iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Honestly I'd rather customize my character with outfits. Why would I care about the shape of their face?

Man, back in the day Apple had to assert people having problems with the iPhone 4 were just holding it wrong. Now people are just asserting it themselves.

The sensation of food enjoyment is a complex phenomenon. Taste. Aroma. Texture. The way it looks. The human experience. All contribute to what you enjoy when you put food in your mouth. In this case, the shape changes the texture and how much sauce is in any one bite.

So weird. I mean, I know it’s using an iPhone chip, but I was so sure the M-series chips were just beefed up A-series chips. Honestly there’s a reason a lot of devs just give up on native and do everything with web technologies 😭

Out of the games I play, that is. Pac-Man World 2 Re-Pac, Will You Snail, West of Loathing, Trees Hate You, Battle for Bikini Bottom. Box Critters and Hedgehog Creek are web games, so no download there. Interesting that MacBook Neo gives devs so much trouble. I’m on M1 MacBook Pro.

Honestly the primary reason I don’t game on PC anymore is because I really don’t want to install Steam on a machine I use for productive work. Most of the games I want to play are only on Steam. These days I primarily game on Nintendo Switch 2 and iPhone. I rarely use my Steam Deck.

I mean Windows and Chrome OS essentially ship with Chrome, and most Mac users also use some form of Chrome. You're basically already catering to 85% of the market just by building for Chrome. It's the iOS users who will be a problem... but most websites already suck on mobile on purpose anyways.

Yes, the constitution. The supreme law of the land. It's a real document, one that the judge agrees was violated when the department repeatedly dragged the family out at gunpoint and searched their household with full knowledge of the harassment. Department policy does not supersede the law.

コツ・マルカス「Marcus Kotsu」 @kotsu.red · 30/09/2026

I did read the article. The facts do not support your conclusion. The department knew this house is a target for harassment, and chose to do nothing to maintain the family's safety, their constitutional protection against unreasonable searches, and their right to private enjoyment.

Believe it or not, they don’t have to force their way into the household and drag everybody out when dealing with a known swatting target. Try actually watching the video. Look at them threatening to kick the door down. Other police stations have figured out how to modify their response just fine.

Even if AI can handle vague prompts these days if set up properly, once thing that will never change is that someone needs to tell it WHAT to do. You want it to fix bugs? It needs to know what constitutes a bug. It needs to know what behaviors are intended.

Luckily, we're probably not going to see the same thing with AI image generation. It's just too obvious when it's used. Businesses are eventually gonna have to realize it's more profitable to just have a human make the art. AI images will eventually be relegated to making low-effort memes.
