Probably... later.
I bought pants with fake pockets.
I think the original author of this comic was @smoothdunk2.bsky.social but I'm unsure
/googles miralax Ohhhhhhh!
What an ass.
I refuse to give any attention to X. Fuck that site.
I figured by 2025 this kind of stuff would be handled well by AI tools, but no, that's not the case. I can't even get operational code from ChatGPT for Playwright. It's hilarious how incompetent these tools are, but the AI is even worse. Do not rely on AI to guide you to use these tools.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS ONLY TEN BUCKS?!? spaghetmenot.gumroad.com/l/normalmagic Hey if you're a 3D artist you should deffo check this out π
Teens shouldn't be using ChatGPT in the first place. Now, we're blaming ChatGPT for kids killing themselves? Come on.
I found that I have to use the 'expect' function around the object to get the toBeVisible method to work. That was the missing piece of the puzzle there. Now, I'm trying to figure out why the modal isn't seen. Sigh.
Hah, nice shirt.
I'm struggling to use Playwright for testing page navigation on pages with modals. The isVisible method works somewhat but it leads to some weird errors later. The toBeVisible method is advised but returns an immediate error. I really wish testing frameworks weren't so finicky.
Reporting is advisable, yes.
My caulk is empty. I need new caulk.
You can get your account suspended on bsky for being anti-trump? I don't think that's how this platform works.
Thing is, they don't know they've been shamed if they're blocked. Shame them, but don't block them. Let them see they're idiots. Maybe just mute them if you're going to avoid them. Then, they still see your disapproval but can't get on your nerves anymore. If they harass you after that, block them.
interested* in learning π€¦ edit button would be useful here.
They're often just idiots... lying but not on purpose. Problem is they don't ever fact-check themselves before saying anything. π Social media should limit political discussion to people who can research and read.
You may be right, but you never know until you try. Exposure to the other side of an argument is the only way to learn how truly idiotic you are. I, for one, don't like living in a bubble. However, this specific user, @rhino0321, is definitely not interesting in learning... based on their behavior.
I strongly advise you *not* to block people over mindless talk. It helps solidify the walls around them and keeps them in the dark. We want to educate them. We educate people by letting them into our circles... maybe not our inner circles, mind you. Only block them once they push your boundaries.
I'd much rather go to Star Trek land than Star Wars land. Just saiyan.
I calculated that wrong by considering the price from 1979, but it's still a good sample to consider. $80-90 for a day ticket is still *not* cheap, especially if you consider other costs like room-n-board and travel and meals.
"Fucking duck attacked me" π¦
Disney World could be way cheaper, but it was never actually cheap. Even in its initial years, the tickets were $3.50 (nearly $30 today). The price doubled in 1979, not even a decade later to $7 (~$55 today) and by 1986, the price was $28 (~$205 today). In 2019, the price was $120, about half cost.
Consistency is only a thing with books and YT videos. If you're releasing games or websites or even movies, consistency rarely matters.
The games industry was much smaller in the Wing Commander days, and the deliverables for those older games were much smaller in scope and quality. I say that having been a big fan of Wing Commander since I was a child.
I got a 6TB enterprise grade NAS drive brand new for ~$75. Slow but great capacity. Brand was MDD. Great deals from them. I would recommend them for a home network or media center, but I wouldn't use them for video editing over 720p because the speed is just crazy slow and affects the editor.
That said, yes, it's a great score... even with the tax implications.
In U.S.A., these items aren't actually free. They count as income, so you pay tax on them, and it's a lot of tax if you're not careful.
I'd go on secondhand markets for these. They rarely actually break in my experience. The amount of money saved could mean buying another one if the first one is a dud.
Re-pairing fixes this issue for me. The issue tends to happen because the controller paired with the wrong device. I end up having to unplug my dongle(s) for trackers so the controller will pair with the headset. I also sometimes see this issue when the controller stays paired to another headset.
Just a reminder... RFK Jr. is not a scientist and he is not a medical doctor. He has no formal education of any kind in any scientific or medical field He frequently makes decisions and comments that are not supported by science or evidence.

