Is it weird to have a favorite chord? I'm just learning #ukulele, and I'm digging the d-minor chord

@barefootstache that's a stretch and still doesn't add significant philosophical depth to the whole thing

@barefootstache wtf are you even getting at?

I finally saw Squid Game. It was good, but it didn't do much for me. Like, there wasn't anything that really made me think.

howdy stranger. have you heard of this? https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2022/07/11/203-n-j-enfield-on-why-language-is-good-for-lawyers-and-not-scientists/
seems maybe up your alley

I've heard this take on machine learning models that they're benefiting from uncredited or uncompensated works, with the implication that this is bad and wouldn't be permitted if the model were replaced with, say, a human. that's obviously mistaken though.. the way almost all of these models work, we'd have to be similarly upset at humans who consume heaps of images, text, sounds, etc then produce new artifacts under the influence of those, but we're not. we celebrate the people who produce such things for their ingenuity, artistry, or analysis.

@cwebber@octodon.social agreed!
PSA, though, for anyone who owns one: be sure to replace your sealing ring on a regular basis. Mine failed after ~2.5 years of weekly use, including high pressure cooking and slow cooking, and shot out steam around the lid without any kind of warning. Luckily I wasn't near the pot when it happened, and they did send a free replacement ring and inner-pot, but it could have scalded me.

I have a general dislike for processed foods for the way they give you false signals about nutritional value, but I quite like non-dairy ice cream. I had more-or-less sworn off dairy due to a mild intolerance, I'm glad to have this alternative available.

@soup_reviews what can't you buy and don't say lasting love and adoration that's a cop out @fullstackthaumaturge@fosstodon.org

I just noticed the little skull accessory's eyes change with the character's :D

I love the PureCSS portraits by Diana Smith (Cyan Harlow)

What gets me is how relatively few rules there are -- I mean, it's hundreds or thousands of lines in some cases, but it's not 10s of thousands. Besides, the rules use names that you can actually understand to get a sense for how the piece, as a whole, works together.

@soup_reviews for which?

@soup_reviews that's an interesting take on game design. I think Ed McMillen described something like that when taking about super meat boy in https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indie_Game:_The_Movie (may have been somewhere else though)
