Wandering Adventure Party

In Messages, automatically translate incoming texts, including group messages, and send a response in your preferred language — it’ll be translated when it’s delivered.

I don’t think the Messages team at apple lives in a normal reality. I can’t imagine what kind of scenario I’d be in where I would be texting with someone whom I didn’t already share a language with, and with whom I’d trust some AI translated garbage to speak properly to.

@randomwizard@social.vivaldi.net The first wording requires a secondary inference to understand it's meaning. E.g., one had to add the thought "Higher than <X> means X is no good, I need X+1".

"Roll number or higher" is immediately actionable and does not require any inference. As a result, it is also less susceptible to misoperation. Some people will see the '11' and immediately think 'I need to hit 11' if they do not read the whole thing. Meanwhile, someone can see/hear the '12' and accidentally do the right thing.

@audreygwinter@dice.camp often I stop and think and realize I can word things in a way that have more impact without sweating.

But like you, sometimes I just need to livestream the mindstream.

@yon@sakurajima.moe just a lot of gosh darn self censoring around here, ya know?

You all have permission to say fuck.

It’s probably past due to update opSec. I’m telling anyone starting today that I will no longer have direct political conversations outside of encrypted means. We’ll see how that expands.

Well. Shit. Comic-k just decided to up and shut down.

The hotel staff always seem slightly shocked and vaguely pleased when you ask to use the outgoing mail box service, like you’ve uncovered an Easter egg.

There is not nearly as much swearing on the fediverse as I would expect. This place often makes me feel very foul mouthed.

@chikorita157@sakurajima.moe huh. finally went through it just took a really long time.

@shrew@oomfie.city crows take shiny things from whomever they please and shit on rich people’s cars with impunity. I think they’re on their way.

@ielenia@ck.catwithaclari.net I love mushrooms in food, but they’re also my spirit-plant(ish).

Look at this weird, incredibly hard to identify little existence that just popped inexplicably out of nowhere amidst trash, rot, and general bullshit. It might be delicious; if may also make you see demons.

There but go I, if I were only a fungus.

@yon@sakurajima.moe @invalidname@mastodon.social @fujiwara@sakurajima.moe time is a big dumb circle. Companies used to release year-versioned software (win95, etc). But then they stopped because it created an expectation for a certain release cadence that took control out of companies hands.

…and now we’re going back?

@ielenia@ck.catwithaclari.net I suppose someone had to move into the market after Pepsi exited.

@peachymist@labyrinth.zone I mean I knew who he was, and some of the other snakes in that swamp, but what I was really struck by is that … there is no one like Kirk or others like him that could think of in the leftist space that I knew of. Maybe I’m wrong but the slavish following of talking heads just doesn’t seem to exist in leftist circles to such a degree.

@chikorita157@sakurajima.moe @animeblogging@fedigroups.social I jury just couldn’t subscribe to any groups - the follow request never completed. Guppe had a similar issue at one point. I’ll try again at some future date.

It looks like fedigroups does not work with Sharkey. ​​ I am not sure where to file a bug…

It occurred to me last week that the media is really blind to the fact that GenZ + are not just instagram people, but discord people. 4chan is old news in this space; instead the origin story of almost every instance of these nihilistic meme shooters is in a discord room, meming away.

I’ve said this before, but to many people’s discord is becoming the internet. It’s definitely becoming the engine of right-wing germination.

@ielenia@ck.catwithaclari.net good morning. Please step carefully as you exit the oblivion of sleep. The first step is a doozy.

@yon@sakurajima.moe It's not really building, but I've been playing Little Witch in the Woods, which is on the verge of getting a full release. It's decently chill and pretty cute.

There are quests, and timed quests (fill order by Sunday, and such), but failing them doesn't have consequence. You basically just run around, collect ingredients and things, and make potions to sell and advance to the next area, which advances the loop. In that sense its a little boring, but I still enjoy it as a relaxing game.

@yon@sakurajima.moe I rolled the dice and did it the day before I have to fly. I really don’t want to come home with any funk though, so it’s the most proactive I can be.
