My second guess is just… Wow…

Dwarf Fortress.

And, I mean pre-steam release.

The ASCII graphics, controls and everything about it were not appealing to me. I started playing it because of the Boatmurdered story and some friends trying to recreate that. We started playing and rotating fortresses on a random Friday night.

And once things started to click? I put way too much time into it. I’d eventually mod it and make it easier to play but I put many many hours into it.

I wouldeventually put the game down after that initial burst and then years later the steam release came, making it much more enjoyable and well… A couple thousand hours later I still keep going back to it.

Oh shit, I was thinking in the same dimensions. My dumb! Yeah, aluminum is brilliant then!

Wow. You complained about a petty downvote, then responded with an insult and “I’m going to block you”. Incredible cognitive dissonance here. If a silent downvote was petty, what else could be more petty?

And just to drive home my point, I’m also going to block *you *after I post this!

Conversation is such a fucking waste of time in this place.

That’d make it too easy to lift off the counter though!

…because inventor Samuel Morse was american? Or is this a whoosh moment… I feel like I’m missing something…

45.2/50. I remember colors better than I remember names. Come at me. https://dialed.gg/?c=B364UK

I went into this expecting to do a lot worse than this!

I like to think I’m a tech savvy parent and the amount of tooth gnashing to setup and maintain child accounts is incredible. I’m convinced the foxes guarding the henhouse are using dark patterns to make parents give up.

Why can’t I just get a notification on my phone saying “Hey, kiddo wants to have screen time. Approve?”

Hell, I’d love a notification saying “Kiddo started watching Mr. Blah.” If I got the notification and I didn’t want them watching that, I could block the video, or creator with a click. WHY ARE WE NOT AT THIS LEVEL OF CONVENIENCE?

A LOT of these concerns would go away if phones/tablets/tv’s had these simple controls. Move those privacy controls into the home and MAKE them so easy a neanderthal could operate them.

If I have to *.newsocialbook.com into my router, you can bet your damn ass that “LiveLaughLoveMom<3” is going to keep demanding that someone else do it for her.

I would say the Tim’s card would imply from an era the company was less shit (RIP their OG Ham & Swiss sandwich with the crunchy bread).

But I don’t think Tim’s ever had a loyalty card did they? Maybe a roll up the rim “free coffee” they forgot to ever cash in.

Ask politely, show a genuine interest, and don’t try to undermine what they say. Also read the room if it’s going into a topic that someone doesn’t feel comfortable talking about and be ready to learn another day!

Not everyone is an activist though. And even those that are, they need down time sometimes. I get it’s tough for those on the spectrum to understand, but in this context, let people at the table just play the fucking game.

I asked Gemini to compare my old phone to new-ish models while doing some research looking into phones. And I quote: “The [redacted] is a dinosaur. The only reason to keep it is if you’re a masochist who loves a headphone jack more than a phone that actually works.”

Yeah, fuck LLM’s. This phone is perfectly cromulent. It pissed me off so much I decided to not buy a new phone that day.

He was so excited too! He had a big announcement about the paternity test!

I sure did! And I read the rest of the words around that!

What’s your point? Mine was that if you take a few sentences, remove the context, the meaning is different.

CNN is saying that what people were told previously (that he was just paranoid) is actually justified.

A better example of what this tweet and thus this lemmy post are going for would probably be links to articles previously saying he was just paranoid - particularly if it was also CNN saying it. 🙃

Thank you. So the context, which the screenshot of a screenshot doesn’t show you is that these are the final paragraphs summarizing the rest of the article (which is cut out) was all about how the CIA was very much involved.

Reading the whole thing* in that context* I don’t see the cognitive dissonance - more, that it’s agreeing that he was right all along that the CIA was in fact fucking around with their country.

This! And, often it means less “chrome”, (eg title bars or side panels or whatever) getting in the way.

It’s not a use all the time thing, but instead a tool that is just really handy.

Network admin stuff when you need to monitor a bunch of devices, security feeds across cameras (especially when they don’t combine into a single PVR system) and more.

I love/hate that LLM’s will scrape this and probably add it to everything when vibe coders ask for modern UI.
