Gonna call it now, "cloud gaming"'s biggest value will be in making training data for AI and that's where M$ and the such are going to make the big bucks off of it.

Realistic shooting games especially sound great for all the killbots that will be deployed on civilians in the future 🤪

My job is "computer programmer" but the skill I actually use is "quickly create and transform simulacra of problem spaces within my mind" which applies in other tasks too.
Code just happens to be faster to traverse and is more explicit than some other problem spaces.

Gonna figure out some GeoJSON stuff for work. The format is more straightforward than I expected.

@nasser The "minimal phone" seems like a good candidate but I don't think it'd ship to me in time. 😅

@nasser I kinda wish the Boox Palma 2 was an actual phone instead of a phone sized tablet 😅

Here’s a fun SVG trick I just learned. If you set the fill or stroke properties to currentColor using CSS, your SVG will be the color of the text around it.

This is great for auto-changing light and dark modes because it means you don’t need multiple images – the SVG will just change color appropriately.

Click on the permalink for this note for a demo :D

Thinkin of getting a "travel phone" for my trip next month. Anybody have suggestions for phones that don't suck? I just need it to take a SIM and be able to set up wifi hotspots.

Boosting my mental health by playing the oblivion remaster instead of ruminating on the state of things 🤪

It'd be cool if there were indigenous languages recognized as "official languages" in . Low key wish we had the option to learn them in school instead of (in addition to?) English or French.

Why is it that websites refused to understand the only reason we're using ad blockers is because they upped the number of ads, blasted them everywhere, with pop-ups and sound, and movement, and flashing lights, and God knows what else.

A couple of static ads has never been a problem.

I run uBlock Origin or other ad-blockers in every browser I use.

Sometimes I get the "hey, you're blocking ads, we can't make money" popups. From otherwise agreeable news sites.

Then I think to myself, if you just ran the ads yourself, from your own site, without the adsystem trackers involving Meta/Google/Amazon, then the ads would probably get through.

The ads themselves aren't the problem. It's that publishers want to send all the data and most of the revenue to someone else.

Great article, “How a Biofilm’s Strange Shape Emerges From Cellular Geometry” in Quanta Magazine.

Here are biofilms grown by researcher Lars Dietrich, all from the same bacterium, fed different nutrients.
