The Snark Urge

An “avalanche” of… Videos with 6 second segments of weird B roll. Okay scary headline, I see you.

Yep. Cool chart

Omw to add too much butter and sugar and a little cornstarch to recreate the levain style cookie

M-DISC, at a guess. The media would last long enough at least for grandkids, who will have bigger things to worry about.

For once I’m #1 in something 🥳

I feel profoundly incomplete, and always will, until I’ve put my life’s work and entire reputation on the line over an obscure academic point, on which I have violently disagreed with others in the field. Step one, find something I care about that much.

Oh… God damn it, my entire worldview of who sucks and who is cool has big red arrows pointing at where I ended up.

I admit I was only thinking about the output of our largest firms. There’s room for that, and I could easily be persuaded that the strength and duration of IP law should be inversely proportional to the size of the IP holder itself. And especially whether it is held by the sole creator, or collectively by private interests. People should own what they personally made, as much as possible under the circumstances.

SFX cue: Wilhelm scream as I am slain by my bad opinion

Yeah nah, bad e.g. but I’m not convinced 5 years is too short.

Ergotamine set of puns there, amanita minute to catch up.

Honestly with the current pace of cultural output we’re at, even 5 years feels generous. What was made in 2019 that still seems terribly relevant… Is there still a brisk trade in Frozen II merch I’m not aware of?

They should give the robot suction cup feet so it can walk on my-ceiling-um. Myceli- er, nevermind.

What do young idiots use?

I have no tech background, and I am just getting into creating a media server. I started with an old secondhand Synology NAS, which developed a power issue within a month and no chance of returning it or getting it covered by warranty.

My current plan is to get another Synology NAS (new with extended warranty this time), along with a spare HDD enclosure so I can have an extra layer of redundancy, finally set up Jellyfin, and then I want to build a Pihole. At that point I won’t need much more self hosting or networking tricks until further notice.

Still have no idea what I’m doing.

Same, I’m not sold on any of it. And the next generation is going to lean into LLMs, I bet. No thanks.

This feels like a copypasta from a better universe than ours

Oneiromancy is the new cyberpunk

fUcK yOu IT’S MY FUCKIN’ BABY

Can confirm.

My wife got a prenatal MRI as part of a scientific study, so I got to see my kid’s MRI face. It’s truly one of the ugliest pictures of him in existence
