i got a craving so made myself my decennial rice pudding. doesn't look beautiful but hits that once in a decade im craving rice pudding spot. added some lemon peel and condensed milk and both really add to it.

the peacemaker season 2 intro doesn't quite hit the same way as the first season did, maybe it's just not possible to be as novel again, but i think the music might be even better this time.

Updates on addon API restrictions - allowing for more stuff to basically work outside of instances and combat 👀

Addon communications and chat access
The ability to send addon messages and read chat is currently restricted entirely while inside an instance. This has been relaxed to only apply when any of the following are true:
A mythic keystone run has started and not yet completed.
A PvP match has started and not yet completed.
An instance encounter is in progress.
Cooldown access
Cooldown access is currently always secret. This has been relaxed to only return secrets when any of the following is true:
A mythic keystone run has started and not yet completed.
A PvP match has started and not yet completed.
An instance encounter is in progress.
The player is in combat
Aura access
Aura access is currently secret while in combat. This has been slightly tightened to share the same updated restrictions as cooldowns.
Additionally, aura APIs that return a single aura from a spell ID or name have been restricted and are no longer callable while aura access is secret.
Unit resource access
New UnitHealthPercent, UnitHealthMissing, UnitPowerPercent & UnitPowerMissing APIs have been added (returning secret values).
String formatting
Tainted code will now be allowed to call the following functions with secrets (resulting in secret strings):
string.format
string.concat
string.join
Additionally, the Lua concatenation operator has been relaxed and will allow tainted code to concatenate numbers and strings.

GetRestrictedActionStatus
A new global GetRestrictedActionStatus API has been added to query whether or not a restriction "type" (eg. secret cooldowns) is actively being enforced.
Tooltips
Resolved an issue where tooltips could fail to display if the previously shown tooltip was set up by tainted code.
Coming soon (Alpha 4 and beyond)
--------------------------------
Secret structured tables
APIs that return structured tables as secrets will no longer make the entire table secret - just the values inside.
This doesn't apply to events or APIs that return vectors of data (specific cases where this is problematic are being evaluated).
String formatting
Various numeric formatting APIs - including AbbreviateNumbers - will be made callable with secrets by tainted code (returned strings will inherit secret state)
Unit identity access
Access to creature unit names, GUIDs, and IDs will be made secret while in an instance and no longer be based off combat state.
Unit resource access
APIs will be added to allow addons to adjust the color of unit frame health bars based on health percentage

it's so incredibly irritating the uk online safety act is actively breaking parts of the internet now. this is what websites now look like with #imgur embeds because some the site decided it's easier to geofence the uk than comply. imgur is one of the biggest image hosting sites used the world over

primarily you get to blame someone else rather than yourself if you're unhappy with the result, particularly when you go overboard and cut too much off, plus also small stuff like trusting to an arborists experience etc etc.

I know some people who have remarkable tenacity in their ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory

after you come out of One Battle After Another and think to yourself that the idea of an ‘Christmas adventurers club’ is absurd and cartoonish, read the below and remind yourself that it’s not just likely but almost certain that orgs like that exist and are steering industry and government.

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 1d

Exclusive: Tech billionaire Peter Thiel warned that Swedish activist Greta Thunberg and critics of AI are “legionnaires of the Antichrist” in private lectures that connected government oversight of Silicon Valley to an apocalyptic future.

In leaked recordings of private lectures by tech billionaire Peter Thiel he argued that “the Antichrist” is likely to take the form of a critic of technology.

it’s a tiny single purpose addon that for someone like me who can’t manage their bag and often ends up with a lot of non-grey items in there I can’t just sell to a vendor, I’d be devastated if blizz sunset all the APIs that made this possible.

nemof @nemof.bsky.social · 19h

but it’s also ok that some addons make up shortfalls in blizzards UI. one small addon I’ve been using for 10-15 years is one that lets you CTRL+right click to delete items in your bag. you can even double right click on blue/purples to delete without a confirmation. it’s essential to me.

nemof @nemof.bsky.social · 19h

if blizzard slowly revokes all types of addons from the game so that as conspiracy theorists hypothesise they can e.g. launch on console, that will be such a loss. if people making truly remarkable addons (think plumber, narcisssus, leatrix) then blizzard should integrate the best features.

nemof @nemof.bsky.social · 19h

it’s kinda weird how part of the wow community takes every little complaint about some quality of life fix that requires an addon (like filtering bought ensembles in remix) as a chance to now just shit on blizz. having addons and such deep access to remix (hah) wow is an absolute blessing.

huh i feel like perhaps this should be an easter egg you can unlock in silent hill f, it really is beautiful without the fog, not that the iconic silent hill fog doesn't look great, but you can really appreciate what the devs made here www.youtube.com/watch?v=wabC...

Silent Hill f without fog looks stunning

why would anyone make this film. it's like a shit version of psycho-pass crossed with the new war of the worlds. quite the choice to make it look like chris pratt is wheelchair bound in thumbnail. him and fergusson must be paid so much to suck it up and make trash www.youtube.com/watch?v=DYhB...

it’s probably bad to say this but I’m kinda glad that FBC didn’t find success, selfishly i want remedy to focus on single player experiences.
