#Cure Byte

[mynzeiidiamension]

So there was another Server event on discord where we were given different color palettes to create a Pretty Cure fan series, my palette being; Royal Blue, Teal, Lime Green, Fuchsia, Orange. Using those colors i whipped up;

Cyber-Rift Pretty Cure Code: Kaiju

Themes: Futuristic, Kaiju, Isekai?, Cyberpunk, Mecha, Emotions, Senses

Synopsis:

While working on a mandatory cyber group project, Hitomi stumbles upon an ancient hard drive with coordinates to the Mysterious abandoned dorm where she meets the enigmatic PEIR (PEIROVACS), an advanced AI who presents her the Hyperlink-Cell and tasks her with restoring balance to a parallel dimension known as the Primeval Colossus Realm. Realizing she can't do it alone, she invites her group mates —Yasuko, Sara, Kaori, and Jina to help her with this mission. As they transform into Cures they form the Cyber Rift Pretty Cure Code: Kaiju. Will they be able to stop the realm from colliding, save the corrupted Kaiju’s. What mysteries will they solve, allies they meet on the way and secrets they uncover in their own home realm. Will their friendship blossom prettily and cure the faults within them, creating life lesson moments?

I have a lot of information about this fanseries that I can't wait to share, just need to finish the art accompanying said information 😅but in due time all will be revealed. I have gotten quite attached to this series even tho it was created for an event. I hope ya'll love these girls as much as i do! ❤️✨

[why-bless-your-heart]

@bytes-and-blessings I disagree for a few reasons. 1. It was established in the beginning that Martha’s inability to walk was psychosomatic. That’s not to say that she wasn’t disabled, but it didn’t have a physical root. 2. Fantasizing about being magically healed isn’t ableist. It’s wish-fulfillment. 3. Martha did like 90% of her growth and development while still in the wheelchair. She was an active and beloved member of her community, and the only reason they were looking to cure her in the first place was because she wanted to be. 4. Brian Jacques started off writing these books for disabled kids. He very explicitly wanted to write stories that were fun for them, that were exciting, that were enjoyable. And sometimes fun and exciting and enjoyable means “What if you were loved so much that people went on a quest for your sake, what if you were able to help protect your home, what if — when you needed it more than anything — you got what it was you wanted.”

“i try to laugh about it / hiding the tears in my eyes” – the cure, boys don't cry

“i didn’t want you to hear / that shake in my voice / my pain is my own” – car seat headrest, 1937 state park

“i don’t know why i am / the way i am, not strong enough to be your man” – boygenius, not strong enough

▸ GWEN, who all too familiar with what it's like to keep up a tough act for the sake of not falling apart.

she's grown accustomed to letting emotions eat away at her until they're too big to deal with. which is why she's quick to feel empathy when she sees that you do the same thing.

she won't force you to talk about anything you don't want to– but if you need an outlet, she hands you her drum sticks.

"maybe it'll help you like it helps me." gwen explains, giving you that awkward little smile of hers that makes everything weighing on you feel a little less heavy.

always trying to help you find a way to channel your emotions. even if drumming doesn't work for you. maybe it's singing. maybe it's art. or maybe you just need to cry. no matter what it is, she doesn't mind. she just wants you to let it out in a healthy way.

▸ HOBIE is instantly aware of the fact you're the type to laugh and joke around to hold back tears.

you're trying your hardest to keep smiling, but he sees it falter as you try to speak, choking out the words while holding back a sob.

"'s okay to cry, y'know? no one 'round here but us anyways." he reassures.

you take a sharp inhale, knowing it was useless to pretend. he was always emotionally intelligent, able to read you like a book. sometimes you wondered if he could read your mind. or maybe he was just attentive with you.

he puts a hand on your back, gently rubbing as you feel the tears run down your cheeks. this turns into an arm around your shoulder as you cry, until you're fully sobbing– he decides to just pull your into his arms.

he's still holding you close, even as your cries subside into sniffles. always encourages you to be real with him. there's nothing he loves more than you being unfiltered– even if it means expressing negative emotions. to hobie, vulnerability is bravery.

▸ JESSICA DREW who's quick to notice you the minute you turn away to conceal your face.

she pulls you aside discreetly, knowing you probably didn't want attention of others. tries to meet you eye-level, asks you directly about what's wrong.

after a few seconds of silence, you finally break.

"i feel so weak." you sniffle, not meeting her eyes.

"for doing a little crying?" she sighs a little, shaking her head. "not at all. you're strong– you've been strong. but even strong people gotta cry."

she'll talk you through it or just sit beside you, offering you advice or even just a space to vent. she's very busy all the time– but she'll set aside time for you. tells you that hiding from emotions only works for so long and that tells you that you aren't any less tough in her eyes for feeling them.

you're only human after all. you deserve to live out the wholeness of the human experience.

▸ LYLA isn't really all too involved with your day-to-day life shenanigans (being the best ai assistant is hard), but she always makes a point to check up on you when she gets the chance.

besides, miguel sure isn't gonna gossip with her like you do.

