I personally view the 12 days of shipmas from OpenAI as a failure. Gimmicks like 1800ChatGPT and Santa Mode weren’t particularly remarkable or useful. Most importantly, the final announcement is basically vaporware that’s too expensive to even run. Sora is already outclassed. Just horrible.

On the other hand, Death Note accurately portrays overwork culture by showing Light’s father continuing to work while hospitalized due to work related stress leading to heart attack.

Death Note has several plot holes, including the major one that Light Yagami did not correctly sort his combustible waste and electronics, which are disposed of in different collection methods, and did not have his trash returned to him for not using a transparent bag.

I don't think that this is a problem that exists to solve, but sure

What kills me about The Verge's new subscription is that it's not even ad-free -- it's ad-lite. Sure you want to sell a subscription *and* serve ads. Sure.

@reckless.bsky.social okay, but "Plus a limited edition magazine worth $20 (US/Canada only)" -- if I'm an annual subscriber from Japan why is my subscription the same as someone who gets this "$20 value"?

So the joke with this shipment, which has seemingly bounced around some USPS Atlanta, GA center for something like 12 days is that I paid for DHL shipping, but the vendor shipped via USPS anyway. I'm sure this is totally normal for a shipment.

I pay $20 for Perplexity Pro only for them to show a black friday deals ad on the homepage. Yeah okay, we charge a lot of money but what if we had ads too?

1. The USA should cancel this person’s passport, as they’re a liability to the reputation of all US tourists. 2. Korea should lock him up as long as possible, ideally forever. 3. Japan should ban him for life retroactively.

I swear #firefox right click "copy image" is built to only copy the image with a 10% chance of success. Does anyone know why this feature never works?

A lot of #round1usa players who don't play other games need to know: they get complaints about sensitivity and rigged games all the time on claw machines and medal games. They do not care and are trained to ignore complaints like this. Rhythm gamers need to say the magic word: "malfunction".

A lot of #taiko players in the US have been complaining about cabinet settings at #round1. I offer my tips to talk to staff to get cabinet problems resolved: 1. Never, ever act confrontational. Duh.

WHY IS TEXT COLOR PASTED BY DEFAULT I never want that. Bold, italics, lists, links... sure. Font, color, background, paragraph spacing... never, NOT ONCE what I wanted. I even wrote a tool that sanitizes the HTML pasteboard. github.com/FiloSottile/... Why is this the default!!

I’m sure the new departure music will grow on me but I really miss the old departure music. Like the rest of Tokyo, it feels strangely familiar but new.

Desire: to buy new M4 Mac Mini, because I keep hitting the memory/RAM limit on my 24GB M2 Macbook Air. Problem: Apple Store Japan does not accept foreign bank cards, and Japanese credit cards for foreigners have too low limits. Solution: Buy M4 Mac Mini in the US, send to parents, then forward?

Since arriving back in the country my body has adopted the entirely sane sleep schedule of 6am-2pm. How do I fix this?
