    Today I learned the slang "6F" to designate the whitest possible people. It's a shorthand for FFFFFF, the hexadecimal 24-bit web color code for pure white. I like the tech aspect of this slang term.

    Thanks, armchair! I agree with the need for attention (chit-chat with strangers in the subway) and the facade (loud music and public speech). Not sure about the impulse control issues, it seemed like a well-oiled routine.

    Ugh, I thought you got delivered my reply before I deleted the previous post. A PNJ (Personnage Non-Joueur) is French for NPC.

    My partner's workplace #LEGO Slack channel (!) has been asking questions about the making of this set and I put together a how-to make a color-scrambled LEGO set that I have now published on my blog.

    It's niche so I don't expect a lot of traffic but I already did the writing work so it wasn't hard to convert it to a blog post.

    ♲ @hypolite@friendica.mrpetovan.com:

    LEGO Boeing 787 "Putting back the dream in" Dreamliner

    https://friendica.mrpetovan.com/photos/hypolite/image/1010454521630272ad08bdc928409883

    This is our latest #LEGO project with my partner, using an official design as a base (in this case, the 2006 Boeing 787 Dreamliner 10177 set), and using as many different colors for the parts as possible. Most came from my existing collection, several had to be purchased in the wildest colors possible.

    To zero in on this set, I used Rebrickable Build Search feature that returns how much of which sets can be built given a pool of parts. This search engine has several interesting options, including disregarding the part colors entirely, matching only on part molds.

    This gave me a result with an extremely wide range of sets, so I had to filter further. I first limited the results to sets with more than 1,000 parts so that the patchwork of colors would be shown at a meaningful scale. The second filter was manual, I tried to find a set where color differences weren't used to denote a change of texture or geometry. This set stood out thanks to its simple geometric shape, and the base bi-tone color scheme was perfect to scramble.

    We're pretty happy with the result, and it will nicely adorn our living room shelves for a while.

    Between this and the scrutiny that people criticizing President Macron are facing in France, freedom of speech is having a rough time, and it has nothing to do with social media moderation #WellThisFuckingSucks

    Guy boarding the #NYC subway blasting music on a portable speaker: “As you are ignoring me, I’m ignoring you twice.”

    He ended up lowering his volume and even striking up conversations with a few riders, which is utterly incomprehensible to me after the passive-aggressive start.

    ♲ @johngreen@twitter.com: The United States will soon drop out of the Top 50 nations in terms of life expectancy.

    Every country above us has a public option for health insurance of a publicly funded healthcare system. Not some. Not most. Every single one.

    Dota 2 is aggressively PC-only as it is a competitive RTS using more hotkeys than you can map on a regular controller. However, its installed size wouldn't be an obstacle to play it on console as you would simply download it from the online store like I did on my computer.

    I actually already did this when I moved the user-controlled "My Documents" folder to the HDD, but Windows uses the User folder automatically for storage for apps like cache, logs, saves, etc...

    So I would have to move all or nothing, and I'm not sure it would like me to move a system folder.

    These are the system-recommended settings. I can set my own minimum/maximum but I have no idea what I'm doing.

    Select the target drive "Dota 2" (40.35 GB) should be moved to:
    • OS (C:): 24.5 GB available
    I guess I'll contend with long initial loading times.
