@Sempf @InsiderTreat hah! its been years since i did the flight sim thing (like years and years and years. remember falcon 4.0?) but im having pangs back to incredibly staggeringly dubious claims by a buy who said he 'made a plane fly sideways' once, and got a fuckboat of media coverage over it.

the shit ...

totally wouldnt fly today :D

@foone @ryanc bananas

@foone @ryanc fucking what. thats bonkers. the IT overhead alone. there are .. i dunno.. tens of thousands? there are some people who just shouldnt be allowed to make decisions, and the chick fil a people definitely have many of them in their employ. for this, and for the other evil bullshit they pull

@foone f... what

@dansup fantastic milestones, man!

@hellomiakoda hell yes. kensington slimblade club go!

@steter @ai6yr well, ill tell ya, being present to watch a new island form VERY RAPIDLY would have been straight up cool as fuck.

course, i suppose knowing it was going to happen with enough lead time to do something like that would have itself been a pretty neat trick

@ai6yr WHEN KAIJU ALREADY

the kaiju suspense is killing me!

@ai6yr i hope it turns out be something interesting and isnt just a super gassy lava fart.

the last one was pretty wild - that explosion in tonga that made a new island/volcano (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/new-island-pacific-ocean-volcano-eruption-tonga-new-zealand/) - i was able to read the atmospheric pressure change with my weather station for that one!

@ai6yr makes me wonder if the tonga blowup was preceded by the same gigantic subterranian massage chair action

@dansup it wont let me log in?

yeah we'll see
if suddenly phobos gets a mad rush of business, we'll know

@feld well if money isnt property, then stealing it isnt a crime, which means wire fraud isnt a crime anymore!

@cR0w @chillybot @jerry @lerg oh hey are we all huehuehueviation experts in this thread?

in my ted talk today I'll be exploring the synergies of using blockchain AI strategies combined with human assisted guidance techniques to uplift and exemplify the best parts of being a helicopter pilot

https://gizmodo.com/nordvpn-says-its-new-protocol-can-circumvent-vpn-blockers-2000556580

im going to field a guess that this is
"the same lol-vpn redteamers have been doing using domain fronting for years" but they packaged it up as "a new protocol", and will get away with it, because the people who see the nordvpn ads on youtube abjectly refuse to learn stuff about computers and believe anything they see in ads

@dansup is it possible to enable dark mode on android mobile?

@nixCraft the ancillary fallout from this though is damaging people who have nothing to do with any of this AI hype - nvda is a major stock ticker and lives in a lot of peoples retirement portfolios (like, regular people, not finance bros or tech bros) and there are lots of folks who are shitting kittens right now

@jwz i like some of it. but definitelty not all of it

@jwz the dude is respectably grounded and is an absolute turbonerd. i used to watch him stream minecraft on twitch. he used to be on irc. i wager you two would get along? i get the impression hes very chill

@dansup rad, thanks!
