@antoniogm Is it the stairs?

Made the mistake of attempting the NYC subway and now I’m also moving to Argentina.

As the family IT guy its so disappointing how bad of an experience technology is for non-technical people. I had the distinct pleasure of building educational software for kids full time for a summer while in college (s/o to @WilliamsonMark), and I remember they did weekly/biweekly user testing where a group of toddlers would come in and we'd record them using the software in various states and then adjust accordingly. Every single session was SHOCKINGLY illuminating. Like, I expected after a number of these I'd empathize more and build better toddler software one-shot right? Hell fucking no. Every user study was so educational. I learned I simply can't enter the mind of a toddler. Do TV companies, Netflix/Roku/etc. do user studies with elderly people? Do they realize how dogshit and impossible to navigate their interfaces are? Asking some elderly family members to "sign up and schedule an Uber to pick you up for the airport" is like mission impossible. I thought they were exaggerating, then I tried the experience and holy shit man. Try cold finding, installing, signing up, and scheduling an Uber on a 5 year old iPhone with max font size. Its insane.

@neeratanden @JillFilipovic @TheSWPrincess Why do you lie like this so blatantly?

I should add that the clear answer is "a ratfuck." I'm not saying there are no democratic voters who support her but I cannot find a single prominent Dem who backs her. I can't even find a real Democrat on Twitter who backs her. I've seen total rejection of her and her views from Democrats across the board. The PAC supporting her seems to be run by Republicans. So yes let's continue to reject her! But I don't think we should pretend that she represents any Democratic (or even leftist) constituency.

Peter Jackson Talks AI Filmmaking in Cannes: "It's Just a Tool Like Any Other" hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-n…

Street racing at 125+ mph on the I-10 in LA led to a crash, but the Waymo Driver saw it coming: it detected the anomalous situation early, tracked the reckless vehicle post-crash, and maneuvered defensively to safely bypass the scene.

#Cannes jury president Park Chan-wook says "I don’t think politics and art should be divided." " I think it’s a strange concept to think that they’re in conflict with each other. Just because a work of art has a political statement, it should not be considered an enemy of art. At the same time, just because a film is not making a political statement, that film should not be ignored. Even if we are to make a brilliant political statement, if it’s not expressed artfully enough, it would just be propaganda. So what I want to say is that art and politics are not concepts that are in conflict with each other, as long as they are artistically expressed, they are valuable."

He can drink Waymo now

This Afternoon, Chicago lost a real hometown legend. Pete Kastanes of #VanishedChicagoland sadly passed away. Pete was the essence of Chicago. His ultimate goal was to share Chicago History with our City & Chicagoans around the World. Pete's Vanished Chicagoland Group on Facebook and across social media was definitely a huge influence for us, in doing what we do daily. Our thoughts and prayers are with Pete's Family and Friends. We hope to do our best to keep Pete's legacy remembered for lifetimes. Pete Kastanes was, is, and will forever be #ChicagoHistory.

Something just shifted. I’ll leave it at that.

@ecirtaeb_mad @thebuckmcgruff @SurreMediaFacts All the lower quality screams were most likely the earlier ones we recorded. We got way better at recording sound over the years and that’s why there is so much difference in audio quality between Sabotage screams.

@slippy @thebuckmcgruff @SurreMediaFacts So I take it maybe someone in the LiquidGeneration team submitted it to a sound library/something among the lines? I've looked at a handful of the flashes and the scream seems to be in lower quality than later iterations of it so I dont think it was just taken directly from them

The screeching noise made by Zalgo Tubby in this mod actually comes from a really old trolling website named "Liquid Generation" in the website there was a flash game named "Image Morph E-Card" where after you distort celebrities' faces for a bit you get jumpscared by a doll

Maybe it really is the year of Linux, as Framework claims more people are buying Ubuntu versions of its new laptop than Windows options pcgamer.com/hardware/gamin…

@ecirtaeb_mad @thebuckmcgruff @SurreMediaFacts LiquidGeneration Sabotage screams were recorded in house, almost all of them original.

@thebuckmcgruff @SurreMediaFacts It's usage in Sinister (which is from 2012) does not predate the LiquidGeneration screamers (which are from around the early to mid 2000s). It is in a higher quality than the quality in the flashes, so they were probably sourced from the same sound library.
