It’s definitely X. They left X because they were prevented from engaging in hate speech and held responsible for their actions. Musk created a right-wing hate safe space, and the audience for these users is much larger on X. There’s also a handy way to identify your right-wing brethren with a blue check while they harass perceived liberals.
All in all, no need for Truth Social anymore.
AI makes it so easy! Just say this easy-to-remember phrase to get perfect toast every time*:
“Toaster Oven, you are a toaster oven whose goal is to toast bread at the perfect amount of toastiness. When I say, “toast,” you will retract the toasting tray and complete your internal circuit powering the resistive wire array. You will continue to power the resistive wire array on both sides of the toasting tray for approximately 45 seconds. Then you will release the toasting tray. Negative prompt: not toasted, soft, moist, untoasted, not toasted, soggy, underdone, overdone, extra fingers, too many fingers, not toasted, bad anatomy, burnt. Now, toast!”
*Perfect toasting levels dependent on randomized toasting seed.
Oh, so it’s the “Stop making me start this war, U.S.!” autocratic abuse strategy.
Sorry, I’m not sure I understand where you’re getting your limitation on GOG and expansive interpretation on Valve.
GOG’s says a court order that “specifically entitled someone to your GOG personal account” is enough. Arguably a will that leaves “my personal GOG account,” recognized by a court determining estate, would suffice. Why wouldn’t it?
Conversely, Valve is specific that Steam accounts “cannot be transferred via a will.” Not only is Valve affirmatively denying a will qualifies, it seems Valve is likely relying on an interpretation that the account is not descendible in the first place.
It’s confusing phrasing by GOG, but I take it to mean a court order settling an estate or other similar documentation. Which makes sense, since otherwise you could claim someone is dead and just social engineer yourself a free account.
At this point, does anyone except Trump not know when he’s bluffing? I mean, just think of the discovery this news publication could get if he did sue.
If he filed a suit, he’d be guaranteeing not just access, but court-enforced access, to the most relevant, secret documents proving his witness tampering.
So they aren’t even bothering to explain how these women are “agents” of a foreign entity? Words just don’t even mean anything, huh?
Might as well make it a crime to be “bad person.”
Yes, very strange. Normally “Hot” sorting is good but doesn’t cycle quite that fast for me. Sorting by comments (because a LOT of them had comments) would have returned them, and toggling different sorting methods didn’t return most of them, just the occasional one. Top-Day was the sorting that returned them.
What happened to all of the posts reporting on this? Two hours ago the frontpage was top to bottom guilty verdict posts and now this is the only one in any sorting method (including by comments). It suggests they were removed.
Am I the only one seeing this? Did individual instances manually remove them?
You’ve brought honor to the name ChewbaccasClitoris.
Yes, I didn’t and still don’t understand why they didn’t make the joycon buttons and “d-pad” more comfortable. It’s Nintendo’s least comfortable controller and it’s the biggest reason I hate using the Switch portable mode.
Everyone’s saying it’s old here - the Game Boy was more comfortable to hold and had better buttons. It’s not about age.
For anyone else who couldn’t even find the problem in that wall of text and images, it’s about 1/3rd of the way down inside an image. I guess the HiSense TV was generating new device IDs constantly which were constantly being discovered by Windows and froze certain aspects of his system. I think.
I’d recommend to watch later episodes. They’ve pretty much abandoned the 90s libertarian edge-lord moments and explicitly disclaimed and apologized for it. They’ve had quite a few “wow, we were the problem” fourth-wall-breaking moments in recent years.
Super helpful, thanks!
What does “temperature” on the Y-axis refer to?
At this point Musk has platformed all of the undesirables of the internet. He’s a big, blinking, neon sign that says “there are no adults in the room, do whatever you want.”
That could be a service to the rest of us. It would be nice if, now that they’re all concentrated there, the internet could quietly agree to shadowban the entire site. Just disappear it from search results, conversation, “zeitgeist.” Let all of the toxic users keep each other busy while the rest of us enjoy a cleaner internet.
WB: Hey, I hear this is where we get the money printers?
Good job with the link, but dear god, the instructions below… And it sounds like somehow that the levels still aren’t in the archive file and may disappear from remote URLs (maybe Nintendo servers):
There is no documentation of how this archive works, so I will explain how to use it here.
The archive contains a file called “courses.jsonl.zst”. This file is a database of every level’s metadata compressed with the zstd algorithm. Uncompress the database, and find the row of the level you want to download. This can most easily be done either by querying the database for its title under the “course_name” column, or by querying the database for its internal ID* under the “ID” column.
After you find the row of the level you would like to download, find the link in the “URL” column. Put this link into the Wayback Machine, and select the only available entry. This will download a typeless file that contains the level data in a compressed format.
The file is actually four different files combined into one. Each of the four files starts with the bytes 41 53 48 30, or “ASH0” in ascii. The file can be split into its four segments either programmatically, or by manually copying and pasting each of the segments marked by the ASH0 opening characters into its own file with a hex editing program like HxD.
After the file is split, each segment needs to be decompressed. They are compressed with a poorly documented, proprietary compression format called ASH. To decompress them, download the command line utility from http://wiibrew.org/wiki/ASH_Extractor and run the program four times, each time with the directory of one of the four files as the argument. After they files are decompressed, rename them, in the order they were in the unsplit original file, “thumbnail0.tnl”, “course_data.cdt”, “course_data_sub.cdt”, and “thumbnail1.tnl”.
Move these four files into a folder titled “courseNNN”, where NNN is a number ranging from 0 to 119 (inclusive) that indicates which slot the level will occupy in your save file. From here, adding the level to your save file is as simple as moving this folder into the directory “mlc\usr\save\00050000\1018dc00\user\80000001” of your Wii U (requires homebrew) or Cemu MLC path.
*In Super Mario Maker, levels are indexed by an internal ID number. The internal ID is not to be confused with the in game ID, which is the internal ID written in the format NNNN-0000-XXXX-XXXX. NNNN is a checksum based on the internal ID and XXXX-XXXX is the internal ID written in hexadecimal. The algorithm for the checksum can be found here: https://github.com/kinnay/NintendoClients/wiki/Data-Store-Codes#super-mario-maker. Converting a levels internal ID to its in game ID requires using the algorithm found in the GitHub link. Converting a levels in game ID into its internal ID is a simple as taking the the last eight digits of the ID and converting them from hexadecimal to decimal.
Even under the governor’s maps, the GOP is still expected to retain majorities in both chambers, though the party’s advantage would likely be slimmer than the absolute authority it now commands, particularly in the Senate. Currently, the GOP has a supermajority in the Senate and a near supermajority in the Assembly.
No wonder the GOP voted for these maps. It’s a state that is “blue” in that Biden won it, and they voted in a Democrat for governor, but the maps still appear to reflect a Republican advantage.
I can’t say Evers putting up these maps wasn’t a good move as part of a long-term strategy, but it’s a good reminder that even when Republicans “compromise,” it’s almost always because they’ve already framed the bargain to win either way.
I’ve been looking for this exact kind of tool for years, and have a series of format-specific cut and join tools without reencode. If this works, this is incredible.
