Next: find out about our clock AI features! You'd think "what does a clock need AI for?" Well we thought about it too but we figured it! Take the tour!

* This clock will track your use of time, all the time, even when you are wasting it.

* We may withdraw time without notice. You are responsible for saving your own time.

* We do not guarantee that time will move forward at a constant rate in the fourth dimension. Back-up your clock to avoid disorientation.

* We may switch your time to an alternative dimension without notice.

* Time may stop at any, er, time."

props to whatever nintendo person smoked a big weed & was like "what if you made a game where you use the CONSOLE to control the CONTROLLER"

one of the nintendo labo thingies, two hands hold a switch console with no joy cons & a cardboard 'antenna' while both joy cons are attached to a cardboard thingy in a way where it would move if they vibrate

@chrisisgr8 I love Labo so much. Labo was Nintendo showing up to the Met Gala in greasemonkey coveralls to remind everyone where she came from.

seems like Nintendo makes cool shit and still somehow has the nerds, gamers and geeks still holding sway. In a world of enshitification they seem to consistently make good stuff

silicon valley VCs' best ideas of the 2020s:
-put a drone on something
-wrongness generator 3000 (uses more energy than a small nation)
-fraud
-space pollution
-self-crashing cars
-an app that is actually criminally underpaid workers in another country
-an app that is actually criminally underpaid workers in this country
-fascism
-vrchat but it cost 20x to make and it fucking sucks
-layoffs

i like how "illegal in the EU" means it probably violated a human right and "illegal in florida" means it probably is a human right

@chrisisgr8 As others have noted with pointed examples, that's not entirely true. At least not right now.

Hopefully, we can get both jurisdictions to the point where "illegal" = violates human right(s). If we're careful, lucky and brave enough...it might even happen in our lifetimes.

@chrisisgr8 so, this is how I learn that the EU bans saving drowning migrants

hot covid minimizing fuck, apparently an osha emergency standard submitted to joe biden had stated that covid "presents a grave danger in every shared workplace in the United States" and then revised it, on joe's request, to only be about health care workers

@chrisisgr8 that’s just depressing. I would like to know the exact moment when all leadership collectively gave up. Like, was there some data that they looked at and were like, “yeah, we’ll never beat this, so we’re not gonna try.” Or did they all decide the economic cost was too high? I have trouble buying that it was the economic argument because sure, maybe in the short term there some selfish economic benefit to pretending it all away, but I feel like the long term damages are just unfathomable. “Hey, that’s cool you didn’t die, sucks about the whole not being able to do your job anymore because of long covid though”