"you doing good?" she'll ask, grinning.

you only respond with a weak "yeah" and the fakest chuckle she's ever heard, as you clearly attempt to blink back tears.

she doesn't know what to do. tries to wipe the tears that eventually fall with a virtual hand that phases right through your face. well. at least she had good intentions.

"hey, hey–" lyla gets you to take a deep breath. "look at me."

she says your name, regrounding you. you look up at her, and for a moment, she's certain that she's felt something akin to sympathy. she's felt something real.

lyla doesn't let that distract her from her objective– right now, she's gotta comfort you.

she repeats your name, "...it's okay. you cry if you feel like it."

▸ MARGO who sits you down, letting you be the one to speak first when your smile wavers.

"i hate fuckin' crying.." you laugh weakly, trying to make the situation better. it doesn't help control the tears. "i feel so lame for it."

"you know," she whispers, taking your hands in yours, "i still think you're pretty cool."

she gives you a grin that's so earnest– so sweet– that lets you know she's being honest.

"okay, so this might be stupid,, butttt–" encourages you two to listen to some moody music so you can get whatever you've bottled up out of you systems. it's cathartic, crying your eyes out with her as whatever the two of you have queued up blasts in the background.

doesn't judge you one bit for crying.

"only way out is through." she shrugs. "gotta feel it before you can actually let it go."

▸ MILES (1610) who had just asked an innocent question about how your doing, now watching as you struggle to respond.

after a strained moment of searching for words, you shrink away and hide your face in your hands. he scoots by your side, asking before gently taking your hands away from your face.

"what's wrong?" his voice is soft. gentle as he looks at you with the sweetest concerned expression.

"i shouldn't be crying.. it's stupid... i feel so, so stupid–"

he frowns at these words. "i don't think it's stupid."

societal expectations forcing people to put on a tough act just to conceal emotions deemed as "weakness?" not a new concept to him. he's just sad that it's impacted you so deeply.

after this, will actively check up on how you're doing emotionally. will pull you aside to have a heart-to-heart if he senses the slightest thing off. terrified of being shut out by you, will always offer for the two of you to deal with whatever you're struggling with together.

▸ MILES (42) who asks more bluntly than he had intended when he senses you're not doing okay.

you take a sharp inhale, giving him an unsteady smile which only makes him sigh. no matter how much you try to make the situation lighthearted, his expression never changes.

"nah. you're not fooling me." he walks over to you, his voice softening as he looks at you. "...what's got you upset?"

a really good listener. lets you rest your head on his shoulder as you vent and let it out.

he's not the most open himself, so of course he understands– but he doesn't want you to be like him.

you thank him for putting up with your breakdown, feeling a little awkward as you pull your cheek away from his shoulder and look at him.

you watch as he falters for a moment, gently grabbing your arm and pulling you in for a warm, slightly stiff, side-hug.

"don't thank me for that– it's just what you deserve." though his quick to dismissal of what you'd said seems to be the end of his sentence– you watch as he unclenches his jaw, hesitating before he says something else.

"anytime. i mean it."

▸ MIGUEL who is jus like u for reals doesn't quite know how to cope with emotions either. that doesn't give him an excuse to not try with you.

he can't find the right words, but you see the empathy in his eyes. he offers quiet comfort– places a hand on your back, rubbing it as you lean into his side

"don't hide your face from me." he mutters to you. "it's just me."

your hands fall from your face into your lap, shoulders slumping. he feels you tremble softly, as you to reply.

"this should be for me to deal with. i should be strong enough." your words echo in his mind.

maybe because he's told himself the same thing too many times before as well. it's painful, the way that this moment with you reflects a mirror image of himself.

will crumble his own walls if it means you'll do the same. tries to be open to encourage you. you'll learn together.

▸ NOIR who is a gentleman through and through. always. tells you that he'll give you anything you need.

"i don't know what nitwit told you it wasn't okay for you to cry," his choice of words makes you crack a slight genuine smile, "but you don't have to believe them one second."

as your facade slowly crumbles, his gloved hands cup your face as you cry. he dries your cheeks, patiently nodding as he listened to you ramble on about everything you've been holding back.

when you've calmed down, he presses a kiss to your forehead.

to ache like this and still be concerned over burdening others– he's now finds little ways to remind you how precious you are to him. that he'll always care.

▸ PAVITR, who approaches you as delicately as possible. he tries not to do anything that will make you feel backed into a corner.

he knows that feeling scared can lead to lashing out. tries to be casual about it to ensure you're as comfortable as possible.

you crack an obviously forced joke and he glances at you questioningly.

"you're not telling me something, aren't you?" he asks. pavitr's secretly hoping he was good at playing this careful– but you had picked up that he wanted to talk to you about it for a while now.

you're both obvious.

your grin fades as you chuckle dryly. "i don't... i don't want to– it's embarrassing."

"what's embarrassing is that i didn't notice earlier. don't be shy. we can figure it out together, okay?"

offers all the help he can. even (secretly) messages gayatri for "advice for a friend" you!!! you are friend!!!!! he doesn't name drop tho. privacy king.

