  • Turns out that in school you make a whole deal about “being friends”, but it really is as simple as being friendly with someone.

    I overcorrected after having very few friends in school and now anyone who smiles at me is my friend and can be invited out for dinner or drinks. Everyone is happy to be invited at least, but I notice it’s only the people who aren’t expected home by their children will accept my invitations. They can still be friends, but it’s a little difficult to build a friendship.

    (I say overcorrected, but it’s more that I have to take on a naive belief just to cancel out my autism a little.)



  • What an absolutely terrible article. I read the whole thing and I’m still unclear on what the check is and what it actually applies to and I’m pretty sure the author+GPT is too.

    The reddit post (that our author mangled to churn out an article) is pretty clear about it: the age verification app will perform a Play Integrity check to ensure it is an official build on a “supported” OS (whatever that means, my crDroid passes Play Integrity). This doesn’t mean anything for any other apps running on that same system, it only applies to the AV app. It does mean something for the OS, because passing Play Integrity needs some Google services running at root level.

    That all assumes you even want or need to run that app in the first place. It’s just a reference app for now, open for member states to adopt into a potential digital AV system. If your country doesn’t have any concrete plans for AV for porn/booze/memes yet, but might in the future, then getting involved in local politics will do a lot more than getting worked up about a github repo.

    I had a similar experience. Bought it thinking it would be easy to unlock, then realized I needed to wait a month before I could even attempt it. Reallly wanted to send it back within the 2 week return policy, but I also wanted to see if I could do it, so I waited. Then finally the month was up and I got nothing but unexplained error messages. I wanted to chuck it off a high building and never see it again, I was so frustrated. The main problem is that there isn’t an official guide, so I was relying on forum posts with voodoo logic, stuff like “I requested the unlock three times at midnight and then it appeared” and “don’t try to unlock it before requesting the permission or the month resets”. Eventually I got it, but don’t ask me how I did it (random luck) and I don’t want to do it ever again. Fuck you, Xiaomi (but thanks for the cheap hardware which is now running crDroid :3)

    Hello everyone. I’m Scott, President of Domino’s Pizza. Have you heard of Hatsune Miku? Today I’d like to announce a new collaborative project featuring Hatsune Miku: Domino’s App, featuring Hatsune Miku. Hatsune Miku exists in a software called Vocaloid. Vocaloid enables you to produce songs. A character called Hatsune Miku sings the songs you create. A great feature is you can create songs as you like. I knew our talented Domino’s Pizza crew could work together and create great Vocaloid songs. Bokuro P, Eshi, Chiyo Kiyoshi, Furitsu Keshi, everyone! Amazing Vocaloid songs have been created with the fantastic imagination of the crews all over Japan. The challenge was successfully carried out and this new collaborative app was produced.

    D O M I N O S P I Z Z A

    Based on Miku’s image, the Domino’s App changes its appearance. A lot of music and illustrations produced by Domino’s crew are here. From the menu to the order, it looks very cute, just like Miku. Once your pizza’s delivered, have some fun with Miku! It comes with a social camera function and you can take various poses, pictures of Miku, very cool. And last, but not least, the live performance! Start the pizza stage live and point the camera towards the pizza box, and the pizza box will turn into a live dancing venue. A live performance of Luv4Night produced by Domino’s crew! Here we go!

    Let’s enjoy the rest of the performance with the app!


  • Now the next unsolved question is: when a person is multilingual, should that count as multiple languages or are they all facets of the same idiolect? Is code-switching between formal and informal English the same as code-switching between English and French? Can a person even have multiple idiolects?









  • Cute name! Don’t think I’ll have any trouble recognizing you whatever the name says, your style is very distinctive and funny. And I won’t call you smarty for picking a good name, hehe… You’re a li’l dummy, maria!!

    Edit: Do you care about the capital letter on your name? You don’t use them at all, but now I’m not sure if it’s part of the name or if I’m free to capitalize however I like.
