There's a really cool claymation puzzle game called The Neverhood. It was a big part of my childhood, and it looks like GOG might work to bring it back to modern devices! Consider voting to bring it back from the old times to modern-day computers, if it looks interesting to you. https://www.gog.com/dreamlist/game/the-neverhood

Good morning Fedi! Do any of yall use a operating system that's not Linux, Windows, BSD or Mac on a regular basis? If so, which one?

Been thinking a lot about media recently, and I think a lot of writers and creators really need to understand the importance of pacing and a strong first impression.

The intro of Mario & Luigi: Brothership was dull, and turned people away. The first few episodes of the RTD 2 version of Doctor Who were bad and turned people away.

In both cases, the creators stuck the boring and audience alienating stuff at the start, and lost a sizeable percentage of said audience.

@tante I think this is a bit too extreme and generalized. For instance I don't use the inline code suggestions, they annoy me. But I sometimes use the AI Chat to ask programming questions, especially when I'm in a domain that I'm not very familiar with. I don't blindly copy the answers. I validate them and use them as an inspiration to solve the current coding problem. I'm very aware that AI makes errors.

I found this #throwback from a few years ago. I'm thankful to whoever made it.

I just logged into FaceBook for the first time in years and it’s filled with the most insane AI slop

Silly #poll time:

How do you pronounce "been," as in "How have you been?"

This is a proposal to expand the tried tl;dr standard for further usecases.

The authors propose

pw;dr - paywall; didn't read
ai;dr - ai, didn't read

This is a draft.

When they run out of patients.

Telling people that obesity isn't unhealthy is like telling them that smoking isn't unhealthy.

Sure, you may make them feel better in the short term. But you're also lying to their face, and causing actual harm if they make the mistake of believing you.

Doesn't mean that people should be going around mocking people for their weight - plenty of people develop physical health problems in response to mental health problems, and with the way society has been for decades, lots of people clearly have just given up.

"healthy at every size" is a _lie_.

Someone who is underweight is _inherently unhealthy_; some of my friends had health emergencies because they had disorders relating to appearance and didn't eat enough as a result. Someone who is drastically overweight is _inherently unhealthy_; every single organ in the body is being strained to the breaking point.

> advocates practicing healthy behaviors in the body you have, rather than placing weight loss at the center of treatment.

That's nonsense; if you weight 400 lbs, and you are truly practicing healthy behaviors, you _will_ lose weight. Maintaining that weight requires a degree of consumption that is, _in itself_, unhealthy, because it means the digestive system / metabolism is processing loads it _cannot handle_ without breaking down.

This sort of toxic positivity is so infuriating. Some things _really are bad_. Pretending they're not _hurts people_. It _kills_ people.

Some lifestyles are less healthy than others. It doesn't do anyone good to pretend otherwise.

@0x10f I hate that the word stands for porn.
