Wait, that’s illegal, I’m calling the cyber police!

Spherical geometry - good times…

Yep, it’s a triangle. You can also make one with three right angles on a sphere!

Come visit academia some time… Copyright laws ensure we do all the work and get nothing in return;)

I rather think the point is being missed here. Copyright is already causing huge issues, such as the troubles faced by the internet archive, and the fact academics get nothing from their work.

Surely the argument here is that copyright law needs to change, as it acts as a barrier to education and human expression. Not, however, just for AI, but as a whole.

Copyright law needs to move with the times, as all laws do.

Ah, I see we’re burning the Library of Alexandria again… Just as with last time, the survival of texts will rely upon copies.

I dunno about a fun game to play, but it’s a really neat way to explore Markov chains!

Downgraded from a 1 to a 2 due to vacation. Might turn into a 7 if woken up too early during this period.

Control panel largely accrued content - it is generally navigated via left and right click which works great and is stable. Things don’t vanish.

Settings, on the other hand, is left click only navigation mostly. It also changed constantly (usually for the worst) - tutorials written 2 years ago are no longer valid because access to that setting was removed. This makes using settings to fix things a real nightmare.

Well, next time I need to fart while lecturing I know what I’m doing…

1. Employment - you currently have 0 social encumbrance. It’s a good time to job hop and move around, you meet a lot of people and learn a lot of social cues. Also better job gives more money for gaming.

2. Stop looking; the dating world post 30 is absolutely horrific, and it will destroy your mental health. The people in there are not all that bad, but the online dating scene brings out the worst in everyone. Time to explore the wilds and visit local cafes (worst comes to worst, you get good tea/coffee).

3. The type of people you meet varies with the type of game you play. If it has “more tits than a birdwatcher’s photobook”, you’re not going to meet many women. If it’s a wholesome online farming sim that ratio changes, but it’s still rough as a guy. Games are great for meeting people, but not for meeting lovers.

4. At the end of the day, when the loneliness bites hard, don’t be afraid to call a hotline for help.

5. Ok, ready for the big one? Stop looking for a partner and start looking for friends - the kind of people you can sit in a cafe with, or complain about work with. Guys, girls or those in between; doesn’t matter. The thing that helped me most was making a few good friends who I still travel over a hundred miles to meet monthly, and who I game with weekly online.

Edit - pressed submit early

Yes and no; I’ve met some people who were great to date but hell to live with.

A good relationship starts with both people knowing what they want - and continual contact helps determine if the other person is being honest about what they want. Post 35/30, this process is often a lot faster, and dating skill matters less than ability not to annoy the person you’re suddenly around 24/7.

If it matches from the start, or a compromise grows, you’re in for a winner. Otherwise, back to the sea of the undead you go, no matter how good your dating skill!

Intention and reality are two different things - although I can’t say I ever managed casual dating for 2 years! Usually most folks are in a relationship after 1.

I think it goes further than that - post 35 (post 30 really) there is a lot more pressure to shift from casual dating to a relationship at a faster pace.

Life experience talking here too, it isn’t just “being upfront”, it’s also being willing to move at a faster pace.

The real secret to dating after 35 - don’t.

Folks are not looking to “date”: they’re after long term commitment OR quick hook ups. The middle ground really vanishes when you get older!

I read this article title as “Top 11 ways to get your entire IT department to ragequit”.

Whatever you do, don’t post a link to that article to Archive.ph!

Seriously, it harms rich people by not letting them sell your data.

Fun UK fact - we use a different ranking system for lecturers:

Lecturer Senior Lecturer Reader Professor

That means, at some point, someone has been a “Reader in X at Reading”.

I only wanted to triforce.

Now I need to fix dad’s laptop before he gets home!

I mean, as long as there is a hard copy archive option out there this is ok (cloud is already flirting with copyblight).
