Effective altruism/earning to give like that always bugs me because it feels like a rationalization for just doing whatever exploitative job you like. Points to this dude for being honest about it, I guess. WRT 88s in names from the previous page, Nazis be damned, this is my handle since 2003.

google blob emojis were perfect and the given reason for their elimination was that they viewed the intro of skin tone emojis as as good a time as any to make more standard looking ones. while i think the arguments in favor of skin tone emojis are good and i agree with them i cant help but feel resentful that they helped kill the blob people (with whom i identified more strongly lol)

the blob people were absolutely the high point of emoji design. that era also had the cutest animals. i agree that it's important the depicted emotion is consistent from platform to platform, but you can still do that with the blob men. e.g. in this picture apple and google are emotionally consistent even though google's is a blob, while microsoft didn't quite get it right despite using a circular base.  no idea what samsung is smoking Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 19:34 on May 7, 2021 |

YeGoblynQueenne 1 hour ago [–] The article makes a very strenuous effort to make a point about something something racism in rock that sounds a bit boring and trite to my ears. After all, Bon Scott said it best years ago: In the beginning Back in nineteen fifty five Man didn't know 'bout a rock 'n' roll show And all that jive The white man had the schmaltz The black man had the blues No one knew what they was gonna do But Tchaikovsky had the news (Although, Tchaikovsky? What the...?) What I want to know is why young black Americans, do not, in their majority, do rock anymore. I get that the music industry always tries to control what gets airtime, but who needs the music industry today, and who needed the music industry in the past? If it was for the music industry, nobody would have heard of Jimi Hendrix- a black man with a guitar? That'll never sell! Look at metal and how it took hold. Growing up in Athens, Greece, it seemed like every neighbourhood had a metal band and you would never know by looking at billboards, or even coverage in the metal press (a lackey of the music industry, if there ever was one). Euro kids took Rock from the Americans and ran with it and made something new, all ours, and all working class (see the early years of Sabbath and Priest in Manchester; remember the apocryphal story of Ozzy and Tony having one pair of good shoes between them and wearing them on alternate days to go out). Metal quickly became the authentic popular music of entire generations, without ever any need of mainstream acceptance. Metal grew from below, with no help from above and despite the disdainful snorts of mainstream music critics. So why didn't the black grasroots ever sprout an analogous new rock scene, instead of turning towards the mainstream, big stage, light show, for-profit music that comes from black artists for the last few decades? Why Rihana and Beyonce, rather than a new Jimi Hendrix? Female, even. Why is Rock 'n' Roll pretty much dead to black kids, nowadays? reply

vxNsr 5 minutes ago [–] > Since 14% of renters are behind on rent and evictions begin June 30, aren’t vehicle repossessions going to kick in July / August? > Presumably, due in part to eviction protection, they have been able to divert all or a portion of their rent payments to keeping up with bad car loans for commute vehicles that often will not be needed. There are gonna be far fewer evictions and/or mortgage defaults than people think, all those ppl who have been out of work are likely making more money right now than they were at the start of the pandemic just from unemployment, additionally bec they’re unemployed they may qualify for their states’ Medicaid benefits and food stamps, not to mention the free school lunches than many states have turned into a basically tons of raw produce and other various meal-making materials delivered/picked up each week. All those extra benefits mean the raw unemployment dollars go farther compared to a normal income creating an effectively higher $/hr wage than if you just look at the $300-600/wk(+state unemployment). All this distills down to the fact that everyone has been flush with cash the entire time so much so that I know a few people in March 2020 who were behind on rent but due to all the aforementioned benefits were able to pay the rent they owed. Meaning that people having been making rent and/or mortgage for the most part and have probably been living beyond their (normal) means for the last year. If there’s gonna be any sort of correction it’s not coming until mid-2022 at the earliest. reply

mhh__ 1 hour ago [–] Connected devices are a good thing - i.e. I should be able to make the washing machine scriptable from my computer, but I bet these solutions are always crap because they are implemented in a hurry by engineers who don't understand either the hardware or software well enough to make it work, so you end up with quasi-useless boss-pleasers like we have now. reply

"why only white ppl listen to burzum"

Penisface posted:yeah, although i never felt rap and the associated clothing style is so obviously aggressive-violent when compared to metal (leather, studs, spikes, etc.) Listen to some by the Native Tongues collective. If the only rap and hip hop you know is aggressive that's probably overexposure to popular rap which is descended from gangster rap, which BDP and some other people related to the native tongues collective pushed against at the time (as I understand it?). Like I'm not the be-all and end-all of rap knowledge, but there is some really lovely music in the hip hop scene that you can just put on and relax to. MF Doom's special herbs is a total vibe. Unless.. you're saying rap isn't violent? Absolutely check out gangster rap then. idk. edit: U.N.I.T.Y. by Latifah is still relevant today and fuckin slaps

Neural implant lets paralyzed person type by imagining writing (arstechnica.com) qwertox 1 minute ago It would be interesting to see how people compare in speed, assuming that the technology itself is not a bottleneck. We could directly measure how fast a child thinks, or a CEO vs. a homeless. Eventually we would be able to pinpoint mental problems by measuring the time it takes to think about a certain topic, check if the mind "locks up" for a couple of seconds on a seemingly unrelated topic which got triggered by the context the mind was thinking about. We could pinpoint the unrelated topic and have a base for a psychotherapy which could be more accurate than by just talking around in order to get to know the patient. Let's say a group of 10 have to think out the ordering process at a Starbucks where every step has been provided by a list. An average of 20 seconds is used to do this +- 5 seconds. If there is an outlier, one could start to dig deeper into what exactly is making the mind to wander off. Multiple tests in different scenarios could then decide if the outlier is a slow thinker in general, or if it is a certain thing which triggers this wandering off. reply
