and if they need sci fi to understand it, just watch tron legacy...

it's really sad most UI toolkits have state embedded in UI rather than make UI from state :(

it turns out you can make other software that works the same way with reactive declarative programming but the toolkits are very much not set up to make it easy to tie that to a file

yea this is why i go for body autonomy, it fixes all these issues entirely by going "you should be able to modify your body however whenever" and social stuff you should be able to modify whenever too :/

yes, a very hella good one

and ares didn't show us much of the dillinger grid... i am so wondering what all the infrastructure was for, why do they need it? why the massive waterways? why were they on water? why is the water so deep? why is there a grid pattern? I MUST KNOW

impostor syndrome of coolness, the cooler you actually are the less you think you're cool and vice versa, explains why tryhards try too hard

they already had a hella GNC character with hormone weirdness and a kid with such ambiguous gender that even their dad forgot, why not a full on trans character?

to play the Xbox version of HALO INFINITE on my $1,000 xbox ally x, i just had verify, repair files, end task for Xbox, uninstall Gaming Services, reupdate the Xbox app in the Microsoft store, update Visual C++ redistributables, reinstall Gaming Services and restart. just like a console on Xmas day!

oh I meant stardust is the grid!! but yeah sure gimme a bit (I gotta go to bed but remind me!)

Nova🐧✨ @technobaboo.bsky.social · 7d

sameee, and now that i realized i'm accidentally building a grid (from tron) with stardust i am thinking up 50000 different things i could possibly do and like oopsies i accidentally recreated the thing from my favorite movies but it's actually really cool so i guess yay

ok i've been looking for like a few minutes and i can't find a name for this thing at all?!?!? they never mention it in the movie and there's no wiki article for it and no online articles about it, it's super cool and there's no name?

idk that it is a light jet tho, like... all vehicles in tron conform to the body a bit but this feels uniquely an extension of the body, like the wing chutes in legacy/uprising
