Thanks, I will take that onboard for positioning it on the ereader cover. I've been looking at it so long now that I'm becoming numb to its ugly aspects, but it definitely hits different depending on the angle.

‘ICE Kidnapping’ Signs Are Popping Up Around D.C. —And the White House Is Freaking Out in c/usa@midwest.social
[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

We're aligned against the rich, the police, the military, the judges, Congress, the president, the (most influential American) priests, and the press. And every major social media platform. And the government is currently shut down.

And they need you to "be violent" so they can justify what comes next? If that's what they need, the violence will occur by hook or crook. Disasters are frequent, and none are being wasted.

It's past time for a prolonged general strike. Short of that, the only hope for a return to norms is a military coup, and even that is only a fool's hope.

All you have to do is squint your eyes. Until they're closed. And then imagine a frog.

Dog wants to be considered for an Oscar after breakout horror movie role in c/Horror@lemmy.ca
[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Many films have had dogs as their protagonist. Fewer have been horror films. Professor of film studies Ben Leonberg's dog, Indy, has delivered a masterclass in acting in Good Boy (2025). I've seen lots of films with dogs as the main character. Trained animals do not achieve what we consider "acting", however. It's not within their scope. Indy isn't an actor either, but the approach with which he has been handled, as the director's own companion - and filmed such that his natural behaviours lend themselves to the script through clever cinematography, are innovative and gripping. If you watch one horror film this spooky season, I think the best possible one for any dog lover, is Good Boy.

AI will let humans die in order to save themselves, study finds in c/news@lemmings.world
[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

LLMs are not AI, it's an algorithm that finds the most likely next word given a set of training data. We've fed it a pile of the shit we say, and it's feeding us back the shit. It doesn't plan, think, have opinions, or anything. Now we write stupid shit like this. We are yelling into a canyon and spooking ourselves out with the echoes of the shit we said.

True AGI might or might not have a self preservation instinct. Our instincts don't come from the neocortex, and that is the area of the brain a true AGI is most likely to imitate.

How do you think I'm doing with Freetube/Grayjay/Stacher? Is that an okay mix? I dunno. I mostly just want to be able to archive indie animations and keep up with a select few channels with as little algorithmic content as possible.

my take on Bún thịt nướng (lemmy.world)
 

This has been our lunch for the past couple weeks. It's filling, pretty easy to do low calorie, and a great way to beat the heat.

Wish it wasn't so hard to find fresh bean sprouts, the ones in the shop are always a bit sad.

no knead wholemeal brioche with pearl sugar (infosec.pub)

Is this even brioche at this point? Who cares.

The sugar is to make it more attractive to my kid, I'd rather top it with everything bagel mix.

Bad oven spring this time, I screwed up the proofing and didn't have foil around to tent for the second half. Result? Cooler oven, darker crust.

brioche apple pie roses (infosec.pub)
 

Woke up at four to get this going, and breakfast still wasn't served until half ten. Somehow I wasn't cured of my interest in brioche.

Recipe adapted from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhrgf7X2ihs, but instead of his filing I just did apple pie mix. A few had Nutella.

Kill the Crows review (infosec.pub)
 

You know how Nidhogg is just one thing, and it's super simple and slightly just...nothing, but you can spend ages with it and it's got an incredibly high skill ceiling, and there's no flaws at all and they've just sort of achieved everything they set out to do without making a big deal out of it? It's that kind of game.

Kill The Crows is such a pure, condensed game. So rare to find a gameplay loop so utterly on the mark. Every moment is a small crisis where you're either lost in a flow state, or you're dead - and then right back into the action a couple seconds later.

Can't believe how few people talk about this cult classic-in-waiting. It's really charming.

more pizza because I'm a deranged man without limits (infosec.pub)
 

This week I'm doing three different individual pizzas every night for four nights. Because the world is burning, but my oven is pretty hot too.

The crumb. I never appreciated how important it is to buy the nice flour.

Is there a suitable PeerTube instance for this? (lemmy.world)
 

I’ve spent the last year every weekend creating a 2.5 hour block of tailored programming to recreate the experience of Saturday morning cartoons for my kid, with selections from ~60 of the best (and some bad) cartoons from the last several decades, animated music videos, unearthed funny old clips, and modern indie animations, often with seasonal themes.

My programming is (I think) objectively better than the Saturday morning block ever was, and it takes hours every week to gather clips, edit, and manage where we’re at with every show. I sometimes wish I could share it with a larger crowd. Do you know of a PeerTube instance that would be cool with hosting this kind of content? I've tried sharing this with friends and family via SyncThing, but they didn't like it and it was a pain to help them troubleshoot all the time. It would be nice to have a platform for this work, even though I know it's all mostly untenable from an IP standpoint.

MMX: Corrupted - Cyber Lab (youtu.be)
 

Just outstanding stuff. I don't think I've ever seen a Mega Man boss fight quite this interesting in how it plays out. Seems like this game is going to have an incredibly high skill ceiling.

Mythians - taking suggestions (app.kanka.io)
 

This is a playable race in a game I've been developing. I like the premise, but the overall impression feels lacking to me. Mythians come from elves in this story, which are more like cenobites than fairies (taking cues from Pratchett's Lords and Ladies but hyperbolically so, until you're more into Gwar territory). They've renounced horrific madness and cosmic power. It's got a lot going for it, but I'm not happy with how "simple" and just-so it all feels. Any help?
