They gave Balatro an 18+ PEGI rating, while games with microtransactions/loot boxes can get 3+

wtf

Two tweets from localthunk

Since PEGI gave us an 18  rating for having evil playing cards maybe I should add microtransactions/loot boxes/real gambling to lower that rating to 3  like EA sports FC

This is comedy

The media describing Among Us in context of Luigi, as if it is a new thing, while it has LITERALLY went through 4 cycles of irony as a meme in 2021-2023, and thus is ingrained into every internetgoer's psyche, feels fucking unreal

i just randomly started looking up info on how visas work in NL from when you're outside of the EU, and i'm slowly realising how much we're just taking freedom of movement for granted in the EU, and how much more we should really be treasuring the ability to move between countries

the idea that we're interacting and in the same social sphere as people half across the globe is radical, we're all assuming this is the default state of things, because we're so used to the internet

but the truth is... that state of things *is* radical, and the idea of countries are more solid in the fact that we cant just arbitrarily move across the globe, and those countries have the power to enforce that

and imo we should maybe be more active in asking for more global-spanning freedom of movement treaties, political understandings, etc.

the fact that we - not just on fedi, but everywhere online - can communicate with eachother as if we'd communicate to the person next to us, is radical, in today's world

sure, its normalised, but its not normalised when you consider real-world laws and other social situations, tensions, etc.

compared to that, being able to communicate with them online as equals, was previously only paralleled by *mail*, the relative universality of mail was the previous holdfast of unfettered socialisation without borders, and now the internet has replaced that, and yet the world's institutions hasn't moved closer, not really

@ShadowJonathan @rysiek i have to say that despite half this blog post being about dorsey, he has quit with a hissy fit because he didn't like the existence of moderation and deleted his account

Apple did the research; LLMs cannot do formal reasoning. Results change by as much as 10% if something as basic as the names change.

Orbs don't have off switches. All you can do is cover them up. In that way, they're like RFID chips and cell phone speakers. If Sauron or Big Bro takes them over, you're toast.
