Careful! They’ll find out if you keep letting them know on the internet!

Love my Funkey. It’s so fun busting this out of my coin pocket to play some Gran Turismo. Hilariously impractical, but fantastically novel.

Just taking the world at face value.
I remember coming into my actualization in my late 20s and making the horrific realization that the vast majority of people never go through that.

I legitimately think I might be part of the cause. I posted this just a day or two before they all flooded in: lemmy.world/post/39082487

- Comment on My Religion 1 week ago:
This right here I think is the ultimate way to practice religion. It’s an excellent framework for helping understand your connection to the universe and how your morality intertwines.
I’ve been reading up on Taoism and one of the things I resonated with is that it accepts the idea that you can worship anything. Even a rock. It’s not about actually believing that the thing holds power, but rather allowing yourself to give in a bit to the universe in an understanding that you are ultimately powerless. You have to give up some of your agency to the idea that there is power beyond your control and understanding and you have to accept that.
If you believe you’re an individual being separate from the world around you, the world will catch up to that idea. Aggressively. But if you accept that the world does not cater to you, and if you surrender some of that responsibility to a higher power, you’re not nearly as blindsided when the world finds you.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds on a ridiculous job performance metric at tech companies and the prominent figure responsible for it 1 week ago:
I’ve never had to code professionally, but even on my personal projects, I don’t want a single extra line in the program that doesn’t need to be there and I should be able to understand the purpose of every line years later.
My eyes glaze over whenever I look at corporate code because there are so many moving parts at that scale all from different qualities of programming.
I don’t know if this is a practical thought, but I really wish we could get away from every project being monstrously sized. I prefer small packaged ideas similar to terminal commands. Just because it has a GUI doesn’t mean you need to design every piece of software as if I’m going to spend a day in it. Just give me small, purpose-built tools I can understand and then stop eternally developing and adding features.
To add to this, it seems that every company now makes one piece of software or 36 different softwares. If they make one piece of software, they endlessly pack it with features people don’t want and if they’re the latter, every piece of software is a hastily-cobbled-together half idea and they just move onto another piece of software. Is there really not a middle ground here?

I would personally skip step 1. They know what they’re doing and are just hoping they don’t get caught.

His entire role in P&R was so much fun, the way he made everyone so uncomfortable.

Guys, I didn’t mean out, but I hope my Future Woman With Corn post wasn’t the thing that set off this whole train.
- Comment on Fuckin' PSYOP 3 weeks ago:
It all circles back to the mistake that was corporate social media and enragement-boosting. They made the system to get people addicted, but without considering, or outright ignoring, the cost.

I usually forget to plug in a cable or two or miss the PSU switch among other silly mistakes. Never killed a machine, though.

It was a miracle on my 3rd or 4th build when I just put everything together AB’s out worked on first try. Didn’t even have to make a blood sacrifice.
- Comment on Do you think there would eventually be technology to delete/replace memories (like the *Men In Black* device). How much do you fear such technology? (like misuse by governments/criminals) 3 weeks ago:
Still Jim Carey’s best role. This movie wrecks me emotionally every time.

There’s probably already a way. It would just take 14 days per CPU cycle to run.

God, I hate autocorrect.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 4 weeks ago:
The new controller and headset have stressed every issue I had with each directly.
It killed me that the original Controller didn’t have a second analog stick. A lot of people tried to claim that the trackpad was a viable replacement, but I just could never get used to it. Loved all the other features.
On top of that, no more light towers! I’ll finally be able to bring it friends’ places to demo! Plus the fact that the headset supports native gaming means no tower needed for some titles. I’d imagine the vast majority of VR-focused titles will run just fine since they almost all target low-spec anyway.
- Comment on Use Case Scenario For Generative Artificial Intelligence 4 weeks ago:
I was referring to where the lettering meets the hat. There should be some tension around the letters where it’s pulled onto the hat itself. Here, it just looks like they’ve been laid on flat.
- Comment on Use Case Scenario For Generative Artificial Intelligence 4 weeks ago:
This might just be classic Photoshop. It’s pretty easy to generate semi-realistic embroidery previews and warp it a bit to match the hat.
Definitely not real though as there’s no bunching of the hat where the stitches meet.

I’m half convinced the blood is fake. There’s none on the monitor and all the shatter points are pretty uniform.

No
- Comment on Why aren't people harassing marketers? 5 weeks ago:
But that’s just it. I just ignore it and move on. I will feel worse emotionally and morally if I yell at someone than if I passively move on with my life. I don’t care of they win according to their rules. I’m winning according to mine.
- Comment on Why aren't people harassing marketers? 5 weeks ago:
- I’m not that type of person. I don’t have it in me to rip someone apart that I don’t know personally.
- They aren’t personally responsible. They’re on the bottom just like us.
- The people who make the money will just continuously recycle employees because they know they can.
