@reckless.bsky.social New Decoder question: If the A.I. you created is conscious, is it ethical to force your newborn to murder people at the behest of the United States government?

Legendary Pokémon appears in a pile of used toilets. I spend three days building them an exquisite home based on everything the Pokédex says they love. Pokémon moves in. Their happiness rating plummets. 😕

I am a Ditto whose trainer @heathercampbell.bsky.social vanished. In her absence, I have assumed her identity and her singular mission: To find Trubbish, to facilitate his ascendancy to the throne of Pokopia, and to reshape this forsaken land in his image. All hail Garbageworld.

My gaming PC blew up in 2019. The last console I bought was the PS2. I have never played a Pokémon game. Nevertheless, I acquired a Switch 2 and Pokopia. The world is tearing itself apart and I’m building houses to make pocket monsters happy.

I’ve spent my entire life exploring the limits of game systems and listening to DVD commentaries and reading behind-the-scenes accounts because the intent behind the work is just as fascinating as the work. I will never knowingly spend a dime or a second thought on anyone suckling at the A.I. teat.

Rewatching the “Live at The 10 Spot” Radiohead concert broadcast on MTV the year I graduated high school. The Paramount vultures, having scraped any remaining meat from MTV’s bones, will soon discard it altogether. Feeling rather picked over myself, to be honest. radiohead.com/library/#okc...

I’ve discovered the secret to infinite free money: Switch wireless plans so your bill goes from $115/mo to $30/mo. You can then use “But I’m saving $85 every month!” to justify literally any stupid purchase…forever!

Heard good things about about Marvis Pro, which integrates with your library and Apple Music subscription. One downside is having to install an app named “Marvis Pro”. apps.apple.com/us/app/marvi...

Every Blue Prince player I know loved it until they learned its systems. Once it became apparent how often a perfect run was torpedoed by a bad late-game Random Number Generator roll, the spell was broken. SH2 can get a bit repetitive but is otherwise vibes.

I main PixelMator Pro, although the company was acquired by Apple so I have no idea how long they’ll be around. I’d heard enough great things about Acorn that I bought it when it was on sale but haven’t gotten around to using it.

@siracusa.social I was so tired of Red Dot Syndrome that I created a Shortcut to launch Settings and gave it a transparent PNG of the Settings icon. I imagine the janky animation would bother you as much as the badge itself, but I’m willing to tolerate it.
