Gauging interest before negotiating order sizes?

Oh Bloodborne instead of Dark Souls but I love both.

Hey Spelunky is new oh wait let's not talk about that. Your list essentially same as mine though would swap Morrowind in for Spelunky 😅

Maybe we can get an article about James Carrville as well?

Getting to play as literal soy boys

Yeah, the correct action seems to be make them fire you. Resigning just let's them get to doing the unethical action sooner.

Yeah, surprises me that you can get a third of responders to say completely stop immigration enforcement.

Wtf is Corn Flour? I see masa and corn meal on store shelves but never corn flour 😂

Yeah, was quite disappointed when I tried it 😔

I miss the magazine racks.

I think you mean he's now bound to be a two time winner of the FIFA Peace Prize!

It's just seeking to cool itself down better.

All while posting on X

Even worse unless you really like walking. As someone who likes walking I've enjoyed it the times I've been there for interviews but.... you really need a car.

Yeah, good marketing for hiring as well.

Also hah I see AI as well, as you noticed, so probably based on that as well. 😅

These are composite pictures of a bunch of flash pops that's why it feels so weird as the picture is literally lit differently throughout the picture. It's a popular technique for expensive real estate as it makes pictures pop in ethereal manner.

Calvin and Hobbes where Calvin in the future expects his past self to have some his homework who went to the future expecting to retrieve it already done.

The political effects of X's feed algorithm https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-026-10098-2 Received: 16 December 2024 Accepted: 4 January 2026 Published online: 18 February 2026 Open access • Check for updates Germain Gauthier,5, Roland Hodler?5, Philine Widmer35 & Ekaterina Zhuravskaya3,4,5 m Feed algorithms are widely suspected to influence political attitudes. However, previous evidence from switching off the algorithm on Meta platforms found no political effects'. Here we present results from a 2023 field experiment on Elon Musk's platform X shedding light on this puzzle. We assigned active US-based users randomly to either an algorithmic or a chronological feed for 7 weeks, measuring political attitudes and online behaviour. Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine. In contrast, switching from the algorithmic to the chronological feed had no comparable effects. Neither switching the algorithm on nor switching it off significantly affected affective polarization or self-reported partisanship. To investigate the mechanism, we analysed users' feed content and behaviour. We found that the algorithm promotes conservative content and demotes posts by traditional media. Exposure to algorithmic content leads users to follow conservative political activist accounts, which they continue to follow even after switching off the algorithm, helping explain the asymmetry in effects. These results suggest that initial exposure to X's algorithm has persistent effects on users' current political attitudes and account-following behaviour, even in the absence of a detectable effect on partisanship.

A new paper shows that less than 2 months of exposure to Twitter’s algorithmic feed significantly shifts people’s political views to the right.

Moving from chronological feed to the algorithmic feed also increases engagement.

This is one of the most concerning papers I’ve read in awhile.

I mean I feel like I always have waited ten to twenty seconds on an webpages to load for the past thirty years 😅

Yeah, nothing like saving a Word Document as HTML with ten thousand tables for pixel perfect positioning.

VR sounds a fair comparison and I've never understood people comparing it to NFTs as AI always had obvious uses whereas well uh NFT was do things worst in general than other methods.

You had me in the first half 😂

I mean we all know it was Tribes!

Even more fun in multiplayer systems!

Same problem with all software development jobs. It doesn't replace senior and up developers but juniors yeah I can get Claude doing what they normally would be doing faster and easier. Worried about the future knowledge lack

Heh still have a 512 person license for Teamspeak that technically is running in a docker container to keep it active

Shit posts age well with fine tall boys!

I don't miss browsing on IE3 inside of windows 3.1 on a 486.

Thank you for the correction 🤣
