I was raised believing in The Resistance.

They'd start off small, ill-equipped, lacking a couple of Schematics or McGuffins or The Chosen One. But then, bam! There they were, with the Force, and their cool ship, and their magic powers, and their courage. And The Resistance could truly begin.

Emma: "Absolutely!"

You won't see me in the video but you will hear me at least!

Was honored to be asked to provide some saxophone for this! Thanks @jeffpennyaudio.bsky.social for having me. :)

When I am really into something, I get this overwhelming passion energy that I just need an outlet for. After watching the show and reading some of the light novels, I just had to do an arrangement of some Apothecary Diaries music. I literally just love it so much, I needed to.

Then I accept this comparison wholeheartedly :D

The Senate has just passed the military NDAA containing 2 anti-trans provisions: a surgery ban using federal funds (dependents too), and a sports ban on military academy spaces.

This will be the STARTING point for negotiations with the House, which has even worse provisions.

Only 20 Dems opposed.

I... what???

A screenshot from the music notation app Dorico. The built-in score assistant is turned on, and shows certain issues with the score (perceived by Dorico). The error reads "Vibraphone - Consider adding dynamic on first note/chord of flow", and a bit magenta arrow is pointing at the very visible dynamic - ppp - on the first chord of the piece.

It's why I thought of him! :D

Since I'm Scandinavian and we all know each other personally, I spoke to Mads and he says, and I quote, "If she wants to take off sick, she should take off sick"

Honestly, and since we were talking about Deltarune, you're giving me Swatch vibes. Polite and very nice but also takes no shit

You know what, I see that as a huge compliment! Love the rude rowdy dino girl. Though my actual personality is probably a lot closer to Ralsei honestly 😅

Absolum is a strikingly beautiful Roguelike that brings the "one more run" mentality to beat-em-ups.

Absolum is a beautiful, slow-progressing, arcade-ass Roguelite

The best looking beat-em-up you'll find

The conclusion is good, though, because there ARE decent use cases for AI. It's just not what most people seem to think it is. You can use AI to speed up certain parts of your workflow - but what goes in, and what comes out, MUST BE YOURS. You cannot rely on the slop machine to tell the truth. EVER.

Fredrik Häthén @fredrikhathen.bsky.social · 2d

Together with artists and authors having their work stolen, this is the second major issue with AI - it will lead to the actual death of the internet as it rapidly eats itself, re-stating garbage that it now presents as facts, over and over again. youtu.be/_zfN9wnPvU0?...

Public transport should be free, for everyone, and widely available.

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

There is a special place in hell for the people who send Zelda Williams AI generated videos of her father.

FedEx is worth $58B and yet still have not figured out Scandi characters

Screenshot from a FedEx package tracking page. The text is in Swedish, and the character that should be an o with an umlaut has been replaced by a French I, a Spanish upside-down question mark, and a 1/2 symbol.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

Alright, I am slowly getting faster at the Skong. Can get to the second part in 3 hours 35 minutes. Not fast enough for the speedrun any% trophy, probably, so I'll need to file down a few sharp edges.

Games really are my way of staying sane