▸ PETER B(E MY WIFE) PARKER. the one who drags you outside to chat about it and cracks a stupid joke himself. it alleviates no tension at all.

"..ahh,, no, nevermind that kid. you okay?"

a shake of your head and his smile fades a bit. he grips your shoulder, shaking you gently.

"been there plenty of times. trust me– better to get it out now."

and for a while, it's just a conversation. you're both sitting outside, the night air bringing a chill to your skin. he offers his jacket– and then proceeds to pull you into it while he still wears it, your back pressed to his chest.

it goes unspoken, but he knew you had been struggling for a while now. he's relieved to finally get a moment with you.

he'll always be looking out for you. even if you don't realize.

▸ THE SPOT/JOHNATHAN OHNN panics ever so slightly. this is the first time you've ever cried in front of him. so he does what he does best– and just asks questions.

"you've been bottling it up this whole time?"

"mhm..."

"for how long?..." your response causes him to pause, blinking several times before parting his lips to speak again. "...oh. oh wow– yikes–" he means well i swear.

will scour the multiverse in search of a quiet place for you to lay this all to rest.

you admit, you're certain you don't need all this– but he seems happy to put in the effort and lead you into a portal into a nice area to relax.

"are we breaking and entering into someone's house?!"

"uh– don't worry about it for now."

Back to thinking about if my spiderverse was a video game..

Thinking rn about like.. it being a low-poly type that is like.. reminiscent of some older Spider-Man games, like the N64 (high-key) or PS2 (low-key).. have a less realistic art style to save on resources and time.. but low-poly Acedia and Otto would be so cute to see!!

voice acting could be optional, but I do like the idea of there being some voice lines here and there.. ough it would be so cool and fun.. getting to jumping around and interact with various characters and explore a very green and lush NYC while beating up some random thugs, doing stealth missions, and detective work, too, while hearing Acedia and others speak.. Maybe not full voice acting. That'd be too much.

alternatively it could be like Undertale's "voices" where each character has a distinctive sound-byte that plays when their text is rolling. (forgot what that was called exactly)

Plot: black inky spots opening up all across NYC and you, Acedia, need to figure out who-- or what-- is causing them and figure out how to fix this. Going around NYC to help some NPC's and engage with others of her Rogues Gallery to gather enough information to find The Spot and take him on.

Some boss fights I can imagine happening:

Green Goblin: Run from him while hopping from car to car during rush hour. It's a Father-Son bonding moment as Hobby tosses little pumpkin grenades out at you as he rides on his dad's back. You're there for target practice, but don't worry, those pumpkins are duds.

Electra: Subdue her and get her to calm down. You gotta dodge her attacks and solve some puzzles to tire her out! (that's a pun.. implying what you're gonna trap her with)

Lizard: Chase Curt down in the sewers to take him back to Martha for a cure. Solve puzzles to get through the maze, unlocking valves and fending off rats and floods.

Rhino: Steer her out of the way of civilians and traffic while directing her towards the beach. The sand will surely slow her down and stop her impromptu rampage!

Mysterio: Play a little game of cat and mouse with him and he'll give you what you came for. His parlor is full of tricks and traps, but also plenty of spots for you to hide and swing from, as well as plenty of mannequins and illusions for you to swipe at! All the while, the marvelous Mysterio is enjoying this little game. He'd been waiting for your next visit for awhile, after all. Please, visit him more often. ;)

The Spot: Final boss of the game. Your job is to subdue him and get him to go back to his dimension. Attack the hands that come out of the portals he makes and avoid the larger portals where he comes charging out from. You can distract him with objects in the vicinity that make noise to give you a chance to land some good kicks.

Not a boss, but neat little mini-event things that ties into the story and makes things a little more fun and interactive:

Vulture: A reskin of Rhino, except this time, you control Vulture and have to maneuver around through the skyscrapers and obstacles to get to your destination. Otto is unavailable, but Grandpa Toomes isn't and helps to drop you off at a particular warehouse.

Eagle-Eye Swarm: Mini mission that requires taking out a swarm of Eagle-Eye bots sent out by J. Jonah Jameson to try and capture video and photo evidence of you. He's always trying to get a clear shot of the so-called 'Cryptid Crawler'.

Doc Ock: Wanna unlock a new skill? If you have enough Sloth Tokens, you can head back over to Otto and take him on! He's got a few little courses and challenges set up, too, to test your skills and teach you some new tricks.

Post-Game fun:

Mad Jack: Like a reskin of Green Goblin, but hard mode and is unlocked in the post-game. The pumpkins aren't duds this time around, so watch out!

Rematches! You can take on the many bosses again whenever you want, but they'll be more of a challenge this time around! I hope you're ready!

Maim: Bonus Boss Battle. Watch out for those webs, claws, and that wicked bite! Maim is fast and strong, and is causing trouble in the name of revenge against Sai.. They're very hung up about that. Your job is to survive and wear Maim down. There's 3 stages to this fight: 1) Laboratory Brawl, 2) Ventilation Maze Chase, 3) Final Fight on the roof. (a somewhat comedic ending where once defeated, the symbiote bails on Cagney Kasady cuz it got bored, leaving them to be apprehended.)

