niantic add Any good bug or poison pokémon to pogo challenge

U+FFFF is a VALID UNICODE CHARACTER and i WILL use it as a delimiting sigil when processing strings which are restricted to the Char production!!

trying to negotiate dual feelings of “ugh why are you listening to this bourgeois thinkfluencer and not real organizations of real labourers” and “actually, this person owns approximately zero of the necessary means for any of their labours”

i’m thinking of like, professional speakers and high⹀end consultants here, to be clear; professions where social pressures demand bourgeois hires despite it not actually being a bourgeois role

is there a name for the kinds of people that capitalist society props up with a bourgeois lifestyle even tho, analysing their relationship to labour, they are not actually bourgeois?

niantic please never do this

niantic release a “pikachu with gender-changing cardboard taped to its tail” event pokémon you cowards

anyway i would argue translation is fair use insofar as “the copyright holder” is not engaged or interested in producing or licencing a translation of their own but consult your lawyer on that

remembering when i was at a library tech conference in october and an archives guy was like “i would love to get sued because at least then i might learn who took the photograph”

it was commissioned by a childrens theatre run by the Soviet government

Wikipedia claims peter and the wolf was formerly in the public domain but placed back under copyright by Golan v. Holder—who is the copyright holder tho?

according to the dream i just woke up from, the gold standard elementary text for translating into your conlang should be “peter and the wolf”

i¦ve been wanting to rework my keyboard layout all year but i keep putting it off because it will ruin my typing speed when i do, but in the meantime it just keeps getting more and more strange

“—and then you rent it a U-Haul”

it sounds like computer fans

yes i used an alpha unicode codepoint even though it has not yet been approved via an ISO Proposed Draft Amendment (PDAM) technical ballot

and the thing is like, i’m not mad about scarlet and violet?? it’s a good story and i enjoyed experiencing it?? certainly it’s better than either of the switch zelda games

but it’s also like, just a visually buggy game with a good story that happens to use pokémon mechanics. and that’s fine but not what makes a Pokémon Game

honestly the monkey paw curling with regards to pokémon plots is so wild; scarlet and violet have far and away the best writing of any pokémon game short of Explorers of Sky etc, but they are also undoubtedly the worst Pokémon Games

cohost is/has been failing because of the identities of the people who founded it, because of the communities those people are in, and because of the failings of those communities. absolutely. it’s failing because of tech people and tech culture, it’s failing because of online leftists and online leftist culture, it’s failing because of furries and furry culture, and it’s failing because of neurodivergent queers and neurodivergent queer culture. and other reasons besides! if you are invested in any of those communities, it’s necessary that you recognize those failings, realize that they come from inside the house, and work on yourself and the people around you to fix that shit and get better. that’s the only way you will grow, and the only way your community will get to a place where it is effective, or even healthy

but it’s also fine to say nah. it’s also fine to not give a shit. because at the end of the day, these are just friends of friends, not a political organization or movement, and you don’t owe them anything. you can not associate and you can spend your time instead on those who have earned your care
