What I'm saying is that IQ tests specifically contain questions on esoteric matters that either don't matter or can't be accessed below a certain income.
More exposure to upper middle-class culture increases ones ability to take IQ tests.

Do you have a Ko-fi? 'cause I would really enjoy that screensaver.

I adore this project on its own merits too because using the memory values in an emulated game is something that has fascinated me since Twitch Plays Pokémon integrated their Twitch display!

No worries, mate! When the popular narrative is "you can run Doom on a pregnancy test" your blind spot tracks.

By the bye, I know Foone hates their threads being posted here, so I won't, but I absolutely adore their hardware and software finagling. It's also made me a better developer!

This is incredibly constructive feedback!

When working on projects that meld digital and physical realities, ergonomics and aesthetics become a hyperfocus and observations like this are vital for course correcting.

I have a hammer and am looking for a nail, but every day something sparks Marshall McLuhan ringing in my head.

The medium truly is the massage. The physical form in which information is being delivered (screen with notch) is beginning to work us over on a concept as old as the terminal.

Yeah, Yakuake; TotalTerminal; and others kept the Quake terminal flame alive, but now that game UI choice interacts with physical reality!

Which reinforces my spicy take...

Spicy take: Skeumorphism is a necessary and probably effective guard rail against tech usage unmooring us from physical reality.

Plus, this augmented reality take on the concept is taking that idea to at least eight strange new places.

Thankfully you don't see an artistic representation of a 3.5 floppy representing an app's "save" function yes-and-ing people into messiah complexes and public mental breakdowns.

All that being said, I am giving this a spin when my work laptop arrives! (Worst case I use the, mostly(?), iTerm2 functional equivalent because that worked pretty well for my needs when I set it up many moons ago.)

Thank you for providing this exhaustive and necessary context.

Do you have a use case you'd prefer they put their resources into implementing?
And that long term perspective could be used constructively instead!

It is depressing that I had this same argument in college a decade ago and people are still so cavalier about not optimizing their code.

I got stuck on consistently detecting syllable stress when I tried to write a similar tool, so I'm really interested too.

I think we would be far better off as a society if we chose a better civil rights backstop than a gaggle of genociders and pedophiles.

The Overton window has actively been moved towards fascism, not the other way around.

Can you provide examples of baseline 2010 liberal that's now considered right wing?

Re:Man sues American Airlines over identification, jail time on Wednesday June 08, 2022 @02:27AM (#31664006)
You really believe those are good priorities for pro-bono legal representation when they can just as easily defend individuals and organizations that aren't actively promoting genocide and/or pedophilia?
Re:Man sues American Airlines over identification, jail time on Wednesday June 08, 2022 @02:22AM (#31663971)
Prolly a good call not to use a quote about Nazi atrocities and how they can't be given an inch to defend the notion that Nazis should be given pro-bono legal defense.
