temporary +1 to fabing

not the word i would expect after "droqen tried to kill" but a multibillion-dollar deal between large corporations is kind of like gameplay 🔪

anyway i'm not sure who this will be of interest to, i found it to be a fascinating journey. i, uh, i just like doing things! even if they do 0 damage

*what's the proper way to refer to a podcast episode in which i am interviewed. is it 'my' podcast interview? or am i just living in it?

(that would be so fun/funny to me 🤩 idk what the point is, it's nice to be spending time doing something without a point)

the purples are completely different, ok??

pixel art. there are shapes. text reads "0:00".

oh my. this gif really got crunched.

a game where you can't haunt the house, because it's extremely unfinished

hell yeah. these rock. they're so specific, great holes to dive into (or to some degree in both cases to re-dive into). thank you for hitting me with them.

oh that's a good one, how could i forget the paradigm? i think it's like... a subcategory of what im looking for. but i'll have to remember paradigm as a varying synonym for model at times

i think i ought to just duplicate this response here, i had 100% forgotten the name trompe l'oeil but i was picturing them when i looked up anamorphic art! bsky.app/profile/droq...

after the jedi master??

oh yeah, i forgot about that oney! though it doesn't *have to* belong to the pseudohorror anomaly sci fi lineage of these terms, they're just what came to mind

too narrow for what i'm looking for (a more general term), but definitely cool stuff, and i could theoretically be swayed by just the right synechdochal usage

related, i was also trying to identify the category of things that are destroyed by knowledge of them - i thought this would be an easy find ("cogitohazard" territory) but no! closest i got was 'agnatology' which is totally wrong.

give me your best words

ah, that makes sense! it's also horrible, damn these words losing their original meaning in favour of something else entirely

is there a name for a thing that is apparently real but is only real because of a certain perspective? i was thinking about anamorphic art, illusion/delusion, models... then ran out of angles to explore. got any five-dollar words for me?

i have inflicted the curse much sooner than expected

i wish that i had enough knowledge of these domains to respond but alas it was a shitpost located at the very edge of my understanding

is it that difficult to balance load? wouldn't you just set something up to keep track of systems nearing overload and switch machines or subroutines over?

tempting, buuut what if i just used the computational savings to mine some bitcoin on the side???

i'm just brainstorming here, but, imagine a website where i can type what i'm looking for and it does nothing but link me to the most relevant web pages on the internet :O

revolutionary idea free for the taking, you're welcome future trillionaires

as top-of-the-page AI search results get 'better' they become increasingly close to just paraphrasing with good but not perfect accuracy exactly what i could have already read directly on a page on the topic i was searching for, which is... what search engines were originally designed to do, right??
