I did a search for some screens to post & turned up this blog post about how it's regarded as a kusoge in Japan due to a silly localization https://legendsoflocalization.com/a-very-quick-look-at-japanese-shadowgate/

Cancelled this evenings laser appointment because I have a big rash on my bum / back of my legs from the cycle and all the other places I want hair gone are too blonde.

Going to attend the local vigil instead

Is there any good tutorial on how to configure networking between #containers and #host with #podman or #docker and #firewalls like #ufw?

I think the next NES game I wanna take a close look at might be Shadowgate. I might play through it and pay more attention to the colors/palettes used

The smart people despise chatGPT.

• I confess myself a bit baffled by people who act like “how to interact with ChatGPT” is a useful classroom skill. It’s not a word processor or a spreadsheet; it doesn’t have documented, well-defined, reproducible behaviors. No, it’s not remotely analogous to a calculator. Calculators are built to be *right*, not to sound convincing. It’s a bullshit fountain. Stop acting like you’re a waterbender making emotive shapes by expressing your will in the medium of liquid bullshit. The lesson one needs about a bullshit fountain is *not to swim in it*. (remote)

Very important work from Lucas: a new set of improved fundamental techniques that will make writing cryptographic proofs for protocols more accessible!

If you're interested in learning how to prove protocols in a modern, self-contained framework, you need to see this! https://eprint.iacr.org/2023/187

Friends, the astroturf campaign out of Apple about browser choice is almost as offensive as the policy itself.

They literally think regulators can't Google.

Freshman-level asshattery.

In, I think, '09, I wrote an email to the policy folks I could find at the time and asked "why aren't you working on housing prices? And why aren't you trying to take money out of politics, given our exposure to those effects?"

ANYWAY, I'm really bummed about a lot of the same things that caused the author to write the post. The Perf Game ruling all, on the back of Bay Area housing prices (and yes, that's the thing at issue) has been shocking demoralising. You can see brilliant PMs and TLs do less-than-socially-optimal stuff in response in a direct way.

There's a post going around about what's wrong with Google, and it reads to me like every founder of a small startup that has confused 100K user P/M-fit with the basis for a holy war.

That said, let me suggest a few nuances:

• yes, Google's conflict-averse culture *is* what is undermining it, year on year
• no, being able to move super fast and risk everything about your brand at every moment from a thousand sources is not brilliance, you incredible ass
• adopting React !== velocity
