i was thinking about the reader view feature in ios safari and how surprisingly well it works with a lot of sites despite tremendous efforts to block it, and thinking about gemini and how it never really took off due the insanely tall order of expecting people to create a whole new world wide web from scratch in the 2020s, and how all the old text-mode web browsers are ancient and don't work with much of the modern web, and how writing a new web browser from scratch is basically impossible now if you're not a huge corporation with billions of dollars, and how all these "stealth browser" projects like brave are shady as fuck, and how headless web browsers are basically a lost cause with web developers (scum of the earth) constantly figuring out new ways to spy on users and block anything that doesn't look like a real desktop browser, i had a crazy idea:

what about a web browser that silently launches a qemu snapshot of alpine linux running firefox or chromium (with adblock and paywallbypassclean) to render a page and save it to the host, then kills the vm and generates a simple html text-only version of the page? most modern cpus have virtualization acceleration and qemu could use whatever vm acceleration is available on the host os like kvm or whpx or whatever so the rendering ought to be pretty quick, the vm snapshot already has the os and firefox running in a frozen a state so no waiting for it to boot up, and it wouldn't be detected as a headless browser because it's just regular desktop firefox/chromium. just a thought.

you could do something like https://www.brow.sh/ does. it essentially "renders" in text mode. I use it sometimes when all I have is a shell

When I was a kid I ran w3m in emacs for a while as my browser, with firefox as a fallback.
And even recently on a very product retro computing system over tor, without a fallback.
When I was a kid it was to get away from video streaming, which I saw as a massive time sink.
Now it would be to get away from LLMs, which are unfortunately useful - for completion to convention.
Basically for an /etc/hosts file that's more difficult to edit, and works with tor.
I haven't the slightest how to make an interface for an LLM that only does completion to convention.
Maybe code actions in an LSP - so you always select some range to complete?

What happened to call of duty, it kinda became opposite of what it used to be. The games feel completely bloated now and they completely lost that original, classic identity that made the older titles so good.

I hate all of it. The fans, the retarded looking oversized armor. Most of all I hate that it’s heavily focused on the American military. You never get to play as the Russian orcs or anything. No you always play as the US marines. Because it’s meant to be pro us military propaganda. Just like Starship Troopers hides behind fake bullshit “anti war” veil that doesn’t mean anything because it’s still a pro us military movie. Do you get to play as the bugs in the Starship Troopers game? Nope. Yeah it’s all chinlet us military propaganda. Same with that gay Helldivers game.

How can you protect yourself from a drone attack as an individual?

I know there are ways to beat drones using tech but as a foot soldier on the ground, how can you maximise your survivability?

you don't. that's the whole point of drones is to attack and terrorize civilians who have no anti-aircraft defense capability and no way to defend themselves. you go outside to get the mail and an RC plane blows you away and hundreds of miles away some pimple-faced teenager sitting in front of a videogame console laughs at you with doritos in his mouth and doesn't even think that it's real. all you can do is live in the sewers at this point.

If the price of something is determined by the amount of human work that goes into it, how does one explain the price of luxury items or artworks (which only require a little bit of work but are overpriced due to the supply/demand imbalance)?

It might seem like a bunch of impertinent exceptions that could be overlooked but
- the luxury industry is far from being marginal
- if the premise that the value of something is determined by the amount of human work that goes into it isn't true in every context, then the whole law of falling rate of profit doesn't hold true in every context either

Such t shirts were in fact sold at malcolm mclarens "SEX" shop, according to the autobiography of the punk model, Jordan. No really surprising there were fights on the King's Road between punks and the more traditional teddy boys.

File: 1787574942897-7.jpeg (18.36 KB, 640x301, classical-economist-david….jpeg)

