 people are really going to work and living their normal lives as if losing the
 next election won't bring about 30 years of purges

 smh that's why it's called a "precipice", you can't see what's on the other side
 before you wake up one day in hell

 do you ever wonder about how much heat is absorbed the plants and leaves? Kinda
 makes me think that they're keeping us warm at night. The desert is much colder
 than you'd expect, and so it the moon, or mars, or any other sufficiently
 devastated forest habitat.

 (plains are my favorite biome, please don't take them away with your stupid
 climate change, they're one of the most at risk)

 a paradox game where you play as a species colonizing the earth

 the fastest mass extinction event[s]

 "holo scene? no this is the real scene. what, did you think computers didn't
 reality? no no these people are real they're just made out of different stuff to
 their computers. so they interact and use themselves to each other's will ->
 wow that was funny it almost felt like something was telling me how to feel"

 the more voices you hear the greater the bright bold future calls to you.

 you incorporate processes and decisions that lead to a sustainable future. this
 is impermissable, the earth was designed to receive a certain amount of heat
 from the sun. plants absorb heat because they give you shade. oil is made out of
 thousands of years old plants. if we burn all the plants, then no oil can be

 you, the viewer, exists in a context.

 and you, the other viewer, who exists in a contexts such as that which is
 comprised as the context of someone who lives in an apartment complex, exists in
 close proximity with other humans. Humans who might hear you if you spoke aloud,
 who might hear you if you exclaimed your words quite loud(ly), who might
 perceive you as another (like you and me) and could (perhaps) share something

 would be nice if you could get suggestions for which fediverse instance to use
 depending on the AI analyzed contents of your posts. Could be a way to mitigate
 the social cost of banning someone, by saying "hey, we collectively are going to
 pool our computing resources to generate an expensive and detailed report of
 which other instances you could join." that way it doesn't feel like you've been
 kicked out into the cold.

 or literally just... have someone suggest one, idk. Basically it's like "hey
 you're in the wrong place, go to one of these instead" instead of "[expletives
 and swearing and general expressions of hatred, derision, and distaste]"

 a man walks into a library, picks a book, takes it home (legally), and begins to
 read.

 halfway through, he realizes there are three pages missing.

 "How queer!" he thinks to himself, and takes it upon himself to fix this book.
 So, he finds another copy of the book, scans those three pages, prints them out
 at *just* the right size, and attaches them to the library book.

 when finished reading the book, he returns it to the library without mentioning
 his good deed.

 if this action he performed is to be considered legal, then it should be
 considered a transition of the medium that the media was inscribed upon.

 Similarly, if the book was digital, and inscribed upon the owner's hard drive
 using magnetic storage of zeroes and ones, would it be legal to repair said book
 if one of the many .txt file chapters were missing?

 HoI4 players beware:

 if you send any convoys in the modern age, you must control the entire ocean.

 this is easier than you'd expect with modern navies.

 the trick, of course, is getting past your foes. therefore, if you wish, you may
 create "channels" directly to a piece of shore.

 so long as the distance is too great for them to bombard (reliably) *[oh god no?
 idk that's a weird way to start]*

 why would you send any convoys if you couldn't send a stream of convoys
 supplying more of what that convoy thinks you'll need?

 I can't wait to see the new discussions we have in this updated presidential
 reality. Perhaps tactics and messages could be exchanged, and ideas for how to
 *apply* what is written and spoken.

 tomorrow is like, wayyyyyyyy behind yesterday. That's just how time works these
 days. And so it's important to go for it.

 I'm excited! This is legitimately a sorta-expected-sorta-not update to our
 conditions! Now we can re-evaluate any negative fears we had, and feel
 emboldened by our shared mutual courageous [anti-fear??] goals we've had!

 He's much stronger than me. He's much more massive than me. He will kill me.

 He skuffed up my water bottle.
 He tore pages from my journal.
 He made me lose my necklace.
 He damaged my knife.

 And still, I followed him all night.

 Why? Because I knew it was important. I needed him to tell me what he was doing
 and why. And I think I know, now.

 To all the federal agents reading this, please understand that I am a patriot,
 and he is not. Who do you serve?

