This sucks! I *vastly prefer* going into my actual office, where I have a real desk and 2 monitors and 0 toddlers banging on my door to ask for a reward because they pooped in the potty

@KubeWhelan Lol, didn't realize that! Should have contracted out the menu system for Elden Ring :)

[Chris Whelan @chriswhelan1]

@KubeWhelan I just tried the PS5 remake of Demon's Souls for the first time and it's... demonstrably better in every way (tutorial and menu system). Makes Elden Ring design choices seem even weirder.

[Chris Whelan @chriswhelan1]

@KubeWhelan Yeah, it does feel very thematic. You instantly know you're in a souls game from the moment it loads. I hate it though, there are things about 90s games that it's ok to leave behind. I want a difficult gaming experience, not a difficult menu system...

[Chris Whelan @chriswhelan1]

@KubeWhelan It is, but you have to figure "drop offs" is something pretty baked into their games. If you don't drop off due to a missed tutorial, there's plenty of other reasons you'll drop off soon enough.

@ClaudiaCalhoon @pmgentry Woman running down the subway stairs as the C train is about to close its doors, shouts to people on the platform: "E train?"

Person replies, "C!"

Woman gets on the C train and as the doors close says, "Gracias."

the feeling of forwarding an email you have been accused of not sending is probably the same as winning a duel

If centralized marketplaces can flag & block “stolen” NFTs—effectively delegitimizing the ledger—then what’s the point of the blockchain?

The end state of decentralized protocols will likely be the same system we have today: banks reversing transactions they deem illegitimate.

@KubeWhelan The fact you've posted this here makes me even more suspicious of foul play tbh

Apparently Signal now has a donation-via-subscription option within the app. (Interestingly, not using App Store payments as far as I can tell?)

Stabbed that button; it’s critical security infrastructure.

@kchoudhu I think the capabilities it enables are less relevant than the fact that without it the world eventually runs out of usable IP addresses

[Chris Whelan @chriswhelan1]

@kchoudhu @jgreco It's not based on the gross, you start with the desired net payable amount and gross up from there. If you "won" $1,000 and they assume you pay a 24% marginal rate they will pay you $1,000/(1-.24)=$1,315.79.

@AaronSepulvedaC @Frances_Coppola Put another way - there's a reason why the accounting equation is Assets = Liabilities + Equity. Equity is not considered a sub-category of "Liabilities" for this reason. Liabilities have to be repaid.

@KubeWhelan I thought this summed it up pretty well https://t.co/njREhdxJG6

That team, those young men, have done more in a matter of weeks for my sense of belonging and pride than this government has done in 10 years. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Just scroll through the vile racist onslaught faced by 3 young black England players and then you’ll see the reason why the entire team takes the knee.