Ricardo gives the starting conditions of the LTV here:
<Possessing utility, commodities derive their exchangeable value from two sources: from their scarcity, and from the quantity of labour required to obtain them. There are some commodities, the value of which is determined by their scarcity alone. No labour can increase the quantity of such goods, and therefore their value cannot be lowered by an increased supply. Some rare statues and pictures, scarce books and coins, wines of a peculiar quality, which can be made only from grapes grown on a particular soil, of which there is a very limited quantity, are all of this description. Their value is wholly independent of the quantity of labour originally necessary to produce them, and varies with the varying wealth and inclinations of those who are desirous to possess them. These commodities, however, form a very small part of the mass of commodities daily exchanged in the market. By far the greatest part of those goods which are the objects of desire, are procured by labour,. and they may be multiplied, not in one country alone, but in many, almost without any assignable limit, if we are disposed to bestow the labour necessary to obtain them. In speaking then of commodities, of their exchangeable value, and of the laws which regulate their relative prices, we mean always such commodities only as can be increased in quantity by the exertion of human industry, and on the production of which competition operates without restraint.
https://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/economics/ricardo/tax/ch01.htm
So, the LTV only applies to most goods, but not all of them.
>if the premise that the value of something is determined by the amount of human work that goes into it isn't true in every context, then the whole law of falling rate of profit doesn't hold true in every context either
That's true, but Marx also allows for countering tendencies in the law of the falling rate of profit. These concerns are mostly taken up by mainstream economics in "trade cycles" or "business cycles" anyway, so it is not an esoteric Marxist reading of things, but an exoteric fact.

>Austrian School definition of price
The Austrian School has an absolute separation between values and prices, the same as the Classicists and Marxists. For all schools of thought, the value and price only coincide by equilibrium of supply and demand. This is why goods can be "over-priced" in colloquial language. If all prices were identical to values, this couldn't be said. But this argument goes all the way back to Scholastics like Aquinas or Luther, who said that prices can differ from what a thing is "worth".
>The prices of things are set by merchants in response to what they understand the respective value of those things to be.
No. A merchant "buys low and sells high". There is no other imperative. This is why the only regulator on market price is a mutual competition between merchants, lowering prices to a minimum. The minmum price in a free market is seen to be a commodity's "value".

Do you think 80s music will endure more than music of other eras? 80s music is already considered "old" to my generation but even so several 80s songs have earned places in my playlist. And a lot of 70s shit too. Was that era of music somehow more special than others? I suppose it's too soon to tell. What will endure of the 90s, 00s, and 10s? Music creation become more accessible which is a good thing but it also means we are saturated with music. There are no more super hit world sensations like Michael Jackson or The Beatles. People don't curate their own selections of music anymore either. They rely on the algorithms of spotify or whatever.

You are both wrong, GTA gameplay formula was way ahead of its time, and fucking sucks. It was a fancy skinner box even back in GTA3/VC era, with San Andreas being a little more free form. It is brandead, you follow objective markers and do exactly what the game tells you to do, with no space for thought left anywhere. That is why the series became such a juggernaut, by being the lower common denominator of gaming. The series has a style, decent writing, but gameplay is shit, it has always been shit, you just never noticed because you played it when you were 12

>>47739
>you follow objective markers and do exactly what the game tells you to do
This is so hilariously reductive (the game "tells you what to do" by giving you… objectives, to say nothing of how this implies entire genres like rhythm games are illegitimate since they don't involve strategy) that it could only come from someone who's trying really hard to hate the series more than they actually do. It's also wrong on a literal level, as there are multiple missions in 3/VC/SA that you can cheese through lateral thinking.

>>47743
>this implies entire genres like rhythm games are illegitimate
It really doesnt. GTA is not a rhythm game, it is supposed to be an open world sandbox, you need freedom for that to work. Otherwise what are you left with other than mediocre racing game mixed with flat out bad 3th person shooter? There is fun to be had while free roaming, but the mission design, which is where you will spend most of your playtime, is on par with something like CoD, a heavily scripted tunnel, which is fine for CoD game because that plays to strengths of its mechanics, but not to an open world sandbox.

>could only come from someone who's trying really hard to hate the series
I really dont. Played SA and VC as a kid. Liked them a lot. But when I attempted to replay them (and GTA3) years later, even nostalgia glasses could not hide how flawed the series is.

>>47383
I don't think Valhalla is chudded out as much as it's ironic in both its bleakness ($40 ramen cups) and hope (in humanity + other ie sentient human-esque robots etc.). I think folks are selling the game short for the range of the human condition that it showcases. It's like whoever is deciding to relax w/ the game feels better about either not having (or actually having) $40 ramen cups while getting to connect with individuals in a world w/ many parallels to our own.

