from PTR, which doesn't exist in this world. Solution: some routers have multiple addresses, so you can extract the "source" field in the command. Others? The best you get is the first hop, which is NOT the same router. The hack? Spin up a raw socket, send a request to LG to ping yourself, and read the ICMP packet. Thanks HE.net for making a reverse traceroute as convoluted as possible! So much for a IPv6-native provider. 
Whew! What a week! @spritely got in its #lispgamejam entry: a p2p party game called PolyDraw! Draw the word you're given but... you can only draw with twenty triangles in one minute! https://davexunit.itch.io/polydraw
The game is REALLY fun, I've played it with several groups now and:
- It's built using #spritely tech! Goblins, Hoot, OCapN!
- It's fully end-to-end encrypted! The only people who know what's being drawn are the players!
- It's REALLY FUN!
Blog post coming soonish but: try it with friends! Let us know what you think!
Was woken up by what sounded like a cat fight outside last night (non-zero chance it was cats mating), and the. it turned into what sounded like some sort of electronic-ish duck call? Whatever was out there kept making a weird noise that was almost, but not quite "creak-quack".
Anyway, I felt you all needed to know what weird semi-urban wildlife non-encounters happen around here (I looked out the window, but the one overlooking where the noises were coming from has too many palm fronds in the way to see anything on the ground).
Sorry, the app encountered an unexpected error
