TIL Kowloon Walled City existed and is the real world origin for many visual representations of oppressive urbanization in cyberpunk media (en.wikipedia.org)
 

I came across a video on Youtube discussing it (there are several), and Kowloon Walled City is just endlessly fascinating. A few notable videos I found on the subject were:

The Densest City on Earth

Kowloon Walled City: Hong Kong's City of Darkness

Inside Hong Kong's Kowloon Walled City

There is also a book on the city called City Of Darkness Life In Kowloon Walled City, which I found on archive.org in high resolution. It is full of photographs and detailed accounts of the comings and goings within the enclave.

I don't know if everyone here is just a galaxy brain or what, but I'm surprised nobody has asked or explained the joke. The red bird is a CPU running lines of assembly instructions and the crow is user input causing an interrupt to press the e key. This particular type of interrupt exists because it would feel really bad if you were typing, and the text didn't show up until several seconds later when the CPU felt like processing the (hopefully) buffered input.

Quality meme op

With the Steam Summer Sale ending, what are your favorite Co-Op games? (lemmy.world)
 

I am looking to make some last minute purchases to play with one or more friends, and I have poked around Steam's Co-Op page. I'm curious what new co-op games everyone on Lemmy is playing.

I just picked up Raft and Deep Rock Galactic the other day, but you can never have too many new (never played) games!
