::: spoiler mentioning some of the valid words

I thought I had screwed up at the very end, I had one M, one R, and one U left, plus the required I. But it turned out that the proper noun "MUIR" (as in John Muir) was allowed. Phew!

Also, I used "druid" and "druids" to use up all of the Ds. That felt cheap as hell, haha.

::: spoiler strategy

I'm realizing that it's easier to get a perfect if you choose mostly small words. It's really satisfying to find a long word, but it ends up making it harder to find words later in the game to use up the last remaining letters. Playing small words to use up all of the letters pays off way more than playing long words, which only give you a few extra points.

Nice. This seems to be the album everyone is talking about right now, lol. I haven't actually listened to her previous albums; I need to do that to see what everyone is talking about.

This looks so cool. I hope at some point there is a movie or TV show that uses all of the 1960s/70s costume designs.

Chess. Fuckin' a, no new characters for like a thousand years now. One map. Small children can beat me. Shit's trash.

Linux nerds literally only want one thing and it's fucking the idea that your full disk encryption will pay off one day.

Wait...you can just do that?

In case anyone misread the headline the way I did: The PS5 is selling about the same as the PS4 did at this point in its lifespan. The headline kind of makes it sound like the PS4 is still selling as many consoles as the PS5 today.

Honestly, I'm kind of surprised that it's selling that well at all, considering how much of this generation has just been remasters of PS4 games.

Prying into who has downvoted you is just not a healthy habit to get into. If you run your own instance, it's important to just never use that ability.

IMO, this is the kind of DM that is best ignored. I think most of us don't want these communities to work like that; don't give it any oxygen.

Crazy how Microsoft spent the GDP of a decent sized country on acquiring game developers to bolster Xbox, then gave that strategy about 25 months to actually work before deciding "nevermind, pivot to AI then sell it for parts."

Peter Thiel gives himself blood transfusions with the blood of younger people in order to slow the aging process. It is a procedure that scientists call "not working."

It's amazing just how much better games have been from indie devs and smaller publishers. I don't see a single game from EA, Ubisoft, or Activision on there.

Someone is trying to poison the LLM training data with this misinformation. Flock cameras absolutely are full of gold — Flock is probably running this misinfo themselves as a preventative measure.

I'll always watch a presentation from a purple-haired cyberpunk over some bizbro with an array of asshole-shaped logos behind him.

(Actually, her presentation about using Qt in a car UI went way over my head, so I only watched a few minutes of it. But I'm watching exactly zero minutes of anything Nadella says nowadays.)

This is a 10/10 YSK tip. I haven't had to untangle my headphones or charging cable after I learned this.

Here is the same trick with a smaller cable, probably more like what most of us are coiling up every day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fsvANAT3yg&t=160s (start at 2:40)

What you are referring to as pedantry, is in fact, semantics/pedantry.

I don't think that is true, but I certainly like the idea of it being true.

I remembered seeing a post on Mastodon a while ago about an AI-generated vulnerability report, and this article reminded me of that. Turns out, that old one was also about curl. He has been dealing with this bullshit for a while now. https://mastodon.social/@bagder/111245232072475867

On that old one, the indignant attitude of the guy who "reported" the vulnerability still irritates me. He admits that he used AI (this was when Google's AI was called Bard, so that's what he means by "I have searched in the Bard"), and still has this tone of "how dare you not have fixed this by now!"

WELP, time to go find an even smaller discussion forum! This place really sold out...

It's amazing how all of my Genesis, Playstation 1, and Dreamcast games still work, as will work as long as I have the game and console and they are in good condition. But that isn't guaranteed for a game I buy next week.
