The world is drowning in slop and so many artists still feel the need to say "sorry for wasting your time with my silly doodles" type of stuff when writing a blog posts or posting new works.

Believe in yourself! You're humanity last line of defence againt hopelessness and nihilism.

“However, some users may not have to go through either form of age verification. Discord is also rolling out an age inference model that analyzes metadata like the types of games a user plays, their activity on Discord, and behavioral signals like signs of working hours or the amount of time they spend on Discord.”

Me and some friends have been trying to be ready for when the day comes. Installing our own chat software, our own forum software, our own video conferencing system, and so on. It’s all less polished than Discord but if you’re trying to find a way out of Discord, I feel that this is a way that works. Go slowly, install and use one piece after another, and use a “bridge” to connect the old world (Discord) with the new world (your own).

AI analysis continues to be junk. I wrote an issue with some notes on a tricky corner case for some code we'd just merged. Some user swept in soon after, wrote a ton of plausible sounding analysis, then immediately opened a PR. They claimed they only used AI to translate, not to code or write. They were obviously lying, because I came back this morning and did actual analysis. github.com/pallets/werkzeug/is

RE: social.lansky.name/@hn100/1160

While it's obviously good that the EU becomes more independent from the US, the focus on having this be a software based solution is scary.

We can already see in Sweden, how Swish has created digital exclusion, where some people cannot pay for products and services, just because they have the wrong/too old phone.

Cards might not be perfect, but at least they are ~20€/year pieces of plastic, not 500€ phones that can become unsupported at any point in time.

If you're searching Mastodon, there are special phrases called "operators" that you can include to narrow down your search.

For example, if you just want to search your own posts you can include the operator from:me alongside your keywords.

There's a complete guide to searching Mastodon including a list of all the operators at:

➡️ fedi.tips/how-do-i-search-for-

You can combine several operators in one search to narrow it even further, or include a minus sign - to exclude stuff.

This is very interesting and it's great this kind of research is being done!

This is one development organization. So I wonder how much culture plays into it. If you have a grind mindset, maybe focused more on competition than collaboration, using AI could feed into this.

I already read a lot of stuff about keeping multiple agents running at all times, juggling between them. While I'm sure there are useful applications of this, I suspect a grind culture plays into this that makes people want to show off how busy they are.

@grimalkinaCat Hicks has written a lot about the cultural aspects of software dev, which is influencing me to ask questions like that.

Everyone knows about ARM chips and some people even know the "A" secretly stands for "Acorn" who created the Atom and BBC Micro.

Less well known is the ARC chip where the "A" stands for Argonaut, the game company I once worked for. The ARC was developed by building on expertise that came from designing the SuperFX chip. ARC is everywhere - but in embedded systems so it's not a household name.

Anyway, I mention this as I just learnt that ARC now has the same home as MIPS: eetimes.com/globalfoundries-mi

규키아지트 아메리칸쿠키 진짜 장난아닌데요??
얼마나 장난아니냐면요 완전 대박 장난 아님

일단 버터 향이 가득하고 깔끔하게 단 맛인데다
너무 딱딱하지도 너무 물렁하거나 찐뜩하지도 않아요

저 이제 샌드위칭웨이에서 파는 거는 못 먹을 듯

Toronto’s Don River was declared “biologically dead” decades ago — now fish are returning after a major wetland restoration. Monitoring in 2025 recorded more than 20 fish species in Toronto’s Don River, including Atlantic salmon and native predators such as walleye and northern pike. The rebound follows a C$1 billion renaturalisation that rebuilt wetlands, reshaped the river’s course, and restored spawning habitat. National Observer nationalobserver.com/2026/01/2

Recall these guys were so horrified at the prospect of a Puerto Rican talking about love and unity that the “family-friendly” Christian alternative was an aging sleazebag who gleefully sings about how it’s “mandatory” to statutorily rape underage girls.
