I looked more into this--I went deep the other day into Retroarch configs. You can hide menu items so kids can't start just messing with settings.

I mean, I once unmapped all my buttons and I couldn't even get to the menu option to load my last configuration. And I'm a semi-functional adult being!

Interesting you mention one is better for children. Do you think the OS is simple enough that a child, with a little bit of training, could operate it?

Religions need to be rebooted. How many times are they in the news for abuse of power, inappropriate behavior, disputes over land and their rules, and their influence on politics and government? Too many, if you ask me.

It's not a bad thing to regularly get people together, form community, and care for each other. They just need to get with the times, man.

Suggestions:

  • don't shun "non-believers"
  • stop touching children
  • don't kill people for inappropriately invoking your God's name or image
  • focus less on afterlife and more on the present
  • don't try to keep people stupid, the Internet exists and once they find out you'll lose them forever
  • don't go full zealot on cherry-picked texts while completely ignoring other ones to make arguments.
  • don't be a dick
  • have checks on power, money, and influence
  • ain't no one got time to read tomes

You should check out the end credits for "Ferris Buellers Day Off" and then the closing credits for "Deadpool." 😆😆

Actually, no, but I'll check them out though! The Tecmo Bowl artwork is really familiar; I've seen that image in ads

some more ideass:

  • Prigozhin was already dead when he was put on the airplane
  • Russians procured 10 more random dead bodies to throw on the airplane
  • completely fake story, Prigozhin is detained in prison somewhere

He shouldn't have taken the player option.

If ChatGPT gets erased and rescanned with new stuff, I can see different "flavors" popping up to replace it. For example: Conservative GPT, no content related to trans, evolution, or climate change. Vetted Wikipedia entries only.

I used it extensively to help me code my PHP for an art portfolio site. Briefly thought about using 11ty but needed to put something up quick after being laid off and I knew PHP.

For the most part it was good. It was really good at creating simple functions for me. My issue came when I asked it to build me a JS lightbox in Bootstrap. i wanted it to look a certain way so I had to edit my prompt multiple times because it would edit the code and "forget" my previous modification. Ended up using someone else's JS code.

It was incredibly frustrating. It's powerful, but still limited.

For real??? That's garbage

And soon...shortly after that, ads

I read somewhere else that no one expected this movie to do so well. This and the Taylor Swift Eras tour is killing it!!

 

So I'm at this fancy art book fair. The last thing i expected to see was an illustrated portrait of Jokic on the wall. Better still, it's the pic they showed off all during the playoffs when he was young. No caption. You either know or you don't. I'm now regretting not asking about the price.

 

So sad to hear another institution is shutting down. There's been some fierce competition in the beer space so I wonder if its the marketplace.

 

Really great in-depth reporting from The Chronicle on Honduran drug dealers and how they spend the money back home. Hint: It's like a Bay Area sports shrine.

Also good: Chronicle's coverage of drug markets

 

I love this bag!

I've done just about everything and I'm just about to take on Lavos.

I started playing Chrono Trigger+ because of all the posts I saw on r/sbcgaming. Seeing as how it's my fav game of all time, I decided to play it again (guesstimating for the 9th time since playing it as a kid).

My notes on my experience this time around.

  • so amazing to be able to take screenshots, like a modern console
  • the menu system still holds up. swapping people out of your party and moving items between party members is very smooth (some of these older games are REALLY bad)
  • I did some fast forwarding to speed up battles. The live battle system makes this a little challenging sometimes
  • the music in Zeal still slaps
  • CT+ has a bar/cafe area in the End of Time not in the original game
  • graphics still look amazing like they did back in the day.
