Also? Pokemon Sleep had 24 hours of maintenance and came back demanding access to WAY too much data. I've been playing since launch (free-to-play), and Snorlax was my accountabilibuddy for getting to bed at a consistent time. Buddies don't ask for the last 4 of your SSID. Off my phone you go!

I misjudged the weight of a package and now my dominant hand hurts so much, I can't even dick around on my phone while I'm in the brace. So, uh, learn from my mistakes: always give things a small heft, and if you're not sure you can lift it? Ask for help. (Or improvise a way that won't hurt ya)

We have speech buttons for our animal companions, in our home. Our cat, Esker, uses these buttons frequently, and often finds the available words to be lacking. I realized... her daily life is like a game that uses a parser and a tiny selection of words. and I am the developer of that game.

@elfybean.bsky.social

there are already buttons she doesn't use often, and ones she uses a lot, and I have just a couple blank buttons left atm. is this like when you're developing a game with limited resources and trying to figure out what players will want/need/use the most?

I'm writing a mod in C# and it's reporting a warning on line 3 of a file but the warning is blank for some reason so the "problems" overview just looks like this

My kid has started a Letterboxd list called Killer Sweaters for films where the killer wears a great sweater and they've asked me to throw it out to Bluesky for more because "that's the kind of thing those weirdos like to do"

What a weird world we live in - Ukraine hits a data centre deep in Russia - Irish twitter users see racist posts about IPAS centres in Offaly fall off a cliff

And now the best part: Bot traffic from the #Yandex network has plunged to near zero following the strike on its Vladimir data center. Bot traffic includes automated requests from search crawlers, scrapers and other online services. Twitter must be a ghost town by now.

@theglazeproject.bsky.social

Some artists suggested that we pin a summary of Glaze, Nightshade & other projects here. Instead, I will point them to Melissa Heikkilä's article on our lab and projects. It is the definitive story of who we are, how we got here, and why we do what we do. www.technologyreview.com/2024/11/13/1...

The cats have bullied both me and Fyre into bed rest (also, I never thought a cat would be *telling us to drink water*, but if we cough enough times, Esker will say our name and "water") No streams today, but do go check out our friends: Fractabellum, LittlePumpkinTV, Rainb0wsheep, and BlindiRL

I think we all knew Discord never actually really cared about protecting kids, but just in case you needed a reminder of that, apparently this new update gives you gambling ads sooooo….. Yeah.
