    the play is to get attention and congrats: it worked.

  • idk about mashed potatoes, but i do just add matcha to half the things i bake now. matcha banana bread? yes. matcha pancakes? hell yeah. does it taste better? actually yes, but more importantly my pancakes are caffeinated now, as i argue they should have been from the start.

  • just heads up if you're getting captchas on YT you'll probably start getting those on other Google services over time too.

    it snowballs like this: YouTube decides you're a bot => you use less YouTube => Google/Alphabet gets less information/fingerprints of you => Google Search decides you're a bot => you switch to a different search engine => Google Maps decides you're a robot ...

  • if you're arguing that violence is a poor way by which to shape a society, preach that to the police. it's literally what they do for a living.

  • What are people usong as thei music player app nowadays?

    Jump

  • i keep my music organized on-disk so that each song is placed at <artist>/<album>/<track-number>-<title>.flac. then i just use any file browser (e.g. rofi, or portfolio) to navigate it, and when i select a song it opens in mpv. i installed the playlistmanager mpv script so that when i open any song, mpv queues everything else in that folder (so if i open track 01, the default behavior is gapless playback of the whole album). i also installed the uosc script, which provides a UI that's much friendlier than the default IMO.

    i find i prefer configuring just one media player and then using that for everything (music, audiobooks, videos, podcasts, etc). then for example when i decide i want to cast music to my TV, i only have to solve that once, and not separately for casting youtube, local videos, etc.

    Jump

  • if it read "what's the problem", i'd agree. otherwise, i'll toss it to whoever's well-versed in Chicago speech styles. perhaps the passive-aggressiveness of Seattle is coloring my view 🙃

  • half of the clergy said "what's your problem", which would usually mean "the answer to whatever you just asked is so obviously 'no' that you're a bad person just for asking it: what's your problem". i have to respect that some topics are simply off-limits for some people: if you're going to someone asking for advice about a moral quandary and their convictions are strong enough they don't wanna discuss the topic beyond "hell no", i don't fault them for that.

  • in my head, there's a direct causal chain:

    1. the court presents me with the accusation and the evidence.
    2. i declare if the evidence supports the accusation.
    3. the judge declares a punishment in response to that verdict.
    4. law enforcement delivers the punishment.

    if i believe (3) and (4) will function as stated, then it's equally accurate to say that in step 2 i am deciding whether or not to confiscate $250,000 from this mother and cancel her home internet connection.

    but a huge number of people i present this to refuse to admit that equivalence. there is some question about whether weakening the norm might cause more damage than mistreating the mother, but does that even weaken the point? the common answer from those who bring it up is "there's too much uncertainty to say": build a complex enough machine, and people are eager to deny the downstream effects of their actions.

    (you can overcome most of the degradation-of-norms issue by making this a secret hearing, and still a lot of people will hesitate to admit the equivalence between their verdict in step 2 and the effects of step 3/4)

  • i've had better luck illustrating the point with a less abstract case: the 2000's called and it's your turn for jury dury. the case for today is that of a single mother who downloaded some Disney movies off Limewire for her kids to watch so she could get some time to herself to take care of chores.

    should the jury find her guilty, you suspect that the judge will fine her $250,000 and cancel her home internet connection. you think such a punishment would do more net harm than good. but you don't get to decide the punishment (that's for the judge to announce after the jury deliberates), you just decide the guilty/not-guilty verdict.

    you look at the evidence: the mother definitely downloaded those files. what verdict do you deliver the judge?

  • crafting a search term has changed over the years though. the old approach of "type 3-5 keywords into the box and get a list of pages that use those words close to eachother" isn't supported anymore, and the new approach is "type a phrase and we'll look for things semantically related".

    at that point, the input box isn't that different from the chatbot box.
