Sometime around the 2020 era, we lost the right to be mediocre at things we love.

No longer can you just bake bread...you must start a sourdough side hustle lol. Wanna stay fit and go jogging or running? Nah, you gotta optimize your biometrics for a marathon. What my point is that every hobby has been enshittified and gentrified into a brand opportunity.

This strange infatuation with optimization culture is killing the human spirit.

So this new year, starting tomorrow, one of my resolutions is to do something bad but fun. Maybe I write a terrible poem. I like to draw and paint, so perhaps I will draw a horse that looks like a table or sing off-key in the showers or in front of my loved ones. The algorithm driving the mainstream social media wants me to be a polished product, but my humanity lives in these messy, unoptimized, cringe-inducing joyful failures.

I will try to reclaim the right to be an amateur. Will you join me?

I really wish everyone would stop making fun of the people they don't like based on their physical appearance.

We really need to collectively grow up from this high-school bully mindset.

When you use appearance instead of ideas and behaviors to criticize someone, even someone deserving mockery, you are also shooting at everyone who might look like them, even the ones that might be incredibly good people.

There is more than enough content to talk against when it comes to the tyrants that currently surround us. Talk against their ideas, their words, and their actions. Be relentless for that. But their physical appearance is irrelevant to their moral deficiencies.

Mock their words, but not their looks.

Analysis: In 2025 (Jan 1 - Dec 5), Israel carried out nearly 11,000 attacks

* at least six countries, including Palestine, Iran, Lebanon, Qatar, Syria, & Yemen

* strikes in Tunisian, Maltese & Greek territorial waters on aid flotillas

This marks "one of the broadest geographic military offensives in a single year".

("Stats likely undercount the actual number... due to reporting gaps in conflict zones")

Looking Back at 2025, Looking Forward to 2026

Pizzas, tiramisu, stickers, and plenty of coffee. But above all, people.

My 2025 has been a journey from Canada to Croatia, reconnecting with old friends and launching new projects. In a difficult year for the world, I chose to focus on the light emitted by positive figures, who are often the quiet ones.

I’ve written a farewell post for this incredible year on my personal blog. See you in 2026, with the same Smile(TM).

- LG전자가 CES 2026에서 차세대 게이밍 모니터 'LG 울트라기어 에보' 27형, 39형, 52형 3종을 선보임

- GPU 업그레이드 없이 5K 업스케일링으로 고화질 구현

모니터 자체 5K 업스케일링 이거 어느 정도 일지 궁금하군요. 스위치 720p/1080p 게임 업스케일링 하면 볼만할지?

You attached a code-generating firehose to your dev plumbing, and measured the pressure of the water going in to be 10x what it was before.

So you can't understand why the business is complaining that they're not getting the power shower you promised them

I’m going to be the old man (41) who talks about understanding the code the AI generates and being able to write it by hand. The kids will say I’m out of date, and I’ll never be sure they’re wrong. The indignity will never be lost on me that I’m talking about hand-writing god damn Javascript.

Thank you for being the escape I needed from my day-to-day worries throughout 2025, Fediverse. I feel better knowing you're out there, some of you have taught me or pointed me toward wonderful things, and I appreciate having been able to see a few of you in person, even.