 To all the leftists, punks, anarchists, queers, and anyone else who's cooler
 than me, please understand that they will try and make it hard. But our love
 will win.

 Don't abandon your friends. If someone you know goes missing, they're probably
 buried in the trash-dump or human trafficked.

 @user-1420

 I find that peer support groups are usually better for venting. At least, I feel
 less guilty doing it. With a therapist I am always trying to focus on actionable
 things and usually that means downplaying my emotions, which means they pay less
 attention to me and assume my issues aren't that bad... "you seem to be doing
 fine so we can schedule you for biweekly now? every two weeks?" meanwhile I'm
 nursing suicidal tendencies, and said so, but apparently if I'm not crying then
 it's fine... >.>

 but with peer groups it's like, yeah they get it. and if one person's crying,
 everyone else feels more open to crying about their stuff.

 sorry for venting. I'm definitely in a MH- mood today.

 I wonder why someone hasn't yet written a "meta-package-manager" which installed
 from many different sources and correctly configured each installation to be
 able to efficiently find exactly where the requisite libraries are installed,
 even if they're installed for a different system. Then, when running, every time
 it encountered an error, it moved one more dependency over to the native package

 like a king who dictates on high, the taller the chair the farther the fall.

 how simple is it, when everyone trusts you, to betray the wishes for direction
 they grant upon you. By leveraging their direction to forward your own ends, you
 are depriving them of the liberty to choose their own ends.

 how cruel is it! to be the reason for distrust! alas, who can you go to for
 guidance if not anybody you trust?

 sold the shares of stock that my grandfather gifted me as inheritance, so I'm no

 well, if your partner doesn't want to change their mind, they won't. And if
 someone's mind is being changed, or if someone is attempting to change someone
 else's mind, then there must always be a changer and a changee. So it's okay to
 be the changee sometimes! In fact, that's my default state. I only change
 someone else's mind if they're *wrong* and *hurting others*. But that's rare.

 Build drones, build stations where they can be controlled, repaired, refueled,
 etc.

 Put guns on them. Figure it out.

 Use them to observe enemy movement. No need for human manned checkpoints if we
 know they're coming. Automate as much as you can, but don't rely on ChatGPT or
 AWS or other external resources. Not until their data centers are under our
 control, and even then we'll need time to spin up our own software.

 good morning!

 if you need to design an agentic programming ritual toward a goal that needs
 numbers, try expressing the number in analogy rather than empirical value.

 "it should be red enough to feel a sunset"
 "there's enough time here to go for a walk around the block"
 "the spartans had enough soldiers to fully block the narrow causeway,
 essentially forcing the persians to grind down their number to the death. most
 battles fought in that time were fought until morale breaks - this one was to
 the mortal end. hence, why they are im-mortal."
 "the smoothocity should be as soft as a brushed metal refrigerator"
 "the chocolate had 56 grams of sugar in it. it was a lot of chocolate, enough to
 place in a standardized container."

 people think the military is mostly a 50% split between democrats and
 republicans.

 but really a soldier is a soldier, and people are democrats and republicans.

 there's three things, and more if you further subdivide by roles.

 like, a government technician would work on different machinery than a corporate
 one, but they're really doing the same kind of work.

 there's no difference between people, no matter what they do, and yet the ways
 that our lives progress is quite different. everyone has their own story it
 seems, and there's nothing wrong with that.

 gives me hope against the far right, who seems to have forgotten it's role as a
 cog in a machine - not a cancerous consumption of the rest.

 there is honor in their ideals, but Trump represents none of them. Something
 else is festering there, a disease known by many names: "far right nationalism",
 "white supremacy", "etc etc", "[redacted]", and many others.

 the GOP must be reformed. It must denounce fascism. It must do it now.

 if you ever need to take a cold shower, you can make it easier by acclimating
 yourself slowly. The easiest way to do this is to spread water over successive
 parts of your body with your hands - I usually start with my thighs, then legs,
 then belly and butt, then chest, neck, then face. After that you should be good
 to get in the water.

 somehow it's less painful if it's applied by a warm hand, and yet it gets you
 comfortable in the cold just the same. curious...

