The Transformative Benefits of Artificial Intelligence

Title: The Transformative Benefits of Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as one of the most revolutionary technologies of the 21st century. It involves creating intelligent machines that can mimic human cognitive functions such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making. As AI continues to advance, its impact is felt across various industries and…

Weird to me that Save and Quit has become less and less of a video game industry standard, replaced with "Are you sure? All unsaved progress will be lost."

My cynical assumption for this phenomenon is that it makes the psychological barrier of quitting a bit higher thereby increasing playtime which leads to etc etc etc.

I want to be clear I have no particular insight beyond I miss save and quit, but I'm sick of going 'did I save?' to myself after having just saved and I feel like at minimum tacking on a system that suppresses that warning if there's no unsaved progress isn't an unreasonable ask.

Wheelchair users are moving.

Whether it's self propelling in a manual wheelchair, using the controls on a power chair, driving a mobility scooter? Wheelchair users are moving.

I've been on a tough journey today. Realising that my manual wheelchair isn't enough. But yknow what I noticed?

My ableism towards power chair users.

You see I thought that a power chair user wasn't really moving, the chair was. Until I pictured myself using that tool.

Why did it have to take my realisation that a power chair would help ME for me to see power chair users in a different light?

I was separating the chair from the user, even when I started using my own manual wheelchair. I saw power chairs as inherently different from manual chairs.

This even manifested in how I think about my own movement. Instead of moving, I thought about self propelling as "moving myself". That wording frames different forms of movement as lesser than others.

They are not.

Society has told us that walking is the only acceptable form of movement. It is not.

However you need to move, you should move. Whether you are on your feet, pushing wheels, or pressing buttons or using a joystick, you are moving. You are making those movements happen, no matter what way you're making the wheels go round.

Wheelchair users move. Just like everyone else.

I had a really bad episode last year and made these omori inspired art pieces based on the flashbacks I was having.

Neopronouns user + neurogender culture is wanting to add au/auti/autis/autis/autiself and neu/neuro/neuros/neuros/neuroself to your pronouns and have people use them for you in real life. But you’re scared you’ll be accused of faking your autism because no *real* autistic would actually want to associated with their autism to the point that they make it their pronouns. *Real* autistics hide themselves.

downloaded the five calls app just now. for those who don't know what that is, its an app that lists current bills being discussed in congress, provides phone numbers for each congress person representing you/your area, and a script for what to say once you're on the phone.

im nervous about calling people, so i will probably make a phone call after hours to ensure i don't need to speak to a human.

Are you in a wheelchair?

Not anymore, why?

[ronsenburg]

I read a book 😁

[10001gecs]

also while im talking about doordash i think that the weird prevailing hatred of doordash drivers thats predicated on how "theyre rude and only shove their phone in our faces without talking to us" is like. ok well 90% of the doordash drivers we get speak very little english and are honestly on tighter deadlines than we are so maybe there is a reason they dont want to chitchat

it is a little annoying when people focus more on curly’s reaction than jimmy’s action. like i think at this point curly is getting more heat than jimmy.

it’s also annoying bc you can tell that jimmy will abuse and manipulate pretty much anyone around him to stay the perfect martyr. a victim. someone so put upon and in need of pity.

curly puts on a strong face but i’m not convinced that he isn’t a victim, too. maybe what jimmy does to him isn’t physical at first, but the manipulation remains. i think that curly’s “inaction” is more careful calculation— what will he be able to do realistically to ensure that 1. anya is safe 2. the crew is safe 3. they get their job completed 4. they get *paid* for their work. also, they are in space and have nowhere to escape to, they are isolated, and need to survive at least 240+ more days. he knows anya specifically really needs that money, and if they lose a big chunk of it due to whatever pony express views as a failing (which has been demonstrated to be pretty much every little thing), then what she went through will be “for nothing” so to speak. killing jimmy would likely result in more problems, not the least of which being a likely pay cut, and the fact that jimmy is co-pilot and may be needed in a technical emergency, even if he is a deplorable person. imprisoning him could also result in fines, and i imagine the main difficulty is sorting out the logistics of that for those 240+ more days. add in the fact that curly is not sleeping (and the already only get 5 hours of allotted sleep time) and actively having psychosis…. well.

unfortunately curly makes a grave miscalculation in what jimmy is willing to do. especially when he finds out that anya is pregnant.

make no mistake—i don’t think that curly’s actions were perfect by any means, i don’t think he acted fast enough or decisively enough, but i don’t think he was thinking of protecting jimmy, even if he said to jimmy’s face that they would figure it out and everything would be fine. when you’re facing down with a dangerous person, you will often placate to keep the situation de-escalated. outright fighting would be financially and physically risky.

i also don’t think it’s babying curly to think about the position that he’s in mentally, and as a manager AND as a friend (especially to anya). he fucked it up, though, absolutely. and we see the end result of that. i think that’s part of what makes it such a tragedy.

tumblr blocks are so annoying. a post (by someone who does not have me blocked) won’t even show me (or anyone!!) the notes of my own mutuals if someone down the reblog chain reblogged it from someone who has me blocked. why does tumblr make that MY problem? let me read the goddamn tags of the people who don’t have me blocked and my beloved mutuals!!!!!!!!

I probably shouldn't be allowed to talk about computers while zonked on progesterone but I've genuinely really struggled to like KDE plasma. the idea behind it is cool and design wise i should like it, but it's always just been a bit too weird for me.

yes it's customisable but there's just so many little things that frustrate me about it, like the faint grey outline symbolising a minimised program instead of something more visible, or the program icon showing up next to the cursor when launching something. combined with all the packaged software (that yes you can go without but most people don't) that starts with a K and isn't just called like "terminal" or "settings" and stuff makes for a bit of an overwhelming experience.

i do genuinely understand why people like it, and I'm certainly biased with my daily use of cinnamon. but it's sort of just an overwhelming and kind of frustrating experience that feels like it's trying to do too much and have their own version of every program they could and it's all just a bit too much sharp angles and blue for my liking. even though the full oxygen theme rules so hard.

it's kinda sad that it's trickier to get cinnamon looking good on non mint distros (tho probably not that hard i might just be bad at computers) because thats the main reason I've actually used KDE. this is all an issue of personal taste, but i think for me the issue is the design language *is* very consistent and I think it's a bad looking design language (despite it obviously being sleek and what a lot of people really like)
