§188 should simply not exist

It surely does feel like we've finally arrived at the end of an era, huh

People keep on saying stuff like "damn why was everyone so happy in 2016, where did we all go wrong" as though there wasn't a blindingly obvious political change in that year

The Oslo Pride video is so beautiful Feels like a peak into what the 2010s optimism around that day felt like, but it's also a grim reminder of just how much things have changed since then

Still so very surprised by how great my MacBook Neo is. I kind of just want to clone the chassis and put the SpacemiT K3 RISC-V Framework laptop mainboard in here …

Just finished the season finale of For All Mankind, what a show!

What a week, huh

If the ownership of #digid (the Dutch digital ID platform) is something that should be subject to the laws of a free market, then why is the US ambassador in the Netherlands stepping in? And why is he requesting an urgent meeting with the Dutch PM? Would his boss allow a Dutch company to take […]

Manually rebasing things still remains the maybe the most annoying thing I can think of

I see it's the week of "how can we best pull up the ladders behind us and regulate ourselves into irrelevancy" people finally exercising their control

There is a real chance that in 5-10 years, there will be laptops and smartphones running open processors and operating systems with UX and and an OS comparable or better than the proprietary equivalent, but which are effectively useless to the average consumer because it is cryptographically […]

Milk-V pls ship me my RISC-V boards 🙏🙏🙏

I'm way to sleepy today for some reason

-5000 Palantir credits

CBC's framing of Bill C-22 is hilariously wrong

The freedom to compute is a hill worth dying on

I've had this one Aqua song stuck in my head all day

We all need a bit more Eurodance in our lives

A stickering social down Main. We marked annual crash numbers at every intersection between 28th and 6th. Main x Kingsway x 7th "leading" the way with 128 crashes per year. That's almost one every two days!

AMD GPUs now work on the SpacemiT K3: https://old.reddit.com/r/RISCV/comments/1tjbq36/amd_radeon_rx_6400_running_on_k3_picoitx_with/ I might genuinely try to daily-drive it once mine arrives ...

My default 2026 reaction to anything happening around me really does seem to be to just go along with it for ... the plot?

You will own something and be happy

ArXiv announces a ban on AI content and the responses are hilarious. > You expect us to actually read the papers we cite?! yes, lol! https://www.404media.co/new-arxiv-rules-ai-generated-papers-ban/

Every few month I listen to Casper's Im Ascheregen and it ever more closely encapsulates how I feel about the world

I was really sceptical of using a locally-managed library again after using Spotify for so long, but I'm ngl Jellyfin's Music system feels like the best of both worlds

I've started hand-drawing my slides for talks recently and honestly? tons of fun

Drinking coffee and eating dried figs on the couch while watching videos about greenhouses in North Korea on the long weekend One of the most days of all time indeed

I miss how much fun preparing talks is when you cut noise out of the equation. You can just talk about stuff you care about it turns out!

Loving the new #postmarketos boot splash

I wish the term and concept of Gleichschaltung were more known worldwide
