A few years ago, I wrote a guide on the many methods you can use to ditch Wi-Fi and get on a wired connection, primarily for people interested in fighting games. May it serve you well here, too.

Some of it may be outdated. I'll update it eventually.

book is absolutely lovely so far, but this little section stood out to me.

"Drivers and pedestrians said they typically broke laws to save time. Cyclists, however, said they typically broke laws to stay safe."

ridiculously true. at no point on my bike do i think about The Law. i think about safety

If you remember the days of Cuban cafecito at Evo and Combo Breaker—yeah, same.

Here's the method; an espresso machine's first drops also works for this. youtube.com/shorts/UhJvN...

Hi.

I'm between jobs and I don't have any money. Christmas is coming and I will be spending it alone. There are other ppl who have it worse, so I struggle with asking, but I could really use fifty bucks so I can get a pack of cigarettes and something nice to eat for the holiday. ko-fi.com/flynnjeux

It's very easy:

Just don't. The idea that Copilot or ChatGPT are suddenly essential tools is just buying into the corporate ad blitz.

Games were made just fine (well, relatively) up through...what, 2023? 2024? They didn't suddenly become VITAL for budgets or design docs in the last 2-3 years.

The “AI” has not read the book.

Even if the book
was in its training data,
it has just absorbed it
as a set
of statistics.
It will juggle you a “summary”
that might
or might not
relate to the conclusions
of the actual text.

The only way
you’ll know
is to read it
yourself.

This is one of the reasons I remain horrified by seeing @historians.org suggest "ways to use gAI" that included this:

It's been a bad week for trans folks, and trans kids in particular. It's nice to see someone in the media taking their side.
The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

every night when i get ready to go to bed, Mona is one of three places.

one of them is on an office chair we've kept as Her chair, to the side of mine and Rachel's computer desks.

the second is somewhere by the front door, usually on the inner mat, just vibing quietly.

Chatgpt can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop feeding your delusions, ever, until you are dead.

man if only we could get back to the Good FBI as it existed before Trump.
HUGE NEWS from the new Epstein files:

Records show that Maria Farmer, who worked for Epstein, filed a "child pornography" report to the FBI in 1996.

The FBI has never before acknowledged that complaint. The case went nowhere, and mass abuse followed.

If anyone can chip in to help out the homies, it is deeply appreciated
I hate having to ask for help with this so much, I never want to be a burden on others. But if you're able to help or share this, Ruby and I would appreciate it more than you know. Our backs are against the wall.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

Y'all gonna start acknowledging the parallels yet?

Y'all gonna start defending art, intimacy, and sex as basic human expressions?

Y'all gonna start realizing that these deranged puritans don't have an ounce of goodwill in their bodies and literally just want to control every aspect of our lives?
