Imagine how shitty you have to be to get booed by people who are still willing to pay money to go see Dave Chapelle

@leigh hi! I stream a lot of virtual pinball, mostly in a stream series where I’m experiencing it chronologically (1979 starts tomorrow).

And my wife and I just bought a physical Legends of Valhalla table.

The flippers were taunting me in plain sight for an hour and a half, and I eventually found the connector that went to them, but I had to get dinner. Resuming and then doing Advent of Code

A while back I saw an r/woodworking post where someone was asking for resources for woodworking plans. A few people told them to Google it.

If you Google it you get absolute horseshit. Just page after page of useless results. So we need to stop the fucking "let me google that for you" era and recognize that search is entirely broken in the modern day. We NEED human recommendations and information sharing now more than ever.

multiworld night! 6 of us are playing 6 interlinked randomized games: A Link to the Past, Hollow Knight, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Pokemon Red/Blue, and two games of Timespinner.

Items for any game can be found in any game.

Twitch have added a bunch of new charities to their list, and two of them are the LGB alliance - a transphobic hate group - and Autism Speaks - an ableist hate group.

This can't be allowed to stand. Please use the link below if you have a twitch account to vote for this issue:

@GlitchedHeart I'm using Toot! and once I got it to stop actually making a toot noise, it's been good

just gonna say it: I'm seeing a lot of trans people showing solidarity with NYT staff today and ... jeez it would be really nice if they could return the favor

@Raspberry_Pi@raspberrypi.social

Criticizing amoral tech dudes for the job they previously had is a long and proud tradition! genius.com/Tom-lehrer-wernher-

the mastodon equivalent of "getting ratioed" is when your toot causes your instance to go down

People calling whatever newly release game du jour "the worst looking game ever", or "the worst game ever", I challenge you to spend an hour playing something I pick out for you. We'll start with Hell Fighter and Gangcheol Robocop.

Years ago I set up a Google Alert on Natural Language Processing (mostly with the goal of turning up job postings for students in my program). Based on what that is returning these days, I need journalists to know that using a language model to write an article is not an original idea.

Also, it plainly conveys a lack of interest in truthful reporting (even when the use of the LM is revealed). In what other contexts to journalists print something followed by ... 🙃NOT🙃
