This is only loosely related to your post but I just came across this project:

https://archipelago.gg/

This is a cross-game modification system which randomizes different games, then uses the result to build a single unified multi-player game. Items from one game may be present in another, and you will need your fellow players to find items you need in their games to help you complete your own.

It supports a whole shitload of games: https://archipelago.gg/games

I only just started reading about it. So far it seems like insanity.

Maybe we can still get Harvey Weinstein as head of the Department of Protecting Women from Themselves.

I used to have one, but everything I’d use it for should really be going in the compost, not the sewer.

I’m in Canada, and I sent a cbc.ca news link to someone in instagram chat. It showed a preview of the post with a picture and summary, but when the link was clicked it went to a page that said:

People in Canada can’t view this content.

Content from news publications can’t be viewed in Canada in response to Canadian government legislation.

Well I guess we must have done a really good job of limiting corporate consolidation up to this point.

This seems reasonable. I don’t feel like Canada necessarily in a less precarious place than (e.g.) California.

This seems like a stupid poll, and a stupid spin to put on it. Surely the 26% are just people who would never vote Liberal?

And for the rest of the results, it’s going to be almost entirely down to name recognition, save for Trudeau.

Diplomats the world over are thinking about how cheap it is to bribe trump.

Old Lady should turn that period into a comma next time she’s putting poop in the bin. Or maybe just put white-out on it.

I think graphene does this by default now? Like if you don’t unlock it for 24 hours it’ll reboot.

Well trump does seem very open to manipulation, and he has no morals. If you could convince him he could win this war with weapons, he’d probably be happy.

The man wanted to nuke a hurricane, so we may all die in the process…

This as close to actual England as EPCOT England has ever been.

It’s not as stupid as this blog post makes it sound. This was a hashing function that was intentionally taking the end of the path as the most significant part. This just impacts the order of objects in a pack file, and the size of the compression window needed to compress it.

It’s not actually mistaking one file for another, and their proposed solution is not better in all situations.

Do you like the idea of all our payments for everything going through a private duopoly who takes a cut of every transaction?

We don’t have a digital option that’s open or private.

it even holds up well. the remoteness denotes a lack of tech that isnt too far out of place today.

It holds up so well that I barely even thought about the era until Joel shows up on the street in NYC.

Is crimea recognized broadly by the global nations to be ukrainian territory?

You can make up your own mind, but that’s a strong yes to me:

Yeah, I would love to stop getting potato quality videos on MMS, but not enough to install a proprietary app. I’ll just have to create matrix accounts for more people.

His brain is now empty except for stand-up routines from 90s late night TV.

Chris LaCivita, a top Trump campaign adviser, added in a separate statement that the cemetery official was “a disgrace and does not deserve to represent the hollowed grounds of Arlington National Cemetery.”

How could they resist putting a [sic] in there?

At least you still have ribs. When I do interesting stuff with the oven it usually involves my food becoming charcoal.
