Very funny from /r/balatro

This is real btw

The AI is enviable crowd saying "Today's AI is the worst you will ever use." Are you sure, bro? Were you even born before 2000? The internet was amazing and it got real bad.

Her book has been in my to read list and I think this bumps it up.

hope you brought urine!

This was incredible and the end was amazing. YouTube provided this weekend. youtu.be/af9o53tYXY4...

In addition to letting you remove AI slop from your search results, Kagi also warns you when a domain has been flagged as AI slop by users.

The DuckDuckGo no AI marketing is hilarious to me. It’s still just a rebranded Bing and its results are not great. Even with Google sucking, its results are still way better. If you want good web search and don’t want to be tracked you have to pay for it. Kagi is worth the price.

With the way the consoles explode in Star Trek you’d think no one would want to sit in front of one.

This Star Trek episode has a woman in labor for 17 hours. Why don’t they just beam that baby out?

lmao

It’s not over. Android handhelds are amazing, half the price and play Steam Games. You’re looking in the wrong place. The golden age is beginning.

Don’t toss out your old Kindle because Amazon bricked it. Jailbreak it! Here’s how I got my 4th gen with buttons set up with KOReader. longplaytech.com/posts/jailbr...

There was some speculation on the Retronauts Discord that TwinBee: Rainbow Bell Adventures never came to the U.S. because Konami couldn't figure out how to market it in the screamoid era of ’90s game ads, so I took it upon myself to lead the way

Acting like Goldilocks when it comes to retro gaming handhelds? It’s hard to decide which to play and when. Some are too big, some are too much trouble to set up, some are pricey, but the Miyoo Mini Plus with Onion OS is *just right.* longplaytech.com/posts/miyoo-...

Kagi.com is the way to go. Yes, it’s not free. The people in the replies don’t seem to understand that Google sucks specifically because it’s “free.” You pay in other ways.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but after using an ereader, a tablet, and several retro handhelds that all run Android, I’m now a fan and almost want to ditch my iPhone. It’s amazing when you can just install what you want on your device.

holy shit yes

Incredible

unmute, i beg you

Is that the Wilhelm scream?

This is for *your* kids, you understand. The tech elites send *their* kids to private, screen-free Montessori schools. They know exactly what they're doing.

Green Day fun fact. An old friend of mine used to bring an Ernie puppet to shows. Green Day got a kick out of it and used a photo of him with the puppet for the back of the Dookie album. At some point they were slapped with a cease and desist so they had to photoshop Ernie out.

Wild that Google had this paper pulled off DeepMind letterhead but also there's a reason I keep asking people if language is the same as intelligence -- it obviously is not. @benjaminjriley.bsky.social laid it out for us last year! www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

@chrislhayes.bsky.social ICYMI, a piece that reminded me of Twilight Of The Elites, for obvious reasons. "a world with universal basic income is more meritocratic than a world without one" www.scottsantens.com/the-angine-d...

My room is now more creepy vibed. #SilentHill

Got tired of manually creating .chd disc images of games for my Retroid Pocket 6, so I vibe coded a script that will do it in a batch. Works great so far! github.com/MrBlank/imag...

That new Neo Geo console looks amazing, but I’m not giving money to SNK, or anything owned by a violent Saudi prince. It’s really odd all the coverage doesn’t ever mention that connection. I already have half a dozen ways to play those games anyway.

I saw very little Neo Geo+ coverage this week bothering to mention the man who owns SNK, and I think that is a failing. The retro gaming scene continues to shy away from any uncomfortable realities that get in the way of nostalgic good times. It can and should be better than that

Frank Stack was a cartoonist, fine artist, educator, & one of the founding figures of underground comics. He passed away recently, and to honor his memory @comicsjournal.bsky.social has made available an interview that @gtlabsrat.bsky.social & I did with him a while back. www.tcj.com/the-comics-j...

this account is run by a human at NASA JPL who only posts real images with their receipts. it only has 11k followers compared to the 200k the ai slop space account has

Tactics Ogre: Reborn is $15 on Steam. That’s low enough for me to bite. It also works on the Retroid Pocket 6 just fine with default settings.

Software brain is real. Not everything needs to be automated. Most people don’t want that level of analysis. I want to be human and messy. youtu.be/1RKGWg2Ex2U...

P.S. There is actually a perfect cross between Doctor Who and Columbo already. His name is Carl Kolchak.

I couldn't help myself

You find the darndeset things at Goodwill

The Columbine massacre was on this date in 1999. Instead of energizing our country to get gun violence under control, it kicked off a new normal. One of the best explanations ever of journalism's destructive impact on mass shootings came from Roger Ebert in his review of Gus Van Sant’s “Elephant.”
