  • The SEO on this name is going to be a major irritation for adoption.

    But that aside, doesn’t it strike you as a concerning that this project is born at least in part from the complaints about a “benevolent dictator”, and the very first time—at least that I’ve seen—someone asks you to put something up for community consensus you say no?

  • If you happen to be on an iPhone, you can add the profanities of your choosing to your dictionary manually, and it will stop autocorrecting away from them.

    Now I never duck when I mean to fuck.

  • I’m currently learning Japanese, and one of my favorite things right now is that the “normal” phone keyboard for Japanese is basically a t9 on steroids. It gives you this grid with huge buttons, you tap a letter or swipe in a cardinal direction to get a variant. E.g., the button will show か (ka) and swiping will get you く、け、こ、き (ku, ke, ko, ki).

    It is super intuitive and with like a few minutes of training I was typing faster on it than my English keyboard (albeit with my very very limited vocabulary). The buttons are so large it’s hard to miss.

  • “Your privately owned vehicle is actually just a timeshare taxi” getting stock prices to go up is proof that our system is irremediably fucked.

  • Never underestimate the catharsis of digging a hole.

    Unless you live on hardpan. Fuck hardpan.

  • Calling that claim “false” is deeply unsatisfying when the actual ratio of empty houses to homeless people is worse than the stated one.

  • Prioritize Primal. It is a truly unique and awesome show.

  • That’s some god damn nostalgia for me right there. I think I may need to get mine out and get infuriated with some Pitfall again.

  • Oh it’s my time to shine! I just installed bazzite onto my ROG Ally yesterday.

    It is pretty fantastic so far. Not perfect but very good.

    Also, it doubles as a pretty OK developer machine because it comes with buildutils, unlike the steam deck. I was able to get my Nix dotfiles set up on it and do a little Rust work to try it out.

  • I had to go through a full interview to get a TSA precheck. Lots of invasive probing questions about who I am and where I work and what my family ties are.

  • Battletoads was so unbelievably rad that anyone who worked on it will stay young forever.

  • Why is the picture for this url showing “tally, a free way to make forms”? Is the website really using opengraph social thumbnails to display ads?

    Edit: Never mind, the linked page has a link to tally in it apparently… which is still not really what the OG links are for, but it’s far less irritating than what I originally thought.

  • I would kill for controller support on this game. I have my steam deck set up with some pretty ok mappings that make the game playable, but compared to like FF14 the experience is just annoying enough to keep me from really digging in. It’s mostly the menu system.

  • What were the challenges they faced? The article outlines that they faced insurmountable issues but didn’t state what those issues were or what they did to try and mitigate them.

  • Totally unrelatedly a Boeing whistleblower “killed himself” not long ago.

  • Lifelong California resident here: tell me more about how big oil is paving the roads and buying libraries for us, because that’s all news to me.

    Maybe I’ll drive on our shitty Central Valley roads that are poorly maintained to one of the few libraries we have left to learn more about it.

  • Nah, I can’t get behind that as an argument.

    The restrooms aren’t an exhibit that you pay for, and it’s common knowledge when you buy a ticket that you won’t be able to use the restroom of the opposite gender as a general rule. Seems a bit hyperbolic.

    My personal take: just disclose this at the time of purchase. A simple asterisk on the general admission info noting that some exhibits will be [insert blocking restriction] would make the problem go away.

  • The case is slightly more complicated than the comments indicate. The lawsuit hinged on the women only space being one exhibit in a general admission event; basically someone is making a stink because they paid full price and then were denied access to one thing in it.

    I’m not commenting at all here about my feelings on the topic, just trying to relay facts.
