@packetcat yeah i gave it a listen yesterday and liked it enough to want to give it another at some point today
@aescling no but its definitely not the only thing she wants to be doing
@witchfynder_finder i don’t understand motorsports but i like seeing you be excited about them
« Midna's slate rang. It was her generic tone, so she assumed it must be from a business or something. When she checked, however, her eyebrows shot up. "It's Ganondorf," she announced.
"You have his number?"
Midna rolled her eyes. "You're not the only guy I've done an assignment with." »
« she was about to explode, and if she exploded, her mother would come running up the stairs, burst into Midna’s room, and find the forbidden and endlessly controversial Link Harkinian lounging on the bed beside her. »
« There was something about Link being a jackass to her dad that she found wildly attractive. »
@monorail why is the second attack easier to get than the first attack though
@noelle inspired: dozennis
« Midna held out her wrists, pressed together. He just *stared* at them with his freaky, one-eyed mask, the zip tie hanging limply at his side. "You sure?"
"Yes, Link. Consent given. Hurry up."
Nodding, he wound the zip tie around her wrists and threaded it through, leaving room for her to slip free if she wanted. Midna rolled her eyes tightened it with her teeth.
"Keep it loose," he urged.
"We're trying to look convincing here." Her hair plucked the bag from the carpet, tossed it over her head, and drew the string so it wouldn't fall off.
"You seem a bit eager."
"My hair could still strangle you." »
these kids are voting in a school election with an app
just a modern-day poké girl
long, what if?
@Eden@weirder.earth i would argue this is the same question as “what would the internet look like without URLs” and would point to the efforts of companies like Google and Safari to deemphasize the URL bar in favour of things like search or AI prediction…
i don’t think that trend has been entirely benign. URLs are an important part of web architecture, and making it harder for people to see and understand them has the consequence of also making it harder for people to build and host their own websites. it increases platform reliance and dependency and removes the freedom of people to navigate to resources without an intermediary.
so too with filesystems. a filesystem-less approach works great if you are comfortable being dependent on a specific operating system or app, but—especially since no two operating systems seem likely to implement it the same way—ultimately is likely to increase platform lockin and increase the barrier to entry to core technologies like a terminal, version control, compilers, etc which are necessary for people to actually develop their own tools for solving problems. it also makes a lot of assumptions about the shape of data (self-contained with no external dependencies) which does not scale to many disciplines.
i don't particularly care if people have their music organized by artist and track (lol as if people have actual music files downloaded to their computer anymore) or simply thrown in a giant folder with different views based on metadata. well, i think the latter is much more fragile across time and operating systems (“i upgraded my computer and now i can’t find anything!!”) but i’m not bothered by people accepting that risk. but there are so many fields of study where having file A reference file B, including the both of them in a zip file, having a folder of external resources, etc are extremely important. and these fields might be small, or specialty, and there just might not exist apps for them yet, or if there are apps they might be expensive, and for something you could do for free with a couple directories.
it’s very lucrative for the makers and sellers of apps, though, obviously, to push people in that direction.
« So now that Midna has pledged to become more involved with the plot, but still hasn’t quite made up with Zelda, what do you think will happen next?
Chapter 20.
Link Kidnaps the President »
« "How do we fool him?" Link kept his voice hushed.
There was no "graceful" way to phrase her answer, so she didn't bother. "We have to look like co-workers with zero sexual tension."
Link cleared his throat. "Uh, yeah. Sure. Should be easy for us." »
« Oh. That was *not* a generic smiley face. He frantically typed a follow up. _Aah I didn't mean to send a heart lol._
The three dots in the speech bubble appeared, then disappeared, then reappeared, and disappeared again. He had messed up. Made her uncomfortable. Their friendship was already forbidden enough. Never trust him to message when tired ever again!
She responded. _Oh I don't mind ;)_
Well, things had just become delightfully and annoyingly ambiguous. »
« Also let's all agree that our disaster biromantic Zelda Harkinian would simp for every redhead in this story and the only reason why she "doesn't" is because they declare themselves her nemesis half the time. »
@witchfynder_finder in fairness, when you have an anxiety disorder sometimes that is what happens though
