I heard that song today on my way to get cat food. Hadn't heard it in a long time and #LouReed's voice sounded so familiar and soothing.

You have to allow people to fail. If you push too early, too hard for the correct solution, their ego will always remember this and make them bring up their stupid idea again at the most inconvenient time. #offk

I bought a large white rectangle that's supposed to emit light in the human visible spectrum, once properly installed. If my cat doesn't find a way to lie on it somehow. #offk

#Commodore-Anzeige für die "New Art" Limited Edition des #Amiga 500 Modells von 1989, welche in einer Version mit breiten Tiger-Streifen kam, sowie in einer Rechenpapier-plus-Springbälle-Version. Beide designed von #StefanieTücking, anscheinend beeinflusst durch die bunten geometrischen Muster des Italienischen Memphis-Stils, der die 1980er durchzog. #MemphisMilano #offk

@Ttubretep #offk *record scratch* You might wonder how I ended up in this situation. It all began when I had to cross a river and didn't have a dime on me to pay the ferryman who said that's alright.

The #Nightshade download for Windows was a 2.48GB zip archive. It took about 12h to download from https://nightshade.cs.uchicago.edu/downloads.html due to their lack of bandwidth. It would have been wise to distribute this as a torrent.
Upon starting the program it downloaded several more GB of resources. When it was finished I created a 7zip archive of the whole thing that compressed down to 1.35GB.
I ran a 302kb image through the program and got a more than triple size 995kb "poisoned" pic that looks the same. #offk

I successfully upgraded an Ubuntu installation today. I feel ready to tackle climate change now.

Bought a classy magazine to entertain me on vacation. Which story should I read first and why is it the one about the stupid girlfriend?
EDIT: It was entertaining enough, like a Bravo-Love story, but a bit short on the sex. #offk

@thewritertype Number one reason why not to write to your future self: You might have become a jaded interstellar bounty hunter who cannot relate to her own hopeful encouraging past self. #offk

Saw this thrown out on the street here in #Cologne and was #tempted to pick it up. Maybe to put a Steamboat Willie Mickey Mouse in there?That would have been funny for 5 minutes. :lulu: #offk

@sidereal There are dozens of ways to solve a #TrolleyProblem in any real life situation. But the kind of people who like to pose trolley problems are never happy hearing a solution. Because despite what they say, they don't actually care about saving people. They want you to fail because it would justify their own bad decisions and inside the box thinking. #KobayashiMaru #NoNoWinScenarios #offk

This is the intro of Orson Welles planned debut movie, which was meant to become an adaption of Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" in 1939. The film was never realized and Citizen Kane became his debut instead. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_of_Darkness#Radio_and_stage #offk

@bmacDonald94 If I could name a genre of cheap shallow pseudo-radical self-congratulatory mainstream propaganda masquerading as art, I'd name it Banksy. Or Minions. I actually haven't decided yet. #offk

Roger Ebert has been dead for 10 years, but it feels like he's there whenever I look into a movie I plan to watch, subtly complaining about my mediocre taste and preference for formulaic romcoms. #offk

waiting for shaders to get built for #TheLastOfUs Pt.1... dum di dum
Reading that there's not going to be a multiplayer version of this game suits me fine, I prefer single player games anyway.
Shaders still building... that's going to take 20 minutes I guess. I should have checked for driver updates beforehand, lest I have to rebuild these shaders again shortly.
OTOH this is strangely familiar. Waiting for games to load could take a cigarette length back on the #Amiga.

I remembered an article today about the nature of consciousness, that I read a few years back. The theory was that consciousness is our ability to observe other people and deduce their motivations - aimed at ourself. Of course we have privileged access to our senses and mental images. But consciousness is always a post hoc interpretation of what we we did and felt. A narrative we tell ourselves about our self.

"As nearly as possible in the spirit of Matthew Salinger, age one, urging a luncheon companion to accept a cool lima bean, I urge my editor, mentor and (heaven help him) closest friend, William Shawn, genius domus of The New Yorker, lover of the long shot, protector of the unprolific, defender of the hopelessly flamboyant, most unreasonably modest of born great artist-editors to accept this pretty skimpy-looking book." #JDSalinger #offk
