Olo is a good example. It’s due to a quirk of human perception and the structure of our eyes. They basically designed a machine to try and stimulate the green detecting cones without stimulating the red detecting cones. Normally if something pure green hits your eyes, it stimulates those red cones too. So this is something our bodies are capable of perceiving but not something that we can ever perceive under normal circumstances.
Is it a “new color”? Not exactly. Did it take a good bit of imagination to conceive trying to get our brains to see it? Yes.

Space Station 14 is a blast. If you’re really interested in hosting it though you might need a larger friend group. I think you’d need maybe 10 or so people before it actually feels interesting.

Remember when the argument for self driving cars was that they don’t need to be perfect, just better than humans?

True!

Maybe it’s rust? Or the ugliest, worst shade of blue with gold marbling.

Even drinking two per day seems intense. I’d need to look at the caffeine content again, I think red bull is relatively less, like comparable to a coffee. But monster is a ton.

“never said it did” was a response to where Forgejo supports federation for issues and PRs.
- Comment on 700+ self-hosted Git instances battered in 0-day attacks 6 days ago:
Never said it did, and the comment replying to didn’t say it did either.

concept of users, write permissions, or authentication
Forgejo has those, yes.
- Comment on PS5 is outselling Switch 2 1 week ago:
If a selling point was drastically redesigned UX I might give it a go. I hate how much the menus force you to wait in the game. Going to islands is a pain. That dumbass bird’s dialogue takes FOREVER. Letting multiple people join your island at once would be nice too. The method to buy items and clothes is so slow. Let me buy that shit more quickly. Let me craft shit more quickly. Little things like that are the worst.
Also, having more things to do in multiplayer would be good. Like some mini games or something. You can sort of make your own but it’s so minor. Running around pitfalls can only be so fun.
Another killer feature would be letting us make outdoor buildings, but I doubt they’d do something that involved.
- Comment on 700+ self-hosted Git instances battered in 0-day attacks 1 week ago:
Forgejo has all that, and then you can achieve “federation” by virtue of pushing to whatever remote. I wasn’t suggesting people use git itself (which is possible). I just meant that it’s distributed as opposed to centralized like Subverison is.

Depends how they define robust. MySQL has a myriad of features SLQite doesn’t have and won’t ever have. If they mean something like user configuration then SQLite is just out by default.
(Coming from a SQLite fan.)

Honestly, this is always more effective than a comment in the config because it can get removed. All it would take is a popular guide having the config with that option on and the comment gone.

I think the ZIP standard has something similar and it causes similar problems.
- Comment on 700+ self-hosted Git instances battered in 0-day attacks 1 week ago:
Git is already a distributed version control system.
- Comment on US demands access to tourists' social media histories 1 week ago:
So fucking annoying of articles to be like “this was published on Tuesday by the federal register and is open for comments” only to not provide a link.

Omniscient perspective is easy if you’re making a 2d game.
- Comment on When you get carried away with the corn 1 week ago:
Oh, I don’t remember that one, but I could see it. The Among Us “shape” shows up a lot in things.
Homestar Runner was the first astronaut in the Among Us lore.
- Comment on When you get carried away with the corn 1 week ago:
Which one?

You should take your own advice.
- Comment on There are ultimately only so many damn angles, okay!? 1 week ago:
This but unironically. The humor of this image, to me, is the juxtaposition of the character in the pose. But it’s actually a pretty flattering pic.

My wife is ace. They’re still good with the wands.

The worse things get in my life the more I feel like this. I believe it’s a consequence of being raised Christian. (Though I am an atheist now.) When I was younger I believed God never gives you more than you can handle. So when things got bad it felt like God was breaking that promise. Now that I’m older it feels like “bad writing.” Like, really? This many bad things in such a short time period? It’s a little on the nose, isn’t it? It’s why I can’t rewatch I saw the TV Glow until I know I am in a very stable mental place.
Major spoilers
The main characters enjoyed a TV show that got cancelled on a cliff hanger. It is revealed that the characters are actually characters from that show which is reality and the false reality is the world they’re stuck in. To get back to the true world they have to bury themselves alive. I saw this movie right in the heels of Trump’s inauguration when I had a lot of other stress going on. Naturally, a movie with 4th wall breaking lines like “Do you ever feel like your life is a TV show?” when I did feel like my life was scripted and the way for them to get out was suicide was pretty terrifying.
The irony being that I have been going through a bit of a gender journey for a while and knew the movie had themes to do with that, but none of that really hot anywhere close to home as the rest mentioned above. I’m just glad I planned to see it surrounded by friends.
The idea that there’s an escape hatch on reality is so alluring. The idea that all the bad things in your life are the fault of one person, even if they’re a metaphysical entity, is so appealing. The sad reality is that it’s all random and sometimes we just get unlucky streaks.

If only they’d put all the slop under one sub domain!

Why is OP searching for it?

It’s YouTube.
- Comment on Looks Like We Can Finally Kiss the Metaverse Goodbye 2 weeks ago:
I get your point, I genuinely do. But the way the general public uses the term metaverse is to refer to Horizon, not that style of game/app in general.
