Yes, yes, most wise indeed

Epstein list

Really putting the “ass” in comparison there. Also, if a person say… wrote a best selling beloved children’s book series, but then heel-turned into a piece of shit, it absolutely does ruin their entire body of work for a lot of people.

Like, this happens, what is the comic even talking about?

Ive never seen these before and I’m enthralled! The music and visual style reminds me a lot of Cruelty Squad. Is there an accepted name for this “genre”? It’s almost like pre-AI slop but with a pedal-to-the-floor surrealism that elevates it tremendously.

It gets worse actually. You can define a number system using any power of 2 amount of i-like units in a similar relationship to quaternions using the Cayley-Dickson construction

Fascinatingly, you lose some property of the algebra at each step. Quaternions aren’t commutative: ABC != CBA. Octonians aren’t associative: (AB)C != A(BC). Once you get into 16 i’s with subscripts, it really gets crazy.

(Also, I just got the joke. Damnit @[email protected] your serious answer threw me off!)

The GBA SP really was a great portable. I carried my black\silver “executive” model everywhere and felt cool as shit at the time.

Those PS2 ads though, holy shit, what was Sony smoking back then?

For all the sudden word scholars here: there is no second word “master” that’s spelled, pronounced, and written exactly the same as the other one but is entirely unrelated to the concept of master\slave. All modern meanings of the word master derive from the same root: magister, meaning an authority or teacher.

A “master recording” is the authority, the base copy from which all others are duplicated. They aren’t called “slave” copies, although the primary use of the terms in computing did originally use those 2 words. Also as someone else pointed out, you don’t even really make copies of git branches in the same way as audio so the term is misapplied.

Main is also a bad name, unless you’re working on a solo project with only 1 main branch and some features. As soon as you start collaborating with other people, you should really have individual dev branches or “forks” (be honest, 90% of you aren’t rawdogging git straight from the CLI, there’s a forge website involved as hub) to work on, with an integration\testing “fork”\branch to combine work and a release branch for final code, with each discrete release tagged.

No gods, no kings, no masters!

No one commits to trunk anymore…

People are ragging on the AI art, but the message is also bland pseudo-mystic instagram-motivational word spew. Many religions and philosophies teach things like this, but even real quotes are reduced to pithy candy aphorisms when taken out of context like this.

Like it definitely is trying to riff on the genre of Zen Pencils.

And funny enough, that Thoreau quote is more in line with global views on happiness: the pursuit of it is in some ways the root of it’s nonexistence. When we focus on making a better and simpler world for all, happiness often follows.

How can sole maintainers work with multi-billion corporations without being taken advantage of?

They can’t, thats why GPL is noncommercial. Capitalism is an exploitative system that relies on power imbalance. As soon as MS reached out, he should have made it clear they can’t even look at his code for ideas without a contract and payment. He shouldn’t have told them anything else without a contract. Papers with legal claims on them are the only language business speaks.

“Aid seekers” is a damn strange way to spell “starving children”

I’m not sure if I should bring up the homeless vets with PTSD who’d love someone to talk to, for hire or not, qualified or not; or if I should make light of asking my own friend for hire about coping with the depression and anxiety of living in a world that the ultrawealthy have immiserated for their wealth.

The rich are worried about people hating them for being rich while everyone else is burning out from the stress of coping with living in situations that are literally depressing.

Maybe people don’t need to feel better about it? Maybe the rich should be afraid and feel like shit? Maybe the poor should be angry and upset? Maybe people on the internet use humor to cope with difficult situations and being a wokescold finger-wagger about it is counterproductive?
