Summary: A man signed up for a free 1 month trial of "Disney+". That trial contained an arbitration provision. Disney is now arguing in court that arbitration provision covers, literally, the Disneyworld theme park killing his wife

The thing that makes blender really infuriating is that its extreme modalness makes it basically impossible to follow any instructions anywhere.
You look in the manual or at a stackoverflow answer, and it says to click a button.
There is no button.
Why is there no button?
Am I in the wrong mode?
Is it not supported on my hardware platform/render engine?
Did Blender change the UI and now the button is somewhere else or named something else?
Basically impossible to know.

Incidentally, I am shocked to report, now that I have tried it, that git does the correct thing and creates a zip which contains a correctly functioning relative symlink in the zip output. I guess it really is the case that this is a program designed by and for kernel developers (and potentially no one else)

Reasons I hate git tonight.
- If you delete a file, then realize you didn't want to do this , you can bring it back with `git checkout -- filepath`. But if you accidentally delete a directory, and you want to bring it back, this won't work. You have to say `git reset -- dirpath && git checkout -- dirpath`. No one will tell you this. StackOverflow, on this subject, just lies.
- Want to create a git archive and exclude certain files from it? THIS IS GONNA BE THE HARDEST THING IN THE FUCKIN WORLD

2024-08-07 02:58:17

I am on a Linux machine. I cd to a git repository. The git repository contains a symlink (an internal symlink, pointing to a relative path within the project) which is checked into git. I type "git archive --format=zip --output=archive.zip HEAD". I copy the zip file to another linux computer. I unzip it using `unzip`.
What do you expect to happen to the symlink that was previously inside the git repo, in the unzipped file?

I am constantly seeking ways to fit the EICAR antivirus test string into inappropriate places. Fit it in a QR code, print and frame it and hang it behind me during Twitch streams. Embed it in an NFC chip in my wrist. Build an impromptu transmitter and beam it into space.

Hypothesis: The purpose of transphobia simply is for transphobes to claim the power to point at a person and deny their womanhood, or their humanity. On the pro-trans side we're very concerned with how gender is defined and it being defined broadly, but transphobes aren't *actually* interested in any underlying idea or theory, they just want a pretense to lead attack mobs

I'm torn on how I feel about transhumanism because on the one hand I'm very positive on the idea of replacing sections of my body with robot parts and arguably I have started on this project already, but on the other hand almost every single transhumanist future I can conceive of a path to involves at some point introducing the idea of nonconsensual immortality and that's literally the worst thing I can imagine being at risk of

What's amazing to me about this article/study is that after discovering mentions of "AI" make people less interested in products, their recommendation is "so you should not call attention to the AI in your marketing". The idea of simply *not doing* the thing that people don't want is apparently never considered. We cannot conceive of a way of constructing software other than "develop for the investors" https://xoxo.zone/@vwampage/112881383051537497

We're in this weird moment where you could post basically anything purporting to be a Twitter screenshot on Mastodon or Bluesky and people would just believe it and not check to see whether it was made or whether (if say the timestamp was cropped out) it turns out it's actually 3 years old or something. And the people believing it wouldn't even be per se in the wrong, since of course Twitter has made it basically impossible *to* check if a tweet is real.

So if you've been considering taking down / locking your old Twitter account, I just patched my version of the Twitter archiver script to support a wider range of archives. https://github.com/mcclure/twitter-archiver
(The twitter archive format has changed subtly over time, so this sort of thing is necessary. I doubt I have yet found all the tweaks needed to support all archives.)
Maybe I'll do some more work on the archiver this week (docs could use improvement and I would like better QRT support).

I vote in a state that has quite good voting laws by US standards and I still had a year* I didn't get to vote in any elections because it turns out permanent absentee voters have to manually re-register each calendar year & I didn't know that. Voting is too complicated a machine in the US even before you get to suppression! A lot can go wrong. It's worth checking.

