A good way to tell the difference between a bee and a wasp is hair. Bees are fluffy like a cute little dog. Wasps are hairless and cruel like my father, who I become more like every time I look in the mirror.

Ah I use Sync for Lemmy as my main client which sometimes just does this to long vertical images.

It’s normally a long image thing. Because this is multiple full resolution images stitched together vertically, the hosting site compresses it’s dimensions, even if it’s not that large of a file.

If you’re like me and this image is too compressed to read, here’s the tumblr link.

The game is least forgiving in the first few days, after that, it really opens out into people remembering the choices you’ve made in the game. Even if you’ve still been making bad choices, it’s pretty fun from there.

It’s reasonably safe to Google, it’s about this letter where the FBI encourage Martin Luther King Jr. to commit suicide, using particularly abusive, dehumanising and degrading language. The content of the letter isn’t necessarily hard to read the if you want to read it, particularly as it didn’t work, but it’s still bad to know that this was an official government plot.

Oh man I didn’t actually know about this, it’s enormously fucked up and absolutely unsurprising.

I remember doing this on Reddit Sync years ago by combining this option,

Settings shortcut: History > Mark posts as read on scroll 

With something like this option,  

Settings shortcut: General > FAB action  

Set the FAB to hide read posts. The main difference to how I had it working in the past is that with this, you must use the floating action button to periodically purge this content, where as I’m sure I had it working automatically before.

Indie also covers an enormous financial area. People generally group games into AAA, Some nebulous middle ground games that are generally produced by the major studios but aren’t AAA and Indie.

There is a difference between indie games that sell millions of copies vs dozens and this lack of discrepancy makes this complex. I once pirated a game called infernium after seeing a friend play it on switch, then learnt that it’s an absolutely tiny game by a solo developer. I happened to adore the level design and lore of that game so much that I bought it on steam and then bought all of his other games too just to support him.

On the flipside, we refer to a game like Hades as indie. I love supergiant games and have purchased all their titles but I would have felt zero remorse at pirating Hades.

Maybe the only thing that I feel is sad in all of this is that the massive AAA games takes years to be cracked nowadays, which means only indie games are pirateable. I don’t like the unfair dichotomy this creates. There are probably a reasonable amount of people who pirate indie games and buy AAA games for this reason, and that’s bad for industry.

You gotta pretend it’s slipped out and you didn’t wanna make that noise. That’s the killer.

I get so deeply sad when I remember this story that it actually puts me off the meme, what a horrible way to go.

Yeah I absolutely do not miss snagging my headphone cable on every door or drawer handle in a 1 mine radius. Also I think I used to go through 3-4 sets of headphones a year by wearing out the cable, spending the last few weeks precariously holding the cable 24/7 to enjoy the music.

Wireless does have it’s issues but I’m on my 2nd wireless pair, both bought in the £30 region and it’s probably been 5+ years since I used wired now. Battery hasn’t been an issue really, and although I lost one headphone on my previous wireless set, I can live with it.

I absolutely support the want for a headphone jack so people can choose wired, but I’d still choose wireless.

The development of the meta of the meme became adding him to more and more outrageous hiding spots, which isn’t really captured on knowyourmeme.

I think this works because it’s a surprisingly good hiding spot because he sort of blends in to the aesthetic of the image, but is silly for obvious reasons to anyone who’s tried hiding inside a forearm.

Also the fact that he was snuck into images like this makes his appearance come with a sort of “gotcha” moment, a little like recognising Loss or similar memes. The humour is for people who’ve seen it before, but not for a while, who go “haha mouse… Oh goddammit” when they see it.

The third one down almost certainly intentionally has the numbers 14 and 88 as a reference to a nazi dog whistle.

I can’t decide if this makes it more likely to be satire or less.

Yarr that be true matey.

Jumped out? What happens to the plane?

I’m pretty sure it just says 'boy one’s, no idea how the e ended up like that.

Yeah I really doubt streaming would change anything to 4:3.

Disney+ famously changed classic Simpsons to 16:9 and in the process, cropped enough to make some visual gags not work, but I can’t imagine them preferring 4:3 over 16:9.

Which is exactly the kind of tactic both someone with an intelligence of -1 or 255 would think of.

Hell yeah I should have said that really. My friend has an embroidery machine and we use inkstitch for inkscape to do that.

I don’t really move between lightroom, inkscape and Photoshop often but I do move between premier pro, after effects and audition often enough via the way they embed into eachother, and I presume there is similar functionality between those. This helps cement me using something like audition over audacity just because I’m trained on premier pro and don’t wanna retrain on DaVinci Resolve.
