I just noticed Deque changed its logo from the combined ‘D’ and ‘Q’ letterform (visually representing the pronunciation) to the ‘AI’ anus (or “AInus”) of the big LLM purveyors.
I bet this was for Deque’s 100% WCAG ‘AI’ coverage, which must be getting released today to honor its March promise.

• 60 out of 100 times it’ll “sync” and freeze with all 4 LEDs on. The Wii U does a little beep but doesn’t show the controller and no inputs work.
• 38 out of 100 times the same thing will happen but with all LEDs off
  • You need to remove the batteries in order to take the wiimotes out of these states
• 2 out of 100 times the wiimotes actually connect, but show with 1 battery bar and almost no inputs go through (and the ones that do are extremely laggy, except for the power button)
  • The manual states that if this happens you can remove the batteries, wait 3 minutes and connect (without syncing) again. That does fixes it sometimes, but it really only worked once for each wiimote.
  • A truly successful connection only happens after the “low battery one”, and even then it seems to be hard to achieve for the first time.
    • Afterwards you’re supposed to be able to reconnect without syncing and then not encounter the issues anymore. That was true for the pink wiimote, but the blue wiimote had to be synced again. I spent quite a few hours trying and wasn’t able to get a successful connection.
    • If you connect the pink wiimote that was working when the other wiimote is in the 4 LEDs freeze state it’ll break the connection of the other one and make you need to sync it again
      • Now none of my aliexpress wiimotes are synced and idk when I’ll be able to sync them again

60 years ago tonight, the merry pranksters' first informal acid test, held at ken babbs's place outside santa cruz, where the grateful dead did not play (& all purported flyers are almost certainly fake). below text from dennis mcnally's bio & i wrote about it for the 50th.

So, what do I love about #NoMansSky?
This picture shows where you have followed a clue correctly, but in the wrong place.
All those little ball terminals?
Messages left from other players getting you on right path (and saying “hi”) Behind them? Someone built a base to help you get back.
Pretty cool

Bears still looking for more after statement win over Eagles: 'We haven't hit our pinnacle' https://www.nfl.com/news/bears-still-looking-for-more-after-statement-win-over-eagles-we-haven-t-hit-our-pinnacle

Students on the campus where I work oppose Ontario Bill 33 - the Orwellian titled "Supporting Children and Students Act." Among other things, the bill would require universities to admit only on merit (though it provides no definition) and would allow the province to decide which fees are required and which are optional, which would undercut student unions, newspapers, and radio as well as some financial support for students.

#Klanglicht #Graz:
Station 14 Dreifaltigkeitskirche: ich mag Fassadenlichtspiele. Aber die Installation hatte Null Bezug auf die Fassadenelemente der Kirche und wirkte auf mich wie exakt ein Bildschirmschoner von Windows 3.1 den man auf beliebige Objekte loslassen kann.

Dear USians,
How about you don’t call a Middle Eastern guy “white” and go on to tell him he’s “no better than any other oppressor we encounter” simply for trying to warn his Palestinian friends to not take any unnecessary risks and to be careful on Mastodon?
Also, apparently Divya has blocked me for this, which sucks because it has made it impossible for me to keep boosting her fundraiser, which you should, of course, still follow and support (link below).
I’m not going to …

We are going to open all of these presents RIGHT NOW!

From Bill McKibben
The tsunami of tech spilling from China’s factories has changed the country’s energy landscape—and its physical one, too. For decades China’s development was synonymous with coal, which produced choking air pollution and massive carbon emissions, still greater than those of all other developed nations combined. Now, solar panels carpet deserts and the high, sunstruck plateau of Tibet, and wind turbines up to 300m tall guard coastlines and hilltops
