30y since release

I’m by no means knowledgeable on webdev stuff so I don’t know the performance implications.

1. Have some reasonably complex js that conditionally shows an image. (This may not need to be complex, I’m not knowledgeable on AI scrapping algos)
2. Route all images through this js function
3. Generate 100s of garbage images with captions.
4. Add those to html source (but don’t show them to users re: step 1)

Pseudo code:

<img src=“img” hidden=“my_func(false)”/>

I’m not a web-dev (my liver can’t take the alcohol necessary to learn it), but you should get the idea.

Or just throw the garbage images into the existing AI maze.

Typewriters have a unique wear pattern on each letter, so it’s definitely possible to find if the same typewriter was used for two sets of output.

This is so fucking sad for me. I’m 98% certain that man took his son’s spot so he could live.

I keep forgetting how awful the internet is without ad blockers…

Great link & description, though. Super solid.

I was responsible for localization for work and Polish…

Google “Polish counting”. It’s almost like the Polish people intentionally made it hard to learn their language.

Realistically, it should be assumed RDP is insecure, so use it via VPN.

Once you won EVE, try out Prosperous Universe. No combat. Just the economics/trading of EVE, no need to always be on.

Plus, we have the best spreadsheets.

If you don’t watch what your kids play, your kids will find something inappropriate to play. This isn’t just a Roblox problem. Not suggesting Roblox shouldn’t have better moderation (holy hell should they) but this isn’t unexpected. Should it be? Maybe. Could they realistically do it? Probably not without some serious vetting changes—changes that would make “experience makers” have to wait to get their games approved.

Lock down the accounts so they can’t see server chat or get messages from randoms. Only allow your (parent) account to add friends. Play with them. Be present, at least somewhat, when they play.

This one I understand. “Cheese pizza” is code for child porn.

It has changed a few minds so far.

I’ll chime in and say that math teachers have said similar things about calculators/graphing calculators for 25+ years. This is most definitely you getting “old”. It’s okay—it happens to all of us.

As far as attention span, that has been an equally common refrain—going back to people complaining that radio has reduced kids attention spans.

Name 10 WW1 Battles

The Battle of the Isonzo?

Okay, that was too easy. That’s on me.

Off the top of my head: Supermarket Simulator and Void Crew. There’s more.

Even then. My mother followed a YouTube video on this including the part where the helpful Indian guy had her download an app and set up a very sketchy VPN.

Yea…

Not really. It takes a lot of experience to sort the legit from the not legit.

“Having problem X? Download the system32.dll fix here!”

Just buy them from the vending machine.

Not really a sim, but def a fan of space games. Void Crew has been great.

Oh, I most definitely love my kids. Seeing their thought processes always makes my day.

But…I’m in exceptional circumstances. My son lost bowel and bladder control 2y ago (tumor on his spinal cord). Had to live in the hospital a year. Took its toll on our now 9yo daughter…

And now, my son is STILL used to being woken up every couple of hours for blood pressure checks and who is also awoken at that point? Yep—me.

I don’t remember the last time I woke up feeling rested.