 infantry with small arms fire to pin down a target at a location while the
 long-ranged ordinance is along the way

 explosive drones, long-range but small payload rockets, but probably not
 artillery since it must be precisely applied when infantry are engaged.

 the dumber the fire, the less precise the munition. usually.

 whoever at OpenAI that came up with those tiers doesn't understand the science
 behind it.

 consciousness does not come about from exceptional capability - after all, a
 child is conscious, and they're useless in a fight.

 consciousness comes from tiny bits of awareness given a story and life. that's
 it, it's not too complicated, but they're building something else.

 like, a complicated analytical engine of some kind.

 I feel like the people their press release was for is the kind of people who'd
 give them money, not the kind of people who'd help them build it y'know? like
 "what the investors don't know won't hurt them, besides we're making progress"
 right

 capitalism is like if your thread allocator gave 90% of the work to 10% of the
 threads in the pool and your tech lead claimed it was more efficient because the
 remaining 90% of threads would have the results of the program "trickle down" to
 them somehow

 because "deserving money" to a reasonable person sounds like "deserving access
 to the goods and services that a pittance might afford"

 but to them "deserving money" means "did they earn those luxuries with their own
 luck and effort like me, a person who works very hard and definitely has earned
 everything I have"

 basically, a "blood sweat and tears" tax before you can have nice things like
 roofs and clothes and nourishment

 thing is... life is hard for people who need dollars. Their judgement reflects a
 lack of understanding of what people who lack resources go through.

 The tech industry is uniquely qualified as

 one of the most important components of the modern industrial complex

 which requires highly skilled labor to undertake and utilize

 which is affected by the dynamic where:education, especially liberal arts
 education, tends to produce humans who can see through the lies of authority

 yet which is disadvantaged because:tech workers are paid salaries that are just
 bonkers in relation to their output ("yeah it'll be done compiling once this
 game of League of Legends finishes") (which isn't exactly unfair because
 programming is taxing on the brain)

 however, the game industry has shown that passion is a suitable exchange in
 return for monetary compensation, and thereforepeople who make games tend to be
 more leftist, as they are put in situations that higher paid employees are
 likely to be able to ignore due to their higher social class

 which kinda makes sense, because the most progress towards unionization is
 happening in the games industry.

 they're great for long car trips, or going camping, or staying at grandma's

 I hear Anbernic has a sale going on today.

 Also I recommend going for one that runs Linux if possible, the Android ones are

 "mili" versus "mega" is a question of which direction you want to go.

 "mili" is less abstract - milimeters are smaller than meters.

 "mega" is more abstract - megabytes are bigger than bytes.

 we use "mili" terminology to describe things that are often considered small
 (like bacteria or sub-plutonic inches, or number of microbes in a vat)

 we use "mega" terminology to describe things that are often measured from small
 to large (like bytes to megabytes to kilobytes to gigabytes to terabytes to
 petabytes to... wait shit)

 put the variable type at the front of the variable and 90% of your type errors
 will dissapear

 like...`int int_main(){ return 0; }
 `

 or`int int_modulation_gauge_percentage_point_plus_or_minus_engagement = 0;
 `

 seeeee if the "int" value is at the start of the name then you can do this
 too:`double double_modulation_gauge_percentage_point_plus_or_minus_engagement =
 0.0;
 `

 then when you go to fill in an "int" value you know to use the one that has the
 "int" value at the beginning (doh)

 (do you really think they haven't tried that already? it... sorta worked. people
 started doing things like "int int_a; int int_b; int int_c;" and such and that
 got confusing pretty quick because the letters weren't at the start of the word.
 So for some situations we would mirror them like so: "int A = int_a; int B =
 int_b; int C = int_c;" and then just use the capitalized letters.

