What sites do you visit that you need one?

A good portion of the news sites I read. If I divide the total area that goes for text and ads, it's around 35-65. Then there's taboola ads that show at the bottom, before the related articles. uBlock also stops the majority of stupid "WAIT, SIGN UP FOR OUR NEWSLETTER" modal that shows up as soon as the mouse exits the window

Any shopping sites is chock full of trackers and external ads, too. Lemme browse shit in peace.

Majority of society:

  • "I don't see a problem"
  • "I don't care, it's not like my data is that valuable"
  • "But I actually like these targeted ads! I find so much good stuff this way!"

I think anyone with a working brain has figured out that the police has a side, at least in Brazil. I mean, every time there were demonstrations and walks asking for a fucking military coup and a new military dictatorship, the police would smile and pose for all sorts of photos with the participants.

Before the rabble invaded and broke into the buildings at the Plaza of Three Powers in January 8, 2023, it was like the police was escorting a group of friends. In some of the videos, the rabble would yell "We're on your side!" to the police who finally had to fight them. Of course, the majority of police still identifies with those fucking bozonazis.

I remember my mom once worriedly asked me if I was gay because "I never saw you with a girlfriend". I was a rude, long-haired, weird looking rocker asshole, and 15 at the time of the question.

I spend more time researching and weighing options than actually programming.

It's called Analysis Paralysis caused by Overchoice. Basically, the more similar options there are, the harder it is to pick.

Video is nearly 3 years old now, but I think it's worth watching. Her presentation starts at around 2:30.

Basically, she explains how Redbean, a tiny (~450kb) and very fast C http server, works and how the same executable can be used to deploy it on most operating systems (she starts explaining that around 14:30)

Justine is also the mind behind Sector LISP, Lambda Calculus in 383 bytes, considerable optimizations to LLamaAI, plus several other things.

For those that can't read the image:

>playing some mtg with my college group that meets up at my best friend's every friday
>one of the players asks if his friend can join next time we play
>nobody has a problem with it
>next friday rolls around
>everybody gets set up
>knock on the door
>best friend opens the door
>immediate regret
>actual fucking fecal smell emanates from this mass of unkempt hairy adipose
>try my god damndest to be polite and try to ignore the smell and just play.
>he picks up the game pretty quickly, and thankfully he doesn't speak too often because each time he opens his mouth the halitose burns my nostrils.
>we tolerate this for exactly 10 minutes before the poli-sci dude in our group slams his can of altoids on the plaguelord's side of the table and blurts "do not fucking speak in my direction again until you've fucking emptied this your breath smells like death."
>dead fucking silence for 10 seconds.
>plaguelord gets up, apologizes, and leaves
>we try to pretend this never happened.
>next week rolls around, its still on everyone's mind.
>knock on the door
>takes a few moments to recognize the stranger in front of us
>holy shit its the plaguelord, and he's fucking clean
>completely shaved his patchy neckbeard
>is wearing what looks like a brand new clothes, his jeans even still have a sticker on them
>smells vaguely like strawberries instead of rotten onions
>teeth still stained but the halitose is completely gone and replaced with mint.
>apologized for last week, asked if he could play again
>fast forward a few months and now he's a regular at our table, he even brings homemade snacks.
Has this ever happened in your groups or is this some sort of anomaly/divine intervention?

With efforts to resuscitate Neopets ramping up, monthly users have nearly tripled to 300,000 in the past six months, and the company is on track to be profitable by the end of 2024, [current Neopets Team CEO] Law said.

Also notable:

Law said that rather than cracking down on fan-created components, the company is embracing them. It launched a “Neopass” login system that allows users to access games across the Neopets system, including third-party and fan-made games.

For anyone that missed the initial news back in March -> https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/03/playtron-wants-to-go-way-wider-than-steam-with-a-gaming-os-for-core-casuals/

So, to everyone that was already kinda skeptical back then, congratulations, you were right.

For anyone that, like me, was aware of the "LK plagiarized Kimba" but only ever considered it "neat trivia", time to get some facts straight.

TLDW; Lion King didn't plagiarize Kimba, not by a long stretch. Also, around the 2h mark, our host compares Kimba (1950) to an even older comic of "Simba King of Beasts" (1946)

One of the best comments:

Title should be law professor gets owned by gay furry

If you want to get alcohol poisoning, take a shot every time YMS says "over 3000 minutes of Kimba media"

I say wiki as a point of reference, as it's the thing I'm most used to for organizing information, but anything that lets me create links on specific words, leading me to a different page/display can work.

I prefer FOSS, but anything that's a free download on the play store is fair game, TrackerControl should manage to block annoying ads.

Asking this because I've been thinking about resin printing and how a small layer of said liquid could, in theory, be used to make the prints faster and negate any problems regarding the FEP film (which can wrinkle, tear and be a hassle to clean when small pieces are stuck to it). The ideal liquid would have to be:

  • Inert to UV light
  • Not miscible with the resin
  • Denser than 1.25g/cm³

Maybe the liquid doesn't even need to have a small refraction, so long as the light doesn't diffuse too much after going through ~1mm of it. That or doing some compensation on the print.
