[oc] wait that's not right

context is that this is a 16 year old video that youtube randomly recommended to people this week for some reason. It’s a remake of this video with neru using rens voice pitched down.

video link: youtu.be/7_n2Giym980

im getting better at making these gif memes though (*^▽^*)
I figured out how to make it without using kdenlive (which HATES the gif format) and instead I used imgflip.com for the text and added it to the video using ezgif.com

i also made it all with my left hand because i sprained my other wrist falling off a unicycle >︿<
On the bright side i got a pretty brace this time instead of a lame black one ^_^

Silicon Valley Executives Are Tech Fans. Just Not for Their Own Kids.

On Tuesday, opening statements begin in Oakland, Calif., for the latest social media trial. California and other states have brought a case against Meta, owner of Facebook and Instagram, saying the company “harnessed powerful and unprecedented technologies to entice, engage and ultimately ensnare youth and teens.”

Meta denies the allegations. But you know who else has some issues with social media, screen time and the addictive nature of devices? Quite a few of the tech executives in Silicon Valley, at least when it comes to their own households.

“I don’t generally want my kids to be sitting in front of a TV or computer for a long period of time,” Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s chief executive, once said. Interacting with people is good, but passively consuming content — “just going from video to video” — was not associated with “the same positive benefits,” he explained.

When Mr. Zuckerberg’s second child was born in 2017, he and his wife, Priscilla Chan, wrote in an open letter to her that “it’s important to make time to go outside and play.” Smelling flowers got a shout-out. So did picking up leaves. Nothing digital rated a mention.

Tech executives like Mr. Zuckerberg don’t talk about their own families often. When they do, however, they usually make clear their wariness of tech. For their children, tech does not play the same role it does for the rest of society: teacher, babysitter, all-purpose distraction and, increasingly, constant companion. It seems barely there at all.

The Shape of Apps

While icons on iOS (formerly iPhoneOS) have always been rounded squares, and rounded-square icons have existed on Apple platforms for over 20 years now, Mac app icons have historically exhibited a variety of unique silhouettes, which helped identification alongside other visual tools like color, lighting, and dimensionality.

Because app icons from the Mac OS X era are so beloved, it’s very understandable—relatable even—how mandating rounded square app icons is downright heartbreaking to long-time Mac OS X users.

What happened? Why did this happen? And what should we do?

bath rules. DAY 43 [OC, brainmade]

photo of a paper sheet taped onto a bathroom wall. it has text and drawings on it. the source text is German, but there are translations added. it reads "hi! please close the door after exiting the bathroom". a drawing of an open door with stinky lines coming out of it is crossed out, indicating it's unwanted. next "please also make sure that the toilet seat is free of droplets" and the drawing shows a toilet seat with droplets on it, being crossed out. there is an arrow pointing to the droplets. finally it says "thank you" with a heart below it. angled text on the tape says "by maria on lemmy"
preview

i made this thingy for our bathroom downstairs about two years ago. so that’s what i will post now. the translations are added in post.

alt image (catbox, high quality)

not sure what to add to this… last post i was like “what to post?” and peeps went “whatever feels good, there is no set theme for 196” so now this is what i’m posting. because why not. you can’t stop me (unless you very kindly ask me to not post this kind of content. in that case i will consider not doing it)

i wish you a wonderful day where someone does something for you, even if it’s small.

ACE Robotics CEO: Robot Brains Will Have 'ChatGPT Moment' by End of 2027

ACE Robotics CEO: Robot Brains Will Have 'ChatGPT Moment' by End of 2027
preview

Humanoid robot brains could see a breakthrough by late next year similar to the dramatic impact ChatGPT had on AI ​usage, the CEO of Chinese embodied AI startup ACE Robotics said on Friday.

“We expect to reach the ‘ChatGPT moment’ for embodied intelligence by the end of next year, driven by world models and environmental data capture,” Wang Xiaogang told Reuters.

“Even if we reach that inflection point by late 2027, it will likely take another four to five years to see broad commercial implementation of embodied world models across sectors,” said Wang, who is also a co-founder of Chinese AI visual recognition pioneer SenseTime.

New car suggestions

I am planing to buy a new car. Which of these are better relatively speaking in terms of privacy, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or Audi? I can’t buy old used cars. I have to buy a new car. I like new safety features but I don’t want privacy invasive features, or subscription services.

A keyboard with an ortholinear layout and a light blue, light pink and beige colour scheme. The purple PCB that holds it together has the text "dumb gay keyboard for a dumb gay" silkscreened onto it in comic sans. The meta key has a stylised Xenia the fox and the raise and lower keys are stylised after the game portal. There's two rotary encoders and a small oled screen on the right side on the keyboard
preview

inspired by Maria’s last post, I thought I ought to show off my custom keyboard I made with my girlfriend! It’s a fucked up layout that I like. It’s technically open source but I really wouldn’t recommend it as I’ve never bothered to actually get the screen working 🥴

Here’s a closer-up of the custom xenia keycaps I got made

And here’s a close-up of the silkscreened comic sans text