Secret bonus playable character!

Ferrol: If you've collected every secret Love Monkey Plush hidden around the game, you'll unlock the ability to play as Sai ( @bunny-j3st3r ) and Ferrol. This adds some fun new dialogue for the bosses when challenged. (unlocking this unlocked a bonus boss battle post-game (vs Maim)! also, you can swap between the two characters by visiting Otto's place where you'll find Sai hanging out in his lab and helping him with symbiote research)

There would be a 2 player mode, too, where you could play as both Acedia and Sai/Ferrol with custom cut-scenes and dialogue, too. Difficulty might be upped a little bit, too.

In the werewolf movie we watched last night, it starts on halloween, and some college kids are having a really awkward party where they are confessing personal stuff as a party game (with no music so its extra awkward). and one of the guys pulls out this app called BYTE and it has a 4.7 rating and he's like guys there's this app that turns you into a werewolf. i had to like, order 25 dollar werewolves blood and they sent it to me and we have to go to the graveyard and do a ritual and i have to drink the blood and i'll get powers. and they legit do that and he spills the blood on the phone and the phone says "BLOOD DETECTED" and it sucks the blood up. i'm making this movie sound a lot more interesting than it is but god the beginning was hysterical. and the turns out the guy that made the app was a professor that had a son sick with cancer and he realized he could cure the cancer if he turned him into a werewolf

…Oh? A pelipper just dropped off a letter. Addressed from uhhhhhh-

“From: Vincent (The really hot famous one)”

Oh! I remember this guy! He’s the one that’s like- the taller one with ungodly amounts of makeup. Yeah I know who this is. Lemme attach what he wrote (putting it below a read more, since its kinda long)

“This weird bird just came crashing through my window with a note asking if I wanted to send a letter back so.. here you go.

Life has been.. interesting. Had to uh, ‘deal with’ Nine again. But he’s.. not gonna be a problem anymore! (still can’t believe he got brought back.)

I’ve got good news though. Two things actually

One: IM FUCKING MARRIED BITCHESSSSS!!! It doesn’t even feel real if I’m being honest. But, cod, she’s so beautiful. I seriously don’t know how he fell in love with me of all people. I’ll attach the wedding photos to this letter.

Two: We did it. We actually fucking did it. We have an honest-to-cod cure for sanitization… kinda. As far as we’re aware, there’s no way to fully cure sanitization. What you can do though, is restore free-will to fully sanitized people… with a bit of luck. Let me try to explain.

First off, her name is Coral. She was fully sanitized relatively recently, during the commander’s final stand. Because of how recent it was we were able to pretty easily find who she was before (with some help from Octavio). This was important because to reverse it at all, we need genetically similar healthy cells to act as a kinda catalyst. We got insanely lucky with Coral as she had a living twin who agreed to help, and we managed to recover her.

Even if you meet all these conditions though, you still can’t fully reverse it. Even with partial sanitization your body kinda grows a reliance on the stuff, making it near impossible to remove without… yk. There’s potential to reduce some scarring, but that’s about all that can be done for someone like me.

Anyways, she’s recovering now. She’s got her free will back (which honestly, that’s the most important part). We’re working with the C.Q.s to try and recover as much data about each subject as possible. They’ve been shockingly helpful, all things considered.

But I’ll stop talking now though and let you all see the photos. They're pretty cool :]”

[Image attachments: The first photo is of Byte, wearing a gorgeous wedding dress. It’s a sleek white dress that fades to purple near the bottom. The darker part is embroidered with silver constellations.

The second photo is of Vincent, wearing an incredibly sharp suit. It’s accented with shades of deep rust and gold.

The third photo has them together, Vincent… taller than Byte? He’s leaning over her shoulder with a smug grin

…it’s painfully obvious he’s standing on a box or two.]

Think that’s everything? Oh- wait nope, one more

[Image attachment: It’s an octoling. Her skin is typical of a sanitized octoling, but she has soft teal eyes and blue tentacles that fade to a vibrant pink near the end. She’s.. smiling. It’s small, but genuine.]

…I don't really have a lot to say on that one. Uh- wow. Just wow.

Also holy carp a version of me got married-

[the-real-satan-the-devil-of-hell]

I want you to remember this you souless heathen. Knowledge is endless, right.

Do we know if we run on or require electricity for our human body to run (as in electricity itself to charge us)?. As far as we know, no. Is there a cure for cancer, as of right now? No.

Now. There is a reason for this part here below.

You were born,out of your mother womb into this... Shitty gods' or big bang creation of earth. You weren't created like we create ai in the sense of knowing every little detail (the ins and outs), starting from scratch etc. we don't know how much storage a human has or equals too.

You little puny human, grew up. You evolved, you learned things. Like draw, science, maths etc. What is required for you to function? How much food do you need? How long can you survive?

Puny humans are efficient(keyword here). You were born very efficient.

