Never Gonna Give You Up by Robert Frost
(please try that, it'll be hilarious if it gets creative and I don't have credits)
 
Never Gonna Give You Up

by Robert Frost


I will never give you up,

I will never let you down,

I will never turn my back on you,

I will never desert you,

I will never leave you,

I will never forget you!
 
Why does that feel like something your friend says when they don't get the reference but still want to be funny with you
 
@RadvylfPrograms oh hell, I haven't seen 33 for ages
 
1:29 AM
@emanresuA NO
@RadvylfPrograms mwahaha 2 fig references
 
2:21 AM
I bought a comb
It's made of stainless steel
I really like it
Although my hair is short
It was kind of a poor financial decision
 
Use it on your sister when she least expects it
Partake in the trolling
 
It's a secret comb
My family is not aware of it

in other news: the Minecraft mob vote is today
 
Unscramble this to win a prize:
 
what's the prize?
also cmon I'm supposed to be doing something else right now I can't afford distractions!
 
Idk, maybe +200 rep or a million monopoly dollars
 
bruh
so you want us to rearrange the pixels in that image, or decode information hidden in it?
 
Rearrange the pixels
There is a recognizable image hidden
 
2:50 PM
aaaaaa
 
Me and the boys sabotaging Ginger's productivity
 
3:19 PM
what happened to Steganosaurus?
nvm found my local copy :p
there are some strange looking continuous bands of color near the middle
wait @RadvylfPrograms does this have any relation to NSMP?
blyat I need a hint
 
@RadvylfPrograms lmao nice
good pic
 
3:39 PM
attempt 1 results:
it's definitely different
where is radvylf? I need more data for meaningful answer
 
4:24 PM
The pixels aren't modified in any way, just rearranged
@thejonymyster Did you unscramble it?
 
4:36 PM
no, i already recognize it though
 
4:47 PM
@RadvylfPrograms can we have a hint to get us started?
 
It relates to my video compression adventures
 
knew it
 
4:59 PM
I think I know what the original picture was
@RadvylfPrograms unfortunately as of now you haven't revealed very much information about how exactly the compression system works
 
5:23 PM
@RadvylfPrograms how long did it take your program to encode this image? I'm worried I'm doing something wrong because my latest decoder has been running for like 30s
 
It was pretty much instant
 
well then I think I am not doing it right
also I don't know enough about NSMP to figure out how it relates to this
 
Doesn't have much to do with NSMP
We could be doing the exact same thing and be doing it dramatically different performance wise, though
 
> It relates to my video compression adventures
 
NSMP was just a practice, remember?
I've got bigger fish to shrink
 
5:26 PM
hmm
 
5:38 PM
@RadvylfPrograms How close is this one?
 
What kinda "recognizable image"s are you familiar with? :p
That also does not appear to use the same colors
 
I can recognize it as the true name of Jon Skeet...
I'm basically just taking shots in the dark here
more data required
 
JPEG
That's your hint
 
ok
 
it kinda looks like cubes in isometric perspective in some very abstract sense
like there's a lot of very vague line-like structures evenly spaced at 120 degree angles
 
5:52 PM
my failed decode or the original?
 
whatever you just posted
 
ah
 
6:39 PM
WHOA a solar eclipse is going right through Texas in 2024!
 
Even better, it's going right through the city I live in
Watch it be cloudy that day lmao
 
haha now I know you live in Waco, Texas
 
I don't think you realize quite how big Texas is :p
 
ffs the path won't be anywhere close to me
 
6:49 PM
Dammit it's a school day
I'm skipping
I'll be a senior
 
nevermind
 
It's easy, you just don't show up :p
 
how on earth did you forget to show up tho
 
@Ginger haha now I know you don't live in Waco, Texas
 
I don't think you realize quite how big the US is :p
 
6:51 PM
Oh right, the bigger the country the more Waco, Texases it has :p
Luxembourg only gets one, Russia has several hundred, most are somewhere in the middle
Confusingly every city state is called Waco
There's Waco, Texas, Andorra, and Waco, Texas, San Marino, and can't forget about Waco City where the pope lives
 
that's pretty waco
 
(But nah, I live just north of Austin)
I'm not directly in the center of the path of totality, but I'm still well within it
It'd be maybe forty minutes to drive to the very center but I'm not sure if that's worth it
 
7:42 PM
"path of totality" sounds like somewhere you dont wanna be
 
8:07 PM
How complex can font ligatures be? I want a font where typing a T will make the overline continue arbitrarily far until the next tall letter
 
ಠ_ಠ
 
@thejonymyster I think they can only be specific finite combinations of glyphs
 
... is there a limit to how many glyphs
 
8:24 PM
a 256GB font that's just overlines
 
yes
please
 
I'm in
 
8:40 PM

Q: Can I legally include a line break in my child's name?

Paul OmansEthics aside, is it legal (or even possible) to include a line break (newline) in my child's name? Preferably at the end of the child's first name, directly after the last letter. So instead of (for example) the name "John Doe", the name would always be written out "John Doe". And then when the f...

Someone's up to something
 
@UnrelatedString y'all never seen me using it before?
 
i just kind of assumed you picked it up from online acquantances from the american south
 
9:26 PM
Another day another reason to hate Elon Musk
 
You don't already have enough?
 
After being told to "fuck off" by a Ukrainian official for spreading literal Russian propaganda he has decided to cut StarLink access to Ukraine
 
what
that's just petty
The three people there who use it will be outraged
 
How to Musk:
1. Sell your technology to a country that's being invaded at double the normal price
2. Act like you're a hero for war profiteering
3. Once people realize what you're up to, find something to be offended about
4. Cut off access to the technology, mopping up any remaining expenses you might've needed to pay to maintain it
@emanresuA I've heard conflicting things on how widely used the StarLink terminals were
But some reports say that they were actually really important
 
frick

@RadvylfPrograms Nice! I was able to see the 2017 one. It was in and out of clouds for a while, and then came out of the clouds just in time for totality. :D
(also I definitely didn't remember what year that was and had to look up Tom Scott's video about it to check, lol)