Re https://mastodon.social/@mcc/112837388740976931 , there's actually a ton of fascinating stuff happening around this film
- This 6-minute video took *3 years* to make
- The artist is the same guy who did the 3D-rendered Death Star "hologram" in the original Star Wars
- The computer used to make it is interesting by itself, the Datamax UV-1 or "Z-Box". It was designed by the University of Illinois and they somehow talked Bally/Midway into making some. Sources seem to disagree on how many were made or if any were sold

When I was in high school, I had a friend who found out that the University of North Florida has a logo that says "UNF". He thought this was the most amazing, funny thing ever and bought a "UNF" hat from the university mail-order and wore it everywhere. At no point did anyone except him seem to find this funny. I think I was the only person other than him that successfully comprehended it to be a "joke", and I did not laugh at it. Sorry, Chris, whereever you went

Hm.
So my cell provider has no good plan for roaming to Europe. So the last time I was in France, I got a local phone number and a SIM card so I could use Internet while I was there. It was a bit of a pain to get the SIM so I put it somewhere I'd be able to find it* when I next needed it.
Now I can't find it.
Can anyone think of a way to get a French cell phone SIM either without leaving Toronto, or without leaving Charles De Gaulle?

I think my favorite program in the entire linux/unix toolchain is "file". Did you even know about this program? It's on every system including MacOS and it's magic. You run it on any file and it just tells you what it is. Any file. I don't know who keeps this updated but it supports surprising things. Like it knows Windows file formats. If it's a executable it tells you if it's 32- or 64- bit. If it's an image it tells you the size and channels. If the file extension lies it just figures it out.

This is kind of building on something Adam Serwer was saying but—
There's this snap poll showing 50% of the US "agrees" with the Trump verdict, 30% disagrees, and 20% is unsure.
https://bsky.app/profile/johnpfaff.bsky.social/post/3ktr6cgwxel2z
That 20% unsure should be treated as "20% reachable". This suggests someone needs to be reaching them! Republicans, even supposed moderates like Susan Collins, are *swarming* to spin this as meaning something it doesn't. I don't see evidence Democrats are pushing back

Later we upgraded to 8 MB RAM and that was a big deal

There is an interesting article titled "Please Don’t Share Our Links on Mastodon: Here’s Why!" about the startling load that Mastodon's mass-distributed link preview generation has on small independent webservers. But I cannot link it to you, because of a reason

With ffmpeg there appear to be various ways to specify quality (-b, -vb, -crf) when encoding video. Is there a way to get a copy of ffmpeg on disk to tell me what its current default quality level/specification method for -vcodec libx264 is? (Or even better, to look at an existing mp4 on disk and tell me what its quality level is in terms of ffmpeg command line flags? ffmpeg -i gives me a kb/s number but I don't know what to do with that.)

Continuing to poke around with "bluesky". It keeps feeling like openness/federation was something they wanted *on paper* but never actually had as any kind of core value.
Example: In the protocol, all the resources in the bluesky network have their own URL schema. Several third party tools work with these. For example, at://did:plc:ei24m7la7nsl656y3hmnideo/app.bsky.feed.post/3kr3gjotz2k27 is a post.
You can't get these URLs from official software. bsky.app only gives you URLs within bsky.app.

Asking for a friend*: Are there any books about ECS, code patterns that work well with ECS, common pitfalls of ECS? She's thinking about the Gang of 4 book or Nystrom's "Game Programming Patterns" and wanting that but for ECS.

@npub1pfe…e2dm a depth camera is a camera. (there's the proximity sensor, but if it were using that, then it would be kept on by setting it on a table or placing it next to an object.)

@npub1pfe…e2dm Not that it matters, but I do not see anything here that makes this less of a problem from my perspective

@npub1pfe…e2dm Hopefully so!

Hey. Question.
What the fuck is this?
Is my phone doing this? If so, how long has it been doing it? Also, why wasn't I informed? Also, why can't I find a setting to turn it off?

Can mp3s (technically, never mind whether they ever actually do this) change their sample rate or number of channels partway through a file?

Basically ideally everyone would stop using Twitter except Paul Graham and Marc Andressen and then there's be no one to screenshot Paul Graham and Marc Andressen posts and post them where I'd see them

@npub1934…0q04 is it more convenient? apt. i mean

2024-04-20 04:28:16

I still don't know what "apt" is and still type "apt-get" every time. Does anyone want to try to convince me I am doing something wrong here

What do you suppose it was like to be in the room when they finished recording "Baby Got Back". Do you think all present understood the significance of what they had created. Did they know they were about to change the world

You know "Discourse"? The forum software? There's a thing that really bugs me about it, which is when you're signing up for a Discourse forum it requires email but says "your email will NOT be disclosed except to the admins". And then right after doing this, it by default uses Gravatar to grab your avatar.
So imagine there's some opsec reason you might not want to post under your real name on some forum. You create a pseudonym… and then there's your Gravatar, which in my case is my face.