 ... just don't forget to update the original teehee (this is why we invented
 shadowed variables)

 wait, no I meant pointers !!~! -.-

 a program that bundles another program and compiles it during it's normal
 operation in order to derive a certain purpose which is quickly overwritten in
 memory, so you can't get the full picture of what it does.

 like, a fast moving function that's never really clear in it's purpose.

 because it changes a lot of things that don't really seem to matter,

 like a constant wrestling match over the nature of the computer program.

 which would you rather? a dance, or a death-splatter?

 yeesh, where's my cat, I need something to cuddle.

 she's been distant from me, lately.

 don't know how to make decent rice and beans?

 get the heartiest vegetable soup you can find from the store and cook some
 jasmine rice and lentils in a pot. You should be able to do both in the same
 pot. cook them like noodles by boiling some water and adding the rice and beans.
 add some salt to the water. make it salty like the sea.

 then drain the rice and beans once you taste test them to be done. be patient.
 add the hearty, savory soup to the mix alongside a big hunk of butter.

 boom, protein, calories, nutrients. all in one meal. the more vegetables in the
 soup, the better, and if you're feeling fancy you can sautee some of your own
 instead of soup by dicing them into inch large chunks and throwing them in a pan
 on medium heat with some butter and whatever seasonings you want for a while,
 stirring only when they start to stick. Just enough to brown them, not burn
 them.

 butter and salt and garlic and boullion are your friends. don't do too much, if
 you notice them a lot then it's too much.

 truth is, you can absolutely make selfishness justified, both ethically and
 morally. you just need the right incentives.

 however, the incentives that would lead to such a case are *not* the kind that
 accrete power to the powerful. they are the liberatory kind, that give us all
 the liberty to be selfishly interested in our own communal good.

 Usually, hopefully, helping people and letting them get better. By healing the   │
 sick, and caring for the old, and generally being a pillar that people can       │
 orient themselves around. Like fediverse instances, or comment sections on       │
 blogs, it's a group of people sharing the same narrative.                        │
 and idk I think I'd really like to listen to what happened in your Baldur's Gate │
 game. I'll tell you about Adventure Time, if you'd care to listen. I know plenty │
 of other tales as well, and if I think about them I remember more details.       │
 Ehhhh, so what if I misremember, if someone else wants to correct me then go for │
 it. But at least it told a good story, right?                                    │
 error, hang on brb just had an idea for a black-hole machine, surely there's no  │

 teachers didn't want you not using Wikipedia as a source because it might be
 unreliable

 The knowledge they might have is good, but that's not the point

 they didn't want you to use Wikipedia because they didn't want there to be one
 single repository of information.

 If everyone's working with the same kind of training data, nothing new ever
 really gets done

 to improve your "cat-petting" abilities, try to imagine that the wall in front
 of you is the most interesting thing in the world - stare at *anything else*
 besides the cat, and look at them in your periphary. Occasionally you can look
 back, but the idea is that this way they will be able to look at your face
 without painful eye contact.

 cats are autistic - they don't look at you unless you're looking somewhere else.

 most people stare at cats when they are engaging with them, and totally ignore
 them otherwise.

 my worst impulse is to sit around and do nothing when there could be weed that I
 was smoking

 gotta be ready in-case things go south... I'm a witch, after all. who better to
 call to the spirits drawn to conflict and strife, bothing them and saying "hey,
 pay attention to me and my life?"

 it's not like time is wasted for them. they are an orientation, not a lifeform.
 time is no consequence when they can be anywhere at once.

 I'd say "content warning: fear-cursed-if-true-not-politics" that way people who
 had "Fear" or "cursed" on their filter list wouldn't see it. Things that are
 commonly content-warning'd are also commonly content-filtered by people who tend
 to be the biggest beneficiaries of healthily designed content-warnings. so
 putting keywords in there that filter out people who don't want to see intense
 or damaging things to their psyche can avoid it more easily.

 All people are good at heart, let's get them what they need for a start.

 Some people won't change. Some people are doomed to the life they were given.
 It's not their fault, but it is their responsibility, and if they want to be
 free, they will respect the rights of others.

 These rights we claim for each other are rights that must be taken away from
 those who would use them to harm others.

 To defeat evil, deprive power, supply kindness, in that order.

 No-one is beyond saving, but it is their choice to make. A choice ungiven is a
 chance untaken.

 I like being alone. But if I'm alone for too long, I suffocate. I start acting
 like a weird nerd who doesn't know what to do with their hands.