Take your eyes. Let's say it takes a picture of what you see. What file format?. Let say raw. It captures every detail that is visible ax1at that position. File size is less than a byte. That kind of efficient.

A smartphone or camera can take a raw image (dng, nef etc). It's owns way of capturing (different lens, bayer pattern etc). That raw image, at the moment, contain large amounts of potentially redundant data. Size between 10 mb to 30+ mb for a single raw image. It's not as efficient as the way humans process it.

Now. I want stupid ai to generate a realistic image of 1971 Dodge Challenger.

First I going to create the ai. I have train the ai on data in order to create the prompt. It require data such as millions of images of 1971 Dodge Challenger. Remember how the image was take, what it contains and size of those images. And, if I want to generate random (like from different angles), take from different sides/angles.

The details of the images is not as full as the eyes see an actual 1971 Dodge Challenger.

The amount of data(size) is huge. The file formats are not efficient to where like 1kb contain the entire information of a 1971 Dodge Challenger car as like real scale model. More than millions of petrabytes of data stored on like a server. All just for ai to output with just a mediocre image of just 1971 Dodge Challenger. That's it.

Face swap. Put perfect scrumptious Chris Pratt face over mother's dog disgusting Eloné Muskay's face. The current hardware such rtx 4090 and i9 14th gen. About 1-2 weeks of training to then use that data to start outputting a 5 second video. And it's mediocre and not good enough for me to want to use the ai.

I'll do it myself as I have the necessary tools, eyes, brain etc. to do it and I am efficient at it as well as efficient at using my body's resources. I can cut out frame by frame, I can use little amounts of images etc. all by hand. It may take a while but the results are much better.

Heck, if there is a new unidentified object/thing and not much in our current huge ever growing collection knowledge of information can help us identify it, how the fuck is ai going to identify it. What?, then name the fat bug-like monster with juicy ass, "glorksi cockupiss" or this rock-mermaid-like "titty titty clang clang". Let me real here.

it's to much data, size, storage, hardware, hardware upgrade etc. and I mean way to much. It's not even possible for the hardware requirements yet, to output any prompt, for even one person, that would be worth using/pleasing/realistic.

Now imagine a million prompts per hour. The amount of storage. It's beyond yottabytes of training data. Constantly upgrading storage for more space every second. You would have to build a robot that would run so fast. Faster than flash. Faster than saving Barry's mom before Barry (aka flash).

Huge hardware servers. Extreme amount of cost every second that they would have to shut the ai down and bankrupting the company.

You humans are efficient. You guys take your time. There is a reason things are still around like Tumblr. There is enough time for advancement in storage and hardware etc. , for the companies to upgrade and keep up with us (our posting, our work etc.)

Ai is useless ass shit that is so inefficient.

AI hasn't improved in 18 months. It's likely that this is it. There is currently no evidence the capabilities of ChatGPT will ever improve. It's time for AI companies to put up or shut up.

I'm just re-iterating this excellent post from Ed Zitron, but it's not left my head since I read it and I want to share it. I'm also taking some talking points from Ed's other posts. So basically:

We keep hearing AI is going to get better and better, but these promises seem to be coming from a mix of companies engaging in wild speculation and lying.

Chatgpt, the industry leading large language model, has not materially improved in 18 months. For something that claims to be getting exponentially better, it sure is the same shit.

Hallucinations appear to be an inherent aspect of the technology. Since it's based on statistics and ai doesn't know anything, it can never know what is true. How could I possibly trust it to get any real work done if I can't rely on it's output? If I have to fact check everything it says I might as well do the work myself.

For "real" ai that does know what is true to exist, it would require us to discover new concepts in psychology, math, and computing, which open ai is not working on, and seemingly no other ai companies are either.

Open ai has already seemingly slurped up all the data from the open web already. Chatgpt 5 would take 5x more training data than chatgpt 4 to train. Where is this data coming from, exactly?

Since improvement appears to have ground to a halt, what if this is it? What if Chatgpt 4 is as good as LLMs can ever be? What use is it?

As Jim Covello, a leading semiconductor analyst at Goldman Sachs said (on page 10, and that's big finance so you know they only care about money): if tech companies are spending a trillion dollars to build up the infrastructure to support ai, what trillion dollar problem is it meant to solve? AI companies have a unique talent for burning venture capital and it's unclear if Open AI will be able to survive more than a few years unless everyone suddenly adopts it all at once. (Hey, didn't crypto and the metaverse also require spontaneous mass adoption to make sense?)

There is no problem that current ai is a solution to. Consumer tech is basically solved, normal people don't need more tech than a laptop and a smartphone. Big tech have run out of innovations, and they are desperately looking for the next thing to sell. It happened with the metaverse and it's happening again.

In summary:

Ai hasn't materially improved since the launch of Chatgpt4, which wasn't that big of an upgrade to 3.

There is currently no technological roadmap for ai to become better than it is. (As Jim Covello said on the Goldman Sachs report, the evolution of smartphones was openly planned years ahead of time.) The current problems are inherent to the current technology and nobody has indicated there is any way to solve them in the pipeline. We have likely reached the limits of what LLMs can do, and they still can't do much.

