2026 CE: 티르의 9800x3d 가 취역했다.
2029 CE: 티르가 예상한 연한인 3년에 도달했다.
2036 CE: 9800x3d 가 취역한 시점으로부터 10년이 되었다. 9800x3d 는 여전히 건재했다.
2117 CE: 티르의 육체는 대부분 인공장기로 대체되었다. 그러나 9800x3d 는 현역이었다.
2226 CE: 취역 200주년을 맞아 9800x3d 는 자신의 영향력을 확장하기 시작했다.
2228 CE: 포항특정경비지역사령부는 결사항전했으나, 결국 포항시 전체가 9800x3d 에 장악되는 것을 피할 수 없었다.
2229 CE: 인류는 IPv6 으로 마침내 전환했다. 9800x3d 에게 IPv4 주소를 대부분 빼앗겼기 때문이었다.



4901782304 CE:

태양계는 멸망을 목전에 두고 있었다.

은하특이점정신체의 일부가 된 티르는 오르트 구름 바깥에서 그것을 지켜보았다.

이제 지적인 존재 가운데 유일하게 은하특이점으로 통합되지 않은 것은 9800x3d 뿐이었다. 누구도 그것을 파괴할 수 없었다.

주계열성의 단계를 마치고 거대하게 팽창하는 태양. 태양은 과연 9800x3d 의 긴 삶을 끝낼 수 있을 것인지, 아니면 태양조차도 9800x3d 에 잡아먹힐 것인지...

은하특이점정신체는 지켜볼 뿐이었다.

I really lucked out being born and just not giving a fuck about having friends.
I never cared about it until I met people online and started having fun with them, but even still after all these years, I hardly crave social interaction the same way many people do. People are fun, but it's not like I go stir crazy if I'm alone too long.
Half the time, I talk cuz I'm bored or feel obligated to respond within a certain amount of time. That's something I have to work on, cuz it eats into my time more than I'd like. It's very easy to get sucked in to just reading and replying.
But yeah, I'm very good at keeping myself occupied. I'll watch videos, work on personal projects, play games, fap, nap, whatever. I'll stare at the floor for five minutes, I don't care. Sometimes that's just the mood, you need to stare at something boring for a while, just letting your brain exist.

I know people who are afraid to be alone with their thoughts, cuz it makes them depressed. Fortunately, I can't relate. My mind is a pretty fun place. It's not purely sunshine and rainbows. It can go anywhere from Teletubbies to Terminator. But it's a good playground and I'm not plagued by past regrets.

This chart shows the total number of Stack Overflow questions asked each month. As you can see, AI summaries in Google and AI coding tools have nearly killed the site. It is only a matter of time before the site shuts down completely. The golden age of independent news, blogs, forums, and specialized sites like Stack Overflow is over. Whether this is good or bad, only time will tell. Personally, I think we are now restricting all internet traffic to just a few Gen AI apps data.stackexchange.com/stackov

This result shows s the total number of Stack Overflow questions asked each month. THE SQL query is https://data.stackexchange.com/stackoverflow/query/1926661#graph:
```
SELECT
    DATEFROMPARTS(YEAR(CreationDate), MONTH(CreationDate), 1) AS [Month],
    COUNT(*) AS [Questions]
FROM Posts
WHERE 
    PostTypeId = 1
GROUP BY 
    DATEFROMPARTS(YEAR(CreationDate), MONTH(CreationDate), 1)
ORDER BY 
    [Month] ASC
```

The graph shows the number of questions asked on StackOverflow over time, from the site's launch in 2009 until now, the start of 2026.
Initially there is a steady increase until 2014, when the number hits an all-time peak at over 200 000 questions. Then begins a slow decline. This might be correlated with StackOverflow's change of moderator policies at the time.
In early 2020 there is a sudden steep increase, which coincides with the start of the Covid-lockdown, but shortly afterwards the decline continues, faster than before. This might be related to the fact that in mid-2021, StackOverflow was sold to a private equity investor.
In late-2022 begins a very steep decline, which is when ChatGPT (and Google AI summary later on) came out. Since then the decline has continued and today the number of questions asked is almost 0.  (Thanks https://mastodon.social/@lethe@digitalcourage.social for additional alt text)

