(v0182 (ISTM (ST
I understand doomscrolling now )
(ST luckily everyone I know is safe )))
(v0182 (EXTN (ST #:tone joke
also prismlauncher doesn't support modloader or modloader MP, literally unplayable )))
(v0182 (XSTM (RO #:nostalgia-bait
don't forget to delete META-INF )))
generative AI
(v0182 (XSTM (ST
with LLMs, we have finally invented the opposite of data compression )
(ST it's lossy too )))
(v0182 (XSTM (AC
is browsing [website] out of boredom and sees a pixel 9a
ew, why does it look so much like an iphone )))
techbro nonsense (made up)
(v0182 (XSTM (ID #:nonsense
JumpsCare, the extended warranty service for Jumps, the world's first AI-powered trampoline as a service )))
bad take from me
(v0182 (EXTN (ST
42 is corporate friendly too, in a way, but that's a bit too old I guess )))
bad take from me
(v0182 (SPON (ST
67 is the corporate friendly funny number (as opposed to 69, 420, variants of 8008, or one might even argue 1337) )))
generative AI
(v0182 (TANG (ST
it's funny how generative AI has ruined at least a few Canonically Good writing techniques that make you seem Professional and Educated so now people have to write Worse to get taken seriously )))
generative AI
(v0182 (SPON (ST
it will take many, many years after the generative AI bubble pops for me to take any sentence with the structure "it's not X, it's Y" seriously )))
(v0182 (EXTN (CT
fwiw europa universalis 5 has way more players than EU4 right now )))
(v0182 (SPON (ST
civ 7 still has less in-game players than civ 5 and way less than civ 6 )))
cube project
(v0182 (EXTN (ST
I'm not sure if I want to compromise on the aspect ratio or the display type
compromising on the former means it looks wrong, compromising on the latter means it looks wrong in a less noticeable way
probably the display type, I imagine a small (but not too small) 4:3 LCD display is not impossible to find )))
cube project
(v0182 (SPON (ST
as it turns out, finding a lore accurate 4:3 colour OLED display panel that is the right size (around 10-15cm wide) is like finding a unicorn, because I'm sure pretty much no one has ever made one of those before )))
(v0182 (EXTN (ST
budget is not a huge concern
I could do a mini PC but then I'd need an extra microcontroller to connect the lights/cameras/antenna screens to )))
(v0182 (EXTN (QUERY
speaking of which, how's the SBC market these days
I don't want to use a raspberry pi and while I do kinda want x86, I think ARM will be fine )))
consumerism
(v0182 (CHNG (ST
unfortunately, due to "me not having $1000 to throw down the drain" reasons, I'll probably just make my own cube with a SBC (and not get a graphics card upgrade, because I don't really need one either) )))
food
(v0182 (SPON (ST
I am looking at pasta on my grocery store's online page for no reason and, as someone who has only recently started learning to cook, it is way cheaper than I expected
... now the flavourings will probably still cost a lot, but )))
possibly nsfw (not kink)
(v0182 (SPON (AC
goes to a clothing store
looks at price tags )
(ST #:tone joke ... maybe I should become a nudist )))
