Do I know someone with experience with Mongolian fonts? Trying to get this to work for a piece of graphic design.

Wait, is a "hot minute" a long time or a short time?

@timelordiroh @BathysphereHat “Literally” still only has one, clearly defined meaning, but people will use it haphardzardly/incorrectly in order to put emphasis on an expression. not necessarily to mean the opposite.

@timelordiroh @BathysphereHat Just did and you’re right.. not its own antonym exactly but very close. Okay. I will continue to be extremely annoyed by that use 😄

The person who designed the DUNE logo (sorry, too lazy to look it up) is a genius. Too bad the e needs something extra, otherwise it would have been perfect

Any "what's wrong with Tesla" business story that doesn't mention that the CEO has taken a hard right into racist, fascist, eugenicist, conspiracy nonsense, creating a PR catastrophe that has turned everyone with a brain off the brand, while he tortures his vanity social media site like a child pulling the wings off a fly because he can, is just whitewashing for the sociopath.

It's not China. It's not "the market." It's all Elon.

@bedast @fraying that’s too much credit. Don’t forget we was born into a blood diamond fortune family.

no dear tech giants, an alternative to "yes" isn't "later"

it's "no"

@rail_ Similar with those cookie consent banners that keep popping up when you clicked “no to all” previously, because it doesn’t save that choice until you say yes to all.

@Sjors@mastodon.online avatar

@rail_ @dflxh My health insurance does this, my bank as well. To be more precise, I say yes to functional cookies but no to everything else. They can remember.

So uh. Where does one go for email when you don't wanna go to Google, you don't wanna pay a shitload of money for simple email, and you want the least bit of your data being sold and ads and shitty tracking and such. Also I have to be able to use third-party clients (which, ironically, Google is making increasingly harder).

I feel like I asked this before but I can't seem to find it.

@Tijn @amberage doxxing = you mean post your home address on it? You don’t need to host a website to use a domain + associated email.

Best superpower? You can travel to other realms and back! Select which set of destinations you can access.

A: Niflheim, The Fade, Outworld
B: Hades, Astral Plane, Hot Dog Finger Universe
C: The Nether, Lumpy Space, The Upside Down
D: Limbo, The Sacred Realm, Froopyland

@Nifflas Takes me too long to consider where each is from, so I’m going by sound alone. That way A takes the cake,

It has been really exciting to finally share Puzzmo with the world! There's so much careful design inside it that I felt would be difficult to understand at the outset, so as part of this sharing process, I wrote a manifesto —

@Sjors@mastodon.online avatar

@helvetica yes. I’ve often fantasised about good newspaper games, possibly even incorporating current events. But even without, it’s a good step.

Best superpower? You get $8,000,000! Yay! But, for 24 hours, a very detailed (32 megapixel resolution) image of your face will appear, covering the entire visible side of the moon. It's easily seen both in the moon's shadow and sunlight. There will be no known explanation for this phenomenon.

Sjors,
@Sjors@mastodon.online avatar

@Nifflas nope, thanks. People don’t deal well with unexplained phenomena. calling it now, this will start the apocalypse 🌚

Best superpower? You get $300, but for one year you have to live by this rule.

Pick one movie to watch. After that, you can only watch movies named or referenced in that movie (parody scenes count too). It's recursive, so if those movies mention other movies, you can watch them too.

If you break the rule by watching more than 5 minutes of a disallowed movie, you lose $300.

Sjors,
@Sjors@mastodon.online avatar

@Nifflas @brezelradar @scubbo no matter how recursive it is - you can only go back in time

Best superpower? You invent a new kind of food. It's one of the world's most delicious food if eaten during the full moon, plus a bit of safety margin. However, if eaten at any other time it causes horrific pain for 24 hours (it doesn't injure the person tho)

Share the recipe with the world?

Sjors,
@Sjors@mastodon.online avatar

@Nifflas q: does the food still taste equally good?

The coming winter is gonna be an extremely tough one for me.

This far north, during the darkest part of winter, we only get a few hours of light per day, tops. So during summer, we're desperate to get all the sun and light we can get.

This has been one of the rainiest summers I can remember, and now it's getting cold too. Without having recharged properly, this winter will be brutal mentally.

Invite me to live in a warmer place with more sun for a while. Please? I'll make games!

Sjors,
@Sjors@mastodon.online avatar

@Nifflas I can’t invite you to a warmer place, but I can recommend just going! I spent the winter in Mexico and it was SO much better than the winter before (which housed my biggest mental breakdown). South of Europe also works - I believe in you, Niklas!

I get it, Margot Robbie is beautiful and funny and one of the most popular actors around… but she does not look like Barbie. Nor does Ryan Gosling look like Ken. Such a shame, could have been a great chance for some new and upcoming actors.

A common argument I come across when talking about ethics in AI is that it's just a tool, and like any tool it can be used for good or for evil. One familiar declaration is this one: "It's really no different from a hammer". I was compelled to make a poster to address these claims. Steal it, share it, print it and use it where you see fit.

@axbom Regardless of AI, there is no such thing as a “neutral tool”. Everything tool is designed with a purpose and has political, cultural and environmental context.
