:(

The aforementioned admin ramble: June of last year, I was made Official System Administrator of Just Post, but my admin boolean was set false in the database. I would turn it on occasionally to crouton a spam post here or there. But I had it set false most of the time, because I felt weird having all these admin controls throughout the user interface. It felt like having a nuke button next to my "post" button. But I'm done with feeling weird about that and I am now just keeping the admin bool set to true. In retrospect, that's also the more transparent thing to do, since I think it shows up on my profile. And in practice, there's no real difference anyways

Hey, I know you might not see this, but I really hope you're still around somewhere in the world.

But they have the following excellent games:

• Chrome Dino Game -- Light Version
• Chrome Dino Game -- Night Version
• Color Running Dinosaur
• Running Mario Game Online
• Mario
• Batman vs Joker Game Online
• Batman
• Joker vs city
• Joker
• Chrome Dino Game -- Wednesday Addams Game
• Wednesday
• Chrome Dino Game -- Godzilla Runner Game
• Godzilla
• Squid Game Runner
• Squid Game
• Running Mario Game Online
• Halloween
• Batman vs Joker Game Online
• Santa
• Naruto
• Dino 3D
• Minion
• Warrior

Don't you want to "<redacted>: Bringing Gotham's Infamous Joker to the Classic Dino Game"? It's a reskin of the dino game, but with shitty Joker sprites and all the sound effects are Joker laughing.

It's actually kind of endearing. The pixel art looks handmade, even if the web host didn't make it, and it's all so bad it looks like they really struggled to put this together. The Dino 3D one is the only one that isn't a reskin-- it's a totally different stolen game.

There's an admin page at <redacted>admin/login.aspx

Unfortunately, I also use my GPUs for machine learning (not gen ai! i simply specced too much time into software which only runs on CUDA) and blender (which prefers nvidia). I posted in games but I'm a poser of a poster

Woah.
I can't believe I'm learning something new about Markdown after all these years.

thank u

This is one I'm happy to help with :D

It started way before GPUs were ever made. Reproductions of 'master works' were used by students of art.

Caballero Chubin (yes, that was her name) was one of the first to comodify this, way before the printing press. She would cut the master work into square sections, each to be reproduced independently by students, to then be stitched together and resold as a replication.

Notably, Chubin's Grid it was not a simple grid, but rather, semantic "sections". E.g. She would make sure there was no boundary over Mona Lisa's face, and have the same artist depict the whole section.

Chubin maintained an index of who worked on which section.

Cutting into sections enabled rapid production of a single reproduction, but also allowed reproductions of part of a whole work (say, of only Lubbert Das's gaunt visage) to be made and sold.

This same concept was applied to early computer graphics. Tiling is used by modern renderers, but the Chubris matrix (a portmanteau of Chubin and a developer known only as "Vris") intelligently used larger tiles for less-complicated and less-important scenes.

The "Chubris matrix" is not the grid itself, but rather, an optimal way to define and index sections of the grid. (This was when every byte mattered, remember).

The indexing was used as the inspiration for foveated rendering for VR, but also as the inspiration for PNG's compression algorithm, and more.

TLDR: It defines a non-uniform grid which is very useful for rendering.

I saw an AI generated advertisement for adult diapers and I thought it was created by an enthusiast of the diapers. It seemed oddly endearing, but I didn't understand why he was posting it in the "Aged Urine Therapy" group I'm in.

But it turns out it was created by the person who manufactures them at home and sells them exclusively on Amazon dot com.

This group isn't funny like I thought it would be, it's actually quite sad. The people drinking their urine are people who are far down a path of desperation.

So I also feel like Dr. Manhattan sometimes

The Sonic the Hedgehog who lives in my head said this in Sonic the Hedgehog's voice. I'd like to present that exchange to you:

SONIC: It's Transgender Thursday babyyyyyyy!

TAILS: But I'm not trans, I think-

SONIC: Happy Transgender Thursday!

This might be true if you like pineapple on your pizza

Therapy went from $20 to $100 because of insurance shenanigans. Had to cancel. It wasn't doing anything for me, but I wish I didn't find out by being billed for two sessions at $200 total.

Yes!! I asked this at a company town hall.

"Does it impact us in any way that Doggy has taken over the United States Digital Service?"

I think it shows your name and profile picture, but not your phone number. Importantly, it requires you add someone, or willingly join a group.

I think if they have your phone number in their contacts, Signal will add that to the Signal contact, and so someone can find your phone number by adding every phone number to their contacts. But I'm not certain about that.

Hands too small to hold a phone comfortably

Hands too big to use a pop socket

Hands just right for when I accidentally broke the pop socket, turning the thing into a small knob that makes my phone easier to hold