"Look, honey! It's Jerry!" "Oh, yeah, can't forget that one! Jerry was special."
Ew.
Rewatching the "what." special from Bo Burnham. He was always funny. I smirked at least twice already and I'm only halfway in. #deep
If you have a PC, there's Viveport Infinity, which lets you keep some games permanently sometimes and has tons more games in its selection.
History repeats itself. It's only a matter of time.
Oh shit... the backpacks make this whole thing work so well.
Yeah, I'm just giving ya a hard time. π
To be fair, CSS is awfully confusing, and anyone who wants to be good at it has to either learn to be okay with really low expectations or be okay with overly complicated solutions for very basic effects/positioning.
Well, apparently, I'm the dumbest people. Jeeeeez. π€
That "we gotta get him back" narrative is what we were expecting. It's such a cliche. Still, the show is entertaining, and I look forward to watching it, anyway.
I was expecting Nothing Ear price to be $0. The price is $79 directly from their website using the Wired link. You can get similar earbuds (similar battery life, noise canceling) with a smaller footprint for less than $40 from more established brands... like this one: syrsly.com/blog/soundco...
It had such a lackluster launch that it feels like it happened a longer time ago.
Never stops being funny.
Deleted my last negative list on this platform on main. I'm not willing to keep up with such things and would rather curate my feed using custom feeds and the mute/block features.
What's that? I can't hear you. You said something about X?
On first glance, ti sounds like Geocities.
Unity seems to be hinting at another flash sale in a week that will last at least a week.
Who else thought the turned over Twitter icon looked like Sonic The Hedgehog?
Don't you mean The Site Formerly Known As Twitter? π€
The irony is it wasn't due to laziness of the people in general. Most people were willing to help each other. It was due to government impedance and shortsightedness by those responsible. We had never before seen a state's disaster relief fail so hard.
Try something new. There are new VR releases every month worth checking out at least for a few hours. Here's a new multiplayer minigame game: store.steampowered.com/app/3365420/...
My blood pressure has been high my whole life, but I started getting weird rash-like symptoms on an old injury that scarred over, and I'm worried about it, but getting a dermatologist appointment is next to impossible.
I love how I go to a doctor for one thing that's dire and they end up ignoring the dire thing almost entirely and focus on my blood pressure or something.
I get it, what I said may not be something useful and may be obvious to you, but what's obvious to you isn't obvious to everyone. Hell, even if it is obvious to you, me saying it makes you think about it... and sometimes, that's just motivation.
Time for a new 'subtweet': I'm tired of people getting on social media to complain about their problems and then getting mad at me for attempting to console or advise them. They treat me like an asshole for saying anything at all. Then I point that behavior out and I'm suddenly even more of an ass.
I'm trying to be nice and give you a "yeah, bro, that's tough" in a way, but you just don't want me to speak at all. I put in the effort of suggesting selling the old rig in case you didn't consider it yet, but apparently, you'll just get upset at anything. π€¦
Oh, this is easily explainable if we consider the Linux world. You have 'users' with 'ownership' but the users are not actual people, they are data. If digital data can own something, why can't a physical object own something? Then, we start discussing what it means to 'own' something, yadda yadda.
π Have fun replacing every part of your rig, then. You could sell the old PC for extra funds. Alienware brand goes for a little extra on the secondhand market sometimes depending on the coolness factor of the case.
Agree about the character creator stuff. If you have to take models into your own hands, though, it's nothing like a dress-up game.
Motherboard is always upgradable via buying a new motherboard. Hehe.
5 feeds now. I see Graze do some funky stuff every now and then, and it's not always responsive, but the platform is way easier than pretty much anything else especially after the update. I love it.
Maybe look for a used PCVR kit on eBay and if a good deal comes your way, go ahead and grab it.
Only if you're using a VR model generator app.
This says "remote" on the listing but it's on-site in the beginning, so unless you live in the area, don't waste your time.
Imagine needing to be told this.
