15. 버스터 잼 데모 아직 출시되지 않은 데모지만, 꼭 넣고싶었어요. 메이드 인 와리오 시리즈의 게임 스타일을 그대로 가져온 게임입니다. 게다가 마&루 RPG 시리즈가 떠오르는 필드 이동 요소또한 가지고 있어, 추후 기대가 상당히 되는 작품이예요. 특유의 익살스러움 또한 메이드 인 시리즈를 그대로 빼다박았고, 필드에 NPC들도, 미니게임들도 완전 미국 밈 총집합들인지라 너무 맘에 들어버렸습니다. 데모니까 한 번 꼭 해보세요. 스테이지가 2개 뿐이지만 정말 재밋어요.

If #fedi instances, or accounts on instances, come and go frequently in alpha software, would that kind of churn cause problems with other instances on the #Fediverse? What is the #fediquette for #fediDev?

Eigenlob mag stinken, aber mein Sechs-Stunden-Gulasch ist ganz vorzüglich geworden 😋

Happy Privacy Day to all of you!

Don't forget to celebrate even the smallest victories - the big tech services you've ditched, every single person you've taught how to protect their privacy, the talks you've given, the blog posts you've written.

We still have much to do, and the situation right now is going from bad to worse. But we must not forget that everything we do can make a difference!

Thank you all for what you're doing! And please keep doing it!

⚙️ Towards a reference QEMU for CHERI platform emulation: An update from the CHERI QEMU Working Group ⚙️

QEMU is one of the most popular open source machine emulators, with support for many CPU architectures, including x86_64, Arm and RISC-V.

As of January 2026, we are excited to announce that the CHERI Alliance hosts a reference QEMU implementation that supports multiple modern hashtag#CHERI platforms based on Arm and RISC-V. These include the Arm Morello platform, the CHERI RISC-V standard draft 0.9.3 and the University of Cambridge RISC-V ISA v9. The CHERI Alliance reference implementation is an important milestone for future development and integration of CHERI support in QEMU.

We expect 2026 to be an exciting year for the CHERI Alliance and the CHERI QEMU community as a whole. With no shortage of work in sight, we would like to encourage members of the Alliance and any other organisation interested in CHERI to check out the latest developments.

"In the beginning, the Web was simple. When I first encountered it in early 1993 (working for O'Reilly's Global Network Navigator[...]), there was only one browser for viewing web pages and it ran exclusively on the Unix platform. There were about a dozen tags that made any difference. Designing a web page was a relatively simple task."

Today is Data Privacy Day 🔒✨

On this day, remember that privacy isn't some luxury we can live without.

Privacy is a fundamental right that
is essential to safety, to community, to freedom of speech, and to democracy.

Authoritarians are trying to
undermine our privacy rights because they are well aware of this. Do not let them ✊

This year, let's fight for our privacy rights like we never did before. So many of our other human rights depend on it 🔒💚

14. VVVVVV 이름값. 좌 우 이동에, 점프 없이 중력반전밖에 할 수 없는 함장이 되어서, 그 중력반전조차 할 수 없는 크루들을 구하는 게임입니다. 이름마냥 사방에 가시가 널려있는 직관적인 게임이고, 정말 토나오게 어렵습니다. 저도 그냥 한 번 깨기만 했고, 크링캣 모우기랑 업적작... 절대 못해....... 그보다 크루들은 이름이 다 P로 시작한다더라구요. 크루들 첫글자만 따면 PPPPPP임.

Six years ago, I wrote about how the media has been falling for Trump's "new tone" nonsense for five years at that point. So we're now... 11 years into the media falling for Trump's "new tone." www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...
