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.

In terms of ingredients it’s super cheap. I make sourdough, so it’s just the cost of flour and salt. Back of envelope math tells me the electricity is probably less than C$1 even if I preheat a stone for an hour and bake a single loaf.

It takes enough time that it all depends on how you value your time. It’s probably something like 30m of work spread out over a couple of days in a bunch of steps. I find it (mostly) relaxing, and it fits into my routine, so I don’t really worry about the time. If I wanted to save time that badly I could drink instant coffee, get rid of all my houseplants, etc.

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.

The immigration rhetoric is largely kayfabe.

I think it’s the same with the tariffs. In fact, I think it’s the same with everything he promises. He’ll do a token amount of each horrible thing before he gets bored of it or it becomes obviously impractical (see: wall building).

Mostly he’ll just make everything slightly worse and do a lot of corruption for him and his friends. Just a little light kleptocracy.

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.

I’d just count calories and reduce the amount per day until you’re losing weight.

The time of day you eat things shouldn’t really matter. This will also teach you really quickly how to feel full on minimal calories. For me I just try to eat something like raw carrots when I want a snack.

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.

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:

RIP Joe. I love everything from the Mescaleros, but this one always makes me smile. He would fucking hate 2024.

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.

I can’t vouch for it as a music player, but it’s what I use for videos when I can’t get on a bigger screen. It’s nothing like the desktop app, so you might want to give it a try.

Have you checked these all on winehq? It would be nice for them to be reported with logs if they haven’t already.

Garmin Express for example is on there with some discussion here: https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=40213

It might not help in the short term, but even just having logs for more broken programs could be useful for the wine project.

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