TIL about a bookmarklet that takes you directly to a YouTube video's thumbnail
  • Sorry, I wasn't able to find a way to do what DeArrow does. I found some code for one here: https://wiki.sponsor.ajay.app/w/Community#Bookmarklets

    But when I tried it, I got "server refused to generate thumbnail." Not sure how to go about fixing it, I'm a bit out of my depth :(

  • Honestly, same [bacon]
  • No worries, it's been a rough week.

    Bacon is the title of the daily comic strip this panel comes from. The joke is that the cactus on the left has its "arms" (branches?) point up, as most cacti do, and is looking at the cactus on the right with its arms down, and that cactus on the right is explaining that, as a cactus, it doesn't really have any other way to show how it feels.

    I don't think you're missing anything, it's not super-duper funny -- just a little silly 😊 .

    SUCCESS Corporation has announced Sonic Wings Reunion, a new entry in the Aero Fighters shoot ’em up series, for PlayStation 5, Switch, PC (Steam), and Japanese arcades. It will launch on May…

    FTA: "It will launch on May 29, 2025 in Japan with support for English, French. German, Portuguese, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese language options."

    So if it doesn't come out internationally (no word on that yet), you could still grab a physical edition from Japan without having to cope with Japanese menus (\cough DOJ \cough).

  • There's an old saying that goes, "One is the loneliest number." Non-programmers usually start counting at one, making it the first number in the count.

    Programmers generally have to start counting at 0. So to them, the first number is 0. So the joke is that a non-programmer would say "one is the loneliest number" a programmer would say "zero is the loneliest number" because the numbers they start with when counting are different.

  • "The American experiment endures," Biden said. "We're going to be OK."
  • 🤦

    Trump supported congressional Republican repeal-and-replace efforts, but they ultimately failed. One example is the American Health Care Act, a bill to repeal the Affordable Care Act subsidies and regulations that the House passed in May 2017, but failed to pass in the Senate. In June 2020, Trump’s administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court to block the law, but the court dismissed the case.

    The reason he failed in his first term is because the legislation died in the Senate, and the legal challenge died in the Supreme Court -- which are both now overwhelmingly Republican.

    But you knew that. In which case you're being disingenuous. Or you didn't. In which case you are lazy and ignorant. In either case it's pretty clear that your only goal here is to waste my time. I'm through teaching Civics 101 for the day.

  • Because programmers start counting at 0! 😆

    Ok, that was funnier in my head...

  • "The American experiment endures," Biden said. "We're going to be OK."
  • Trump again calls to 'replace' Obamacare, reopening a fight Republicans tried to close.

    House Speaker Mike Johnson criticizes Obamacare and promises 'massive reform' if Trump wins.

    Insurance companies aren't the ones in charge.

    You may continue to believe one person's suffering is more important than another, and you can try to shout down anyone expressing any fears you personally don't "vibe" with. I'm not going to tone police you. But someday, you might find yourself needing to speak out, and I hope you meet someone like yourself when that happens. I'm sure you'll feel grateful to them.

  • "The American experiment endures," Biden said. "We're going to be OK."
  • You are going to be fine

    You can't know that. If you don't want to hear people's despair, that's fine, block it. But don't pretend that has anything to do with some supposedly "fine" future -- just be upfront about the fact that you don't care. Might as well; uncaring people are doing pretty well for themselves these days.

  • "The American experiment endures," Biden said. "We're going to be OK."
  • My mother and sister will lose access to healthcare after the Republicans repeal Obamacare.

    They will lose access to food aid when the federal entitlement programs are gutted.

    Suffering is not a competition. Your broken leg doesn't heal my broken arm.

    You find our laments annoying? Hold on sunshine, because we're just getting started.

    DoDonPachi Resurrection/Daifukkatsu and Espgaluda II (Nintendo Switch), will be delisted after December 2 -Retronauts

    The relevant bit from the larger article:

    >Following the recent delisting of Live Wire's port of the arcade shooting game Mushihimesama, they've just announced that their remaining Cave ports will also be unavailable for digital purchase from December 2 due to an expiration of their publishing license. As they stand, DoDonPachi Resurrection is currently available on Steam and iOS and will remain available for the foreseeable future, but Espgaluda II's previous ports (a Japan-only Xbox 360 port and an iOS port) are long unavailable, meaning there are no current commercial alternatives to the Switch version. Do note that both games have received separate physical runs in North America, Japan and, very recently, Europe, so you may want to look into those while the prices are still somewhat reasonable.
