Conquerors putting on technology colored lipstick

He’s just building his little kingdom to set up for

Like all the billionaire tech bros want

Oh I did not get that reference, thanks for sharing and fuck him

Well the Republican way is carrying the baby to term so that it becomes more meat for the machine, we need those disposable workers and consumption machines, not supporting the parents or baby after it’s born is part of the point

Yeah Santa famously has a coke pinky, why do you think he thrives in the snow?

On this day we are all the fartographer

Depending on the holes you count that’s anywhere between two and seven wolves needed, but my math could be off

I think he’d be alright with it

“and we never get fat because of olive oil.”

Also this is teams and teams of people, from different nations, organizations, all working on his messaging. Don’t for a second forget this is dark enlightenment, heritage foundation, maybe Russia too, he’s a puppet and someone put in his place from that same group of mixed but related goals will be either the same or worse

Yeah the idea that Disney wasn’t already building their own AI shit to just pump out trash content, especially to improve costs on voice acting and render farms is pretty wild. What’s happened at this point is

1. They’re worried about the bubble collapse, when a ceiling is reached that there’s no way this is more profitable
2. They don’t have the time/money to fund bigger and and bigger server farms in an increasingly competitive space and it’s cheaper to just align with OpenAI for now.
3. They’re hoping when number 1 happens they just scoop up number 2. People will stop using AI for their daily life stuff. People won’t stop taking their kids to see the lion king 9 or whatever

The virtue of QT based toolkits, which thankfully they haven’t tried to shaft KDE on, as long as the project is open source

Remember, if you’re brown and get accused of doing that, fat dudes pretending to be tactical black bag you. If you’re a rich celebrity and literally do that, people just laugh and it’s ok

There’s not really a great word for it either. Vaporwave became a “cope” for like technology out of time. Apparently this is a nickname for the trope but I don’t like it: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SchizoTech. Schizo tech to me is just literally doomscrolling TikTok while ignoring everything around you

Or even just a new DM in general. The whole thing is a group activity for mutual enjoyment. I ran a cyberpunk red campaign as the GM with 6 players for like a year, and it was my first time DM/GMing in general, and it was also a brand new system at the time. Everyone was very forgiving, lax and then serious in the story when it mattered. I certainly would have quit if people were assholes because my math wasn’t there or I had to flip pages to figure out like fire damage calculations without having them bookmarked or whatever

Or Kate, which funny enough now runs on windows

I think spotify / discord / vscode (and derivatives) / slack are probably the most installed electron apps.

A lot of pretty popular packages in those lists are electron apps, unfortunately

Yeah the Human Interface Guidelines were the precursor to design systems, and for a little while, design/ux really was front and center and that influence and patterns that worked spread through software projects and products. Nowadays sadly UX always takes a back seat to capitalizing on attention, and capitalism in general.

Edit: It’s important to remember that Apple was writing 350 page interface books in 1992. They pioneered “look and feel.”

Nowadays those questions are like

“Did the user make a purchase? How many ads did they see in 15 seconds? Are they still scrolling? How much data have you collected?”
