Zig-on-N64 progress continues, now with video output! fsl.yellowapple.us/zig64/info/d...
I usually end up with the left one. Sometimes a variation of the right one where it's rolled instead of folded.

ok bluesky, you’re *unconsciously* fidgeting with a straw wrapper while out for food/drinks with others… which of these 3 configurations is what you would end up with naturally without thinking?

My blood, my soul for an Ace Combat game set in the Strangereal equivalent of post WW2 where props and early jets mingle and where the Leduc is a secret weapon

Well, 5 minutes in and I can already tell this thing is exactly as faithful of a Nintendo 64 recreation as advertised; I did *not* expect putting a Summercart in it to work at all, let alone running a ROM from it, let alone running Rogue Squadron from it with no issues, yet here we are.

Pediatricians say vaccines do not cause autism. A bear-eating heroin addict who fantasizes about sucking his own semen out of his lovers' orifices says they do. For busy parents, it can be hard to know who to trust.

Those are all infinitely better reasons to condemn Amazon than datacenter water consumption.
Do you work for Amazon - what is the deal here? Amazon also contributes majorly to greenhouse gas emissions and industrial pollution with their major shipping industry - they also abuse their employees. Why defend them at all?
That *is* exactly the problem; my point is that this specific issue of nitrate contamination is one of the rare instances where Amazon is far from the primary or significant contributor to that problem.

Fedora remains the only Linux distro I've used that kernel panicked for reasons other than hardware issues (other distros ran fine on the same hardware) or my own stupidity (like killing the init process).

A movie that takes place where you're from.

(Allegedly, based on the phone number for D-Man Realty being 916-555-0179, and also the presence of a Sacramento Kings sticker on a wall during the job interview scene)

Mood? What has mood to do with it? You fight when the necessity arises — no matter the mood! Mood's a thing for cattle or making love or playing the baliset. It's not for fighting, Charlie Brown.
It's disturbing that you were alive for a thousand years and you realize that you're actually going to die, because some self-righteous cop thinks hes gonna save the fuckin' world. Yes, a demon can die, and Hobbes finally knew how to beat me at my own game, Charlie Brown.
Do you think God stays in Heaven, because He too is afraid of what he made here on Earth, Charlie Brown?

Blocking out the sun was humanity's last ditch effort to win its war against AI in The Matrix. Glad we're speedrunning toward that on multiple fronts; yeah, we'll all be stuck in a digital mind-prison, but at least we'll get cool leather trenchcoats and bangin' techno music out of the deal.

I’ve often called this song—“Just Like Heaven”—the finest single of the 80s and meant it. This cover’s arrangement only confirms it for me 💜🔥

Damn, this fucks. Hard.
with holidays at hand, i remind you of perhaps the strangest rendition of peanuts music: 1989's Happy Anniversary, Charlie Brown

a mix of excellent arrangements and baffling weather channel muzak from chick corea, kenny g, b.b. king, dave brubeck, patti austin, etc.

This is apparently a controversial opinion.
Nobody's asking for perfection; simply better than the status quo. We're where we are right now because the ballot options have consistently represented a ratcheting effect toward the right. We need a counterbalance against that.

This is why I use 9front for all mission-critical systems.
I have talked to an IT admin turned security Principal, who had a 0click 0day deployed on their network. I know the case and CVE, it is real.

What saved them was the attacker encountering a configuration they had just NO idea what to do with.

Attackers are not gods, even if they have the commands.
I tell the story often but in the beginnings of my career in IT I was fascinated by stories of 0days by state actors. And I worried about them.

As our entire client base was XP SP2 with zero governance and many machines shared huge groups of local admins.

Perspective later is hell of a thing.

If I had a nickel for every MIT academic I know of with ties to Epstein*, I'd have… at least two nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice, am I right?

(* the other being Marvin Minsky)
"[Epstein] had several ideas about who could appear on it and provide favorable testimonies [...]

'Spoke to Chomsky, he’s all in,' Epstein wrote in a text message to an undisclosed associate."
Epstein turned to academic Chomsky, others to rehab image after Herald investigation
Other potential people Epstein considered included deceased Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson and Norwegian diplomat Terje Rød-Larsen.
