I'm glad that I'm not the only one who realizes the hypocrisy of many of these anti-AI people who want to use copyright to stop generative AI while also supporting piracy, Creative Commons licenses, and creating fan works.

Though I didn't realize that some are now advocating the extension of copyright law to apply to art styles in order to combat generative AI. That's is really going to come back at them later, if that ever happens.

Take the action to own your own computer, even if it is using older hardware.

A system with PC3 or PC4 memory can perform just fine for most tasks (especially if you have 16GB of more).

Use your own hardware. Run Linux or BSD. Take action to remain free. Use encryption.

99% of smart home crap just feels like

why is it connected to the internet? so it can get updates
why does it need updates? because it's connected to the internet

Josh managed to fix a long standing problem I've had in the CyberChud engine using Claude. Josh doesn't know C, or gamedev, or rendering, or any of this stuff.

Claude even understood how I do memory management, which is clunky and fragile: https://gitgud.io/CrunkLord420/cyberchud/-/merge_requests/1/diffs

"We are currently in the midst of governments finalizing the negotiations with corporations under what terms they will dictate cyberspace to the public. What is good for the public, never mind what the people actually want is irrelevant to this process. The presumption is that a state’s “digital sovereignty” and corporate “innovation” are vastly more important than the interests of the people. This is why all ‘safety’ reforms for cyberspace will inevitably fail to actually increase safety, they’re not really intended to. In fact, the most likely outcome of these ‘reforms’ is to be highly dangerous to the public in more insidious and difficult to quantify ways."

I am so fucking sick and tired of the whole "I just woke up in a bad mood" excuse. You didn't wake up in a bad mood, you just felt like being an asshole today.

If you overslept, underslept, and/or had a bad dream, then that's fine, but nobody just wakes up in a bad mood.

I'm currently toying around with having gravity switches in the levels instead of having the player being able to flip the gravity at will. I feel like there are too many ways levels can be cheesed if the player can flip gravity when ever they want.

Gravity flipping is still going to be a core-mechanic, regardless.

"Every single person who has cancer has a pH that is too acidic"

Dr. Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize in 1931 for proving that cancer can't survive in an alkaline, oxygen rich environment but thrives in an acidic, low oxygen environment.

I have personal first hand experience with fighting cancer using baking soda and food grade hydrogen peroxide along with eliminating sugar and alcohol from the diet...
And not just in myself but also with Sarah and with a friend of mine named Richard who was the cab driver with diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer... I worked with him and so did Billy Porter with the regimen the baking soda alkaline water Chlorella and hydrogen peroxide and by the time he went to get ready for his treatment the cancer was gone.

THERE ARE MULTIPLE CURES FOR CANCER, BUT THEY ARE SUPPRESSED BECAUSE CANCER IS WORTH $200 BILLION A YEAR...

In fact, the truth is this...
NOBODY DIES OF CANCER... EVERYONE WHO DIES DIES FROM THE EFFECT OF THE CHEMOTHERAPY.-Gary Williams

Short and sweet explanation of both LISP and Smalltalk:

1) S-expressions are just function calls, represented as lists.

2) Messages are just function calls where the actual function that will execute depends on the type (class) of one or more of the parameters.

3) Blocks are just pure functions that also happen to be anonymous.

Yes, I know there are some caveats, but the above gets you in the right mental space.

After years of almost exclusively using laptops, it's really nice to be able to use a desktop again, even if it's just a Mini PC.

Many people seem to be under the impression that reading books makes you smart.

First:
Information != Intelligence
Intelligence != Wisdom

Secondly, most books are not great, particularly ones written in the last 50 years (with a few exceptions), they are the mental equivalent of watching wheel of fortune and pretending you are learning deep truths about the world.

Third, you are far better off being a fool who has read one good book, than an “intellectual” who has read hundreds of bad ones.

@icedquinn There are some shitty trailer parks, but I've been to some nice ones.

From my experience, the best ones are the ones with amenities and people living in actual mobile homes and not just trailers or RVs.
