My first thirty minutes of playtest for Y2ROLL on Linux, a game with a Nintendo 64 aesthetic and gameplay that is similar to Super Monkey Ball. Once you pick up on the strafing/carving mechanic, it's really fun 😄

for context. tl;dr: I scraped the resultadosconvzla.com website, and ended up with ~22,000 jpegs. I took a sample of 100. Of those 100, nine had actual inked signatures or fingerprints. The remainder did not.

Wow. This is... super old. Remember the old days of Icedove and Iceweasel in Debian, due to some weird trademark thingy with Mozilla? A picture of literally the first Android device (G1). My messy-ass desktop strewn with music folders and university assignments. Pirated copy of MATLAB. Steam and other windows games too, apparently? Pretty sure this is from before Valve was doing Linux, so that was probably on WINE. Amarok, Nexuiz, Truecrypt, Azureus. Using Pidgin as an IM client, complete with integration to Facebook Chat back when it was open with XMPP. Skype too. The quality isn't great, as this was recorded with just the CPU, but still. It's something of a time capsule for my GNU/Linux life circa 2011, when getting Windows games running was at least as important as finishing my university work. And StumbleUpon!

Screencasted digital/cyber{,samurai}/keyboard{,cowboy} ramblings of a very stoned, always-loved-to-dive-into-rabbit-holes-as-a-kid, mind, at his computer, at this moment, pouring over a (perhaps now esoteric) piece of anti-LGBT propaganda from the 70s in California, that he saw in a ContraPoints vid, and then had to go research. Over the past couple hours. Because he's seen this kinda crazy shit in his own campaigns he's worked on at a local level before and almost can't believe it's real.

My initial stream-of-consciousness review of a paper investigating the American electorate's prioritization of democratic norms versus other policy and partisan concerns. I was originally nerd sniped on this paper by TikTok user brasnolikov when he too was looking into it:

The paper in question:

Democracy in America? Partisanship, Polarization, and the Robustness of Support for Democracy in the United States

Some potentially helpful timestamps:

Looking into the model itself: 23:40

Fuzzy zone, might want to ignore: 38:22 - 40:42

I screen-recorded my Spotify 2021 Wrapped story/reel/whatever it's called. Audio quality isn't perfect since it's really just recording the audio via the mic, but it's good enough. And yes, I really like Stardew Valley and listened to its soundtrack a buuuunch.

Also... this year, the story seems to change each time you play it. Different songs are on each panel, the My Movie bit has different entries on different plays, etc.
