I bet if you formed an electric car company made only of people who previously worked for Tesla then quit in disgust, you could make a really good electric car company

Timelapse of the Falkirk Wheel in action; the only rotating boat lift of its kind in the world.

Timelapse video of the Falkirk Wheel, with its curved arms cradling water-filled gondolas rotating around a central axis, seamlessly raising and lowering vessels between the joining canals, all under an overcast sky that casts a soft glow on the wheel and the green landscape.

Just because something is expensive doesn't mean don't buy it. Be reckless, yolo. Fuck the system, if you're not getting out of it then buy what makes you fucking happy instead of what the jonses say you should. And stop wasting it on the same video games over and over every time they stick a new skin on it, buy used DVDs instead of streaming, and get over coffee already the annoying bitter bean water obsession is worse than the "epic bacon" thing- that will save you a TON.

Don't get a new car, don't but new clothes that will just fall apart, don't get duped by the "luxury" bullshit because its made cheaper and more flimsy than the inexpensive stuff, don't pay for apps, etc etc.

But if all that is what makes you happy like the stupid eggboy, idk what to tell you, you're just fucked six ways from sunday and nothing will ever get better for you in any meaningful way.

But no matter what you do, give anybody overpricing stuff shit about it. Like, actively and often. They'll lower the prices pretty quickly. You're preaching to the choir with retail employees and chatter does go up the vine so make sure you let everyone know you're pissed iff about paying eight bucks for the small bottle of shampoo and how anything more than $5 for a consumable is a fucking ripoff.

@256 these are cool!! A lot of the better known DVD camcorders are from the late 2000s, but these early ones are FASCINATING!! I love them, and getting a smattering of them to play with is on my list right after i get my first good shooting day for my Sony Mavica CD1000, the miniCDr photography camera. Love to see it!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

The Roman empire fell because their Roman numerals weren't a form of positional notation, so they couldn't figure out binary. Their computers were terrible.

@foone this is also what happened to the roman planet in Star Trek TOS and why they were eventually colonized by the Chicago gangster planet.

Last night I opened up YT in a private window, & clicked on an unrelated video to that of the one I had just watched. It was a video on arctic ice melts that turned out to be 100% denialist.

One click & there I was in endless fetid scroll of Jordan Peterson, climate change denial, 'what is woke' explainers, 'lol snowflakes' shorts, Trump propaganda, knife fights, & misogynistic, racist garbage.

Don't tell me Big Tech aren't culpable for the hate out there. They're farming it, on a vast scale.

SnepperStepper,
@SnepperStepper@mastodon.social avatar

@JulianOliver big tech is extremely part of the authoritarian problem. And its not just the social pipelines, but the constant forcing of its products on everyone as the only way to do things, destroying alternatives by pointing and yelling "obsolete", and perpetual cost inflation. If you look around at the reality of modern technology and understand why life is so broken you begin to realize they nazis aren't coming, they're already here and wearing faux silver and plastic carbon fiber.

Every time I hear about another group trying to reverse engineer a now dead or killed Nintendo infrastructure system, I want to ask them to remember to take a selfie with the judge for me

SnepperStepper,
@SnepperStepper@mastodon.social avatar

@textfiles tbf if nintendo didn't want anyone to revive them, then they shouldn't kill them in the first place. The smart move would be to note the developers and outsource server maintenance to them for the remaining playerbase, like how dead MMOs get passed around and maintained, where nintendo pays the host a vastly reduced-from-new server bill. The publicity & goodwill alone is worth the cost.

Same for legacy console developing vs romhackers tbh.

@gsuberland i don't get the joke. I also don't know who that is. And i'm pretty sure the line is "friday night i crashed your party, saturday i said i'm sorry, sunday came and trashed me out again"...or maybe i'm thinking of "3 Strange Days" by School of Fish.
Anyways, I'd rather strive to be somebody they talk about like they talk about everything in the 50 years on documentary at the end of Casablanca the 1992 home video release.

vga256, to Nintendo
@vga256@dialup.cafe avatar

it's 1992 and you've spent the past year lobbying your folks to buy you a Super Nintendo to replace your aging NES. finally, christmas arrives and you find a box wide enough to wrap your arms around under the tree along with a second small package surely containing a cartridge.

you tear it open and find a ... Super Nin.. men.. Megason?

but ah - it sure looks like a super nintendo. maybe it's just a clever clone!

yet, it resists all attempts to insert that shiny new Super Metroid cartridge your parents got you.

to your horror, your sibling pulls out your old copy of Bayou Billy and inserts it easily. you have just received a new NES clone shaped in the form of a super famicom.

i guarantee this happened to some kid out there, and i weep for them

Did you know that house flipping is nazi praxis? Yeah, these hooded white men who look like thumbs show up in poor and usually colored communities, buy up all the land for cheap (sometimes just take it), and gentrify it out of the price range the community can afford thereby uprooting them violently with noplace to go they can afford, and then draining all the life out of the homes by making repressive, oppressive, boring monochrome dumps to sell to other white people.

SnepperStepper,
@SnepperStepper@mastodon.social avatar

And those houses always give you that weird gut feeling when you see them because they're almost intentionally trying to not draw your eye (as a nazi would do when in non-nazi company) and like nobody lives there.

@actuallyautistic
I think I read once that can also show in an aversion of accepting gifts or favors. Do you know any ressource on that?

It came to my mind that I often don't like being invited. Like recently a colleague wanted outof nothing to pay for my coffee. And instead of saying thanks I make it complicated.

SnepperStepper,
@SnepperStepper@mastodon.social avatar

@Dr_Obvious @actuallyautistic they're really going to have to start not abbrevating everything. The only "PDA"s i know are "Personal Digital Assistant"s and "Public Displays of Affection". They keep making the same letters stand for different things every couple weeks and i can't keep up. How is this supposed to help anyone's mental health when its stressy as hell to keep up with what the hell they call what i am at any given time??

I took some pseudo-selfies with my Sony Mavica FD5 from 1997, which saves jpegs on a floppy disk. Amazingly, this is the high quality mode!

SnepperStepper,
@SnepperStepper@mastodon.social avatar

@foone here's a selfie with mine. I think it kinda looks like one of those press photos when they're at a red carpet premiere (or leading someone out of court i suppose), but not the one that gets published. I like the "dslr" style mavica model better but this was before i was using that one regularly. This was taken in the lowest quality mode because i like that digicam crunch. Still a lot clearer than you'd think. Have you gotten to play with the CD models yet?

SnepperStepper,
@SnepperStepper@mastodon.social avatar

@foone i'd probably say the same about the CD point and shoots but the cd1000 is a great camera, the reload system of physical media with the vibe of contemporary digicams like the cybershot and camedia. Its the best of both worlds imo, and has that big DSLR holdfeel with the good settings to play with. Its also the closest i'm gonna bother getting to DVD camcorders.

As far as I can tell, the primary non-spam uses for ai are:

-making cover letters that shouldn't exist
-making unnecessary hyper specific article art for random online articles

So if you don't need to do it, ai can do it, apparently. Good stuff

@SirTapTap since when is false information and "doctors hate him! Use this one weird trick discovered by a construction worker to have more fruitbats eat marshmallows from your hair in 90 days or your money back (not clickbait)" not spam?
