@siracusa @caseyliss @marcoarment I've never owned an Apple computer, and have been a Windows developer my entire career. I appreciate the discussion, but I've personally run Linux since 1997 as my primary OS. Having configurable UI and being able to control your UX is amazing. My 70 year old […]

@leo I know you're an AI accelerationist, and I am a paying member of the Twit club, but this story of a part time FOSS contributor is so screwed up. Giving AI no tethers is insane. I hope you read this and talk about it on the next episode of Intelligent Machines […]

I'm rewatching 1899, and I can't believe I never connected the dots that the kid that doesn't talk looks EXACTLY like the childhood version of the lead singer of ...And You Will us by the Trail of Dead.

Tuesday: Discord invents their own massive footgun. Proprietary platforms will always enshittify.

I know Embark Studios, the developers of Arc Raiders, didn't mean this, and I love Arc Raiders, but they probably didn't realize they had recreated the Stanford Prison Experiment for ADHD people. I play it with my sons and the number of times we have a bad interaction with other players is […]

I thought it was supposed to be day 1 of the 2nd Trump administration? You know...the fart of the deal. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-zelenskyy-june-deadline-98da4e17de8ab377363ae9c3ff308001

Paging @atpfm for your next show. https://www.loopwerk.io/articles/2026/tim-cook-sold-apples-soul/

Tim Apple sucks so bad. Kiss the ring, bend the knee, and do so in public so everyone can see how bad you suck. I hope you take this shame to the grave.

Technology Connections is 🔥 today.

I don't want to live in a world where Rand Paul is the voice of reason.

Where’s the money, you Orc piece of shit? #tomhoman #grifter #Crook #dhs #trumpmustgo #USpol

I feel bad for my therapist. I've been with her for almost 5 years, and she is amazing, but I feel bad because I'm going to have to ask her what to do when the downfall of society happens. I used to make fun of "preppers" during the Obama years, but now the shoe is on the other foot.

YouTube "content creator" idea: Blizzard as content.

Dear Fediverse....I need help finding something I saw the other day. I searched my history, did a Mastodon search, and couldn't find it. I saw someone post a GUI Wireframing tool they had made that the wireframes would wiggle/animate as you drew them up. Anyone have any ideas?

Remember back in the day when you'd get a new videocard, how exciting it was to see what pack in games came with it? I remember getting...I think it was my Voodoo 2 and playing a ton of Rollcage. Good times.

Tired of all the horrible news out there? Me too. But for today, let this video bring you some joy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VjwnJfJwXiA #otter

Or maybe Piers could just...you know, shutup forever. (And sorry for the crappy link.) https://deadline.com/2026/01/piers-morgan-hip-surgery-femur-1236689581/

Kristi Noem looks like Jen from The Dark Crystal. And I know that we're not supposed to make fun of people's physical appearance, but she chose this. She brought this on herself.

Dear Microslop Teams, I am never going to rate the call quality after a meeting.

Fuck ICE. Fuck all of this.

We're so fucked.

Everyone, it's time that we dump Stephen Millers lunch tray and shank him. He needs his comeuppance. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/06/stephen-miller-donald-trump-threats-take-over-greenland

The GOP has a decentralized outrage machine that moves at light speed. Dems have no comparable influencer ecosystem to counter these narratives in real-time.

I would also like to announce that I foiled a terrorist plot. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/justice-department/fbi-says-foiled-terrorist-attack-planned-north-carolina-new-years-eve-rcna251929

I'm at an urgent care to get antibiotics, and it occurs to me that the American healthcare system is fucking bonkers. I would've gone to my PCP, but their quickest appointment is in February.

This holiday season, I am thankful for men's jeans that are also stretchy. I will be taking no questions at this time.

Man that CECOT video is fucked up. If it doesn't enrage you about this administration, you have no soul.

I would also ask the court to set aside my conviction. Let's see how that would go. https://abcnews.go.com/US/epstein-associate-ghislaine-maxwell-asks-court-set-aside/story?id=128086043

Rogue One is the best Star Wars movie. Don't @ me bro.

I will buy from bookshop.org a million times before I'll buy anything from Amazon, but jeez they need to stop with the spam email. It's relentless. I know that's what it takes to drum up sales, but good lord. Stop it.

I stand with Ms. Rachel. Compassion and empathy are a strength, not a weakness.

Despite it being a "rat infested living hell hole," Baltimore is out there crushing it. I love charm city. #baltimore #charmcity

Remember when, in order to watch Netflix on your Wii, Netflix would mail you a disc that had to be in your Wii? Fun times.

Guess how my gifts I ordered from Amazon for friends and family this year? Zero. I cancelled my Prime subscription back when donkey braying Bezos killed the Kamala Harris endorsement from the Washington Post. He can go pound sand. If you need to order something this year, order it from an […]

I would like to preface this post by saying I know I have white privilege, but maybe I should preface all my posts the same way. I dunno.

What is the best videogame system and why is it the Sega Dreamcast? (Spoiler alert, I used my tax refund in college to buy one at $99 and nearly failed that semester thanks to Soul Calibur.)

Alright, Ben rant incoming. I've played every Bethesda game from Morrowind to Oblivion and Skyrim. I was a staunch defender of Starfield. It was panned by critics, and although I loved the main quest plot, I'm willing to admit it's garbage. I've got over 100 hours sunk into it and because the […]

@vicmsong Listening to This Week in Tech and loving your appearanced just wanted to comment on Intel. I've been an AMD user since I was a teenager and it's sad to see Intel go downhill, but I have co-workers that have worked there and the amount of lighting money on fire and giving people […]

@jeffjarvis I will @ you...Google Contributor existed and was taken away from us. I was more than happy to pay them to remove ads from websites. It was essentially a form of micropayments. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Contributor

Europe: We want to have strong protections for technology companies operating in the EU. Also Europe: Chatcontrol.
