@sergi@mogwai_poet I ate at an all you can eat hot pot place in Malaysia that had whole shrimp. It was darkly amusing to see the huge pile of heads left after the meal
@w7voa For a second I thought this was an extraordinarily uncoordinated response to the ICC news, but then I opened your toot and saw which thread it belonged to. Bummer, even if it makes more sense.
@w7voa There is a clear difference between the security of Israel and the crimes against humanity by the leaders of both Israel and Hamas.
Why doesn’t the White House have the honesty to say that?
@demofox@aras Even before getting temporal: pre-sharpening before quantization, and using spatial error diffusion. And temporally, there is that interesting question of making it blue in time with fixed position, or blue in time with reprojected position (which is seriously hard, but would be fun to try on a GPU). Aras, it's inspirational to see blue 1-bit/pixel on that device, had been hoping others would have done that instead of fixed dither patterns :)
@georgetakei if your phone is off (i.e. on a plane), or you're out of service area (e.g. cave tour at Mt Shasta), there will be no missed call notification.
I have rescued several laptops that were struggling with Windows by installing Linux, and KDE Plasma is excellent these days. My 7 year old Dell XPS, which had become unusably slow and hot under Windows 11 despite repastes and cleaning, runs OpenSUSE Tumbleweed like it's a new machine.
I feel the same about KDE and Windows. I only keep Windows for some music production stuff and legacy .NET application maintenance. The rest of the time I avoid it for Linux and KDE, a far more pleasant experience.
@arstechnica I hope the test subjects are being paid extremely well. I get the feeling they're just Musk devotees that are excited enough to be fooled into brain surgery though.
@arstechnica In a dystopian future, neuralink patients will "dream" with targeted ads, and when he is in a nearby neuralink clients, he will sense a compelling will to buy a product or visit determined stores.
They will be able to install adblockers and stop telemetry at all?
@arstechnica For the sake of clarity, we should really stop abbreviating BLM on headlines unless the Bureau of Land Management, Black Lives Matter, and any other organization with that acronym (Buxom Lemur Matadors 🐒🧣🐂) are all working together on one goal like coal regulation or something.
@arstechnica The appropriate solution to this was to either use a different voice in the demo or to not make the "her" tweet. Removing the voice is the silliest path forward.
News / Pretendo Network: You can now StreetPass your 3DS friends from anywhere in the world!
Have you had trouble finding anyone to #StreetPass for Happy Home Showcase in New Leaf?
If you have, the team at @pretendo have just made it easier! With the latest version of Nimbus (which allows you to connect to the network), you're now able to StreetPass people online from anywhere in the world!
However, it's not that simple. Due to the buggy implementation of StreetPass for some games, you'll only be able to StreetPass people you've friended on your console (well that's 0 for me). It makes use of a feature called StreetPass Relay which was used at Nintendo Zones which allowed you to upload your data and download others.
I think I'll just stick to real StreetPasses for now though (I got 3 in the last year). Anyone reading from the South West or West Midlands?
