So good to see that, even in 2026, Unix Haters’ Handbook’s part on rm is still valid. See page 59 of the pdf

Character System – Creation (with nonbinary gender option)

How the hell is that supposed to work? Won’t the server register the character as either male or female anyway?

I vaguely recall a lemming posting a highway outdoor advertising “Green coal” or something like that. Guess that’s the green energy the USA govt is investing in (also crypto bros, because they got money to buy entire fucking power plants to run their stupid coins)

Bro it totally can, we just need another billion Nvidia chips running on a megaserver farm, eating up twice the total energetic output of the sun bro. It’s easy bro, don’t be such a downer bro

If only real life AI was anything close to sci-fi AI. We expected cold, calculating computer psychopaths and we got overly enthusiastic yes men that get in a ditz if you ask it about non-existent emojis

The fuck was your title supposed to be, then?

Saw those videos some months ago. I always thought those games were just boring “wait for the right moment to shoot an animal”, then Mandalore showed it was much, much worse than that. Lovely comment on the 2013:

@GrounderPlus
Worked on some of these games. I remember one day we were demoing the current build to a cabela’s rep and things were going great until they saw a message that said “You’ve unlocked new weapons!” The rep was AGHAST. “WE DON’T SELL W E A P O N S, WE SELL FIREARMS” we had to spend the next day reviewing text in the code and sweeping the game for any instance of the word weapon and removing it.

🤔

Moonwalking is only feature complete when accompanied by HE-HEEE or AU!!!

In one such new study, researchers found that men and women infected by the parasite ended up being rated as more attractive and healthier-looking than non-infected individuals.

Aha, see, it’s not that I’m ugly, I’m just not infected by the right parasite!

In addition, women carrying the parasite were found to have lower body mass and lower BMI than non-infected women,

Well, guess we can predict the next weight loss fad.

That said, all of this is speculation at this point,

Nooooooooooo, it’s on the internet now, it must be true!!!

Now with extra radium for extra health!

If your intent is to connect via app, I suppose you’re better off with misskey or one of its forks like iceshrimp. They offer server specific custom reactions and allow crazy code on your posts. I recommend not using them on the web because the pages are HEAVY, like, “did my browser freeze or did it crash?” heavy

Wafrn could also work, it’s more tumblr-like than twitter-like and gets you posts from mastodon/misskey and custom reactions

So, you’re telling me I can copypaste 100% some of the ai slop books on amazon and resell it as mine? Brb, gonna make a shit site an absolute diarrhea

Fucking magnets heatsinks, why won’t they work!?

They’re writing TypeScript that compiles to JavaScript that runs in a V8 engine written in C++ that’s making system calls to an OS kernel that’s scheduling threads across cores they’ve never thought about, hitting RAM through a memory controller with caching layers they couldn’t diagram, all while npm pulls in 400 packages they’ve never read a line of.

Yeah, I noticed something was off around the time every new app was essentially “the fucking website on a self contained chrome browser”, aka electron. Sure, it was sold off as being a “write once, run everywhere”, but a significant number of said programs and games were still either windows or android exclusive because ha ha fuck you (anyone that’s dealt with RPM MV/MZ knows it).

Some layers of abstraction are incredibly welcome - not having to worry about cycles and RAM addressing, having immediate access to graphics without having to reinvent pixel pushing function; but (imo) everything on top of a browser is just an endless series of “why?”

The company’s deploying AI-powered inference to estimate user ages based on behavioral patterns, account history, and other signals already in its systems. Only when that automated prediction fails or flags uncertainty will users face requests for manual verification through ID uploads or facial scanning.

Oh, so it’s even easier to game it and pretend to be “an adult”. Simply avoid any minecraft and roblox communities to be an instant adult.

Discord didn’t specify exactly what percentage constitutes a “vast majority,” nor did it detail which signals feed into its age prediction models. That lack of transparency could become its own issue as regulators increasingly scrutinize how platforms handle youth safety versus privacy rights.

Big brother is watching you masturbate, for your own good, of course.

For the subset of users who do get flagged for manual verification, Discord says it’s partnering with third-party services that specialize in age verification tech. These vendors typically process ID documents or facial scans without permanently storing biometric data, though implementation details remain vague.

It’s not permanent storage if they delete after safely selling to interested buys!

As lawmakers ramp up age verification requirements globally, expect more platforms to walk this tightrope between compliance and community trust.

I wonder if this is what might actually push more people into “host your own shit” that’s easy to shut down and migrate as needed.

Trust the vibe, bro, if it was wrong it wouldn’t vibe like that bro

Implying that’s not their kink in the first place

You mean that Chinpokomon episode was right all long?
