there are moral arguments against the death penalty in its ideal form but in real life you never need to get there. the prior question is "can the state be trusted to end the life only of the rightly convicted without torture?" and the answer is no

Guy had to go to the cape, lock in the timing of the line, and then had exactly one try to get it right. Like, yeah there was *a* tool to help him... but that's still not a cakewalk.

If my tinnitus could simply *not* start acting up when I boot the Witcher 3 remaster for the first time hoping to actually enjoy my evening, that'd be great.

I'm categorized as an AI subscriber, because I'm subscribed to the 3 TB tier of Google Drive and and they literally just changed the name of the plan to "Google AI Plus." Those "AI subscriber" numbers are 100 percent juiced and phony, and you're a sucker if you believe otherwise.

but I don't seem to have the new UI stuff. I'm in alpha skip-ahead. System console info shows 10.0.26100.9613 (xb_flt_2610ge.260924-2200)

Is it possible there's a backend flag that needs to flip before this goes live? The insider app shows this in the release notes and the version appears to align with what's installed (there's formatting differences between the release notes vs the version in settings, but it's just remixed strings)

Would someone please help me understand the mindset of people who start a text conversation by saying "hi" and then don't add anything else for minutes, sometimes hours? Your "hi" will only ever annoy me. I can do nothing with it. By the time your *actual* message rolls in, I'll have moved on. Why?

Scrubs isn't even on here. The Office is near the top. I do not respect this list.

I can't even cancel Disney+ myself. The subscription is "managed through Verizon" so the pages says to go through them to cancel it. And uhhh... yeah that's super duper not my problem and I don't have a relationship with Verizon anymore, so

Stryker can has @stryker.strykatz.dev · 23/09/2026

No, I'm not being charged. My Verizon account is gone, and there are no charges from Disney or Verizon on any payment method I use since I switched. I'm just a ghost in the machine, with free access that seems to never expire attributed to a relationship that doesn't exist.

Stryker can has @stryker.strykatz.dev · 23/09/2026

At the risk of ending my free ride... it's deeply funny to me that these massive companies are just so bad at basic business that I *still* have access to Disney+ Premium through Verizon despite having moved off Verizon *years* ago.

Genuinely hard to say which one flipped the switch. Battle Chess was my intro to "wait, you can games on computer?" but Maniac Mansion and Myst really locked in that games could be super engaging.

A screenshot of Battle Chess, a 5-1/4" floppy era game with the pieces rendered as characters that would walk between spaces and have unique animations for each type of capture. A blue pawn is attempting to kick a pink knight right in the junk.

A screenshot from Maniac Mansion, a side-scrolling classic adventure game. Ed (a strange teal-skinned, bespectacled man wearing what looks like military cosplay) is standing on the porch of a house yelling at Dave, a super generic player character in jeans and a jean jacket. "Now get out of here!"

A screenshot from the main island of Myst. A model ship floats in a small pool in the foreground. A path leads straight from it to a small classic revival building with four columns flanking a dark wood door. Lining the path, set back several feet to either side are freestanding columns with strange mechanisms in front of them, facing the path.

I woke up because of a dream where Nera put her paw up the feeder and hurt it, and was making a *weird* yowl like it was broken (somehow... there's no way the feeder is that strong, and the confusion about what happened only made it worse). The fuck did the sandman have against cats last night?

of the games that regularly show up in there, and the list is usually LONG. But hey, I can add "hide this game" checkboxes, save a list of games want hidden, then filter out all games from that list forever. Much easier to see which drops campaigns are running now!

Stryker can has @stryker.strykatz.dev · 18/09/2026

I have dozens of userstyles hiding junk content (not just ads!) on sites I go to regularly. I have literally hundreds of userscripts to add missing functionality. One example: Twitch has "drops" campaigns that unlock content in games you play just for watching streams. I have zero interest in many

Cannot overstate this. It's like carpentry for the web. If you know carpentry and are willing to put in the effort, you can tweak your home how you like it. If you know frontend, same idea for the web. Similar gotchas too (if you're not as good as you think, it can turn into A Problem).

"Predictions of future actions by the Board in response to being told no therefore cannot concern the Court." That's the fanciest way I've seen someone tell someone else their tantrum isn't going to work (recently, anyway).

Like, it's fine to not know who he is (big fan of "one of the 10,000" here), but all that means about a person is *that they don't know who he is*. The smugness is bizarre.

A good chunk of my job lately is blocking shitty generated code from being merged because I know how this shit works and can find problems that my peers *should* be finding before submitting it for review. I'm not particularly good, even. LLMs are just absolute shit at this.

Offer it in a form that's viable, and people might not want to adopt it but they'll only grumble when you twist the knobs to make it more expensive. Offer it in a nonviable form to get broad adoption, then rug pull like this when the loss leading hurts too much? Oooh, now you've got a revolt.

Stryker can has @stryker.strykatz.dev · 06/09/2026

I agree with the overall theme here, but I see one point a little differently. This was always the only way game streaming would ever be economically viable. Offering game streaming without time restrictions in the first place was what was ill conceived.

One place I used to work moved us from the second floor (our window did not face the lot) of one location to the *basement* of another... in a neighboring town. To be fair, the basement was *much* bigger so we got bigger desks, a second monitor each, and cabinets and stuff... which was nice.

"Publishers[1] chasing digital audiences[2] is a tale perhaps as old as time" [1] a concept that's been around for less than two thousand years (or ~6000 if you're really generous with interpreting the definition) [2] general purpose computing (let alone "digital audiences") is around 50 years old
