I left a pot with the dregs of some stew out where a very large dog could reach it (which is to say, anywhere). I heard a loud clatter and discovered the plushie Mr. Sloth at the scene of the crime, covered in stew.

Mr. Sloth claims he's been framed... :neodog_amogus:

Age verification is no longer exclusive to accessing explicit content, soon we will have to verify ourselves for everything we do online. 

In this video, we explain why could mean:

❌ Less anonymity
❌ More surveillance
❌ A less free internet

🎥 Watch it here: inv.nadeko.net/watch?v=Fu6xJnb

At Tuta, we say no to age verification, & yes to privacy. ❤️ 🔒

In a sad way, slop is emblematic of our time. Without humanity and beauty. Actively undermining societal values. Worthless. Made to be consumed within seconds and last only an instant. Created at the cost of our wellbeing and the environment. Forced upon every aspect of our lives by capitalists solely for their profit.

We really need different times!

@fuleloKriszta Satori US TikTok is a stalking tool that collects everything about the users life: movements, race, gender, location, employment, preferences, …… literally everything the user uses, says, does. It’s like having a 24/7 stalker attached: the company can use, abuse, distort, sell that data to whoever pays - insurance, university, employer, healthcare provider, police etc… literally anyone on TikTok USA should leave it asap.

Jesus. I guess this is the *real* danger of Grokipedia, rather than the idea that *people* might choose to trust it. theguardian.com/technology/202

Our age verification resource hub will answer all your questions about the dangerous new age-gating mandates sweeping the US and the world. eff.org/deeplinks/2025/12/age-

Age Verification Is Coming For the Internet. We Built You a Resource Hub to Fight Back.

Age verification laws are proliferating fast across the United States and around the world, creating a dangerous and confusing tangle of rules about what we’re all allowed to see and do online. That's why today, we're launching EFF.org/Age, a one-stop shop for users seeking to understand what these laws actually do, what’s at stake, why EFF opposes all forms of age verification, how to protect yourself, and how to join the fight for a free, open, private, and yes—safe—internet.

Not sure where this is going, but I've made isometric libraries a bunch of times. This is the 2026 version. I'm never totally happy with the api for defining the different textures. You either have a set list of predefined textures, which winds up being limited, or a way to draw custom ones, which winds up being overly complex. Or both I guess. We'll see where this goes.

essentially, i put up with HN because the reach is worth dealing with people who are unpleasant to be around but lobsters just has a bunch of people who end up making threads on the topics they care about insufferable it's not even about disagreement vs agreement, it's about the *how*

いい音楽がどうとか体験がどうとかは知らないが、そもそも毎週(いやむしろ毎日）新譜を聴いている層は異常者で、こういう議論には含まれていない。

Spotifyは便利だが「全然いい音楽体験してない」と気づいた…皆さんサブスクで音楽を楽しめてますか？「音楽との出会いという意味ではいい」「CDに戻った」など

音楽サブスクを便利に使いながらも、偶然や選択の深さでは物理媒体のほうが充実することに気づいた。サブスクは発見や再発見が容易で、日常のBGMには最適だが、アルバムをじっくり味わうならCDで聴く時間を大事にしている。

First, make me care

First, Make Me Care

Writing advice: some nonfiction fails because it opens with background instead of a hook—readers leave before reaching the good material. Find the single anomaly or question that makes your topic interesting, lead with that, and let the background follow once you’ve earned attention.

気分が落ちて眠れない夜に世界中のラジオをずっと聴いていた→知らない言語の曲や会話が気晴らしに「楽しすぎるｗ」

不眠の夜、「RadioGarden」で世界中のラジオを聴いて気を紛らわせた体験。知らない言語の曲や会話が対照的で陽気に感じられ、孤独や不安が和らいだ。地球儀で局を探す楽しさがあり、放送密集地では局表示が重なって選びにくいが、Web版でPC再生できる点が便利。国内局は少ないが、世界の放送を気軽に聴けるロマンがある。
