I thought I was the only one who’s seen Scavenger’s Reign. I haven’t heard much talk about it. Damn shame because it’s amazing.

Six more months until season 2. Counting down the days.
Scavengers Reign. If you like The Expanse, you might be into sci-fi animated with a seriously weird style. And it’s one season with the story tied up in a bow at the end.
HTC Vive. Not necessarily this specific tech itself, but VR gaming more broadly. My friend and I were ginning ourselves up for years before it came out. I dropped a lot of money on a gaming rig for it. And when I put the googles on… I fucking hated it. I didn’t like standing and gaming. I didn’t like being so isolated from everyone else in the house. And the games were glorified tech demos slapped together with unity assets. By the time Half Life Alex came out, I had no more fucks to give.
The porn was fun though.
Changed it. Thanks.
I’m around the same age as you, and I taught myself front end development. Don’t let anyone say you can’t learn. If you want to make websites, I suggest HTML => CSS => JavaScript => React.js. I recommend learning on Scrimba.com. They have a screen cast system where an actual instructor tells you what to do in plain English with the corresponding code on screen. If you want to see how a change would affect the code, you can pause the cast and run the code yourself.
And if you want to learn back end, a back end programmer suggested learning PHP. Still in high demand in the job market.
Use your words. Tell her you don’t want to and why.
Emotional reward.
So… what’s the second rule of talking to Fox News?
Cory Doctorow and I suggest reading Walkaway. I found it transformative.
It’s a matter of privilege. Trump had the opportunity to stack the courts in his favor. SBF didn’t. The rich rally around Trump because they see him as one of their own. SBF was an interloper. Trump has a rabid fan base willing to commit violence in his name. SBF cloaked himself in effective altruism.
If they both don’t rot in jail, then the myth of the social contract in the US will be torn to shreds. I fear what would happen after that.
When I was on Reddit, I changed up accounts every 2 years. Just safer that way.
Lemmy is home.
If Bytedance shutters TikTok, a multi-billion dollar operation, that’s proof positive they are hiding some heinous shit.
I keep hearing that the US government is trying to ban TikTok. That just ain’t happening, but forcing it to divest from Bytedance is much more realistic. And that’s exactly what should happen.
TikTok is the primary news source for a lot of young people. The algorithms absolutely could be controlled by the CCP. The ability to amplify fringe beliefs is a power Xi should not have over us.
That’s news to my brows. Mine are growing longer. A few more years of this and I’ll look like the mentats from Lynch’s Dune.
Put more thought into realistic options for my career.
Just tried out Claude 3:
When the dead rabbit was seen by the dog, it hopped. What does “it” refer to: the rabbit or the dog?
In the sentence “When the dead rabbit was seen by the dog, it hopped,” the pronoun “it” refers to the dog, not the rabbit.
This is because the rabbit is described as “dead,” meaning it cannot hop or move. The verb “hopped” implies movement, which can only logically apply to the living subject in the sentence, which is the dog.
So the intended meaning is that when the dog saw the dead rabbit, the dog itself hopped, likely in surprise or reaction to seeing the dead animal.
When the iceberg was struck by the ship, it sunk. What does “it” refer to: the iceberg or the ship?
In the sentence “When the iceberg was struck by the ship, it sunk,” the pronoun “it” refers to the ship, not the iceberg.
The reason is that icebergs, being large masses of ice floating in water, do not actually “sink” when struck. They are already floating and may crack or break apart when struck, but the word “sunk” implies something going down below the water’s surface.
Ships, on the other hand, are vessels designed to float on water. If a ship strikes an iceberg with enough force, it can cause damage that leads to the ship taking on water and eventually sinking below the surface.
So in this context, with the verb “sunk” being used, it is more logical that “it” is referring to the ship sinking after striking the iceberg, rather than describing what happened to the stationary iceberg itself.
How about some pre-transhuman solarpunk? I recommend my favorite book, Walkaway by Cory Doctorow. It’s about the birth pangs of a post scarcity society. Absolutely brilliant.
