hey "haha github uptime lol" and all that but this is serious: some pull request merges were completely mangled yesterday and the repo may not be in the state that its maintainers expect. If your project processed any updates yesterday, please double-check https://www.githubstatus.com/incidents/zsg1lk7w13cf

#Ukraine urges global use of 'Chornobyl' over 'Chernobyl' to respect its language, sovereignty, and decolonize place names, as with 'Kyiv' over 'Kiev'.

Spelling Matters.

I'd make a joke about a Donphan's foot, but that wasn't until gen 2.
I like to say that Pokémon gen 1 is a hot mess, but if it's still hot after 30 years and hasn't cooled off yet, it's probably a hot, radioactive mess
I have not figured out how to turn it off on any of these sites yet. Please fucking let me turn this shit off.
I'm sooooooooo fucking tired of that new pattern that several sites I use have implemented where if you click on a link it doesn't open the link, it pops open a sidebar with a preview of the thing but narrow and on top of your page. GitHub does it, GitLab does it, Sentry does it. It makes the site harder to navigate. The browser HAS A BACK BUTTON FOR A REASON.
I thiiiink I might have messed up the resistor value

You know, I always thought the paper clip maximizer thought experiment was stupid, but it really does seem like the second most likely AI apocalypse scenario at this point. Still stupid though.

(The most likely AI apocalypse scenario just happens to be the climate disaster apocalypse scenario too.)

Had to make minor tweak to get it to repro on NetBSD but it was really, really minor. Anyway, I've sent it off to their security team. Really hoping I can close the book on this vuln after a fucking decade.

In Pokémon Gen 2, if you use transform and transform into a Pokémon that knows sketch, then use it, you will permanently learn that move on that Pokémon (usually a Ditto).

In Final Fantasy VI (only version 1.0), Relm's sketch move can glitch the game out in potentially destructive ways if you use it on an enemy with no sprite (e.g. has the Invisible status).