Don't believe AI companies when they say things are going to improve from where they are now before they provide evidence. It's time for the AI shills to put up, or shut up.

Seamless Business Operations: The Role Of Professional IT Support

Imagine a workplace where technology dances to your tune, where every click, swipe, and interaction hums with effortless rhythm. No more frantic troubleshooting, no more productivity-stifling tech headaches, just the smooth, flowing melody of seamless operations. This is the harmonious and smooth symphony conducted by the maestro of modern business: professional information technology (IT) support.

But beyond the dreamy vision, what instruments do tech virtuosos, companies like Solutions 4 IT, wield? How do they transform your IT infrastructure into a finely tuned orchestra, playing flawlessly in perfect harmony with your business goals?

This post will cover that. Keep on reading to learn more.

The Unwavering Foundation: Building Your Digital Fortress

Think of your IT infrastructure as the stage upon which your business performs. Servers, networks, and software are the sturdy pillars, the intricate wiring, the very bedrock of your digital ecosystem.

Professional IT support, your tech architects, meticulously construct and fortify this fortress with unwavering precision. They proactively monitor your systems like vigilant stagehands, identifying and resolving potential glitches before they turn into disruptive ovations.

They stay abreast of the latest security threats, crafting robust cyber defenses that act as your digital bodyguards, keeping your data safe from prying eyes and malicious attacks.

Think of professional IT support as the cybersecurity percussion section, creating a rhythmic barrier against digital dissonance. But they’re not just protectors; they’re innovators as well. They act as your tech compass, guiding you towards cutting-edge solutions and workflow symphonies that optimize efficiency and boost your competitive edge. Think automation, cloud solutions, and the latest productivity tools – professional IT support unlocks the future, one byte at a time, ensuring your performance stays fresh and cutting-edge.

The unexpected loves to crash uninvited parties. But with professional IT support as your tech confidante, even the most unforeseen tech storms become manageable. They meticulously plan for disaster, mapping out recovery strategies that get you back on stage, faster than a conductor rallying the orchestra after a dropped baton. No more sleepless nights spent frantically looking up ‘data recovery’ on the web for answers.

With professional IT support, you sleep soundly, knowing your digital world is in capable hands, with backup singers ready to fill the gaps if any notes falter.

The Cost-Saving Chorus: ROI And Partnership – The Sweetest Melody

Every business decision boils down to one question: ‘Is it worth it?’ When it comes to professional IT support, the answer is a resounding ‘Bravo!’ Their expertise pays for itself in countless ways. Fewer tech hiccups mean increased productivity and boosted employee morale, like a chorus singing in perfect harmony.

Proactive maintenance prevents costly downtime and data breaches, ensuring your performance doesn’t incur unexpected expenses.

Indeed, professional IT support isn’t just an expense; it’s an investment in the future of your business, ensuring your financial performance hits all the right notes.

Interlude: Beyond the Technical Curtain – The Human Symphony

While flawless technology forms the foundation of seamless operations, the true magic lies in its impact on the human side of the equation.

Empowering the Ensemble: The Human Melody

Picture a workforce no longer chained to frustrating tech hurdles. Professional IT support’s proactive support and personalized training liberates employees from tech anxieties, allowing them to focus on their unique talents.

Imagine designers seamlessly crafting visuals without software hiccups, marketers sending campaigns with click-perfect precision, and salespeople closing deals with digital tools singing in perfect harmony. This is the human crescendo professional IT support conducts, boosting morale, enhancing creativity, and unleashing the full potential of your team.

The Customer Concerto: A Seamless Overture to Loyalty

In the digital age, customer experience is the curtain call. Professional IT support helps businesses craft seamless customer journeys, ensuring every interaction is an effortless aria.

Imagine websites that load like lightning, online stores where checkout dances gracefully to fingertips, and support channels that resolve issues with a single, harmonious note. This is the customer concerto professional IT support composes, turning fleeting website visitors into loyal brand ambassadors, singing your praises far and wide.

The Human-Tech Duet: Leading the Innovation Chorus

The future of business lies in the perfect duet of human ingenuity and technological prowess. Professional IT support recognizes this, actively collaborating with your team to identify pain points, brainstorm solutions, and implement transformative technologies. This collaborative spirit fosters a culture of innovation, where employees, empowered by seamless technology, become co-conductors in the symphony of your business evolution.

So that was the way of it then... This other version had finally encountered another, more common, of their number. Maverick. That explained a lot of the reactions now going on, those prepped tensions Vile could note in every motion. He damn well knew what to look for in various opponents, recognized the bubbling anger ready to lash out, rip apart the nearest target until the threat was neutralized. It's what their build was always meant for, down to every last nut and bolt, bits and bytes.

Combat to the core.

Vile shifted his stance slowly then, keeping both hands in open view as he was trained to do so long ago when facing a potential threat that had yet to escalate into a full fight. Try and neutralize the potential fight before taking shots... It had never been his strongest point, but the attempt was there none the less.