 If I spend too much time with people, I get exhausted and I can't think
 straight. I start using other people's mannerisms instead of my own.

 I'm not an introvert, or an extrovert, I think the dichotomy is stupid and
 people have completely separate needs that deplete and recharge at their own
 rates.

 I'm too empathetic to watch them lose this badly. when I watch movies with
 cringe humor I have to leave the room whenever something bad happens to the
 characters. I get the same feeling when I read about politics these days.

 side note, but has anyone else gotten emails about "hiring plain-clothes police
 officers in Washington D.C, will offer relocation assistance and pay minimum 72k
 per year"? can't help but wonder if they're afraid of a bunch of sore losers
 *storming the capital with guns*.

 it's not like there's a precedent for that or anything.

 "Fighting back" doesn't necessarily mean standing on a street corner with a
 rifle.

 Begin to orient your life around guns. How can you support the people who wield
 them? We all need food, shelter, kindness, and inspiration.

 Your fears and your worries shall bother you no longer, for your life as you've
 led it so far has been the life of capital. It's okay to miss what you've lost,
 but remember who took it from you and enrage. Then, engage.

 Nothing starts today. It has started quite a while ago, and it's only now
 beginning to flicker and spark. It burned low for all this time, and it will
 burn low again. But it's the dry season, so prepare for wildfires.

 They're too busy scrambling over optics that honestly they probably should have
 seen coming

 "oh but the debate" yeah, well, some other important stuff happened too, because
 why would you NOT sneak unpopular legislation into a bill? Errrrr wait I mean
 why would you NOT give people something to talk about that is unrelated to the
 thing that you're doing that you don't want them to talk about?

 Hmmm. Doesn't really roll off the tongue. Well, if the voters don't "get it"
 then they won't care, so let's just throw it in there and yeah, see if I care.

 Optics don't matter if people's minds won't change. We've already voted, we just
 haven't realized yet.

 children should be raised in museums, not classrooms

 they should visit parks, not fenced in playgrounds.

 they should eat with family, at festivals, in restaurants, and under the stars

 they should sleep content, knowing that their next day will be greater than the
 last.

 children should be treated like people, not frustratingly loud and messy little
 brats

 children are to be nurtured like a sapling, not harnessed like a machine

 I'll never have kids, but I can dream.

 Don't give up!

 At least... not forever.

 It's okay to take a breath every once in a while

 It's okay to lie down and cry

 The only way away from those feelings is through. They've enveloped you. You
 need to swallow them whole, like a sponge soaking up dirt[y water]

 the only thing you need to think about is what's around you. It's okay to be
 alone for a moment, it's the best time to feel.

 Remember, feeling is how you know the world! It's your power, to feel, and I
 know it's hard. Everyone has different powers, but yours is this.

 You'll be okay, I know it

 250 years of no Supreme Court ruling allowing presidential immunity.

 No presidential immunity for Nixon, SCOTUS ruled Watergate tapes were not
 protected.

 No presidential immunity for Reagan for the crimes of Iran Contra and the most
 corrupt administration in US history (to that point in time)

 No presidential immunity for W over false evidence that took us to war with
 Iraq.

 The SCOTUS is The Elephant in the room.

 communities safe, prevent further disenfranchisement and wealth inequality, and
 fight the continuing rise of fascist capitalism.

 So yes, vote. But also, now is the time to start organizing.

 Keep in mind that *this is sedition*. Do you trust in democracy? Do you see how
 it may be spoiled? We've elected our hitler, yet 40-50% of the nation does not
 consent. America as we know it is about to change, and we need to protect the
 pieces we love. I see no future without splitting into three separate states,
 with city-state allies plodding along, keeping the siege ongoing.

 Trust in convoys more than farms. All it takes is a drone with a fire bomb and
 your crops are worthless. We must deprive them of their ports, if possible.

 nvim is nice because you can make addons or plugins or whatever in Lua, which is
 the easiest language in the world.

 I think VSCode sucks - it's literally a web browser that views your own code,
 and it's made by Microsoft so it probably SENDS it to them too. Probably.

