It's cool how when you don't have a strategy, anything you do is strategic!

Helping Israel destroy the military of a Chinese ally: Grand Strategy, Much Pivot, Very Clausewitz.

Helping Ukraine destroy the military of a Chinese ally: Big Distraction, Waste of Munitions, Elbridge Colby Sadness.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

Estinien!

At this point it really does feel like some people on the production team did this deliberately for "content".

"Be reasonable about this," he says. "Meet me in the middle."
"OK," you say. You take a step forward.
He takes a step back.

well since it’s Stardew Valley’s anniversary I can show you the bachelors’ portraits I started two years ago but never finished 🎉

⬇️ ⬇️ start throwing money at indies across all artistic industries and not only will you start getting more stuff of actual quality, you will see a deluge of DIVERSE quality stuff too.

I'll take it a step further: If you bet on Polymarket or Kalshi about outcomes in this insane war of aggression I think you should be hunted like nazis were after WWII.

Cloud explains Kingdom Hearts

So they have these Keyblade thingies, and Squall was there but for some reason everyone kept calling him Leon.
Also, Yuffie, Cid & even Aerith were hanging out with him on this cozy looking town...

According to payment processors, purchasing fictional sexy art is grossly immoral.

Betting on school children getting blown up is fine though.

One thing I'd like to see Steam do that would be an instant improvement for browsing Next Fest is a toggle for AI generated content, which I know wouldn't be a complete solution because a lot of shady devs use generative AI and don't disclose it, but it would've helped filter some of the slop out.

Throwback to the co-founder of Palantir saying this is all about making money in June 2025:

" I'm really excited to invest in Iran if we can get this country to be some sort of republic and not run by crazy people, and that's a lot easier than doing that in Afghanistan..."

Oh great. Youtube has changed the subscriptions page to not be chronological anymore and now it's sorted by "Most Relevant". I literally don't wanna see videos that came out a month ago at the top of the feed because I ALREADY SAW THEM. Another website being made even worse.

She Came Out of the Bathroom Naked, Employee Says Bank details, sex and naked people who seem unaware they are being recorded. Behind Meta’s new smart glasses lies a hidden workforce, uneasy about peering into the most intimate parts of other people’...

“The workers in Kenya say that it feels uncomfortable to go to work. They tell us about deeply private video clips, which appear to come straight out of Western homes, from people who use the glasses in their everyday lives.
Several describe video material showing bathroom visits, sex…”

screenshot of a windows 11 start menu on build 26200.7922. the menu is bigger than it used to be, now showing 8 tiles wide instead of just 6, the app list titled "All" already starting in the middle of the start menu, not requiring a click

the app list genuinely being a third of empty screen space because there's just two icons for the Apps starting with the letter "J"

A screenshot showing the mentioned category view, the categories including "Other", "Productivity", "Utilities & Tools", "Creativity", "Developer Tools", "Music", "Entertainment", "Games" and "Accessibility", all of the categories are squares showing three app icons without labels and a small group of four more app icons in each lower right corner symbolizing that there's more in the category.

the new windows 11 start menu genuinely looks like someone just said "fuck it lets add mandatory whitespace, it's what the people want"
but hey at least there's a category mode now that sorts Battle.net into "Games" but Overwatch (a game from Battle.net) into […]

this is the point of AI
it’s always been the point
so they can kill the most vulnerable and blame the computer

my partner transcended to some godly level of cooking, and I am incredibly lucky to have them.

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

If you ever want to read a paper for free and can't find it otherwise, email the lead author and politely ask for a copy. You will not be bothering the person. You will in fact make their whole entire day. I have had scientists get so excited I asked they sent me everything they ever published.

The most terrifying thing about Linux rn is that I'd basically have to change my OS to some Linux distro some time in the future.

It's not like I know how to run it, but it seems more and more a good idea, when I look at yet another piece of news about Windows deleting something crucial *again*

i think that if you run linux on your computer, that should count as age verification in and of itself
