@adiz @pup i mean i fundamentally agree that technology exists for the user. unfortunately the "everything is political" crowd has generally won the culture war.

@pup I'm using FunkWhale to record and stream DJ sets of local artists in Shanghai. My company says they might fork FunkWhale to remove this hard-coded crap because it's such an insult and slap in the face that developers would dictate upon the users how the software ought be used---what music you ought be able to listen to or share. It's the principle of the matter. @icedquinn

@pup virtue ethics have been dead for decades. most people will passively ignore this and if you do bring it up they will just cope out "oh well it didn't affect ME yet so its fine"

Status update on the embedded research lab.

I've got 4 modems and 3 power wires. I have space and power for up to 16 modems.

To the far left there's a fuse panel connected to a relay block. I'm using the normally-closed terminal so I power a relay to turn a modem OFF, which makes sense because it's meant for a hard reboot.

I severely underestimated the amount of wire I would need, so I only ran 3 lines off of the relay block - I'll clean up those wires when I have all 16 run.

White twist-ties are also temporary until I get another batch of zip ties.

The fuse block has only a single 14 AWG positive going in, but has 18 3 amp fuses. A 14 gauge wire can only carry (max) 20 amps, not 54. I'm not going to pull 3 amps per line, but 2 amps is realistic and that's 36 amps, which is also the max output of the power supply. My main positive and negative lines are 3x 14 gauge wire each, so no problem there, but the fuse block is the Achilles Heel.

The modems are slid into a dish rack, it just happens to be exactly the width of a typical modem...

Biggest update since GNU/Linux

Apparently, both the US and China are in a race to see who can build the most efficient network of satellites that generate solar power, but it's all a scam.

Neither the American nor Chinese government will admit that you can generate unlimited free energy from the Earth's ionosphere as what Tesla tried to do or what the Ancient Egyptians or whoever built the Pyramids of Giza did (that was it's true purpose).

Two Goddesses...
Six Priests...

...

And one presumed-canonical love interest (especially given how excited she is to see Adol again when he returns to Esteria during Dawn of Ys - she's also supposedly chasing him across Celceta during Mask of the Sun).

CERTIFIED DSP MOMENT: Silly me, I forgot to equip the Goddess Ring to my item slot, so I marched into battle armed with... the Silver Harmonica.

How embarrassing.

Anyway. THE DARM HAS BEEN SUCCESSFULLY DEALT HARM.

The fated duel with Dalles... yeah, I'm basically set for the end of the game at this point, though I'm feeling more like going back and wrapping up my EXP grinding - I know my stats really aren't going to get any better than this, but they're giving me the option to max out my EXP, sooo...

Won't be long until the Darm fight, at least.

Forgetting to save after gaining levels during a grind and carelessly letting yourself get killed once or twice certainly adds to the amount of time you spend fucking around in the game...

...anyway, this scene always manages to deliver some chills.
