Using an AI to monitor an AI is a level of absurdity Philip K. Dick never quite got to.

Dr Suess did though!

The thing that we need is a bee-watcher-watcher!". Well, the bee-watcher-watcher watched the bee-watcher. He didn’t watch well so another Hawtch-Hawtcher had to come in as a watch-watcher-watcher!

That was really cool. I love the different way of using dice to end up with a distribution curve, rather than a linear distribution of results when you roll!

It was the shared instance setting! I disabled it (we only have one instance), and the duplicate went away!

And once more, thank you for putting your work in to Reitti. We’ve been using it pretty much since you made it public, and have all of our history imported, and it’s great to be able to self host this data and get it out of googles hands!

There’s also another issue we’ve found (unrelated to memories). We have two people using it, and we were sharing location data with each other from when you first enabled the feature, and haven’t touched it since then.

Today, when I updated to v2, I noticed that even though I could see my partners name and icon listed in my map, I wasn’t getting her data. She went to her settings and clicked me to share data, and from then on, I was getting her data, but there are now two copies of her icon at the top of the map

When I try and create a memory, it tells me that I need to enter a start date (which I have done). It creates the memory anyway, but it doesn’t show it until I manually refresh the page. For what it’s worth, I don’t use US date formatting (I’m in Australia)

The video is just a slide show of 8 photos, each photo with an 8 second exposure, so the actual motion was over 1 minute. I wasn’t aware of it when I was actually doing the captures though, so I caught it “mid strike”. The stills I took before and after those 8 frames were pointed at a different section of the sky, so I don’t know if it ended with a big discharge

A minute long continuous discharge, slowly travelling across the sky is a little unusual though!

I’m with you! The texture is a horror.

The opening line of that wikipedia article says they’re “equivalent to sexes in multicellular lifeforms”

I love COSMIC so far. As soon as it supports HDR, I’ll move to it full time. For now, I only run it on my non HDR laptop

Tim Minchin summed it up wonderfully for me.

Because throughout history
Every mystery
Ever solved has turned out to be
Not magic

I played them all back then! My favourite was Curse of the Azure Bonds, because it tied in with the book that I had absolutely loved

I don’t know how many of these hold up in their own right these days, but these are the formative games I played before 1990.

• Reach for the Stars - The first 4X game. It created and introduced me to a genre that I still love today!

• Dragonstrike - A dragon riding flight simulator set in the D&D setting of Krynn. It was release in 1990 though, so it’s only here if we fudge a little

• Pools of Radiance - The first D&D CRPG. I know for sure this one doesn’t hold up, but it was amazing back in the day!
• Tunnels & Trolls Crusaders of Khazan - Another CRPG, this one also from 1990. It sticks out in my memory mostly because I found a “gatling bow” which would empty your quiver by firing all of your arrows at a target when you took a shot. I also found a never ending quiver. It was game breaking. I’d hit things with 30 arrows per shot and just annihilate everything.
• Kings Quest IV Perils of Rosella. A real time adventure/puzzle/RPG game. First game I played with a dedicated female protagonist!
• Sid Meier’s Railroad Tycoon - Another “Made in 1990” game. It was the first (and IMO, still the best) game in the Railway Tycoon series and I believe it was also the first game in the “Tycoon” genre
• Sim City - The first in the Sim City series, and the first of the “Sim” titled games. I loved it back in the day, even even got to play it at school. It doesn’t hold up very well against later games in the series though.

The point is transphobia. They will just use it as an excuse to persecute you, without giving the slightest bit of consideration to you. In the same way that the UK is trying to ban trans folk from using any gendered toilet. The point is the discrimination, they don’t give a shit about “gotchas”

I’m on Linux everywhere at home except for my lounge family PC. It runs windows and Linux, but boots in to windows by default. That way when my kid or friends/family are using it, it’s familiar to them, but when I use it, I can boot it in to linux.

It’s not even true dual booting. Rather, they’re each installed on their own dedicated drives, and I jump in to the bios to boot from Linux when I need it. It means they don’t really even have to coexist and break each other’s installs

We run quite a few fediverse instances together, so yes :)

Por que no los tres?

It would be ionic if it does

That would be great if anyone was actually attemping to reclaim pepe, but in practice, more often than not, the red flags are right.
