Sometimes all you can do is make the world 0.0000000000001% less awful by being a good person and it feels very meaningless but it’s also the only thing that really matters

BEACH CATS

Game news sites have realized you can get a lot of clicks from AI backlash, even if it means taking quotes wildly out of context. Pretty gross! Eurogamer changed the headline, but the URL still has the original title and there's no editors' note on the article. www.eurogamer.net/actor-troy-b...

Apple gave everyone a U2 album in 2014, and it might have had a long-lasting negative impact on how we all listen to music.

I now have all my websites and web services in one status page. 😎 status.corbin.io

The US brazenly violated international law every single day of the Gaza genocide—under Biden, and under Trump. The two major parties don’t represent half of the US each, only different factions of the ruling class, and while they have some disagreements, there’s always bipartisan support for empire.

No, Microsoft Office didn't just get renamed to "Microsoft 365 Copilot." The name change is just for the hub apps and website portal, and it actually happened over a year ago.

I reached out to the author of this viral Reddit post thinking there might be a story in it. He sent me an employee badge that Gemini flagged as being AI-generated and supporting documents that I suspect were also generated by AI. Be careful out there folks! www.reddit.com/r/confession...

Don't overthink the Trump admin's reasoning here. They don't have a grand scheme. They are willing to upend the international order because they think everyone else will be too scared to fuck with them. And whatever terrorist attacks this inspires against us will just help them electorally.

It's rare for a company to sign a contract with the US military AND get caught generating CSAM in the same two-week period. Grok is just built different

I'm not sure why those should be in a programming language, honestly.

There are 80 people in this NYE instance and my GTX 1080 is not happy about it. #VRChat

Here are the movies, games, TV shows, books, and podcasts I enjoyed in 2025!

Aw man 😞 Rest in peace Mr Cheifet, host of Computer Chronicles: obits.goldsteinsfuneral.com/stewart-chei... What a legend. His work in both presenting and preserving the early days of computer history has been (and will continue to be) deeply appreciated! My condolences to his family and friends.

Smosh's Dont Win Mario Party as the Gentlemen is one of the greatest videos of all time and I think about it at least once a week.

pretending I am using the force to open the automatic doors at the grocery store is the only joy I have left

I’m from Whoville, and I say kill the Grinch!

Finished Ratchet & Clank, it’s pretty good! First time playing anything from this series, I’ll get to Rift Apart eventually. #PS4 #PS5

Has anyone noticed how Jamiroquai would fit really well in a Sonic game?

And to Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, and will return in Avengers: Doomsday

Tired: implementing a legacy filesystem with reverse engineering Wired: implementing a legacy filesystem by running its original driver in Motorola 68K CPU emulation with a wrapper for transferring data #linux #retrocomputing #amiga

I can’t believe the new technology promoted as a way to speed up work and free up time for other things just led to higher productivity expectations and no reduction in working hours. This has never happened before!

Still incredibly pissed at Future / Tom's Hardware for taking down the Anandtech front page archives. Being able to reference historical reviews and news articles is super important for tech history research and they've burned a library of Alexandria for... what, exactly?

For generations people “cut off” parents by moving away and mailing them a card once a year. Travel and long distance phone calls were expensive; distance effectively cut people off w/o being so explicit. The difference now is that communication is cheap so cutting them off requires being explicit.

Sorry but calling 2025 one of the best years for Google without focusing on how much worse it is making Search -- and every other part of the internet it touches -- is like declaring it a great year for the private equity company that bankrupted Toys R Us

Bye bye, Adobe, Pixelmator and Photomator are good enough. 👋

The performance gap between Firefox and Chromium is getting pretty rough. Really wish this was the core focus and not AI garbage. 🫠

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

Let's get drunk and make the shittiest desktop environment for debian

Today, we know of the MacBook Air as a pretty capable but affordable laptop — but when it launched in 2008, it was neither. Let’s take a look at the original MacBook Air and how it had a lasting impact on the computer industry! youtu.be/LUEUExmbEl4

Star Trek: Generations is good.

every day lately feels like this

It was the omg of times, it was the Jfc of times

Conservatism is just like when you know a little kid is lying to you and they try to turn it around on you by getting mad that you don’t believe them.

It's getting chilly in linkcleaner.app! ☃️

"I find this absolutely deplorable and am now quitting my account."

Me: I would like to listen to some music from my own library that I copied to my phone Music app: PLEASE SIGN UP FOR APPLE MUSIC PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

Finished the Burial at Sea DLC for Bioshock Infinite, first time completing it. Pretty fun, going back to Rapture and playing as Elizabeth was interesting. The story was *fully* off the rails though, especially the partial retcon for Infinite. No clue why anything was happening.
