@geomannie@mastodon.scot: I've always hated this trend of turning cars into tablets with wheels.
Replying to
@AlexGallagher@mastodon.scot: Conspiracy theory: These natalists are only looking for more children for the Epstein class to abuse.

@davidgerard@circumstances.run @jplebreton@mastodon.social: Considering what I've seen done with the ZX Spectrum with the AY-3-8910, there isn't much I'd consider impossible on the more versatile SID.
I, controversially, have rather more of an inclination towards "sins of the father" than I probably should. But I don't think it should be controversial to say that if you don't want to be accused of sins of the father, DON'T CONTINUE THE SINS OF YOUR FUCKING FATHER.

@Tofu_Golem@kolektiva.social @sundogplanets@mastodon.social: They're also insanely stupid as far as maintenance goes.

@benroyce@mastodon.social: The question is, though, can Trump convince people into another war on the ground? Because air strikes are one thing, but another war with urban and mountain warfare is a quagmire waiting to happen.
Replying to
@bonsai@hachyderm.io @GrantMeStrength@hachyderm.io: The arrangements of work largely appear to be dictated by morning people and extroverts and unfortunately, I'm neither.

@gimulnautti@mastodon.green @shanselman@hachyderm.io: He also apparently wrote some code for two of the worst Sega CD games.

@davidgerard@circumstances.run: There's also the fact that blockchain kind of needs an initial injection of money to even "work" from the perspective of somebody who has swallowed the ancap side of things, whereas the promptfondlers can be sucked in with free samples.

@St1ka@peoplemaking.games: There's also white and black pudding, along with haggis, which are entirely different things themselves.
Replying to
@baldur@toot.cafe: Is it wrong that I'm reading the linked post as somebody crying that there isn't *more* AI slop out there?
Replying to on circumstances.run
@davidgerard@circumstances.run: Stoat's the one I've heard as the closest to a direct replacement under the criteria you mention, albeit text chat only so far, AFAIK.
Replying to
@SuperSelena64@vmst.io: I've got the SNES and PlayStation mice, but the Mega Drive one may have too limited a set of games for me to specifically pursue it.
Replying to on fandom.ink
@Fragglemuppet@fandom.ink: Depends on whether you consider Dekalog a TV show or art cinema that just happened to be made for TV. If the latter, then Blake's 7.
As for cartoons, the Wallace & Gromit series.

@electron_greg@oldbytes.space: This will be an utter disaster. The programmers in Silicon Valley are bad enough programming for smartphones, let alone vehicles.
Replying to on circumstances.run
@davidgerard@circumstances.run: They call them "cracked" because you'd have to be on cocaine to think it's a good idea.
Replying to
@varx@cybersecurity.theater @bstacey@icosahedron.website @Elizafox@social.treehouse.systems @oantolin@mathstodon.xyz: Bought that one myself recently when I went back for an engineering Master's after a long time out of education.
Replying to
@lowqualityfacts@mstdn.social: Am learning calculus again to use it (engineering postgrad). The world is still cruel and unfair.
Replying to
@mattsheffield@mastodon.social: Anthropic is an international security threat regardless; neither Anthropic nor Polymarket should legally exist.

Replying to
@loke@functional.cafe @davidgerard@circumstances.run @jplebreton@mastodon.social: While it appears to have been limited both historically and in more recent times to title themes for games and pure music demos, with enough CPU power, it seems to be possible to do PWM with the AY, even on the later Spectrums.

@aspensmonster@tenforward.social @zzt@mas.to @arroz@mastodon.social @Orb2069@mastodon.online: I have said even before the slop merchants came up that the quality of software "engineering" is such that if civil engineers were as willfully incompetent, we'd have a lot more Tay Bridge disasters.
@gamingonlinux@mastodon.social: Anthropic is attestably full of cranks.
Replying to
@Npars01@mstdn.social: I think in light of current revelations, it is important to note that Peter Thiel consorted with Jeffrey Epstein.
Replying to
@benroyce@mastodon.social: While I'm not at all sad to see him gone, I don't think that it will ultimately change things for the better in the short- to medium-term, as there will likely be a succession plan in place for another brutal theocrat.
Hot take: The people who support a "996" work schedule or equivalent are telling on themselves about their own incompetence and bad time management.

@jhooper@techhub.social @alessandro@mstdn.ca @elasticsoul@mastodon.social: The A-10 is not fit for purpose and the hype behind it has been driven by a faction of cranks called "Reformers" who want to pull things back to the 1950s. The Super Tucano is a better fit for what the A-10 is actually used for.
