I finally installed ios 26 because of the DarkSword hack. I’m so pissed about how this looks immediately that I’m going to post what I hate to this thread. I’m going to be very rude because I’m in a bad mood and I’m starting to Hate Designers (speaking as a former) all right first of all, something’s wrong with the way the keyboard works; it pops up the letter above in a way I can’t quite put my finger on but it looks like shit npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ hey #mac folks: I bought an M3 macbook pro last year. I’m still on the most recent OS version before liquid glass (I don’t care about their names anymore, and don’t want to “upgrade”) Periodically, there is system-wide typing lag. Like… many seconds where I can move the cursor and click on stuff, but typing specifically just hangs and won’t input. Sometimes it all appears; usually whatever I typed is lost. I don’t think I have anything installed like TextExpander that watches input. wtf??? npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ okay the thing is we don’t need the tsa. we don’t need ice. we don’t need any of this because the crimes they are alleged to prevent are so rare as to be nonexistent there are no immigrants that need deporting. nobody is trying to hijack planes. it’s statistically zero. fund support, not paranoia npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ hey here’s a genuine curiosity: if watching the new Dune movies was your first encounter with the story, and you enjoyed them, did it lead to you reading the book? doesn’t matter if you finished it or not, liked it or not. I just wondered if there’s a movie-to-book pipeline! thanks :) npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ don’t you understand? having constant LLM interruptions while you’re typing, suggestions appearing that you cannot help but read and try to parse IS LITERALLY INTERRUPTING YOUR EVERY THOUGHT and shaping the outcome whether you “accept” it or not you cannot think clearly you are becoming less You npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ refusing to take sides in a conflict between obvious Help and Harm doesn’t make you a clever boy it makes you a coward npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…d0yj sounds like some version of that MIGHT be possible…! I’m still at the very beginning with Godot, but I kind of love that it even permits us to think about modifying the editor itself like this npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ I really like Terry’s work!!

I like Emma Harner’s work elsewhere. this was like, the 4th song I learned to play on drums way back, alongside Weird Fishes (for a friend who played guitar to practice with) (not saying I did a GREAT job, but it was fun learning the tricky rhythm) npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ it remains Bad how soon one has to go to work again, having just been at work npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ a gun is a tool for the weak to feel strong “ai” is a tool for the ignorant to feel smart both are beloved by cowards who steal power and life from others npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ Not one single bad thing will happen if we dismantle ICE and release everyone they’re holding in camps, and return the people they illegally deported. But they’re going to keep causing harm to people every second they exist. There is. No. Justification. For ICE. Unless. You are. A violent racist 🤷♀️ npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ anime is funny because if you’ve never seen the show, a picture of the guy is just like. ”okay cool that’s a drawing.” but if you have seen the show, the exact same drawing will make you froth at the mouth and scream your allegiance over 30k words npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…2uyx it’s so absurd!!! npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…4mel I really loved the artistic icons for their own sake. Nobody on earth thought, “well what the heck does this distinctly-shaped and painted pen and ink mean???” whereas every single indistinct squirclet today makes me puzzle constantly when I’m trying to quickly switch apps. app icons don’t require simplicity. they should be memorable and quick to identify at a glance!!! npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ i feel so powerless and small these days. i feel driven to make games, because i know i am capable of innovating even if it never makes me money. and i feel even more driven to make the case for some of my favorite works of art. particularly mark danielewski’s lesser-appreciated works is it actually important? i do think so. because powerful art changes us, helps us grow. mark’s work is some of the best writing in English; it just so happens to also be a little hard to get into as a result npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ are there any games for iphone that are like “A Dark Room” that aren’t scary / horror themed? if not, why not? this game rules but it’s too creepy for bedtime, which is the only time I want to play this kind of thing npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…mssx Thanks! I’ll have to listen to the whole thing when I get home later. But I also like trance-type music, and this immediately has enough minor variation and shifting motifs that it hits the sweet spot! thanks so much for sharing your enjoyment 😄 npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…mssx I don’t think I’ve ever heard this? Listening now, and it’s really beautiful!

