@crashdoom #1 and #4 i am entirely for. regarding ai, i think that using a fully local model is a great idea, but as @jackemled points out, bias is something that ai models tend to pick up very easily from training data, so that's something to be wary about. hopefully using only training data from this network's spam reports and voluntary non-spam data should produce accurate results, but i'd still be especially cautious. i have some faith that it could work, though, and would be happy to be part of the non-spam training data if you decide to go that route.

If you're ever uncertain how bad people are at media literacy, ponder for a moment the number of people that accused Rage Against the Machine of going "woke" in recent years.

The "what, did you think The Machine was a printer?" phenomenon is very real.

@soatok to be fair, i rage against printers often

favorite kind of interaction

A meme, DM with Apple support. "To let you know it will cost you $250.11 to repair your AirPods" "So more expensive then just buying a new pair?" "In this case we normally advise custom to go to http://apple.com/store and purchase a pair" "Ok is there a reason why the repair is more expensive than the product?" "I have no clue."

A couple weeks ago I attempted to port Doom to the . It's playable but the controls could use some work (right now it has autorun on and dpad-only movement, I could probably do better by using the crank for turning, etc) but it does work and on real hardware too (not too well though, if you do try it on hardware I'd turn detail level to low)

If you want to try it out you can download the zipped pdx and see the source here: https://github.com/spazzylemons/playdate-doom/releases/tag/v1

after getting this to work I've been inspired to try to make my own 2.5d engine for the system, and I'm pretty proud of what I've built so far

@mcc fun fact, the game actually saves the position where you lost the hat but never uses it, meaning that maybe at one point in the game's development you'd have to find the exact spot the hat went off to instead of just going to an npc to pick it up. so it could've been worse