This movie accurately predicted lots of things: - Wireless earbuds - Active video games - AI NPCs in video games - Generated media (He literally works dictating letters into a computer that writes and styles it for him) - Foldable phones
The biggest issue is the controllers. Getting controllers repaired is pretty much impossible, and getting a replacement after warranty expires is very costly. Meanwhile non-VR controllers are getting very standardized and very affordable to the point where warranty no longer really matters.
Support isn't the same as being playable. There's that. The game will continue to be playable. If you can get mods working, you already get basically unlimited content.
Watching @rbreich.bsky.social "How Do We Get Out of This Mess?" and it's a really long video but it covers a lot of great topics, including a living wage for tip workers, universal basic income, social security fixes, paid sick leave, medicare for all, unions, etc. www.youtube.com/watch?v=osDC...
I highly recommend using @graze.social for your Bluesky feeds. I'm maintaining 4 Bsky feeds on their platform already. I'm seeing some issues with the caching on the bsky.app client, but that's not Graze's fault. I use deck.blue to see feed updates faster and a better realtime monitoring experience.
I'm working on some backend tools on my personal site to prepare for making the same system usable on my reviews site, which is still something I plan to make happen. I'll let you all know when I get the reviews site into an alpha state, and that's when I'll start recruiting helpers.
Everything starts somewhere. Even the big stuff.
Why? How? π€
I don't feel like losing my livelihood just yet. π
I get to deal with an AI phone system again... greaaat. /s
What are two companies you consider evil? Adobe and whatever Elon Musk is tied to.
This could be nice for a 3d print project where you make a handheld PC. There aren't a lot of such projects which have the screen at less than $50 and more than 3 inches.
Just another day in Texas. /s
I wish when we debunked companies, they were banned from advertising ever again. BetterHelp is awful, but they sponsor so many YouTubers, and the YouTubers just take the money.
Got any really cool books in there?
Oof. Wish him a good recovery.
Had trouble running a grep command today. Felt bad.
Meanwhile, here in the States, we're having to pay absorbent amounts of money for college loans took out decades ago, when we were kids or young adults with no idea what it would mean later, and medical bills which didn't even fix our problems.
Wait, Unbeatable has a VR port? π€
I don't need 50 words to say "This sucks."
Pony Island was such a trip.
Most recent article in the WTF Happened series hasn't really met the analytics goals I hoped to see. Most of my posts see 400+ unique views in their first week and reach 2K+ unique views in their first month and continue to grow. This one got ~200 views in its first week despite being posted sooner.
If it helps, I list a bunch of new and upcoming VR titles for every major platform in my monthly recap article at syrsly.com/blog Example screenshot included from July 2025 recap which is located at syrsly.com/blog/2025-07... PSVR2 releases have been lackluster lately, but there are lots for Meta.
Looks visceral. Very... visceral.
RAM will likely be split between 3 parts: 1. classic RAM sticks 2. more on-CPU memory that's faster access 3. more cache for storage drives It's the same as we have today but more of it.
We may start combining CPUs and GPUs into a single product and then having "Enhancement Cores" you add onto the CPU to simply make it faster at specific tasks. Need a video encoding core? Easy. Buy one and stick it in. Need a video AI processing core? Same-o!
GPUs and accelerator cards are getting general purpose enough that the PCI Express bus is an unnecessary headache. As kind of a crazy example, look at the Tenstorrent Blackhole. You can run Linux *on* the card itself using the built in RISC-V cores, which means you have: Linuxβ¦on Linux.
End Game was more of a continuation of Infinity War, so you didn't feel the need to discuss it much. Discussions were boiled down to "Hey, you wanna see part 2?" and "Of course! Gotta see how they bounce back from the last one!"
That would make this game an insta-buy for me, assuming it isn't $70+ and keeps its desktop/PS5 visual aesthetic. I don't yet have a good dark adventure for the Switch 2 and don't really see anything else yet that fits into that category.
I'd prefer a physical collectors' edition Blu-Ray with all the Superman movies in one box set with tons of extras.
