Unbecredible

I think I’d have to resort to a leap of faith - that quantum effects are still random.

My brother in Christ, at the point at which you’re incrementing incomprehensibly large numbers and hoping one of them decodes into ASCII text that is the specific answer to your problems…you have already taken the leap, fallen, impacted with the earth, and died.

RIP.

I’ve got about 300 or so words worth of storage

That’s more than enough to explain to myself what’s going on, what I’ve tried and anything else I’d want to know.

Are you insane??? 300 words is nothing. Imagine trying to investigate the time loop so you can break out. Merely keeping a list of the people you’ve already investigated would become impossible way too quickly.

More likely you’d try to make notes to yourself to preserve some sense of persistent identity and purpose in the face of the time loop. But that would require detailed descriptions of your experiences, thoughts, and feelings, and 300 words is only enough space for a few fairly meaningful notes or maybe several dozen super condensed notes “No flight 318, crashes. Love is time waste. John, Rachel, Liam, Tom are DTF. Murder 300 W. Elm 3/11 @ 4pm. Time flat circle? Saw in True Detective tv show”…etc But that type of note is barely adequate to convey simple instructions, much less to convey a sense of identity.

Just this comment is like 150 words. Christ I’m stressed, just thinking about it.

sounds like you DO have a use for one…

Why does Redhat auto mount my extra hard drives at /run/media but Debian & Co put it in /media/?

hmmmm? Exactly. 9/11 was an inside job.

That’s neat!

yogthos: I have problem y. How can I solve problem y?

StackOverflow: You don’t solve problem y. You solve problem x so that problem y never comes into being.

yogthos: Oh wow. Shit okay, well what if I’m already having problem y though? How can -

StackOverflow: bruh. Why are you even still thinking about problem y? Problem y isn’t real; it can’t hurt you. Problem y was just a mirage. Get it? It was a red herring. An epistemological myth you told yourself too many times and started believing. Problem y is just a sickness of the mind made manifest. Cleanse yourself of it.

lol I know you’re not saying that to be dismissive I just like dramatizing things

So my back would finally stretch out and pop? Sounds like my dream.

I feel the existence of an “export” option in a piece of software is noble in this day and age, and I’m so appreciative of it.

It says “look, I don’t WANT you to go to my competitor, but I’m not gonna try to hold your data hostage to prevent it.”

It’s class, as the Scottish would say.

Okay but if you get stuck, at least try to get in one good asphyx-e-wank on your way out.

You can’t keep secrets from the future.

Heard that once in a song about how all encryption is doomed to break against future math/computing power. Great eery phrase.

whaaaaaaaa this is so tight. I use an interactive session as a calculator on my pc and always wish there was a way to refer to the last result.

There’s no reason to think that I’m no longer chasing my dream, that I’m being dragged by it is there? - Marc Maron

Sad little human. I have written my treatises into the warp and weft of reality itself. I have twisted my curiosity into the folds of your DNA and stamped my waxing madness into the ragged edges of the telomeres that mark your days as numbered. I have made of the stars a celestial QR code that burns across the skies of every planet, that burns across the eyes of every ape who stares into the night and asks “why?”. I announced The Work with a bang of gas and light and awe and set time itself into motion so my scripture could expand eternally into the infinite, benighted expanse.

…kinda but also wtf are you talking about? It’s Taco Bell, of course it’s going to be greasy as fuck and delicious.

Not delicious in the way of fresher more authentic Mexican food. Delicious in the way of Taco Bell.

First I’m hearing of this as a very very casual gamer, but it sounds incredible. I mean right now it might not be great, but you can see the potential appeal for novel playthroughs and such.

Weird just means unusual (with slight negative connotations already) . So to use “weird” as an unqualified insult is to say that being unusual is a negative thing in itself. Which echoes the sentiment behind things like xenophobia and such. That’s why people are uncomfortable with this line of political attack, imo.

To say “there’s good weird and bad weird” doesn’t say much more than that there are ways of being unusual that you view positively and those that you view negatively. But that’s obvious and doesn’t resolve the issue I mentioned before.

What a memory this unlocked!! The physics of this game made you feel like you were 100% driving a real car. I almost want to play it again now, but honestly I bet that not being able to actually drive as a kid was half of what made it so mesmerizing.

Now it might just be like driving to work :(

Damn RIP dude.

Do you know how your email account got hacked?

I don’t understand how this happens to people.

Unfortunately I think there’s been a good bit of evidence recently that people WILL accept it. As a prime example lemmy hasn’t exactly replaced reddit despite the relative uproar that the API changes caused. Netflix & co just keep hiking prices and people just keep buying it.

And then on the technical side, if the ads are coming from the server it’s possible youtube might just refuse to serve the rest of the video stream until all or most the ad’s runtime has passed. It depends on how serious they want to get about capturing the revenue lost to adblock users.
