Have you tried Butterchurn Visualizer? You need to allow it access to your microphone and play sound through your speakers, but it is one of the better desktop visualizers along with ProjectM on Android.

I see an outline of a QR code in there. How well would that work if someone could just vandalize a single pixel within the code and break it?

This is something that keeps me worried at night. Unlike other historical artefacts like pottery, vellum writing, or stone tablets, information on the Internet can just blink into nonexistence when the server hosting it goes offline. This makes it difficult for future anthropologists who want to study our history and document the different Internet epochs. For my part, I always try to send any news article I see to an archival site (like archive.ph) to help collectively preserve our present so it can still be seen by others in the future.

If there were ever a row between the devs of Lemmy and Beehaw, could they retaliate against us in some manner using the code?

I'm struggling to think of an example of this, but maybe something like forcing a "captcha" before every comment submission that requires you to type in something like "Long Lives Chairman Mao" or something like that. It is clearly antithetical to what Beehaw ascribes, but would be ultimately powerless to stop.

You may not remove or obfuscate either of the TM or ® symbols in the OSI Logo.

Ok completely unrelated. I always use the proper ™ or ® in whatever context it is required whether I'm writing for work or otherwise, even if I have absolutely no stake in the game at all, not working for any of the companies either. Because if I don't then they can lose their trademark.

For example. Suppose I am responding to a post about motor oils in a ~~Reddit~~ Beehaw post, and I mention a fully synthetic motor oil like Mobil 1™. I use their trademark, but I don't use it, endorse it, nor work for Mobil™.

Do I need to do this or is this just an obsessive compulsion of mine? Do other people do this? What's the "right" level of mentioning trademarks without making it seem like I'm a corporate shill?

Yay and not just with "exposure", as is so often the case with artists trying to make a living.

A defining point in Internet history for that matter. This is like the Digg exodus. A paradigm shift in social media. It isn't often that we see mass migrations of Internet users from one platform to another.

This will surely delight future digital anthropologists in their chronological studies of the Internet. We just gotta make sure our archives can last for generations.

Hello future historians!

If enough of us do it, entire comment chains will be illegible lol

Perhaps Prighozhin can go back to owning what all Private Military Company owners did before they went into the mercenary business, catering.

Oh wait, that was only him.

Or at the very least, multithreaded optimized. My frame rates tend to drop dramatically once the traffic bogs down the 1 CPU that it decides to unload all of its pathfinding on.

I remember those classics.

SimAnt, SimEarth, SimTower, SimCopter, Streets of SimCity. Those last two were particularly cool because you could import your SimCity 2000 city into them and fly or drive around in the city you made. I thought that was the coolest thing.

Far Cry 5. It's probably the only game I've played that has the same songs written in totally distinct music styles. Each song, like "We Will Rise Again", is written as:

It's amazing that all three of these songs are the same in lyrics and meaning, but their execution is completely different and had very different emotional feels as a result.

 

In the realm of artificial intelligence (AI), professionals often compare the progress of AI systems to raising a toddler. Similar to how toddlers rely on adults for guidance and education to develop and mature, AI creations like the widely known chatbot phenomenon ChatGPT also depend on human intervention to gain knowledge and communication abilities.

 

Why use pi when you can use 🥧

fn main() {
    let pi_emoji = "🥧";
    let pi_value = 3.1415926535897932384626433832;

    println!("Let {} {:.28}", pi_emoji, pi_value);
}
 

It wants to say "Good evening, may I hold your towel please?"
