Hello there!
I boost a lot of posts, but I have a few things to say every now and then.
I am largely fine with boosting posts from people I disagree with even on significant, dividing issues. I usually don't, however, if they actively advocate for these ideas... so it goes :/

24 hours of Earth's rotation, with the camera locked to the sky instead of the ground. We're all hanging out on this spinning rock.

But also take this all with a grain of salt, I'm quite the low-level player for someone who dares to enter in (friendly, but still) (college) tourneys. And I go 0-2 a ton 🫠
@Hyper@discuss.smash.today @VentureSmash Personally, I keep Y as jump, so I can press attack and jump at the same time with just my thumb for out of shield / short-hop attacks. I don't know if I do oos / short-hop attacks like that for a strictly practical reason or if it is just leftover habit from when X and Y were my jump buttons. But otherwise, it means I have easy access to the two- jump-button short hop input whenever I want. I think I use ZR more than ZL, unless I'm doing down throw to up air via C-stick?
@CM30 Oh wow lol. I only read a bit of it though, just in case it might have any TotK spoilers.

@VentureSmash I have both bumpers mapped to jump, and X mapped to grab (my controller has the GameCube arrangment of the ABXY buttons). I find it very very useful indeed.
I wish you the best @array!
@CM30 Whoa, I had no idea there were two characters named Rauru.

@PaulWay When I hear things like "Will AI take people's jobs" I always think that they're saying "Will corporations that use AI take people's jobs" and are not talking about AI taking people's jobs of its own volition.
@ich@ni.hil.ist @sgtnasty Hmm... I have always thought of #permacomputing as the means and methodology of creating software that never goes obsolete at the technical level. Fighting the trend of planned obsoletion, probably using an emulator for a constructed, permacomputing-intended platform.
(Note that #UXN has been how I have been introduced to permacomputing)
@CM30 I was wondering what was going on there, but I just saw my sister do that :)

Check out this best worst thing I found. It is my UX nightmare but also fun to play.

Here’s how I used AI to clone a 60 Minutes correspondent’s voice to trick a colleague into handing over Sharyn's passport number. I cloned Sharyn’s voice then manipulated the caller ID to show Sharyn’s name on the caller ID with a spoofing tool.
The hack took 5 minutes total for me to steal the sensitive information.
So, how do we protect ourselves, our loved ones, and our organizations?
1. Make sure the people around you know that caller ID is easily faked (spoofed) and that voices can also be easily impersonated.
2. If they receive a dire call from “you”, verify it’s really you with another method of communication (text, DM, FT, call, etc) before taking an action (like sending money). Kind of like human MFA.
Some suggest setting up a secret “verification word” with their folks ones so that if someone impersonates & demands money/access etc you can ask for the verification word to see if it’s a real crisis. This won’t work for all people but could work for some. If it’s a match, use it.
In general, I recommend keeping advice simple: if premise of call is dire use a 2nd method of communication to confirm a person is in trouble before taking action (like wiring money or sensitive data). Rapid text, email, DM, have others message repeatedly — before wiring money.
Bottom line is:
Scammers use urgency & fear to convince victims to take actions (like sending money, data, etc).
If premise of a call, text, email, or DM is too dire (or too good to be true), that’s a likely scam.
Use a 2nd method of communication to check it’s real before taking action!

@mike I'm in the habit of double clicking the first word, but keeping hold of the second click. This highlights the whole word and then you can drag around to select the rest one word at a time instead of individual letters. A true game changer that I don't think many know about!