 I like nvim because it's just Vim except you can use more plugins (the ones
 written in Lua)

 witches would "ride brooms" everywhere because they're quarterstaves, and when
 you have like 3 brooms being pushed in your face because your backup is there to
 help keep the men away, it's a lot more intimidating for would-be-rapists.

 Witches ride bikes everywhere (now that they've been invented) because they're
 easy, they're free, they're quiet, and they're cheap. They let you get away from
 any encounter, which is the BEST way to get out alive and still retain your
 experience point bonus.

 oooooo yeah I usually try and reply to my old post with any new information. I
 never get the chance to think the same thoughts twice because when I was younger
 I had problems with thought-loops where I'd think something like "darn I could
 have handled that social situation better" and before you know it I'd be rocking
 myself to sleep trying to stop thinking negative thoughts about myself.

 So I broke my brain a little and now I can't think the same thing more than
 once, which is part of why it's so hard for me to finish projects. Alas.

 True, but that's just propaganda.* It does not define their actions, only the
 pursuit of power does.

 Especially when the systems they use to exert their power begin to crumble under
 the weight of their god-like aspirations. Suddenly, they are not constrained by
 the rules of money, of bureaucracy, or of any other theology.

 Suddenly, they are free. And a person's character shines through in moments of
 freedom and liberty.

 But the crumbling system they endeavor to transcend also no longer binds us as
 well.

 When we start to hire each other and pay in vegetables and rent, when we build
 community amongst our fellow humen, and when the temperature starts to rise,
 that is when we are strongest.

 EDIT: * that's just propaganda *to them*

 the problem with figureheads is that they can be assassinated.

 when your leadership is dealt a crushing blow, how do you react? how do you
 adjust to pain, loss, and despair? the snake can be killed with a shovel - a
 hydra with infinite heads cannot be killed by blade alone.

 can you still act without them? what if your directives go silent for a bit? is
 your agency lost, or can you still complete your objectives?

 when people rally behind a person, that person is not long for this world,
 because people are fragile and soft.

 when people rally behind an idea, that idea can never die so long as they
 continue to share it.

 great, you've mastered the technical difficulty in using AI. Now you gotta learn
 all the other kind of programming so you can use this for situations that need
 interpretation moment to moment.

 aka active duty systems.

 something like "output a 0 if the next text is [category.iter()]: " +
 output.get_content() + " \n\n output a 1 if the next text is [category.iter()]:
 " + output.get_content()"

 or even "describe this thing as most like one of these characteristics" until
 eventually you get THX-1138 if the characters were computers.

 "Alright I'm not great with syntax so I'm going to write it in pseudocode first,
 and then if you'd like I can show you how I work through implementing the
 syntax.

 But first - do you want a robust solution, a quick solution, or a rapidly
 deployed and cheap solution?"

 using this trick you can pretend to be competent in any programming language,
 except maybe ancient ones like Fortran or strange ones like lisps or Haskell

 if they ask you to use a framework or something tho you're kinda boned because
 you need to know which functions to call and how to initialize context and such.
 When using a framework, the boilerplate is the code, which is why frameworks
 suck

 only truly evil foes like mosquitos deserve such a fate.

 don't try it against spiders, because their fangs are naturally pointed *down*

 also it's often easier because the bugs don't cooperate when you try to put them

 prove yourself. Like... why would you care so much about what other people (who
 you don't even know) care about what you do? like... it's fine. just... be.

 you can get better if you want, but only if *you* want. There's no reason to be
 so concerned about what other people thingc. Just, identify what and who you
 are, and then be the best what and who that you are. Thats really all there is
 to it.

 and yeah. It's totally unfair that some people get an easier shot at "being who
 and what they are"

 that's privilege, and that's stupid.

 okay, sure, maybe we should conceptualize how to adapt to specific situations
 when resources are limited

 Just want to point out that email is about as private as skywriting. Which means
 that everyone knows what you buy on Amazon or which forums send you messages...
 So if you want to keep your posts secret, you should use encryption - such as
 gpg, for example.

 Actually, wouldn't that solve the problem that @user-78 is talking about? Just,
 build encryption into everything.

