• 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

if you believe that every person — regardless of skin colour, political orientation, or immigration status — has the right to safety and due process, will you sign the petition calling on Canada to stand up to Trump and end the Safe Third Country Agreement now?

Stand up to Trump: End the Safe Third Country Agreement
Sign the petition calling on Canada to end the Safe Third Country agreement, and reopen legal pathways for those who seek asylum at our borders.

I was just thinking about how the fact that #Musk named his AI "Grok" is evidence that he "reads sci-fi" in the same way he "plays video games." Like, he claims to do it but when it comes time to show the evidence it's clear he does not actually "grok" it.
Like... To grok something is to have a layer deeper than simply knowledge, but mathematically encoding statistical relationships between words is pretty obviously not even understanding much less qualifying as "groking" it. In the book, the ability to grok something is also the ability to annihilate that thing with a thought. Just pretending that an LLM actually *was* something that could become AGI (which it's not), this name would imply the AI would have the power to annihilate reality. That's bad. That's a bad name for an AI.
And why would a greedy fascist name something of his after something an anarchist communist space Jesus taught to the hippie cult he started? There are so many layers of facepalm to this. It's some kind of php-esque fractal of incompetence.
Like, there's no reason to talk about this but my brain does this to me sometimes and now it's your problem.

Finally some details - missing at the presser - about the ESA ministerial's decisions: #Apophis. Also the big Argonaut lunar lander has a first mission, but the actual payload isn't mentioned yet.

Yo creo que a cierta edad hay que superar esa idea que te hace creer que solo la música que tú escuchas es la buena y que eso te da una especie de superioridad intelectual frente al resto.

And people keep being suprised by the regular genocides that *keep fucking happening*. And yes, call what ICE is doing what it is. It is a gencoide. Even if it's not killing millions of people (yet), the "genocide" doesn't mean "killing logs of people" it means "trying to wipe out a specific ethnic, racial, or religious group." What the fuck is ICE trying to do? They're carrying out ethnic cleansing. It's genocide.
Genocide in Gaza, genocide in Syria, genocide in Turkey, China, Ethiopia, Rwanda, Serbia... why the fuck does it keep happening? I'll tell you why. It's states.
People like to think of countries and ethnic reagions as the same thing, but they aren't. They never have been. There's never been clear divisions between ethnic groups. But the existence of the state depends on a shared identity. When the truth is more complicated, the state must find a way to fix that. The solution is genocide. You can't separate the two. There can be no state without genocide. The mechanism to carry ou the kind of mass murder and the incentive to do so are really not easy to put together without the state. The state makes genocide viable, and the state demands genocide to protect it's own existence.
Every election is a dice roll. Every state is on a clock, waiting for the luck to run out. And the worst people possible are just waiting for their chance to win and carry out those genocides in order to lock in their power.
Never again means nothing unless you are attacking the root of genocide: the state.
