🫂 sending you positive vibes.

while as an autistic person i don't really like the picky eater analogy, i do think things are definitely a little overproduced now. but it was that way in the 80s too, things go in cycles

the mixing, dt. the mixing

oh for some reason i thought you were in the us or canada. my bad

actually right now is daylight saving standard time is in the winter

a good way to remember is other countries call it summer time

$10

this would rule

oh no ;___;

aside from some stuttering (likely poorly optimized shader caching) the game works fine for me and several people i know and i'm having a blast. i'd say my pc specs are about mid, cpu is on the weak side. a game this big and complicated it's unsurprising that there are issues with some configurations and Gamers are known to be a little obsessive about things.

yeah

this makes it even more cursed lmao

ingenious

i can't stand the siltiness but i think in the long run i'm going to get cloth filters (there's some highly rated ones out there) and a pourover thingy that'll let me make 2-3 cups

i don't know part of me feels like the illustrator legit thought this was hot

despite the way i wrote that, i'm more concerned about paper waste than i am about capacity

yeah that's been my impression with french press as well. guess i'm gonna dive into the moka pot world

awful renderings of female anatomy in a failed attempt to be "hot" is one of my favorite categories of illustration lmao

dang i don't remember

me neither

i’ll add it to my perpetually growing to do list

you ever see a gonk droid walk? that's why we have toes

this is painful because i have such a huge soft spot for ada

hi not too bad

honestly as someone who spent a couple years with IBS-like symptoms i think you could be onto something with this

I see it as a resource allocation problem that is caused by a motive for profit rather than a motive to make things that address needs of the people as a whole. A lot of software intended for really good and helpful purpose just gets completely ignored or is total garbage.

There are probably applications in computing for making our industries and infrastructure more efficient and safer that we can't even dream of. For example, I used to work for a company that built software used to simulate municipal water networks to do things such as track leaks, minimize water waste, and ensure efficient temperature management. The company was about 10 people large but the software serviced hundreds of cities, many in arid or desert regions of the world, where water conservation is paramount.

Unfortunately, the software was extremely buggy, as cities just don't have the money to compete with the amazons and googles of the world. Sometimes I wonder how amazing we could have made those tools if we had 25, or hell, 100 people.

No, I don't think we've taken computers too far. I think we've been coerced to attend to diversions that largely benefit those with access to the levers of power. I think in a liberated society we could take the wealth of talent and science we have and use it to solve actual problems.
