Morizero··on How I Defeated an MMO Game Hack Author
> I don't understand why some people feel the need to cheat in a game; I also think that cheating gets boring fast, and likely most people just move on. The whole point of a game, especially one based more on skill than luck, is the challenge; if you remove that, the fun rapidly vanishes.

My friends would bring their computers to my house and we'd hack/cheat online games not because we were interested in the games, but because we were interested in the social experience of what we were doing. We weren't focused on the game; instead, we were focused on teasing & laughing with & at each other.

Morizero··on A Working Turing Machine Hits Lego Ideas
Nah they just won't produce it, just like how "Quest Builder" was rejected despite having a ton of support
Morizero··on A Working Turing Machine Hits Lego Ideas
Is it a legal build though? It feels like it shouldn't be with how much flexes & rubs. Very cool either way.
Morizero··on MusicBrainz: An open music encyclopedia
Yep, and yet I still have had people "correct" my edits
Morizero··on MusicBrainz: An open music encyclopedia
The only issue I have with MusicBrainz is that they generally use correct grammar/spelling/style over what the artist uses themself. For example, "accapella" -> "a cappella" or "Remix" -> "remix".
Morizero··on Eating the Birds of America: Audubon's Culinary Reviews of America's Birds
Not OP but yeah, it's even illegal in some places: https://i.redd.it/9njvxxae6pad1.png

Morizero··on I prefer rST to Markdown
> You just need a regex to transform it into <img alt="alttext" src="example.jpg"/>.

Is this what the author means by markdown being lightweight, since the inverse isn't true except trivially?

Morizero··on Cold brew coffee in 3 minutes using acoustic cavitation
Thanks for the tip, I'll hit them up tomorrow!
Morizero··on The AI-generated porn industry
> Sam’s models and photos are fictional, but to make the accounts more believable, he buys videos of real-life adult creators and then deepfakes in his AI models’ heads. He says his partner sources the videos from contacts in the adult industry, who know that their faces will be cut from the footage, but doesn’t specify whether they know exactly what the videos are being used for.

The "real women" are still working, it just doesn't look like them at the point of sale.

Morizero··on How to find a street in 2 minutes [video]
It's a surprising helpful tool in Pokemon Go metagaming. For example, you can use it to determine gyms eligible for EX Raid status (not that that's a thing anymore), find potential micro-nests, or even locate Lake Trio spawn locations.
Morizero··on We’ve updated our policy to prohibit sharing someone else’s live location
Any management style that results in your direct reports doing things wrong isn't their fault. It's the manager who didn't communicate clearly, didn't correctly incentivize, didn't set the right example, didn't create pathways to desired outcomes, etc.

Morizero··on After self-hosting my email for twenty-three years I have thrown in the towel
Totally agree with the tone & premise, but

> At some point your IP range is bound to be banned, either by one asshole IP neighbor sending spam, *one of your users being pwned*,

feels like a hint that

> My current email server IP has been managed by me and used exclusively for personal email with zero spam, zero, for the last ten years.

Might not be entirely accurate.

Morizero··on What’s the strangest thing you ever found in a book?
This kind of remark is a reinforcement of the idea that "it's not ok to cry", rather than a cutesy way of saying that you're tearing up.
Morizero··on A frog so small, it could not frog
The cherry on top of this comedy is a researcher named Pie studying Pumpkin toadlets
Morizero··on The Great American Murder Ballad
I would argue that since Laura Foster doesn't have a Wikipedia page but her murderer Tom Dula does is evidence to the contrary.
