Something something I’m a navy seals with 100 tours of duty something

They did, then Britain came along and pulled a deepseek on them :)

I didn’t know That’s so Clover, looks super interesting, will definitely go into my wishlist!

My dad has Happy Salmon, which would be a fun game to bring as well, but he’s living some 900km away nowadays

So did I, but then there’s OP’s post, which made me think this isn’t universal

The kids are very small, ~3yo, so they won’t play, but the parents are 27+ 😆

Write whole 100TB of 0s and 1s into clay tablets. I might need some help with logistics

Modding a PS1 requires some soldering skill, but it’s relatively easy. Depending where you’re from and where/when you got your PS1, it’s likely already modded, so if you have a blank CD to burn a game, you can test it straight away.

For PS2, FreeMCBoot will let you run games from a USB pendrive, installed HDD or from ethernet cable and requires zero actual hardware modding, you just need to boot the console with the proper memory card inserted. You’ll either need to buy a FreeMCboot card, which should be easy and cheap to find (aliexpress has plenty), or get an adapter to connect to a PC and do it yourself.

Or FreeMCBoot + a USB pendrive.

“Then just buy it from them! See if I care!” - the shop owner, probably

Grab a working, modded PSX (probably easier to find than unmodded), buy tubes of blank cds, go wild

gimp 3.0 still at release candidate, tho. Isn’t that like advanced beta?

It’s stuff like this that makes me amazed at how advanced Brazil is in some regards (or how backwards USA is). We can, from the comfort of a banking app (that can make instant money transfers to any other bank, free of charge), set up automatic payment of utilities like phone, electricity and water, no extra bank bullshit hidden charges applied.

Every toilet clogs and overflows the water

False, they’d just blame immigrants and China

I’d pull a xkcd, we’d have 13 months every year because it’s a prime number, but the amount of days per month would be powers of two for the first 7 (also prime!) = 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128; after that, apply some weird math with the current year in order to distribute the remaining 110 days among the 6 months but such that they all end with an odd number of days. Every month would have 2 weeks, made of half the month’s days + 1.

Gonna bring Dixit and Blokus to a kid’s party this saturday. Next week my purchase of Azul Summer Pavillion should arrive, making it a trio of games to “bring to places and get people hooked”

It’s always fun to make people realize just how much variety boardgames have. Now I just need to find or create a gaming group for friday game nights, since I’ve got enough stuff to keep a group busy for a few months

I remember this thing being “kinda big” in Brazil around the mid-late 2010s because of a TV show that did a tournament with kids. Then it thankfully died out.

Anyway, according to the article, the only reason this took off is because mr Fox, ex professional clown, was good at hyping up and teaching the thing to kids, once he became a PE teacher:

If you skimmed over that clunky [rule explanation] paragraph, you’ve proved my dad’s foundational epiphany: You really need to see it to buy in.

I’ve seen cup stacking in action. Yes, lots of speed and dexterity, but it’s as “fun” as watching people solve rubik cubes, in my opinion.

Copying some stuff from their wordpress site:

A fungus web-service …

• answers user requests and knowledge inserts over the social web
• writes and reads data from the semantic web to collaborate with other fungi agents (this would ideally done with decentralized technology like solid pods, or other knowledge graphs, e.g. like wikidata.org or an own Jena Fuseki server)
• develops a shared AI model (which is also written to the semantic web) based on decentralized federated learning (which would ideally be based on something like FlowerAi, but isn’t at the moment)
• Can be accessed via the browser to answer requests and link to the other fungi it is connected to (which can be browsed through this)
• implements a user-fungus symbioses-policy, which ensures the overall health of the web and humanity

I’ll be honest, I personally see zero value in having an AI bot running here. I’d also poison rather than help AIs as much as I can.

One can imagine this project as a decentralized huggingface, which (spoiler alert), could also enshittify.

At least they’re honest.

How do you study when your entire body is urging you to bang your head to the tune?

My outsider perspective has always been that the usa democratic party was simply about keeping the masses “happy”, with the entire emphasis on the quotation marks, giving juuuust enough leeway on something while doing everything the corporate overlords demanded
