@niplav@niplav.github.io I like it, but you probably shouldn’t take only my word for it. I suspect it’s piggybacking a lot off of how much I liked its SNES predecessor and know/like the vibe of * Mana games. Also, the last three JRPGs I’ve played were Dragon’s Dogma, NieR:Automata, and…Chrono Trigger. I don’t know what’s good and new in JRPGs ever since Square left Nintendo. I’m just glad they’re back.

I just timed it: 59 seconds for my Raspberry Pi to boot, 33 of which is waiting for my keyboard firmware to initialize. That's just absurd.

¯_(ツ)_/¯ It’s a funky mechanical thing running QMK, but I have two others that fit that description which don’t behave like this.
Conspiratorial Thinking and “Multiple Outs”
How to do magic tricks…Magicians have this concept called “Multiple Outs.” It’s actually how you can do simple magic tricks. Suppose you have a person pick a card and say you will guess the suit of their card.
They pick a diamond card and announce it, and you tell them to check underneath their chair to reveal a slip of paper that says, “You will pick a diamond card.”
That might sound like a nice trick, but if they had picke … ⌘ Read more
major difference between updating on evidence vs. morals: we know that a bayesian is converging (monotonically?) towards truth with each piece of evidence, while with moral progress, it seems likely that we are not bounded in how wrong our updates can be (even if we grant that the arc bends towards justice in the end). we might need to escape moral local maxima. therefore, it seems good to preserve option value.
I can often distinguish sympathetic mockery from sneering mockery, even with relatively litlte context. I wonder why – what am I picking up on? What is the distinct way of making fun of someone you actually like vs. don’t like?
Programs and Equipment I Use
After many requests, here are the programs I use for everything. I’m only putting here programs I consider tried and true and have used for a while.
I’m about getting things done quickly and having as little space between my thoughts and actions on the computer.
I like having vim-like bindings and prefer running programs in the terminal for simplicity’s sake. That said, I’m very much against the cringey meme that things … ⌘ Read more
Reviews of All Linux Distros (That Matter)
Firstly, once you reach basic competency in Linux, different distributions don’t matter. A lot of newbies analyze distros based on what they look like when you install them, often not realizing that it’s a pretty simple affair not just to change superficial things like your theme and setup, but entire desktop environments. Basically all distro reviews online are wastes of time for people who know what they’re doing. When I came to YouTube, all … ⌘ Read more
Why It’s Bad to Have High GDP
To put it in other words…The common way of looking at Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is that it’s a metric of economic success: more GDP is more wealth.Wealth is good. “Poverty” (meaning low per capita GDP) is bad.Nowadays, pretty much everyone talks about “economics” like this as if this truism was scribbled on the back walls of the cosmos.
This is just looking at one side of the ledger in a kind of global double-entry accounting book.A logically equivale … ⌘ Read more
I like and use the Brave Browser.It’s a free and open source browser with features like:
- Ad-blocking by default.
- Tracker-blocking by default.
- Anti-fingerprinting mechanisms to prevent you from being monitored.
- Built-in Tor windows.
- Run by a based Christian and not furry leftists.
As far as I’m concerned, Brave is indisputably the best general-purpose browser out there.There are other okay brows … ⌘ Read more
my brain really likes accumulation.
I keep going back ‘n’ forth on whether to experiment with Pleroma on my Pi. :-) A Tildes post on the sad news that Feneas is struggling has rekindled the fire, oddly. I just like knowing, first-hand, what’s involved in running these services; I feel it makes me a better yarn.social advocate. ^⨰^
twt is better because I can pronounce it like twit, which sounds a bit like “twat”, which is an insult and therefore better.
Think of it like buying a signed print of a photo, instead of the photo itself, but the “signature” is an entry in a database and that’s all you get. Still dumb.
so much is different now, i feel like i’m in a completely different place then when i was writing here last
2-bit audio gives you DC. I like having DC.
@niplav@niplav.github.io “adrationalism” is probably better. “irrationalism” sounds like a pie-appreciation club for math nerds.
Many are very upset about the return of RMS, and how that could be seen to legitimise his views. I knew nothing about his views, really, controversial or otherwise. I’m currently correcting that. I do like how he’s acknowledged that his views on certain controversial subjects has changed since 2013; an admission that he was wrong. I guess an important question is whether his new views on said subjects align with the current moral standard. More reading required…

@(frogorbits.com) “@niplav Seems like most of the (radical) life extension people are interested in adding years to their lives, but agnostic about adding life to their years. “Be old longer” doesn’t appeal to a lot of people.” -> I disagree, the people who i know that are interested in life extension look to me more engaged in life than the ones who are not (though that hinges on definitions of ”adding life to their years”). i agree that “adding life to your years” is underappreciated, though.

@darch@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net Technically it should be at the start.. Though the parser doesn’t currently care where it is. Though that leads to artifacts like any random string inside perens becoming a subject.

@thewismit@twtxt.psynergy.io Hey! It’s easy. Just install the twt CLI with something like:

Then use it in some hooks/scripts to post some content to your Pod.

The format I have followed has been '# ' :whitespace: :key-name: :whitespace: '=' :whitespace: :value: keys can be repeated and accessed like an array of values.

I wonder if email would be a reasonable way to enable interaction on twtxt… something like publishing an email address for replies in the preamble of your feed, then like twtxt the rest is up to you, but I could imagine a simple moderation queue that could be checked periodically allowing the admin to move approved comments into some public space… I keep thinking I’ll add activitypub comments to my site but it seems more complex than I care for. Ironically because of available tooling email actually feels simpler for this… of course, there is spam…
