This is your reminder that Chuck Norris was a hateful, racist ghoul.
@alda oh thanks, I hadn’t known the past tense applied to him yet. Good riddance.

@alda @populistensohn You ever wonder why there are soooo many Chuck Norris jokes and absolutely no Bruce Lee jokes?
It’s because Bruce Lee was no joke.

@alda so it turned out, Chuck Norris was the Joke...

@alda and quite a few other famous people. Perhaps we should stop making people famous.

@Netraven You are very intelligent.

@alda I'll take it.

@AccordingtoWouter @alda I'm surprised people didn't already know about him. He has been a hateful, horrible person for a very very long time.
I do sort of wish that it wasn't like 99% of celebrities that people like who ultimately turn out to be absolute crap though. What ever happened to celebrities at least *pretending* to be good even if they weren't? These days they're just completely open and proud to be horrible.
@nazokiyoubinbou @alda To be honest, I had to look him up (after seeing this thread) to find out who Chuck Norris was. Then I recognised his face. I must have seen him in a film or something. Other than that, he didn’t ring a bell.

@alda And apparently alive yesterday. Who knew?

@AccordingtoWouter @alda He was before my time — perhaps before the time of many here — but I'm surprised you hadn't run into him. Well, he was largely an American star in crappy beat-em-up shows and such, so you may have had less chance to run into him as directly. There are... a lot of Internet memes though. I'm surprised you haven't run into those. Or perhaps you have and just forgot? I guess it has been a while on most of them.

@nazokiyoubinbou @AccordingtoWouter If Wouter here is able to look him up, then let's leave it at that.

@alda
While I know nothing about him, it wouldn't be hard for me to believe -

@nazokiyoubinbou @alda Don’t laugh, but internet memes? Where on earth would I come across them?
That sort of film isn’t really my cup of tea. That’s probably why it didn’t look familiar to me.

@AccordingtoWouter @alda "Don’t laugh, but internet memes? Where on earth would I come across them?"
You're... literally *on* the Internet as you write that and as you see my response. There are memes all over the Fediverse. That said, I will concede that Chuck Norris memes are old and I'm not surprised if you didn't see them on Mastodon.
Those shows and movies aren't my thing either. I've never seen a single thing Chuck Norris was in I'm happy to say. I lost nothing finding out he was bad

@nazokiyoubinbou @alda I decided to look up what internet memes are :). Pictures with text. But I don’t really come across them that often here on Mastodon. And certainly not with that Chuck.
In any case, it was another educational day today.

@AccordingtoWouter Technically a meme is anything repetitive — generally done in a form of "you're supposed to laugh because you're supposed to laugh" (rather than you're supposed to laugh because it's funny.) It's most frequently presented in the form of pictures with text, but doesn't have to be. If you've ever had the misfortune to watch the American version of The Office, you'll know well what memes are from it...
A good example would be the "have you ever sat on" polls going around.

@alda I'll miss the meme material, not much else.

Social Debug: il Crystal Ball e la generazione che sapeva soffiare
Crystal Ball, Slime, Exogini, Palla Pazza, Clic-Clac. Noi soffiavamo in una cannuccia e imparavamo la fisica. La GenAlpha scrolla. Chi è cresciuto davvero?

Mantenere mobile, duttile, l'opinione pubblica permette di attizzarla facilmente, non farla consolidare, batterla col martello della propria violenza, sfruttare tutti i mezzi di controllo e di manipolazione che hanno bisogno di un prodotto malleabile
Se si mantiene caldo un campo, si può mantenerne un altro freddo: invisibile, lontano dall'attenzione, stabile. Il campo del controllo, dei rapporti nascosti
La legittimazione è importante solo nella misura in cui permette di mantenere la posizione

@adrianomorselli sono sempre i migliori, quelli che sé ne vanno 😂

Legittimità è una costruzione di regole, accettate o subite, ma riconosciute come reali
La distruzione di tutto ciò può frammentare ulteriormente i legami sociali in essere, magari per essere ristrutturati a piacimento di altri
Ma chi continua a distruggere può imporsi solo con la forza e la sua esibizione, quindi anche minacce, atti di violenza, guerre
La guerra diventa forza primaria di legittimazione, tenuta sempre attiva per continuare a distruggere e mantenere mobile l'opinione pubblica
-
La legittimità non è un ordine superiore che scende dal cielo sugli uomini, checché ne dicano alcuni
La legittimità è un riconoscimento dato da un insieme di persone, che sia comunità, massa di persone, o massa di individui nella loro bolla collegati da un tessuto artificialmente sociale
La legittimità è costruita, più raramente spontanea, si esprime e regola con atti comunicativi e assunzione di valori
La legittimità è una cessione di forza per sostenere un progetto

Conway’s Game of Life With Physical Buttons
Conway’s Game of Life excels in its simplicity, creating a cellular automaton on a 2D grid where each cell obeys a set of very simple rules that determine whether a cell is ‘alive’ or ‘dead’. After setting an initial condition the ‘game’ then evolves naturally from there, creating an endless series of patterns as a simplified form of bacterial evolution. Of course, setting an initial state and then watching cells light up or fade away seems like a natural fit for light-up buttons. After struggling with intrusive thoughts related to such a project for a while, [Michal Zalewski] finally gave in, creating a pretty amazing looking result.
Although there is no set size for the game board, [Michal] was constrained by his budget for the selected NKK JB15LPF-JF tactile buttons, resulting in a 17×17 matrix. That’s 289 buttons, for those keeping score, which comes down to over $1,000 over at e.g. Digikey even with quantity-based pricing. Add to this the custom PCB and a Microchip AVR128DA64 squeezed in a corner of said PCB to run the whole show and it’s quite the investment.
Finishing up the PCB, driving the lights is done with a duty cycle as the matrix is scanned along with detecting inputs in a similar manner. This required the addition of MOSFETs and transistors, the details of which can be found in the downloadable project files, along with the firmware source code. In the article a video of the board in action can be watched, allowing one to admire the very pretty wooden enclosure as well.