The point of the game isn't to have you be someone grand. You may be changing lives but you are just a bartender. Ofc, any bartender can move mountains, but that is beyond the scope of the game. If there is anything in the world worth changing that you see in the writing, then to start you'd need to be able to empathize and have real conversations with people. Plenty of people have complex goals and relationships that prevent them from being activated and you're one of them in this game, like we all are for periods of our lives as politically conscious people.

I think this point would be missed if they made active politics the goal of the game, rather than a characteristic of the world that imposes itself on you occasionally.

Also yeah I see guns as a time-wasting toggle issue. Like liberal politicians can set up hype for conservative politicians by banning it, then conservative politicians can set up hype for liberal politicians by being too lax with it. For much dumber reasons, so too is abortion.

Instead of calling to "abolish the family", we should promote single-parent families which inherently rely on consuming socialized production of goods and services more than multi-parent families. Single-parent families drive up demand, are more profitable and develop the productive forces.

so like 5 people on twitter

from where i sit in america it seems to me like the family already was abolished a long time ago. this whole thing we got going on where it's just two self-centered parents trying to groom their kids for conformity and success like they're show dogs and pushing them out the door at age 18 and leaving their own parents to die alone in some dirty derelict house or a nursing home, people value money and status and ideology more than their own flesh and blood, that's not a family. and it's not good, not having strong family ties makes people weaker, more helpless and isolated and easier to control, there's a reason why america's ruling class systematically destroyed the white family after the great depression, why they destroyed the black family after the civil rights movement, family is the most fundamental unit of social organization, you break up the family and people have nothing.

Cant afford abolishing the family in this economy

One of my favorite films from that era is The Alamo. I honestly can't imagine a movie like this being made today. The Mexicans are portrayed as a little better overall, but still not exactly great, just less awful than the Texans, who are shown as hypocritical slave owners. I guess that was the politics of the time. both sides were bad, but one was objectively worse.

man what a turd, i can tell some queer people are bending over backwards to defend this massive swindle, pretending that having fetishes that are only ever able to be experienced through the screen is some unique queer experience (like there's a shortage of cis-het men who are into vore or getting crushed under the feet of giantesses), or that writing self-insert fanfiction is some inscrutable queer experience, like having Scully from the x-files say the words Alternate Universe was some secret code and not the most cringe worthy thing ever. I have to say, if you really are an offline cis-het man from the outside looking in, then this just confirms every bad preconception about trans people being at the same time, hella pretentious but also toddlers that need the crust from their bread removed otherwise they'll throw a fit. At times video essay (the movie interrupting itself to point out transphobic beats), at times garbage SNL sketch, but never a real movie. I will never watch a Jane Shoenbrun, err thing, ever again in my life.

Just watched Judas and the Black Messiah with a Canadian friend.
I think it radicalized him.

<When RedMarx receives a question, it does not begin by searching the corpus but by reasoning over the knowledge graph. The graph encodes the major categories of Marxist political economy – value, labour, capital, class, state, imperialism, mode of production, and others – as a layered, relational structure rather than a set of flat tags. Categories are organised hierarchically from general to specific, dialectically through a concept’s opposites and developments, and historically through the reformulation of a category across periods and traditions. These relations are drawn from a controlled vocabulary of social-scientific predicates – ‘contradicts’, ‘mediates’, ‘reproduces’, ‘commodifies’, ‘alienates’, ‘exploits’, ‘determines’, ‘transforms into’, and others – so that the graph captures genuinely Marxist relationships rather than generic ‘is-related-to’ links.

>next token prediction but marxistly
Waow. New frontiers in ML (no pun intended) theory.

i saw a video on titkok of some guy trying to cut small restaurants some slack because they use AI for their ads because "they don't have art departments" like chipotle or whatever, and the comments are 99% "small business suck", and small business owners desperately fending for their life. 5 years ago this would have been unthinkable, everyone would be like "yeah but nestle is worse" or whatever. chat, is luddite sentiment bad? leftypol led me to believe that it's reactionary but it seems that AI hatred has been extremely didactic for some people.

Whilst we are waiting for episode seven, i see no reason why we should not discuss what we have seen already.

I personally enjoyed the show, and the symbolism of how the characters personalities in relation to their bodies was quite interesting.

