Still listening through the #whartsonhall Uncle Ugly's Underground run, and there's heaps that I hadn't remembered.

Everyone in the party triggering a triple crossbow bolt trap while pulling on a rope.

Mark's character is lucky enough to not get hit. @RogerBW's dodges to the side. All three bolts go straight into Amelia's dwarf.

'oh, wait, how tall are you?'
'I'm a dwarf'
'so, the bolts are about head height..'

Good morning folks

I've managed to get [other redacted] project to a working point and this is where it's like 'ok, so now you can go get some data and *gestures at the whole horizon* that's your scope~!' and if history holds correct, I don't go back and actually turn the code into anything beyond janky shit

👐 Welcome to Mastodon, we totally promised you that you can run your own server but want you to be on one of the bigger servers and not just because we (the server owners) can read your direct messages, honest~! 👐

'Run your own server! Take back power over your posts and your data a- actually, wait, no, fuck you and your single user instance, we don't want you on our network.'

That hilarious^ property of Mastodon/The Fediverse, which was sold to everyone as 'and anyone could run a server, EVEN YOU', but then the reality that if you DO run your own server, quite a fair number of the larger instances will flat fucking block you for that.

^ - not hilarious

*rubs bridge of nose* Listen, just... someone pay me half a million dollars and I'll make the weird lewd software, ok?

Who wants to see a food warcrime? (inc meat)

Good morning folks

Gypsy is watching the D&D movie, so I glanced at the first twenty mins or so.

It's not bad, but it's not compelling, either.

@HauntedOwlbear ahem.

Over here, because 'it's a cartoon, so, kids' section', art would have Urutsikodoji: Legend of Overfiend in the kids section...

But... **gestures at the rotting corpse of the internet-that-was** I guess if we can't be fucked saving the early internet - when we live in an age when it's very feasible to do so, we're not gonna care about other shit either

I know LLMs are contentious (and I'm not gonna have those discussions), but they're also a field that is spinning up - and wiping out models due to storage quotas means we're gonna lose chunks of history as we do it.

Once again:
* Shoutout to the people saving webcomics
* Shoutout to the people keeping video files
* Shoutout to the folks who have copies of stuff they fuckin' paid for
* Shoutout to the folks control-s'ing the funny pictures they see on the net

... because everything will, at some point, get rug-pulled and be gone

Alright, I've got... well, a working basic prototype for the other [Redacted] revival project?

Gonna need a name for this one, I guess.

Keep fucking copies of your stuff.

Keep fucking copies of things that cross your screen.

Download your music
Save those short stories you see
If you've bought ebooks, get copies for your own hard drive
Save those joke images

... oh, and did I mention that JDownloader saves stuff off Youtube? Funny, maybe I did, maybe I didn't.

Anyway, back on the earlier thing(tm), I know archive.org exists, and bless 'em for the work they do, but that shouldn't be an assumed thing.

Because:
A) They miss stuff (and gosh their remit is huge enough)
and, also importantly:
B) You shouldn't have needed what happened the other month to know that HOLY SHIT THEY CAN BE TAKEN OUT, but, you know... we have literal fucking proof they can be offlined so...

... download and save stuff for yourself, yo.

It's hilarious how I'll do full discussions on the intricacies of some stuff under CWs and then other stuff I get all 'uhhh just put [Redacted]'.

Dunno why.