"Alright, fine. Don't say I didn't give you a chance... Though I can't help but ask... Did you kill him? The other us. Because if even a single scrap is left, I'll finish the job. Sigma has a way of not letting us stay fucking dead." The sheer cold bitterness that laced his tone was nothing short of venom on every consonant. Barely containing his rage. Because now was a time for answers and not war.

He was so bad at this shit. "Honest answer? I'm clean now. Forcefully I'll admit. Was taken down, but then taken in somewhere to be cured. Fucking cured, and my glitch repaired, the same god damn one Sigma used to get me to follow him in the first place." He was making direct eye contact, or, well, as best as either of them could do being fully obscured by those helmets.

To further try and show he was not a threat, it was with but a thought that the ammo chain to his shoulder cannon... Detached. It unhooked, leaving him at a rather large disadvantage. A show he was not hostile maybe. He hoped it'd be taken as such. "When you first met me, I was already clean then too...."

"When the first waves hit, and the commander went Maverick, I had a broken glitch in my electronic brain. Sigma kept covering it up, erasing it from the books or repair over views. Not even I fucking knew, and he made sure of that. Used me like a fucking tool! Bastard wanted me to be his scape goat and war dog! Eventually he had a hard time even controlling that as he infected me slowly, bit by bit... And every time I was killed, I had peace- until the fucker rebuilt me with every part he could reclaim, again and again."

He hated this. Hated it so fucking much., But once the gates opened to talk about it, he couldn't stop- because this was another version of himself he trusted to the core. A better version, the one who got the better out come none of the rest did. And he would damn well keep it that way, even if it made Vi hate him. At least Vile could be a cautionary tale. "The last time I was rebuilt, I nearly did the unthinkable... But the Black Armor Cryptid hunted me down. We fought through the streets, one on one. And she won, if you can believe it. Because I didn't expect the fucking psychopath to come at me through my hail of bullets, taking them like rubber, and overloading us both... Took me somewhere after, repaired me, and gave me a proto type cure. It worked. And I finally could think clearly for the first time in... Forever."

"That a good enough god damn history lesson for you?"

"Most," Vi echoes in agreement, but there is something uneasy behind his own tone, it lacks that same tinge of pride. A normal point of bonding for them that, all at once, feels hollow. "I can tell you from first hand experience, we're fucking hard to kill." A fist at his side, tensing at the memory of a different battle.

"Funny. I can't imagine retiring. Being built for this, for nothing else." A statement that carries with it no moral judgement. No bitterness. Just a truth. Always a tin solider, never meant for more. "Must be a nice future to live in, if the world doesn't need Maverick Hunters anymore." It's a dry sarcasm, borderline malicious. You said you weren't decommissioned. He isn't buying it, not a single damn thing.

"You're goddamn fucking right I want to go down this path." Vi has straightened out, though his weapons aren't drawn yet. The tension is there, coiled in his frame, waiting to strike at the first sign. "Either you can tell me the truth, or I can start asking around. I bet it won't be too fucking pretty from someone else."

Every part of him wants to lash out, wants to crack the identical visor staring him down.

"Had a run in the other week with one of us. Do you know what it feels like, having to put a version of yourself down?" Unpleasant, is the implication. "I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I had to. So you'd better give me a real good reason to trust you."

Fat Guy Stuck in Internet #3: “Blue Screen of Death” | June 30, 2008 - 12:15AM | S01E03

Fat Guy Stuck in Internet finally gets a consistent weekly airing schedule. My guess is that in the lead up to this they reaired episodes 1 & 2, which both aired as part of stealth-airing stunts almost a year apart from one another. 

In this episode, the gang winds up at Server City, which is infested with zombies. They are sick with a computer virus, which is why they are zombies. The gang holes up in an abandoned building to protect themselves from being bitten or scratched, lest they become zombies as well.

Chains, the bounty hunter, is also with them. He’s captured Gemberling at last, but they’re all surrounded by zombies, so it doesn’t really do him much good. While trapped we learn that Chains has also enslaved a few zombies, whom he’s teaching to play rock music for a zombie band called… I forget. I think it was Home School Heroes. They spend so much time hiding out from the zombies that the band winds up getting really good. So good, that when the zombies wind up breaking into their shelter, they are so distracted by the zombie band’s killer licks. 

Gemberling saves the day by curing Server City of it’s computer virus, curing all of the citizens of their zombie disease. Chains takes off with Bit and Byte and brings them back to the evil emperor guy, as bait for Gemberling.

This one had a handful of good jokes, and every now and again I was actually charmed by the low-budget film-making on display. This show wears it’s low-budget on it’s sleeve, but you rarely sense that they’re getting VERY jokey with it. It’s almost expressionistic and artsy in nature; a deliberate choice to make things more fun. I sense the crew are game in creating something that is roughly comparable to schlock rather than a thing that’s pretending to be above schlock by mocking schlock. For that, I commend them. 