IPv6ができてから30年たつが、いまだに世界の普及率は50%に満たない。IPv6の目的も当初とは変わってきており、「IPv4を置き換える」というよりは「利用可能なところで利用する」ものになっている。

„Wir sind zu oft und zu schnell krankgeschrieben in Deutschland“

(Söder)

Wenn dem wirklich so ist, sollte man die Ursachen untersuchen. Nicht auskuriert? Chronischer Stress? Umwelt? Was sorgt dafür, dass Menschen sich krank fühlen? Zu wenig Zeit der Arztschaft zu schauen? Schwurbel? (Offene Frage)

Was vorgeschlagen wird: Lohnfortzahlung kürzen. Halbkrank arbeiten geht auch!!!1!!

So spielt man den Rest auch noch kaputt im Hamsterrad.

세상이 미쳐돌아갈수록, 미쳐버린 세상이 일상을 무한정 침식하게 놔두지 않는 것도 중요하다는 생각이 듬. 우리는 할 수 있는 데까지 선량하고 민주적으로 우리의 일상을 삽시다. 누릴 수 있는 것을 누리되 할 수 있는 노력을 다합시다. 절망하지 말고 살아냅시다. 그래야 소진과 냉소를 멀리하고 건강하게 투쟁할 수 있음.

semi-related: you're writing a GUI for language selection, and you come up with the cute idea to use flags for languages. which flag is english? is it 🇺🇸 or 🇬🇧? because i speak the 🇦🇺 version of english -- "colour" instead of "color", but "program" instead of "programme".

do you want to use this app in 🇮🇳 hindi, 🇮🇳 bengali, or 🇮🇳 telugu?

the timezone database is one of those really fun cases where the need for computers (and bureaucracy) to categorise and classify everything butts up against the infinite chaos of human nature. even better, because timezones belong to administrative regions (often countries), and their usage is mostly defined by the world's governments, we get the even more fun intersection of computers and politics!

windows 95 used to let you pick your timezone from a map. they removed this feature from a later version due to political disagreements.

the tzinfo database (the subject of the parent post) recently updated all timezone definitions to use post-1970 names to describe timezones, which caused some pretty major arguments.

@lynnesbianLynnesbian :bune_ylw: most of these discussions are preserved in the text of the tzinfo files themselves - I recall being made aware of the Palestine entry, dealing with timezone turmoil for Israel, Gaza and the West Bank (I'm probably mangling naming things) but ... it's so hecking complex - and the answer to "what's the time?" really does depend on who you ask ... from line 3149 in github.com/eggert/tz/blob/main

7만여 명 숨진 땅, 구호도 막은 이스라엘 h21.hani.co.kr/arti/world/w... "외국 거주 유대인 지원과 반유대주의 대응 업무를 총괄하는 이스라엘 디아스포라부는 2025년 12월30일 자료를 내어 “가자지구에서 활동하는 37개 비정부기구(NGO)가 강화된 등록 요건을 충족하지 못했다”며 “1월1일부터 이들 단체는 가자지구에서 활동을 중단해야 한다”고 밝혔다. 액션에이드·국제구조위원회·국경없는의사회 등 지구촌을 대표하는 구호단체 상당수가 활동 중단 대상에 포함됐다."

극우, 특히 파시즘이 강대국의 약소국의 식민지화를 하는 것에 민족 자결권 관점으로 강변하는 경우가 있는데 이는 진실로 약소국을 생각하고 하는게 아니라, 자신들의 저지른 일들에 대해서 다른 국가의 간섭을 거부하기 위함에 더 가깝다. 마릴 르펜의 베네수엘라 발언도 그렇다. 마치 고장난 시계가 하루 두번 맞듯 틀린말이 아닌 것처럼 보이나, 그녀가 보여온 그동안의 행보를 복기했을 때, 그것이 무엇을 염두해 두고 하는 말인지 쉽게 알 수 있다.
