i say nft people instead of nft bros because, tragically, there's actually like two or three women who own NFTs. like, the person who created that stupid fucking ape is a friend of a friend, and that person is a woman.
i know this is tragic

oh geeze i feel for you. i understand every WWDC is a nightmare because apple has a history of pulling the rug out from under you. and unlike my petty concerns, it could mean you have like 2 days to retool an entire app?

Steam has a refund period of 2 hours of playtime. I bet you'll enjoy it within an hour or two!

I cannot recommend their post on Ubershaders enough: https://dolphin-emu.org/blog/2017/07/30/ubershaders/
IMO this is exemplary. It's amazing how well they explain some wild deep arcane technical wizard shit. Also Metroid

Ball-in-a-cup presents an obvious objective with a clear way to obtain it. Crucially, most people can look at it and see what the point is. It has centuries of history and is a craft that someone can replicate it without having to do any research on it. It relies mostly on skill, with most "randomness" being attributed to the inherently chaotic system. It has myriad variations.
I imagine now those myriad, ultra-shitty Game-and-Watch esque games. You know the ones, which can be replicated on the cheapest LCD display the world has to offer.
But which game meets all these factors, while also being so ubiquitous and important? Which videogame has been used as a courtship device, a gambling device, a competitive device, while also being an absolutely leisurely and mindnumbing activity?
Which game deserves the title of Contendor to Ball in a Cup?
It has to be Tetris.

all jokes aside i like how "leftist" ideas are becoming more mainstream and marketable but i dislike how they're being sold to us
"the boys" and "mr robot" are legitimately some of the best shows and i recommend them, and they have some good messages, anti-capitalist ones at that. but they don't dig very deep and they completely avoid concepts like "unions".
in "the boys", there are in-universe superheroes but also they make superhero movies, and the criticism ends at "haha sometimes superheroes are cringey" and not "hey, these super-expensive films couldn't exist in an ethical economic system", because that would implicate "the boys" irl as well.

This absolutely sucks, I hope you have a laundromat nearby. A laundry machine breaking is way more of an inconvenience than it has any right being :(

On a related note, jstpst is one of those sites I can happily say works great without Javascript. It even implements dropdown menus using that cool CSS trick!

Not to sound like a samey freeze-peacher, but I value transparency like this. The best forums have high moderation standards with clear reasoning.
This poster seemed to ride the line of blogspam, genuinityness unclear, but also this is just a silly lil internet forum. Bans are easy and free, and very cool
jst pst remains the best place to pst

I remember it being some jumbled and confusing mess, similar to uMatrix. Too much work for me!
Running JavaScript off by default is hassle enough, I used Brave because it's just one click to turn JS on or off per-domain.

Oh wow this works really well! And it seems Firefox lets us turn off auto-updates now.
This is way way more usable than uMatrix

That's why I started my post with "the most generous interpretation of NFTs".
The stupid apes aren't inherent to NFTs. The centralized platforms thing aren't inherent to NFTs.