Are there any methods other than HRT? I still don't fit into either the male or female category (my thread is a couple of threads down). And being trans these days is suicide; I don't think it's worth it.
So, back to the topic.
>Conversion therapy
Obviously it doesn't work, just like therapy in general, a synonym for the words cope and rep.
>Other
There's nothing, just a theory. In theory, you could identify (your) neurobiological markers associated with transgenderism and try to correct them with TMS or something similar.

Do you even know what TMS is?

"S" and "SabinyAK" glow no matter which thread convo they "contribute" within

>>10181
My best advice as a trans woman myself is to try and identify some other mental conditions other than GD (IE depression, anxiety, neurodivergence) and treat them acordingly; the whole "being trans is suicide" thing isn't always true albeit I don't know where you live.

>>10202
Yeah but it doesn't work by itself; most of the subjects were still lower than 3.0 on the GIDYQ-AA which still indicates a high level of dysphoria

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/336315392_Gender_IdentityGender_Dysphoria_Questionnaire_for_Adolescents_and_Adults

As well, it usually costs over 10,000 dollars which is way more expensive than HRT depending on how you get the latter

https://www.cognitivefxusa.com/blog/tms-depression-treatment-costs

While it doesn't work well enough for OP, HRT is still significantly improves mental health; it's probably ideal for some trans people to use both HRT and TMS

the problem exists in the brain. treat the brain and the problem goes away. conversion therapy doesn't work, but maybe something else does?
>>10202
interesting. I wonder if TMS combined with psychedelics could work. it certainly does for major depression and PTSD
>>10309
>As well, it usually costs over 10,000 dollars which is way more expensive than HRT depending on how you get the latter
that's just because of the burger medical system being the way it is. curing GD is likely not as profitable as having someone hooked on hormones for the rest of their lives. especially when deployed at scale, where the cost of TMS machines can be brought down

From "Mud, Mud, Glorious Mud…", first printed in Micro Adventurer, Sept 1984

https://mud.co.uk/richard/masep84.htm

>ONE OF the features of MUD is that if you type LOG at it, it copies all output to a file so you can peruse it later at your leisure. Hours of endless amusement can be had by looking at other people's LOG files which they have left lying around.

>Consider the plight of two of our very first externals, who played from the USA back in 1980. One of them had been in before, but his friend hadn't, and fortunatdy for us thought you had to LOG into the game to play. This meant all his activities were recorded for posterity, unbeknown to him.

>Also in the game was Niatram, one of the system operators (who can't spell his name backwards). He decided to loom up on this second character, follow him around a bit, then kill him. This he repeated several times, gaining plenty of points in the process. Finally, the newcomer was at his wits' end.

>"Who's this Niatram character?" he asked his friend. "He keeps following me around and killing me!". "Yes, he's done that to me before", came the reply, "I think he may be dungeon generated!" At this point Niatram appeared, and out of despair his victim quit, rather than be killed yet again by this "artificial person".

Truly, a milestone of gamer history. Also

>And, of course, you WILL be able to play on your micro, although not the same way as you do at present. In the current arrangement, you buy (a likely story!) your cassette and run the software on your own machine; when MUD goes commercial you won't be able to get a copy anywhere in the shops. What you will be able to get is some sort of package explaining to you all you ever wanted to know about the game, and access details on how to contact the host computer over some network. You follow these instructions and there you are, in a game with 100 other people, who are also sitting at home playing on the mainframe via their own micros. The only cost is that for the network (telephone, cable or whatever) and around a pound an hour peak times for the game itself.

Let me know if you have other interesting links. I have this faggy kind of dream of finding and binging a wiki that just collects "history from below" stuff like this about particular games/genres/scenes. The site in the OP has some stuff like that but not as much as I'd like

This article might also be of interest https://aeon.co/essays/before-minecraft-or-snapchat-there-was-micromuse

>>47767
I think your idea for a site sounds really interesting, because as the number of entries grows, you would also have to sort them chronologically and establish different diverging and recombining strains of internet culture. Like something that quotes sources on arpanet-era university networks, usenet, 90s dialup, cracking culture, the pre-FANG internet and our favorite basket-weaving forums in a grand multi-narrative epic of the internet as we know it. Or you know it could be just another wikipedia clone.
