a capitalist would look at the doujin art scene that has sprung up around Touhou, encouraged and cultivated by its author with his permissive licensing, and say that, despite ZUN being famous/beloved and easily making enough to live off of, that he's a failure, as he hasn't turned Touhou into a paperclip maximizer

but if your goal is the enrichment of culture and the arts, upholding storytelling traditions and inventing new ones, of inspiring and bringing together the next generation around a shared medium, then Touhou and ZUN have succeeded beyond all expectations, in its own niche way

capitalism is a thought-terminating cliche that cannot fathom people valuing things other than monetary growth

ZUN's author notes of Touhou 19: Unfinished Dream of All Living Ghost are, once again, inspiring

in a world that demands perfection and efficiency, imperfection and the flow of creativity within art scenes amount to an act of rebellion

I just peer-reviewed a forensic analysis in a case.

The suspect mailed a package with a hidden Apple AirTag in it to a victim's old home address.

The package was forwarded to her new (and formerly safe) address....

Might be good to warn DV victims of unexpected mail.

People who design APIs. I am begging you. It doesn't matter how "simple" or "intuitive" or "elegant" your API is. You need to include sample code.

How do people use Windows??? Wife just spent several days troubleshooting webcam drivers; today I look at it, the event log mentions a problem during camera initialization, and just some numeric code. I look for that code and a Lenovo page tells me to see if the camera is not disabled... with the F8 key.

I press F8 and the camera fucking works again.

you know when you mess with your binocular vision by letting the axes of your eyes diverge a bit, and the illusion of it being a single image breaks, as you see two images simultaneously? this is z-fighting, to me

date idea: we hook up dial-up modems together and go eeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyzzzzzshgshhshshshshshaaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
