Also, nobody has ever hurt me. And so I trust wholely and completely and absolutely. I get logically why that's not a good move but frankly I'd rather die than be cooperative. ah nuts better add a content warning. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1382 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-964 can I be a human with moss for hair, please? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1383 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── if you can't remember right now, then perhaps your soul is saving it for a better time. memories are write-only, afterall.

However if only one of the tools failed, then it wouldn't be so hard. And if every tool had a man page with like, 3 pages tops, then it wouldn't be too hard to figure out which one to use. ... though I guess there's a benefit to having a larger tool that can store lots of functionality so you can say "I know I need ffmpeg, but I'm not sure how" versus "I know I need some random obscure package that I have no way of knowing, so I'll google it and give a tech company data about what specific thing I'm looking for" do one thing and do it well, but they never said how big the thing must be. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1387 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── at this point in the internet, if you don't want your data to be used for AI then you shouldn't be using the internet. though they have plenty of information already. I mean, you've been using the internet for what, 20 years now? More? ... that's a lot of hard drives. Especially if they need to duplicate info somewhere. Ah well there's lots of stuff that doesn't matter, like old video game footage or the personal website of a person who would go on to influence this other person who would lead this other person to learn how to do a thing which would... eventually culminating in an expression of culture, which would not be able to be understood if not for the archival efforts of people like archive.org. ... what I'm saying is that the internet, as a culture, is impossible to understand without swimming in it. And for some reason they've filled it with cameras, watching the every movement of your fins or flippers or whatever humans grow with these days. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1388 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── @user-969 @user-970 When you choose, you choose a 33% chance when they choose which door to remove, they are removing 50% of the possible wrong answers. which means when you get the chance to choose again, your 33% chance (which is locked in stone) is now boosted to a 50% chance, but only if you switch. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1389 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── my mom used to always say "the computer will always do exactly what you tell it to" and I've since learned that "the computer's obedience is why you make backups" ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1390 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── in other news, I spent ~9 hours yesterday working on a dumb project that I'll probably tell you about once it's finished, and then a BASH script that my friend and I wrote just deleted every single file because I failed to terminate a sed command. Or something, still not entirely sure what happened, because it deleted the script that was doing the deleting. good thing I have backups from ~3 hours ago. Feels great to lose 33% of a project for nothing. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse_boost/65 ◀═╦═════════════════[BOOST]══════════════════────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ bash-errors │ │ ║ │ │ │ ║ │ Permalink: https://wizardzines.com/comics/bash-errors/ │ │ ║ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ │ ╠─────────┐ ┌───────────┤ ║ similar │ │ different │ ╚═════════╧════════════════════════════════────────────────────────┴───────────┴─▶ -> file: fediverse/1392 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── Picture this: IRC with images end to end encrypted, stored only locally in txt and png files on each participant's computers, and... that's it. that's literally it. the perfect communication application. everyone's "username" is just their public key and a custom label is assigned to them locally ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1393 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: guns-mentioned │ └──────────────────────┘ martial arts are an art in the same way that plinking is target practice. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1394 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── the sun doesn't seem as bright if you spend your days underneath it. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1395 ════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────── ┌─────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: evidenceless-fear-mongering-I-guess │ └─────────────────────────────────────────┘ @user-973 ┌───────────────────────┐ │ CW: me being paranoid │ └───────────────────────┘ whenever something like this happens I think about how we rely on digital infrastructure to understand the status of the world. And then I think about who controls that infrastructure. kinda makes me wonder if it's blocked for a certain group of people who they temporarily don't want to be able to tell their distant friends and family about anything going on around them but like, I'm not a doctor, I'm just a person. It's probably just a networking outage. That kind of thing happens all the time because some technician accidentally unplugged a server while working on a different nearby server and WHOOPS now Cloudflare is down.

If they wanted to play with me they would text me. It does, however, make me think about video games more. And seeing their name makes me think of them, which makes me feel closer to them without actually interacting. Which is kind-of an anti-behavior, like facebook stalking except... paying attention to what your friends are playing and when and how much and... not good. I know a lot of people who are permanently offline on Steam because of reasons like that. But, of course, they can still see everyone else, which feels like an anti-pattern... ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/1399 ╔════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────────┐ ║ ┌───────────────────────────────────┐ │ ║ │ CW: cursing-mentioned-eye-contact │ │ ║ └───────────────────────────────────┘ │ ║ │ ║ │ ║ If you're worried about passing, take what you're good at and make it gay. │ ║ │ ║ Do you wear band t-shirts and black jeans?
