@darius aight it's basically walt jabsco!! that works, that works fine in-deed.

@darius @SpindleyQ me absorbing this new information

@darius i think about the Anna's burrito as well sometimes, partly because i now live in the planet's burrito capital and wonder how well it would measure up to my current very high standards.
i also think about the sweet potato + pecan pancakes at the deluxe town diner in watertown, those were legit fantastic, though probably simple to replicate. hmm...

@darius @clayote and, like helicopters, has very real limits on their utility - there are several very significant reasons beyond safety that helicopters didn't replace cars or trains. right now the claim being made is "our flying cars will replace *everything* so start looking for other work, car mechanics et al"

@darius any idea why those class names are so weird? clearly generated but what is it accomplishing? i know in some cases it's ad blocker evasion but that can't be the only reason can it?

@darius @clarity that's what i figured, and yeah it seems like a bad default. i wouldn't be surprised if some shops deliberately depend on it for blocker evasion though. also weird how it gives end users a sort of visibility into the codebase/dev process (if generated name changes, you know when code was rebuilt and/or something in it changed)

@darius any time i'm presented with a captcha i always wonder if there are particular answers that would let me pass while deliberately fucking up whatever bullshit they're trying to train.

@darius my laptop still runs @elementary, though i haven't upgraded it in many years (no in-place upgrades). even that older version of their DE is quite pleasant and their general UX focus is commendable!

@darius it will live or die as the Vid-Masters will it

@darius tbh i was kinda hoping for this kinda move https://web.archive.org/web/20180129012517/http://prodeum.io/

@darius also does it look cool when you view an RGB JPEG as CMYK or vice versa (or is that not possible given the different strides + amounts of expected data)

@darius @molly0xfff every time i refer to it as "GNU IMP" i feel like the guy ordering from the restaurant with cutesy names for all the food being the sourpuss who refuses to say "Moons Over My Hammy" or whatever, except it's somehow even more degrading and silly.

@darius us: oh so you're actually serious, you genuinely believe this is a new form of consciousness - so you must want it to be treated humanely and insist on its fundamental rights and freedoms as a sentient being?
them: absolutely not

@darius rolling up to that with 493 person-years of game developer careers in a dusty, scratched up stack to exchange for enough money to buy a boba tea

@darius i require all riddles to be put to me in the form of clowns facing ethical quandaries

@darius @courtney definitely willing to wait as long as it takes to see the cheese song animated and voiced.

@darius "Romney wants us to believe that critics of private equity are against capitalism." [hans moleman voice] i'm against capitalism

@darius YESSS
