“In ten days last month, the Wikimedia Foundation fired the longtime lead developer of MediaWiki and disbanded the team whose entire job was to listen to volunteers. Most of the people they fired were union organizers” medium.com/@jakeorlowit...

Americans think British people are wimps for complaining about the heat. But what you don't realise is that most British houses were actually built in Britain, a cursed island that hates us.

Ok I've designed an LLM prompt to make Google AI just give you a list of links. It's longer than you might think because it kept ignoring the instructions. This is efficient. This is The Future™

This is good, but we all know that really, it should be a long string of sausages and the fox should be being chased by a red faced, moustachioed, irate butcher who is wearing a blue and white striped apron and a straw hat

I hadn't been to a zoo in years, but visited Chester Zoo earlier this week and had a great time. I also had a lot of fun taking photos. #photography #chesterzoo

I’m told my acceptance speech upset some of the BBC journalists who were in the room. I said what I said and it’s the truth 🤷‍♀️

My preferred AI metaphor is actually Asbestos. - Seemingly magical properties - Developed and experimented with to make endless products - Poisoned countless communities in it's creation - Everything it was used for eventually becomes a toxic hazard to mitigate & it's in the fucking walls now

I think the Cool S should have a unicode point. github.com/Crissov/unic...

Last night's crescent moon. I am, so far, managing to resist the urge to buy a longer telephoto lens solely to take better photos of the moon. #photography

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

The #Artemis II astronauts said they needed more superlatives to describe their view of the eclipse, when the Sun was behind the Moon and its near surface was faintly illuminated by Earthshine

‘Succulent Chinese meal’ speech added to Australia’s National Film and Sound Archive

oh my god this is extremely funny

Thread: I want to go over these two shots again, indulge me in a bit of pixel peeping. I think this is an illustrative example because it sets the question of faces aside; from a purely technical lighting fidelity standpoint, DLSS 5 makes this scene worse.

fuck your desert island disc, I want to know your Guantanamo bay song. what song would the government use to torture you at a Black Site

DLSS 6 replaces you with a different gamer who isn't irked about DLSS 6

This is consistent with my artistic vision

I was asked to give my thoughts on generative AI usage in games - here they are!

they're conjugating your ass on verb twitter

Work dumber not harder

imagine if it happens on tv

I still think about this a lot.

i for one am shocked that the "i go in the pool to cool down, why can't my phone?" guy is bad at programming and offloading his job to the anthropic api

The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer. 🧵 1/5

A minor league hockey team had a wiener dog race. Zero thoughts, just vibes and absolute chaos. A thing of beauty

Reminiscing now about my first job as a game developer, when lighting was so expensive we couldn't even pre-bake it. We made a single texture sheet with a lit side on top, a shadow side on the bottom, and a gradient in between, and placed all our shadows by hand with geometry cuts and UV mapping

Long-tailed tits at the birdfeeder. These guys have been evading my camera for a while now! #photography #ukbirding #birdsofbluesky

Wild that there was an open lane called "what if we just explain things clearly to people?" and he's the first one to ever fill it

half of all tech news lately is some variation of "the computer company has discontinued their well known product, the computer"

In case you missed it, we recently released a new video where we break down how the buildings in Expedition 33 were created in a procedural way. Sharing a small clip here 🙂 Let us know what you think!

I hear CompuServe may also be having some issues. Wanadoo have been contacted for comment.

It should have occurred to me to do this in late December, but I thought I'd share my favourite photographs I took in 2025. Places (1/3) #photography

Reading the Communist Manifesto the way Marx and Engels intended

For clarity, this government has so far: - cancelled HS2 north of Birmingham (previous government hadn't actually done that formally) - cancelled electrification of the Midland Main Line - cancelled West Yorkshire mass transit - cancelled the trans-Pennine high speed line

Politicians: don't use AI to make your maps.
