The dumbest Rechenmaschine you ever knew
Not a friend of AI | Forced to use Premiere+AE but yearns for Resolve |
In my GIF era

Still proud of my dumb little GIF project tbh. No AI needed, human stupidity is enough to turn a 1MB GIF into taking up 13MB or more when it is loaded.
At some point I will need to learn some frameworks and whatnot, but it is good to know what I can do already without any of that stuff.

Banquet For Fools does something I love: it has a demo you can play to get a basic feel for the game (ca 2 hours long). Played it today and the game went to my wishlist immediatly after; just gotta finish some other games first before I dive into another big rpg

I am once again tapping the "Your language specifications should allow for comments" sign, louder than before because I have to deal with markdown atm where whitespace stuff is an added bonus issue I do not like.

Whoever at yoututbe had the idea of allowing AI generated voices on ASMR videos (or in general), I hope their socks get wet more often than normal.

Only a boilerplate answer which is unsatisfying but at least I got something in writing now For all the law degrees in government you would think they are capable of realizing a law is dumb when they are about to pass it. "Well the text theoretically says X but we are simply ignoring that" aint it

Vance having a book come out about his way into catholicism would be best underlined with him getting excommunicated. tbh I do not know if Codex Iuris Canonici allows excommunication for threats against the pope; it does for violence though; never looked into that when I was still part of the church

Trump posted genocide threats on main and the political reaction over here has been more or less 'let's wait and hope he doesn't mean it'. And if Trump does follow up on the threats or not there will be no consequences here either, because why should we actually have values?

This is the current front page on the german tagesschau webpage. "Germany keeps still and hopes" because there is no way our politicians could actually tell the USA that their actions will have direct consequences with us. Like we could only do something if the USA actually nuke another country.

In Korea, when the president declared martial law after midnight and erected barricades in Seoul, congressional reps from all parties ran into the streets, yanked ak47s from the army at the barricades, broke down the locked door to Congress, repealed the martial law order, and arrested the president

OK y'know what? I have been slacking on this. Lemmie rattle off my favorite things I've made and would like others to consider giving me some attention (and optionally money) for:

It is important to shape your propaganda to the intended audience. Americans on Twitter are used to Trump rants and irony poisoned subtweets, so that is the shape communication towards them takes.

They should give me like 1 million bucks for propaganda. And then I would simply not do anything with it besides buying a bilboard that just reads "This thing is so good, they gave me 1 million bucks to promote it", feels like this could be as effective as the average ad-campaign.

It's always a werid day when you have to write an email to your government. Doubly so when it is to the ministry of defence because of some very dumb thing that really should not need an email but probably does. Gonna see next week if I get a good answer, or get visited by not so humorous people.

While I need to make the example GIFs smaller, my post about the heart of how GIFs keep themselves so thin, the LZW algorithm, is now online.

I may have left the thing laying around a bit and tbh either I put it out as is or it will never be done; it is a bit more meandering than I would like tho.

Now that Habermas is dead we no longer have to pretend that "Der zwangloser Zwang des besseren Arguments" ever meant anything.

Any type of formal language (be it programming or other), has not excuse not to have comments.

GIFs are around for such a long time that there really is no reason for why not all of their features are fully supported by browesers and other display software.

Passing changes to a law, and not having any processes ready to go for handling the situation post-change, is such clownery. I wonder how long until I get to read some conspiracy angle on the thing.

I don't know if I am missing something, but this change in the law looks not intended because of what conseqeunces it could have in practice. And if it was intended, whomever introduced it should be hoisted by their nose hair.

Any student who wants to go abroad for a semester, even to another EU country, would need a permit. Anyone wanting to make use of the Schengen Area to maybe live across the border in austria for a while, while working in germany, would have to get a permit.

Amongst other things, there does not seem to be a process for the permits yet, and there is no real reason that anyon asking for one would not get it. But in practical political terms, this is fucked up.

Here is the Frankfurter Rundschau writing about the change but I have seen some people on the interwebs noting the change in early february.

Mind you that this option of needing a permit existed before, but it was restricted to be only applicable in special cirumstances; like if the parliament says we are close to needing military defenses of germany. Now it just seems to always be on.

lmao a change in germany's military service law is getting noted by the press. Turns out that one of the changes made last year means that, in theory, every german male living in germany above the age of 17 (and below 45) needs a permit if they want to leave the country for more than 3 months.
