@whitequark isn't that how the Vive wireless works?

@aral the whole concept really pisses me off.

I fucking hate coding. Every aspect of it. It's not for me, and it's just boring shite to me. BUT, I respect people who write code, and would never attempt to muscle in on their shit.

I'd rather ask a dev to do work for me than sit there and ask an AI to fuck it up.

I imagine "prompt network engineering" or "prompt system admin" or "prompt system support" would cut me the same way

Apparently "Get Australia back on track" was a little too MAGA, so now we've got a new Dutton slogan:

"Border to the back yard"

All sounds rather Fahrenheit 451 when he's talking about "dealing with the woke agenda".

To be honest, what happens in my back yard is not the business of a PM. Maybe he should run for council

@GossiTheDog dude, I smoke stupid amounts of weed, I'm about to go buy another 20g of the most wicked flower around from my chemist.

I would not have done this.

This has all the hallmarks of cocaine

@XauriEL they're collaborators, burn them to the fucking ground along with the Nazis

So, Bangkok is pretty fucked up now, not in small part because its built on a swamp.

Not much news really other than states of emergency, people trapped under a collapsed high-rise under construction, and a lot of chaos.

Death tolls are not clear yet, but it's going to be bad.

Getting anything out of Myanmar, where the epicentre is, will be difficult

@aral I fear they're "waiting for a sign", which is pretty much how things go down when you have an already pliant population.

There's also this, which makes mass strikes all but impossible without it becoming a federal crime https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taft%E2%80%93Hartley_Act

I'm dismayed at the lack of energy in any resistance, and the idea that the resistance can be planned on social media

Centrists are literally: This party wants to kill the poor, this other party wants to kill the poor but says they feel bad, and yet another party wants to help the poor. I just don't know which to choose!

Every time this dude's videos pop up on my YT, the kids are asking to watch them. They even sat down and watched the 3 part noodle documentary.

This morning:

Chinese BBQ: The Underground Pig Roasters of Guangdong

Last night was on his one on sheng jian bao, which my son loved so much that he demanded I make them

Americans are still saying "when we get out of this".

Germany never "got out of" it, it took the fall of Berlin, Hitler killing himself, and the sacking of the Eagle's Nest, for Germany to stop, and there was no Germany after, just a shattered state

Who the fuck is advising Albanese?

He had the perfect opportunity to say "No, I do not trust Donald Trump, he's made it clear he's an untrustworthy person".

Not only would that rally Aussies, it'd bait the shit out of Dutton. The moment Dutton starts defending Trump, it's all over for him

@evan yours is literally the first I've seen

@evan incessant polls

You know, you can support both Ukraine and Palestine, without shitting on support for Ukraine.

Yeh, it's different, white people are racist, they hate supporting brown skinned people.

Get over it, fight it, but don't try to drag others down to highlight racism

I'm starting to think there's two fediverses:

The one where people blocked all the dickheads who brought Twitter drama here, and the one where these people aren't blocked.

I see bleeding between the two, and the occasional reply to someone I blocked for Twitter drama, but I don't get the feed full of shit takes and angry ex-Twitter people

Asking people to CW politics: that's a blocking.

It's also some heavy white privilege

I don't see much of Trump lately, because I actively avoid it, but every small clip I've seen is just insanity.

He just says what he wants, no challenge, and looks like drugged out fucker we walked past last night on the corner of Bourke and Swanston (you know if you know)

@jwildeboer and you do you, maybe stop criticising people for desecrating racism

@jwildeboer yeh, but Herge was a massive racist and Nazi sympathiser, so I don't give a flying fuck what the original text said, because any disrespect to Herge is a good thing

@EricFielding @moz oh, I'm very active with the "don't recommend" stuff, but it still comes through if they really want to push it on you.

I spend a lot of time on YT, as do the kids, so we've got pretty full profiles.

Funnily enough, if the kids watch YT on the TV, it's my account, so I can see how their viewing affects mine. 5th tile will go from Minecraft to Rogan. 😬

It's why I have a blanket ban on "Shorts", it's like 5th tile all the time
