My old principal used to keep chickens, it’s from her we bought ours. Met her again many years later, and while catching up I inquired if she was still keeping chickens. Since the big bird flu thing in the 201Xs (I think) she stopped keeping them, because the law changed how you’re allowed to keep them, and she felt like while it’s obviously good from an epidemiological point of view, it’d reduce their overall quality of life and that just made her really depressed.
I miss having chickens.

I know. It’s how what China and the Soviets had wasn’t communism. A relatively small group of people climb up top and ruin everything, as they always have.

This was my initial reaction too. I am making the assumption that less than ten still means not zero.
I rarely leave reviews so I’m surprised that 50% of all releases even see a single one.

But you know that capitalism is so good because the free market ensures that there’s so much variety and choice in quality and innovation.

Given that his cars break from rain, and his rockets always explode, I wouldn’t put much stock in these, no.

What is even the point of these robots? Like, will he provide the operators as well? Do I have to employ someone to work my robot? Am I supposed to use a robot as a proxy? I don’t get what’s being sold.

It’s not just a writing quirk — it’s a blatant signalling of poor ethics.

I think the blood in the muscle itself is probably included but likely not the blood in the chambers.

He looks like he’s been practising to that Hitler video for a long time. The likeness is impressive in the worst way possible.

Hey there’s normal person baldness, which is sexy. Then there’s evil person baldness. Evil has a tendency to make anyone look bad.

Given that her crime is essentially scamming rich people, I don’t think so. Rich people get special treatment after all.

the United States as a country that won two World Wars
Contributed to winning two world wars.
The U.S. didn’t carry the allies. Soviet and Chinese casualties far outstripped any American ones, and the amount of Indians thrown into the meat grinder on behalf of England during both of the World Wars is barely even mentioned. Then there’s civilian casualties. Was the wartime rationing bad? Sure, but it’s a piss take compared to Churchill’s Famine.

I thought it was a reference to Ama no Iwato. Amaterasu hid away from the world because she was upset at her brother being an arsehole and fucking people over.
It kind of fit.

- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 1 month ago:
I’m stuck on Windows 11 at work. It’s not a bad laptop, but Windows is insanely slow. Opening the commandline isn’t instant. Explorer takes well over a second to open. It’s like treacle.
- Comment on Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark 1 month ago:
I don’t even remember my progression. I do remember what first piqued my interest though. A guy came from BUIT (Barn-och-ungdoms IT enhet), which no longer exists, and he was troubleshooting some IT stuff at my school back in 2003. Being the nosy and tech-interested bratty nerd that I was, I hovered around the guy. He was super nice, and had no problem with my prodding questions about his laptop, which was running Red Hat Linux. He explained in simple terms what exactly that meant, and it stuck with me.
Then, years later when I found out about Ubuntu (at the library I think) and the fact that they sent out LiveCDs I was like “Yes please!” and the rest is history. I didn’t use Linux for many years, between having hardware that didn’t play nice with it, and just not feeling like it. Then the other year I went back to Linux and been using it since.
Every so often I boot into Windows to do some texture work in Substance Painter, but I don’t think that’s going to last. I’m very keen on trying Armor Paint, and if I like the workflow there I might as well wipe Windows entirely.
Now, if only I could run Linux on my work PC.

I wrote a comment along these lines, he brought up “agents” in that SciShow episode without directly saying the word, and modern agents are really just a bunch of scripts tied together with an LLM. It’s not that complicated, and they absolutely suck at performing tasks that aren’t narrowly defined. Like you can’t throw it at some issues on GitHub and expect it to actually come up with solutions. People have tried that and the success rates are absurdly low.
SciShow can be incredibly sloppy at times. They had this episode about knitting a while back and lots of knitters basically fired back with “…did you guys try to talk to knitters about this?”
Hank Green seems really affable, it’s hard not to like him (knowing very little about him) but SciShow really needs more rigorous fact checking.