Not Pathfinder, please; I already know about it! 🙂 Basically wondering if there’s a fun game mostly about fighting that works well in a video call, without having tooooo many complex rules. There’s been so much interesting work in the narrative-forward space! But I haven’t heard of something approachable that still has mechanical combat heft npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ entry-level positions should also pay livable wages! or else you’ll only hire people who are desperate or privileged all workers deserve fair pay, even if they’re new to the field npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ something grant me literally any serenity npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ lotta things giving me nightmares these days npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND BETWEEN RESPECTING LABOR OR DESTROYING IT https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/surely-theres-a-middle-ground-here-helldivers-studio-ceo-says-people-jump-to-extreme-takes-when-debating-genai/ npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ i just got mad again about James Cameron saying it was a problem that the 3d artists who create *the entirety of the Avatar movies* “COST TOO MUCH” this motherfucker, obsessed with making a digital world should be PAYING HIS ARTISTS AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE!!! the Ungratefully Wealthy lose humanity npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ I’m trying to build myself up. This isn’t bragging; I’m trying to honestly assess my skills and then assert that I am valuable, despite never being paid what I know I’m worth. A few years ago I shipped a Playdate game with Zero Bugs. The only 3 reported errors occurred after platform changes. I am the fastest and most-knowledgeable CSS person I’ve ever worked with. By a long shot. I love collaborating & building others up. Hire me, please! npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ idk maybe the constant churn of media prevents connection over shared experiences as we all fall deeper into self-selecting holes npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…d0vd it REALLY can be.

I JUST read it a month or so ago, but unfortunately I was reading parts of like 8 of his books. As one does. I thought it was in the Selected Letters, but nope. Searched the ebook. I can find numerous pieces that quote him, but always excerpted and never cited. Anybody know? Thanks! npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ nobody asked, but the ps5 is legitimately my favorite console of all time. the only way it could be better would be if it had more old games available. the ongoing work put into its interface and stability speaks to a mature product from an experienced and thoughtful team! npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ looking at the costumed protests in portland: “wow kojima really predicted using humorous animal outfits against paramilitaries” https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/357/243/192/794/880/original/6bcc3e57a742b893.jpeg npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ if you think sports betting is bad, wait’ll you learn about the stock market npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ i should stop posting, apparently I woke up with cruelty and bitterness in my heart npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ total conversion mod of shadow of the colossus, wherein you play a little virus taking down celebrities, and eventually realize you are covid npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ it feels so bad to see a “toy” that costs this much. but the more I think about it, I think action figures and movie tickets might be the most obvious way to index the value of the dollar. purely optional things that people will still pay for, to feel a smidgen of happiness. anyway, USD is fucked https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/115/344/748/317/088/189/original/d68504d7ba34d7a1.jpeg npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ i maintain that a significant number of react apps would actually be better as kirby cms sites, maybe augmented with some js for data fetching and interactions but people hate php, and would rather write an excruciating amount of react code but then people always remark on how fast my portfolio site loads :] npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ it’s so stupid that republicans repeatedly broke our collective institutions for decades just so they could say, “see?? this government is BROKEN, and we’re gonna FIX IT,” and the people whose educations they destroyed can absolutely tell things are bad, but not WHY, so it fucking worked npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ quietly asking for fewer things to go wrong for me and the people around me npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ I am learning how to use Godot’s multiplayer for a little experiment, and: it’s neat!!

Everybody KNOWS the government is lying constantly, waging wars that don’t make sense, making life harder and harder. But the fear and hate is stoked on purpose, to deflect from the powerful. And because so many have no community, but lots of individualized media, there’s no cohesion, and no opportunity to see the Other. It really sucks to live here; every friend group I’ve had gets blown up when people move for work! npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…39ss ah! for whatever it’s worth, I hope for your safety and health in both regards npub1mqmfgfhcu97vsaukc4wdlazcm7x4c24nrp68ql0n8xnll526aa9s8n2cn5 nina splendorr 🌻🏳️⚧️ @nprofile…xulc IT REALLY WORKS!!! when I realized that was the play, I was briefly skeptical but dang, they’re both great!
