You know if you follow me I don’t do a lot of “buy my stuff” posting but I have to be real with you about these hats: they are mad cool

oh word? they got bottle fights in washington square park now?

This is an important thing to understand about the behavior that gets described as "AI psychosis"; people are using tools they were told would be helpful or useful, but the companies run by folks with the most experience in the world at manipulating billions of users have designed an addictive app.

at last, we have invented retrophenology from the classic Discworld text Don’t Invent Retrophenology

this is so wild because the guy who did my vasectomy told me Noah's Ark was still on Mount Ararat, and he had seen it himself. He could have saved himself a trip and just gone to the museum

I want you to put the word out there that we back up.

I stopped listening to Gogol Bordello once I realized they sounded like Gogol Bordello parody band and the thing is: every tech exec talking about AI sounds like a parody of a tech exec talking about AI

This is exactly what happened when I switched to Linux. I get the same amount of kisses from the same number of people (1) but my hair and eyes did change color

just found a thing in my linux package manager called 'gnome-circle' i don't even care what it does. i want to know more about gnome circle

The AI bubble RAM crisis is caused for non-existent problems by non-existent money for a non-existent infrastructure to meet non-existent demand to make non-existent business and will utterly destroy real business based on real demand and real infrastructure built with real money for real problems.

I'm sorry to report that i've just learned about Clavicular.

I am a luddite and to me there is a lot of joy in technology. In technology that we deploy for all our wellbeing. Solar panels and vaccines, high-speed rail and wikipedia. But they joy stems from the feeling of being able to be part of humanity in an embedded, meaningful way. Not from buying shit.

I got a great question on my Ramadan thread: do Muslims also need to avoid consumption by proxy in videogames? Does consuming in-game food or drink break the fast? Basically: does your character have to go fast? The answer is no, unless you happen to be playing Sonic the Hedgehog.

Hey man, the Malaprop Club called. Bad news: you’re getting dismembered.

I haven't played The Roottrees are Dead but every time I hear anything about it I'm just weirded out that it takes place in Butler County, PA in 1998. Like I know games have to have settings and whatnot but I already did Butler County in 1998

“It’s pretty easy by now to use computers to generate music-like material that is not actually the expression of an individual human being. Music is a fundamental human experience.” @terrenceobrien.bsky.social interviews @lauriespiegel.bsky.social www.theverge.com/report/87981...

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

They should make a game that feels like Kings Quest VI did when I was eleven

and then what

yo this slaps

firing the guy who flew me here because he lost my special blanket, then rehiring him so he can fly me back home

[Gimli listening to the radio in 2002] Oakenfold, eh? Good dwarvish name.

Ring cancels its partnership with Flock Safety after surveillance backlash

Wait, is curling just slippery petanque?

It took me months, about 495 rides, recovering from a shattered right foot and hacking a folding scooter, but I finally own a Nintendo Switch 2 using points obtained from Citi Bike. Afterwards, it left me questioning the very nature of work. For @aftermath.site. aftermath.site/switch-2-cit...

Slack sure loves to pop up notifications for a thread I already have open, thus obscuring the actual thread with notifications about the thread

lord grant me the courage to change the things i can, the wisdom to accept the things i can't, and the deranged genius to write headlines like @pcgamer.com does

Always a great sign for how things are going in your country when 21-year-olds are like “hey, I innovated a system to play bagpipes in tear gas”

bagpipes remain undefeated

I am not watching the super bowl. Not out of some kind of statement or anything. I'm actually trying to reflash the firmware on my numpad which involves a lot of fiddly terminal commands for some reason. Super bowl seems to be going well, unlike my ZMK config

This Vonnegut quote is great news for me personally, a guy who is bad-to-okay at a bunch of things and only good at a couple

This is spectacular www.theverge.com/tech/862070/...

Just in time for the Super Bowl, we asked @jank0.bsky.social to dive deep into all the aunties and uncles streaming every channel and sports feed available with generic IPTV boxes, which have created a fascinating parallel tech economy across America: www.theverge.com/streaming/87...

a little annoyed that 3d printer bfs [gender neutral] all over the country have been validated by the whistles. it's as if the revolution had suddenly needed all the weird cables they're holding onto. you know what i mean.

If your Wikipedia article looks like this, you done fucked up

i'm keyboardposting again on the verge dot com.

We've got a new batch of Verge stories that are completely free to read for today only. First up, from @jp2e.bsky.social: After years of trying to switch to Home Assistant, Claude Code got me (mostly) there in one afternoon.

my son is five, same age as Liam Ramos. you don't need to have a child the same age to be fucking horrified by the violence we are doing (and HAVE BEEN doing) upon immigrant children in this nation. but that he keeps asking for his spidey backpack is the kind of detail that rips my heart in two.
