“There’s no way we can give you the franchise if your trains are going to be that small”

Technology Connections mentioned!

Finally, a use for my 1-bit bloom filter!

I mean in fairness to the first one, on most systems it is possible to turn wifi back on without turning off airplane mode (there is in-flight wifi after all)

There’s also the term ritardando in music for gradually slowing down, but at least that’s typically abbreviated to “rit.”

If you actually read it, the emojis are just a silly little C2 frontend, the actual attack vector has nothing to do with Discord

“Okay Google, what is the Whopper burger?”

This year will apparently “start at 500x500”, which iirc is half the dimensions of last time. If I dare read into things a bit, I’d say it’s probably expanding over time

How big will the canvas be this year? There was a fair bit of whitespace last year, but even with minimal notice limited only to Lemmy, it was almost the perfect amount for everything to fit without overlapping

Here’s last year’s result btw for those that missed it.

The part at 12:10 about how Goose named the characters was surprising. Pomni’s name being Russian for “remember” seemed too perfect to me, especially after finally getting around to watching Murder Drones and meeting Doll. I figured there was someone at Glitch who had at least some influence on writing and liked Russian, and they just opted for a more subtle hint this time. But nope, total coincidence! That’s what I get for feeling smart i guess lol 🙃

*bigender, not bisexual

There’s apparently a lot of bigender flags, but the original version per that site does match the ice cream

The API updated with Lemmy 0.19.4. The old way has been marked for deletion and they’ve now followed through on that, but a few apps (presumably including Sync) haven’t updated to the new way yet

One year down, many more to go!

I don’t think Sync shows exact dates, but you can check on your profile on the actual site

Well at least you got the time right… lol

In that bog there was an idiot

Rare idiot, a picklin’ idiot

Idiot in the bog

And the bog down in the valley, oh!

I’m not entirely sold on the Jax is an NPC/AI theory. Some of the evidence like the Jax plushie first I think is just Glitch recognizing the fandom would latch on to him immediately

His “master of unlocking things” skill does stand out and there’s obviously something we don’t know about him given the lack of room on his pin card, I’m just not sold on the AI theory

We see him sad for just a moment before Kaufmo’s funeral before he catches himself and gets annoyed. I feel like most of his behavior is just an unhealthy coping mechanism for getting trapped in the Circus, not AI. Goose also said on Tumblr that, of everyone, Jax deserves to be in the Circus the most: why would an AI deserve this punishment?

Given the CCK AIs were supposed to be 57x more immersive, that sounds like a big step up, and I dont think an AI as old as Jax would be capable of blending in so much. And Caine should have more control over an AI than a human, right? (But maybe that’s where the “rouge” comes into play?)

My initial read on Caine’s comment was just that there was a mixup and some horrible accident in the past, not that someone today is an undercover AI, and so far I’m still standing by it. I can see potential theories for a few of them being AIs (and apparently Film Theory wants to do the same for Pomni next), but I don’t see any strong evidence to really suggest that so far. Jax is still definitely hiding something, but I don’t think its that he’s an AI
