it is Soooooooo nice using the visor outside. sooo much various noise just filtered out. smells? fucking gone. the cleaning stuff that they use at the subway stations that smells horrible? unnoticeable. food nearby? nothing. lights too bright? tint's got one covered. humans trying to read ones face? tint also has ones back. cold skin? which skin lol. audible noise? just slap on noise canceling headphones on top of them, and looks cool together

@rowan oof - that bad?

some PR guy for Doom: The Dark Ages: “and if you’re a long-time fan, then you’ll be proud to see [that] in a lot of ways, the feel of the game is really a return to form […] just like in the classic Doom games”

some live service game: if you grind for 30 hours then you can unlock the fun part of the game!

me: *opening my steam wishlist* wow look at all these games that I could be playing that are fun right away

live service game: *voice fading into the distance* w-wait! if you spend $15 on the gold premium pack then you can skip the grind and go straight to-

me: *already installing something else*

I hate the term “aspiring artist”. if you’re making art then you’re an artist! don’t let capitalism’s definition of “success” define you or your art

(also a Ghibli-style interactive story called Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery is available for free on Epic Games https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/behind-the-frame-the-finest-scenery )

Epic Games: maybe if we periodically offer games for free, it will draw people to our platform and they’ll spend money on us instead of Steam

villain voice in the distance: you fools! you have underestimated my poverty for the last time!

So, uh, the last time I had to call malloc() was a quarter century ago, and I am struggling to do basic tasks without corrupting the heap. I would love to hire one of you stripey-socked C witches for a very small contract to help finish https://github.com/jepsen-io/jepsen/blob/main/jepsen/resources/corrupt-file.c. Goals:

1.) Fix my really obvious mistakes.

2.) Add appropriate calls to `free(ptr)`.

3.) Spend an hour or two talking me through your changes so I can Not Mess This Up So Badly next time. 😁

Interested? Email aphyr@jepsen.io.

Almost all of the portrays of this fall flat in my experience lol

It's okay to protect yourself. Survival itself is an act of resistance.

Every trans person alive four years from today will be a victory for us and a failure for them.

Every queer person alive 4 years from today will be a victory.

Every Black person alive 4 years from today will be a victory.

Every immigrant alive 4 years from today will be a victory.

Every liberal person and spiritual person and freethinking person and socialist person and differently-abled person and *kind* person alive four years from today will be a victory.

It's okay to take care of yourself. Survival itself is an act of #resistance.

Was reminded of this image again today:

"I don't wear 🏳️‍🌈 [queer pride] items to tell you who's in my bed. I wear them so the family across the street knows they are safe. So the couple in the restaurant know they aren't alone. So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won't judge. I wear because you make them hide."

Ever since seeing this, I have been wearing progressive pride buttons on each of my jackets and coats (and a cap).

"The Brutalist" has come under fire for the use of AI to "tweak" the Hungarian dialogue of Adrien Brody and Felicity Jones to make it more "authentic," which came to light in an interview with editor Dávid Jancsó for video tech publication Red Shark News. Some people online have said that this should disqualify the Oscars contender from awards consideration. “Adrien and Felicity’s performances are completely their own,” director Brady Corbet told @THR in a statement. "They worked for months with dialect coach Tanera Marshall to perfect their accents. Innovative Respeecher technology was used in Hungarian language dialogue editing only, specifically to refine certain vowels and letters for accuracy." Here's more. What do you think?