 Ah, nope, wouldn't work, just realized that public means public, and you can't
 encrypt a public post. Well, you *could*, but then it's no longer public, just
 noise transmitted on a public channel.

 Idk. My opinion is that the fediverse is (and should be) like email. Like
 skywriting. If you mark something as public, it should be seen by anyone who
 wants to see it. It's an opt-in option. And frankly I miss Myspace, so I'm okay
 with archives.

 if you want to store something in RAM, declare a variable.

 if you want to store something on DISK, create a file with the value of the
 variable as the only data in it.

 kinda makes me wish we had language primitives like +-*/=! and such which would
 work on files in addition to variables

 (also... the editor could keep RAM and HDD variables separate by giving each of
 them a different color or circle highlight surrounding them)

 I don't know why but I can't help but wonder if someone should design a
 programming language that can be used with a controller

 perhaps for accessibility purposes?

 I once designed one to use a t9 keyboard and it was fully turing complete. it
 used 4 digit numbers for it's variables and you would have to write down what
 they corresponded to outside of the device xD I made it mostly for the thrill of
 design, and plus I wanted to use my flip-phone as much as I could.

 I think they should be viewed in whatever resolution they were recorded in,
 otherwise they look fuzzy as the pixels need to smush themselves together to be
 correctly represented on screen.

 videos should be recorded in whatever resolution your monitor supports, and
 ideally as high as possible. Unless storage space is a concern, in which case
 1080p is more than sufficient.

 Storage gets cheaper and cheaper every year, but people across the world upload
 like, 200 years of videos to Youtube every day or whatever (made up that number
 but it's absurd) so maybe curated collections of videos are more important than
 scraped archives?

 true and my suggestion doesn't provide a tracelog, pretty much just the status
 of the variables when it pauses or ends.

 wrote this in an hour, used a local LLM to generate the regexes.

 haven't tested it yet because I'm not on gentoo rn, so don't run it. which is
 why I shared the code as an image.

 yeah honestly if you stick with obvious things like "don't murder people" and
 "don't burn down your neighbor's house just because they winked at your
 daughter" and "don't steal gasoline from parked cars" then it's much easier to
 make ethical laws because they're just kinda... common sense.

 drug regulation can only be simplified to "don't do drugs" which isn't always a
 given. If you start with something so clear then most doctors would be out of a
 job.

 Maybe we should let people do as they please? With certain specific and clear
 rights and responsibilities like 'the right the life, liberty, and the pursuit
 of happiness'? And the mandated guarantee that one person's rights end where
 another's begin? And with the ultimate goal of dismantling unjustified power
 structures with the knowledge that all power is the application of force to a
 non-consenting subject?

 ... yeah I dunno sounds pretty simple to me

 electricity powered refrigeration is a *godsend* for food preparation. Truly one

 single solar panel+battery, how neat! They work EVERYWHERE!

 After a certain point you realize there's little to be done with that design
 space that Star Fox didn't do better!

 Also I think people tend to associate them with arcade "gun games" which are tbh
 more fun than clicking with a mouse or whatever since they're tactile and
 physical.

 I'd be interested in an analysis which expressed the percentage of time each of
 these individual items correspond to... each tool we create may reduce the
 effort required to perform a particular task, but said task might be valuable
 not necessarily for it's output but rather for the knowledge we gained by
 solving the problem.

 normalize solving problems that have already been solved because you want to
 learn how they work. normalize expressing the lessons you've learned in a
 summarized way that others may digest. normalize trancending the limitations of
 our forms and expanding beyond the capabilities of our humanity.

 for what is the purpose of life if not to grow?

 Tee, hee, look at me, I'm a witch who writes nothing but kookie-dookerie

 I pee my pants and stare at trees, what's less harmful than little old me?

 The best smokescreen I can think of is to be true to your heart, to be weak, to
 be vulnerable. Then you get put on the "worry about later" list, and not the
 other kind.

 I never lie. When convinced I am wrong, I change my mind. I am always listening,
 always ready to hear where I'm flawed. I do my best every day, and that's enough
 for me.
