There is a secret code in Donkey Kong 64 that will only play a funny noise, and nothing else. Standing next to a torch in K. Lumsy's room and pressing C-Up, D-Down, C-Left, D-Right, C-Down, D-Up, C-Right and D-Left will make a burp sound... and that's it. There are no other effects.

Jusqu’à quand faudra-t-il répéter que les prélèvements sociaux, c’est aussi du salaire qu’on accepte de réinvestir dans la solidarité entre travailleurs/citoyens ? Aka notre retraite, notre chômage et nos remboursements maladie par ex. Bordel, vous avez tous envie de finir comme aux US ?!

Dans son programme, son obsession sera d'augmenter "la rémunération nette des travailleurs" par une baisse des prélèvements sociaux sur les salaires, a-t-il dit sur TF1.

All I'm seeing is the Linux/FOSS space becoming more and more unbearable for anyone who are <insert something nazi doesn't like>, precisely because of disgraces to the human race like him and the people cheering them on Sure, it doesn't seem to disturb the AI-bros over there in the slightest

I'd never use Omarchy (much prefer Nix/NixOS) and I *heavily* disagree with DHH's politics—but!—8 millies to a Linux "distro" is excellent news for Linux as an ecosystem over all. This is probably as good as it'll get.

Remember that folks in the UK can’t speak their honest feelings because she can (and does) immediately use her country’s legal system surrounding defamation to threaten them into silence, so we have to be twice as vocal for them: JK Rowling’s a hateful, bigoted, and transphobic disgrace to society.

I'm actually fairly heartened to see in normie spaces people talking about JK Rowling honestly and describing her as a motivated bigot that funnels profits into hate crimes. I saw a writer from Variety making it very clear HP funds her hate. It feels like the tide is making a significant turn.

part of why the AI market is pushing "everybody is using it, it's inevitable" narrative: I've seen with people in my life the more you lean on it (and a lil bit slippery slopes towards more) it will make you worse at what you're doing until your output is as mediocre as anyone only using AI to do it

Customers are rejecting gen AI art,
music, articles, games, scripts, etc
if they still can find enough human-
made alternatives. AI industry benefits
if skilled people lose their advantage and
stop providing alternatives. If you have
experience doing a skill it will dull your
ability until your work might as well
be done by an untrained 20 year old
asking AI. Like how the auto industry
fights bike lanes, public transit, sidewalks.

The specific focus in this video on the way these tools get under your skin and train you to depend on them is an aspect I personally find existentially terrifying. youtu.be/TtvICev9sBE?...

i hate that AI companies have muddied the word "generative" Generative art: procedural art created using a *system of mathematical rules designed intentionally* by the artist. AI-generated: created by automated systems (LLMs) using opaque, extractive processes unknown to both the user and viewer.

Amnesty Int is about to learn - Appeasing the beast doesn't do anything but make it want more bites out of you. Giving in doesn't EVER work. It just makes you easier to digest. Fight and you can win. Roll over and you will be made an example of. Every. Time.

France just became the first nation in Europe to ban teens from social media and, you guessed it, they’re forcing everyone to upload their ID’s for social media access in order to enforce it. www.bbc.com/news/article...

If you're even a _tiny_ bit into security and privacy, pay attention to this one. A court filing in a case against cyberhacker Peter Stokes revealed Microsoft's GDID embedded in EVERY Win11 install provided the FBI the ability to trace his PC across VPNs(!!) & proxies(!!) across three countries.

Microsoft admits Windows 11 has a GDID tracker with no off switch, first documented publicly in an FBI hacker complaint

GDID is the persistent Windows ID that helped FBI trace a Scattered Spider hacker despite VPNs. Here's how it works and how to limit it.

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

An image showing the colorful transparent plastic of various pieces of technology of the 90's and early 2000s, that were easily the popular choice of the millennial age bracket. Some of the tech is an iMac, Nintendo 64, Sega DreMcast, a PlayStation 2, a Gameboy color and Advance, and CD player.

No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this

Millennial grey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A kitchen with beige grey floors, drab walls, brushed steel appliances, and grey granite countertops.
Grey floors and furnishings are said to appeal to Millennial tastes.
Millennial grey refers to a desaturated colour scheme that is said to appeal to the interior design sensibilities of the Millennial Generation in the early 21st century.[1] Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair attributed its widespread adoption to a desire among Millennials for "a flexible, sensible choice that will last years, hide any stains, and can be adapted to different schemes."[1] Some have diagnosed Millennial grey as a reaction to the warm hues of the late 20th century.[2]

Millennial grey is polarising, particularly when used with imitation-wood-texture sheet vinyl flooring, which many describe as depressing, soulless, or corporate.[3][4] Although attributed to Millennials, the grey colour scheme is often chosen by house flippers, vacation rental owners, or other people who do not actually live in the greyed properties.[3] Thus, the occupant of the property—Millennial or not—has little say in its colour scheme, particularly when deployed for fixtures such as flooring.[4] The greying may have been driven, in part, by a desire to prepare properties for sale in a manner thought to be least offensive to the average buyer.[5] Given the housing crises gripping many countries in the early to mid-21st century, buyers and renters may feel they have no choice but to accept a property decked in Millennial grey.[4]

To the extent that Millennial grey is said to be enjoyed by Millennials, it is also said to be loathed by Generation Z.[1][2]
