Happy #caturday everyone. This is Rigbyโs bartering service where he trades puffballs for treats. He will pick one out, often his favorite blue one, and proceed to announce his decision loudly as he carries it through the house to the office. The crying continues until he drops the puffball at which time he will tap my arm to alert me to the gift he has brought me. My role is to heap tons of praise on Rigby and reward him with a treat (or two).

- CRYING HELPS DETOX THE BODY
"Reflex tears clean out debris from your eyes, such as smoke and dust, helping protect them. Continuous tears protect your eyes from infection by keeping them moist. Emotional tears contain stress hormones and other toxins that they flush from your body."

Study: Cats in little crocheted hats shed light on feline chronic pain
Our feline overlords aren't particularly known for obeying commands from mere humans, which can make it difficult to study their behaviors in controlled laboratory settings. So a certain degree of ingenuity is required to get usable resultsโlike crocheting adorable little hats for kitties taking part in electroencephalogram (EEG) experiments. That's what researchers at the University of Montreal in Quebec, Canada, did to learn more about assessing chronic pain in catsโand they succeeded. According to their recent paper published in the Journal of Neuroscience Methods, it's the first time scientists have recorded the electrical activity in the brains of conscious cats.

....So Valve just updated the Steam Subscriber Agreement and
they removed the binding arbitration clause and the class action waiver???????
They straight up inverted itโthe previous wording about exclusive jurisdiction for court proceedings was amended (diff) to remove the reference to the (now-deleted) binding arbitration section, and to make the statement apply retroactively (I highlighted the new text in bold):
You and Valve agree that all disputes and claims between you and Valve (including any dispute or claim that arose before the existence of this or any prior agreement) shall be commenced and maintained exclusively in any state or federal court located in King County, Washington, having subject matter jurisdiction.
IANAL, idk if the new text actually adds something that wasn't already in the agreement, etc.

Is corru.observer a widely known browser game? I played it last Thanksgiving week while I was meeting my grandfather for only the second time in my long-ass life and my grandmother for the first time in ~25 years. It was a weird trip that was perfect for late nights of playing a trippy game.
I think about it just about weekly, despite not having played it since. With #cohost dying, I'm sad I won't get my occasional dose of news and fanart there. Will I resurrect a tumblr account for following fanart? Quite possibly. ๐ฃ
Anyway, if you can handle the intensity of the visuals, it's a great game: corru.observer/

That would presumably be a hedge against a certain end-of-life that's looming next year. Valve are preparing a feel-good, shrink-wrapped, fully supported desktop OS to offer to users who don't opt for a spurious hardware refresh for which they never asked.
Valve do care about the health of "the desktop" as a concept. Without TPM or AI.