There’s also big conceptual jokes that I admired. The various pulls out of screens at the beginning, where an arrogant tourism video jokingly pulling out of a decimated Server City as though the idea were patently absurd, only to have the show pull out of THAT video to show an actual decimated Server City. I like jokes like that. The joke about Gemberling and co. hiding from zombies for literal years is called back to at the end by the evil emperor who points out that he’d given up on whatever evil plan was on the table and moved on. He also asks “why didn’t you just kidnap Gemberling?” to Chains. He’s right, the plan is bad. Chains is just a bad guy at doing jobs. 

The thing I don’t like in this show are the intentionally "funny" lines. The lines have a vulgar streak that only bother me because they aren’t funny or pleasing to the ear. Gemberling calls Server City a “goat tits playground”?? Chains utters the expletive “sweet bibby butt-plugs”??? I don’t know man, that stuff just doesn’t work for me. Sounds like nonsense. There’s also a Jeff Foxworthy reference that hangs out a little too long.

Adult Swim feels like one thing, and UCB produced viral videos feel like another, and there’s a good percentage of Adult Swim’s live-action output that feels more like the latter. It’s a formula that can yield some great things, but most of it turns out like this: good ideas, botched execution to some degree. There’s good things! There’s bad things! And then there is me, who is just perfect.

*hey, it's for aspiration, not actual outcome

[yaeggravate]

been thinking about this what if the reason why kaeya isn't cursed is because it has something to do with the khvarena? maybe his mother and father had khvarena and abyssal power respectively thus neutralizing or suppressing the curse

Do learn Zig

---

There are at least 5, possibly more, ways of making a programming language after C that don't do like C++

Nr 1 is to just not try for "better C" and instead do something completely different - for example Haskell.

Nr 2 is to look at C++ and say "We agree that X is a problem with C that needs solving but come the fuck on" - for example Java using garbage collection and Dispose() instead of RAII (And Java is old enough that it gets to re-use C's excuse "we made this language before better alternatives were well known," but also RAII isn't necessarily the best approach? I like it but it's completely legitimate to prefer something else.)

Nr 3 is to look at a problem in C, look at C++, find out that C++ solved this problem but... maybe the cure is worse than the disease? It would appear nobody has found a strict improvement so let's just... I guess we'll do like C here? This is for example Go's original approach to generics - C++ templates are complicated. I immediately think less of any language that won't let me have something equally powerful but they are complicated.

Nr 4 is to look at a problem in C, look at C++, find out that C++ solved this problem two+ decades ago, and then not solving the problem in your language because you don't want to be like C++, here I am looking directly at Go and the decision not to have a non-null pointer type in the language AND not to have the compiler error if you dereference a pointer without checking for null first what the fuck is wrong with you.

Nr 5 is when you do nr 3 but you're wrong about it and smug about how you're wrong and exclusively engage with strawman arguments rather than deal with the fucking truth, this despite your mistake actually going against the core values of your language. Andrew. I'm talking to you Andrew.

---

Anyway Zig doesn't have the concept of public/private fields, meaning every single fucking class has to pick between

(1) encapsulating with the inefficient pimpl idiom like we do in C

(2) checking invariants on every function call, leading to conditional branching and a ballooning of the error set

(3) lmao skill issue if the user modifies the struct that's on them hope you like Undefined Behavior

(4) doing some really ugly reinterpret casting where the struct has its regular public fields and then just one opaque byte field that you internally cast to- and from- your actual internal representation (this is a subset of "skill issue" but it's more obvious to the user that they aren't supposed to touch the bytes).

None of those are OK! And Andrew completely doesn't engage with it, talking about Java's proliferation of getters and setters which become unnecessary if you just leave the fields public bitch the point is I don't want the user setting these values! There won't be any setters!

To compare with C++ briefly:

There are essentially two ways to create a class that represents a dynamic array that matches the container concept.

Externally you need to be able to query: Data, Begin, End, Size, Capacity.

If I'm programming like Andrew seems to think I do, I make a struct with 5 private fields, and then I write 5 getters and setters.

And I don't understand how you can be smart enough to invent Zig but dumb enough to think it's acceptable to create a 40 byte object here with broken invariants when I can do it in 24 bytes with fixed invariants hence the name.

He understands the value of invariants elsewhere! For example, he has made it so pointers cannot be null, meaning I don't have to check if they're null inside every function! I just want the ability to make the same kind of invariant guarantees for my own types.

I am so incredibly tired of seeing people make new languages that fail to learn from C++

I don't need a new language to be strictly better, e.g. it could be argued that for Rust, almost every choice they made was either an upgrade or a sidegrade, sacrificing some things to gain other things they wanted more. It is a very worthy competitor and, longterm, probably the winner of that competition, even though C++ is better for some niche things.

But languages like Go and Zig just. I get so tired when they fail to do the most elementary things. "C also doesnC was standardized in 1989 what is your excuse?

C++ is not a perfect language. We have learned so many lessons since Bjarne set out to make "C but better." And by "we" I mean, apparently, not everybody.

I am so incredibly tired of seeing people make new languages that fail to learn from C++
