2026 is the Year of Linux on the Desktop for real, folks. We all knew that living through the unbearable hell of the Cool Zone was going to open up some hopeful possibilities but even I didn't think this was going to be one of them

… but yesterday I saw a YouTube video where a gaming youtuber — not a "tech" youtuber, just a guy who talks about video games — was trying to set a world record for frame-rate in Minecraft, detailing each optimization step they were taking through this journey, and the big, important jump midway through the video (one might call it a "twist", even) was that they installed Linux and got a massive bump to FPS just because it wasn't running all the dumb Copilot shit in the background.

のイベントに の紹介で登壇してきて帰宅。
朝の段階で登壇資料が半分もできてなかった状態でどうなるかなと思ったけどギリギリなんとかなった…
仕事でもないのに急に疲れが… :battery_low:

でも思ったより色んな人とお話できて、Affinity にも興味を持ってもらえた人が何人かいたようなので良かった✨

昨日と今日の2日間にわたって開催された のイベント「Canva Voyagers Marina 2025」で、初日の昨日、登壇枠を頂いて についてお話してきました。

登壇資料はこんな感じ。
canva.com/design/DAG6J3-M4IM/0

イベントの参加者さんは主に Canva のユーザーさんが多いこともあって、色んな業界・職種の方に向けてお話する上で、「デザイナー」という肩書きでない人にもなるべく興味を持って聞いてもらえたらと思ってこんな内容になりました :tony_normal:

、Canva 傘下になったり無料になったりする中で、いろんな人から色んな見方をされていると思うけど、
なんにでも決まった未来があるわけじゃないし、自分が好きなものを自分のできる範囲で応援するくらいしか自分にはできないにしても、そういうふうに能動的に選択したいものがあることは幸せなことだし、
自分にとってそういうモノのひとつである Affinity を支えてくれている Canva もまた、たくさんの人に支えられてるというのを実感できたのは、参加した僕にとっても大きな収穫でした :tony_smiling:

Of all the questionable things about AI, I'm starting to think its biggest crime is simply the staggering amount of resources it has pointlessly drawn away from other, more important work and the way it has corrupted even organisations that were previously doing great work in some misguided, race-to-the-bottom belief that this is actually the most important thing for humankind.

Agriculture made up about 32 percent of land use in Gaza before the war, and played a central role in the besieged enclave’s economy, along with an important part of Palestinian cultural identity.

By the end of October 2025, Israel destroyed 98% of Gaza’s tree cropland and 75% of its greenhouses.

This destruction will have horrific long-term environmental impacts on Gaza.

— The IMEU, December 5, 2025

More than 57,000 households in Gaza are now headed by women. Many of them are deeply vulnerable with no income to support their children.

Winter rain and flooding have worsened peoples’ suffering.

People no longer ask for warmth, education or proper food. They ask for a tent, a small heater, or a light. Their expectations have collapsed, as devastating as any destroyed building.

For those defending generative AI saying shit like “it’s just bad because evil AI companies. We need open source AI” How does open sourcing AI help with data centers destroying communities, poisoning more fresh water than 10000 people could drink, or the fact that it only exists to try to replace humans for profits of the already ultra wealthy?

Out of Index 2025 & Beaver Rocks

정진명의 굳이 써서 남기는 생각 @jm@guji.jjme.me

3년만에 열리는 Out of Index 2025에 다녀왔습니다. 2022년과 2016년의 티셔츠 소개에서도 언급했지만 독립 게임을 다루는 행사인 Out of Index는 기회가 될 때마다 꾸준히 방문하고 있습니다. 이번에는 비버락스 행사와 함께 진행되어, 해당 행사도 함께 보고 왔습니다. 뭐 버닝비버도 다녀오곤 했지요.

그래도 좀 더 일반적인 게이머들과 게임 시장을 타겟으로 하는 비버락스와 그런 건 일단 모르겠고 이상한 게임들을 큐레이션하는 Out of Index는 함께 하면 꽤 핏이 맞는 행사일지도 모르겠다는 생각을 합니다. 참가자는 더 다양한 기준에서 뽑힌 게임을 볼 수 있고, 행사 측에서는 별로 관심이 없었던 사람들에게도 행사를 노출시킬 수 있게 되니 말이지요. Out of Index가 2022년에 프롤로그격인 Reloader: test_subject를 다루고, 이번 비버락스가 거기에서 좀 더 본편에 가까운 Reloader: subject_alpha를 다루게 된 것도 재미있게 느껴집니다.

게임은 주로 Out of Index에 있는 게임들을 흥미있게 봤는데, 이것저것 플레이해보게 되지 않을까 합니다.

We are all going to feel silly and embarrassed someday for believing that being able to see the text of a program and rules-lawyering about who could copy and paste what text to where was the most important conversation we could have been having about software, freedom and human rights.

The Wikipedia article for "The Christmas Song" has three images. One is of the Nat "King" Cole single, one is of Nat "King" Cole himself, and the third is...a random dude roasting chestnuts on an open fire. It is even captioned "Man roasting chestnuts on an open fire." Wikipedia is the best.

Man roasting chestnuts on an open fire.
