Any old Amiga devs from back in the day out there? What did you work on?

this is mesmerizing

Fuck.

This still pops into my head all the time

You got to be kidding me.

Super late to the party but I'm really impressed with Quantic Dream's Detroit : Become Human. The game plays in a world where Androids are fully realized and human-like. They're also exploited as consumer objects. Many moral questions ensue! At its best an absolute experience.

I've reported the issue, but as of Blender 4.5.1 it has not been fixed :/

AI Weiwei never fails to inspire. Even if you disagree you’ll find a lot to work with (or against) in his thinking: hyperallergic.com/1050197/what...

Wish this was much more reflected in media reporting. @phillipspobrien.bsky.social does a great job working out the dynamics that were pretty much always on display, even before Trump's return to the White House.

Remember the first few months of this year, when all we talked about was DOGE and spending cuts and waste, and this administration gutted USAID? And now they’re giving $40 billion (!) to Argentina. Insane the amount of amnesia in this country and in our politics and media.

Asking for regime change after having just received a Nobel peace price is quite a statement. I wonder if the Nobel committee has already developed buyer's remorse.

Got me Sony's new noise canceling flagship, the WH-1000XM6 headphones, and I'm so happy about them. I can't even hear my own high pitched typing sounds which are notoriously hard to cancel out. It's just a boon for an inner city flat. Sound is great as well. Very much recommended!

“This is a movement…This is an achievement of a whole society…I am just one person.” The beautiful humility of Venezuelan pro-democracy leader, Maria Corina Machado, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize recipient.

Actual good news: Chat control seems to be off the table again... for now. Proof that protest works – but also proof of a broken system. Why do citizens have to fight the same battle every year?

Good news for Synology users! Goes to show that protest has a very real effect.

🚨 🇩🇪's position on Chat Control is at a tipping point, reportedly there is disagreement within government parties 📢 The upcoming hours will decide the digital future of 🇪🇺! Especially if you are a 🇩🇪 citizen: 📧 ☎️ contact your representatives & ✍️ sign the petition now: weact.campact.de/petitions/ch...

💯 If you had a problem with police going through your private things 24/7, you should have a problem with gov malware on your device.

You’ll recall that the selling point for organising our societies like this is that this is the best, fairest and most efficient way to determine value and allocate resources

I really love that concept. And that's before it being a 1024 byte entry!

Gave my Slack bot the ability to pin emojis to other messages. It also can search on the web and a myriad of other tiny things all while having a somewhat opinionated oldskool coder personality. It's fun! I'm still betting on an emergent trajectory. Each feature adds to the whole more than itself.

I always thought it's bad taste and unprofessional to commit swear words or whine about a system in commentary. After today's system I had to emulate I think differently. Omitting the proper amount of cursing on this brain-breaking dump would amount to withholding any future reader relief.

Ich wuerd gerne eine europäische Blogging Alternative zu Substack/Medium/etc. bauen, für Leute, die ihr Publikum mit Langtexten versorgen wollen. Ich würde von Bloggern dafür €1/Monat verlangen. Sämtliche Inhalte können jederzeit exportiert werden, man ist nicht "gefangen". Interessiere?

Now that everyone is (again) finding out that having 1600 random NPM (indirect) dependencies isn't a great idea, a reminder I wrote about this very problem in @spectrum.ieee.org in 2024: spectrum.ieee.org/lean-softwar...

🇪🇺DANGER TO DEMOCRACY. In 2 days, EU governments debate #chatcontrol: a plan to mass-scan all our private messages. 500+ scientists warn it’s technically broken, breaks #encryption & threatens our rights. EU gov'ts must listen to the experts & BLOCK it! […]

Stumbled upon an Icelandic performer known for his rímur chanting today when branching off from Current 93. Rímur is a traditional epic poem performed in meters of the same name and I think it's just beautiful stuff:

Just watched Swiss Army Man going in blind and wow, I see why it has a cult following. Very recommended for lovers of surreal stories but be prepared for liberal displays of all kinds of bodily functions.

🇬🇧Public pressure works: Belgium, Finland & Czechia will NOT approve the #ChatControl mass surveillance law in October. But other governments whose vote is crucial are still on the fence. Urge them to protect our digital privacy and encryption now […] [Original post on digitalcourage.social]

ok I synthesized a few ideas and I think I figured out how to explain basically all goth music

I tried my hand at making a video codec. I didn't know the first thing about video codecs when I started, so was quite fun to learn about the concepts and how to implement them. I packaged the result in a stb-style, single-file header-only lib, < 2500 loc with no dependencies.

AI image generation. Sure, it's controversial. But how would we otherwise appreciate fake German 90ies adverts for Cubase compatible MIDI beaks?
