Took some springtime photos with a comically great lens and, reader, if I were sitting at my desk rather than standing, I’d be falling out of my chair #photography
Maxx Crosby to Raiders Fans After Ravens Trade Snafu: 'I'm A Raider. I’m Back' https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/maxx-crosby-raiders-fans-after-ravens-trade-snafu-im-raider-im-back
If Alito steps down (My feeling is that he deserves to be thrown out) then the Senate D's should refuse to confirm any Cheato nominated successor.
Better to let the SCOTUS seat stay empty rather than have yet another trump sycophant.

Hardcore mode is..hard 😭 #DiabloII

I have basically mildly positive feelings about Gemini Nano being available in Chrome. I don't use Chrome, but lots of stuff should be done on-device, not off. That's a win.
If "software shouldn't have features i don't like" is the argument you're actually making, that's not really a good argument. Even when the feature is an LLM model.
"Chrome is getting big and bloated and we can do better” is absolutely a good argument you can make.
And then the real kicker: Google pushing the web platform around through dominance is just the real ick here. It's the same sort of thing monopoly power enables. Companies that own verticals in the economy or a product market can dictate rather than negotiate. This is, in general, bad. Google does this, not because the ideas its employees put forward are good, but because they work out to be in Google's interests. And those interests can run counter to the rest of the world.
That's what we have to push back on.
Rather than pursue the Constellation missions in Starfield, I've built a giant yellow cargo ship called "Trotters Independent" and am flying it between unsettled systems attempting to offload absolute trash to vendors.
"I took the German or Autistic diagnostic. Results: probably autistic. Wittgenstein would have gotten the same result."
Also I'm fucking angry that the test said it would take 2 minutes, when it took me 12!

One of my VR Lighthouses died last month. These things are gyroscopically spinning 24 hours a day for, what, a decade now? Nearly.
No wonder. Mostly the industry seems to be settling on using head-mounted cameras rather than sweeping infra-red beams and receptors on the head anyway.
It is true that lighthouses give accurate positioning, but means I can't easily take the headset next door, say. Or to a party.
So inside-out, as they call it, is fine for the headset now and mostly okay for the hand-controllers.
But it offers no solution at all for the foot-trackers and hip-tracker that I need for puppetting the characters in the #vr #slimeVR #trackers
I would have written the following headline rather differently:
Original: "Top National Symphony Leader Quits in New Blow to Kennedy Center"
My rewrite: "Top National Symphony Leader Takes Notes"
