  • If I'm still just on the acid trip I started July 24th 2005 what types of things would you say to convince me this isnt a hallucination?

    Jump

  • Count the fingers in your head or out loud. They may have the wrong number of fingers, the number may change while you try to count them, the fingers can be deformed and keep on changing when you look at them.

    Ah shit, my suspicion was correct - I'm an AI, and a bad one at that. Now I know why the world around me doesn't feel real.

  • What's something you wish you did/didn't do when you were a child, but wouldn't change you much even if that was the case?

    Jump

  • I wish I didn't slack off on math. Now that I'm doing gamedev I've had to re-learn a lot of it.

    Same goes for English, actually. Not my native language

  • Europeans, how far do you walk for groceries?

    Jump

  • In a 300-meter radius I have two large stores that I visit often, one super large 1 km away, and lots of small ones. Plus there are plenty of fast-food places all around. If I'm cooking something and realize I don't have an ingredient it takes like 7 minutes on foot to get it and be back in my kitchen. So I have never felt the need to have a car.

    Your smart bulbs record 78% of conversations even when you think they're off

    Jump

  • That's cool, that's cool. I bet with some kind of neural link we'll be able to bump that up to 200%

  • I wish there was a right click install button for deb files

    Jump

  • Gnome-Software and GDebi can do exactly that for you. Download a deb, right click "open with X", and they'll install it for you using GUI. You can even change file associations so debs are opened by gdebi/gnome-software by simple double-clicking.

  • Harm reduction tips for an All Nighter

  • I used to work night shifts and sometimes had to function afterwards, sometimes for long periods of time. What helped me to stay awake and somewhat clear-minded is light physical activity. Don't sit too much, move, walk around, do some squats, do push ups if you can. Get some fresh air. Cold water on the face helps. If your eyes tend to get tired get some eye drops (artificial tears). And of course coffee helps too.

    Also be careful, it's easy to lose balance in a sleep deprived state. So no dangerous surroundings if you can help it.

  • The ruins of Dryburgh Abbey [OC]

    Jump

  • Question. Why is the grass so... perfect? Do they mow it regularly? Is there someone who maintains these ruins, and it's more like a public park rather than a truly abandoned site?

  • It's my own work. So, thanks! I have BlueSky and Mastodon blogs, they aren't dedicated to 100% pixel art, just my personal blogs where I post all the things that I do.

  • Haha yeah I can see that now.

  • Can't fathom it

    Jump

  • I don't. I feel it takes a few hours (4-5) for my body to wake up enough to feel hunger, and if I force myself to eat breakfast I feel queasy. So I just eat black coffee and move on.

  • The irony

  • As a read-only SO user - thank you for your answers!

  • Some really nice frog I saw today

    Jump

  • Cool frog!

  • APIs vs Web Scrapers

    Jump

  • Fourth panel as well, with those bots collecting data for AI training that don't respect your robots.txt, change user agents and overload your servers

  • how do I know that you guys are real and not bots?

    Jump

  • You don't. I don't. We don't. My comment could have been written by AI, just as your post. At some point I'm sure some of us, without knowing, had a discussion with an AI bot pushing some sort of propaganda or shilling something. I mean, it was happening even before AI - years before, and some political regimes have been flooding the internet with their shit and it was well documented. Now it's just getting worse.

    Even "vetted account run by a real person" can be later handed over to an AI bot farm.

    Also, I have fun imagining a bunch of AI bots stuck in a discussion loop, endlessly shilling crap to each other, creating insanely long threads until the platform can't handle it anymore or until a Mod AI comes along and slaps them out of it.

  • There are two types of Lua users

    Jump

  • World of Warcraft plugins and Awesome WM configs. There are some decent 2d game engines that use Lua too, like Love2d!
