People once again need to internalize that "generative AI" is a small subset of machine learning, that machine learning is a critical tool that you cannot run a site without past a certain volume Bluesky has long since exceeded, and that it is FAR more reliable than user reporting.

Me: What are you doing over there?
Cindy: Winning.

A Settlers board laid out. A single player has placed all of their pieces on the board unchallenged—even using walls as roads. This player has acquired every single development card. They have 22 points in a game where 10 points wins.

A dry erase board says, unnecessarily, "I won!"

True story.

You could not pay me enough to work for this man, and that was before he was a Nazi.

They are bullies, and they will back down.

If they were in the right (or had a warrant), they wouldn't give up and run away.

Whenever I hit CTRL-C, a notification gets saved to a clipboard in my head.

Gavin Jurgens-Fyhrie @gavinetc.bsky.social · 2d

When I'm working fast on multiple things and I've CTRL+C'd something, I often forget what it was BUT also feel it in my head, like a mental weight.

You too?

100%. There is a clipboard in my head.

3948 - I'm thankful my window of tolerance has increased enough that I can enjoy running two Cypher games at once (and even consider running a third).

3947 - I am, once again, thankful for Parsec—this time for work purposes. (My poor laptop has been working way harder than it was meant to, but now it can take a break while some powerhouse across the Pacific does the heavy lifting.) #gratitude

3946 - I'm thankful for cheap, janky games that are still fun to play with friends and family. #gratitude

3944 - I'm thankful for a fun night of Cypher, complete with player planning, simplified starship combat, and improvising an NPC I feel comfortable in.

I know it's hard to make that special thing you're trying to make right now.

But you're still needed. That thing you're creating is gonna turn someone's life around. It's gonna turn YOUR life around.

Building something out of nothing makes the world a better place, and man, do we need it.

Yiiiiiikes. If anyone working for me exhibited even one of these bullet points, I would probably fire them or ask them to seek professional help.
