passando mal

Bandas de rock desconhecidas, como a MotorRockBr, recebem cachês milionários da prefeitura de São Paulo, apesar de não terem lançamentos musicais ou grande público, por @olharolimpico.bsky.social www.metropoles.com/colunas/deme...

Eu acho incrível quem não consegue usar RSS porque o google não tem mais um leitor de feed. Bota aí no seu buscador "rss feed reader" e pronto. Ninguém que lê muitas fontes tem que ficar digitando url o dia inteiro. O problema é conseguir largar o vício de ficar aqui nessas redes sociais bosta.

A estética "progressista" é muito ruim né Pq ela cria um imaginário de superioridade moral nas lutas E nao de justiça social Vira menos sobre derrubar estruturas que nos oprimem e mais sobre "ser fofo e bonzinho"

THE WRITER AND DIRECTOR OF MICHAEL CLAYTON TONY GILROY Fuck Star Wars, my boy is back home! youtu.be/TrMGdrCJ5Ck?...

Honestly still laughing at this. For YEARS people have told me the killer app, no doubt way that OpenAI would fix its business model would be ads, and it turns out it’s not going to make enough money to pay for a single month of inference spend. Great stuff Sammy! Big applause for the big man

Can't tell you how much it would mean to me if you didn't use Sp*tify to listen to podcasts

Not to rehabilitate horseshoe theory, but the thing uniting technopessimism with techno-optimism is, more or less, technomysticism. To have beliefs that tech can somehow, unmoored from human agents who make it, be a force for either good or evil requires a view of technology bordering on magic.

ICE killed a random guy today.

apparently (anecdotally) this feature gets used a fair deal on other platforms which just supports my claim of "the content feed paradigm for information has done the biggest damage to literacy since the middle ages"

Update: conversei com um gari da minha rua e ele tá PUTO com esses golpistas. “Eu trabalho e eles pedem dinheiro! Quando encontrar esses pilantras pergunta pra qual empresa trabalham e chame a polícia”

This weekend I learned why sending 44.1kHz 16-bit lossless music, on macOS, to a 44.1 kHz 24-bit DAC, causes audible (to me) distortion. And now I can never be happy again

This looks like an Ernest movie directed by Kubrick (derogatory) youtu.be/qORTe1wW3Wg?...

Over on Whatever today I'm talking about GMail has turned into a spam farm so completely that a) most email I get from there is spam/scam, b) I can't assume a GMail I get is from a real person, c) people seriously need to get their own email domains these days. whatever.scalzi.com/2026/07/13/i...

I'm working on a similar but not nearly as complicated restoration and recognizing that outside of monetized videos, patronage, or personal satisfaction this level of labor is just not economically viable youtu.be/FsDpHmRhBtg?...

will post the patches + xbox 360 version + a writeup when everything is ready

this is probably going to mean nothing to most people and a lot to 3 years ago i have found out by randomly digging through my PS3 using FTP that outrun online arcade has all the cars from outrun 2006 still present in the game data and they are “just” disabled in the codebase

No atual ritmo, ao final do seu mandato, mais da metade dos grandes jornais dos EUA estarão nas mãos de trumpistas e sionistas fanáticos. Em audiência, será superior a dois terços. E é um dos problemas mais duradouros de seu governo. (Se a bolha de IA falir os Ellisons, é possível, isso muda)

Sabe uma coisa me pega muito? Na época da pandemia as pessoas ficavam escolhendo fornecedor de vacina. Agora tão aí comprando caneta pra emagrecer contrabandeada dentro de estepe sem saber a eficácia.

Netflix is thinking of doing "always on" channels (i.e. TV) which means they'll then do some form of "television playing videos of music" which means they'll then speedrun "recording industry are bastards" followed by "put reality shows on the channel playing videos of music" followed by "cancel it"

He diarrhea’d as he live-arrhea’d

Conheço um total de zero pessoas que escolheu ser PJ. Todo mundo apenas aceitou porque é o que tem. E todo mundo em depressão porque sabem que não irão se aposentar

O Josh Fairhurst (fundador da Limited Run Games) lembrou que os jogos físicos do PS5 são fabricados pela Solutions2Go na Zona Franca de Manaus. O PL da Jandira Feghali poderia abrir as portas para o Brasil se tornar uma alternativa de compra de mídias físicas do PS5 por todo o mundo.

“Don’t speak ill of the dead” is meant for not saying Aunt Gertie was a cheapskate when she dies, not when someone in power who spent decades making life worse for everyone else pops their clogs

[ROB ZOMBIE, ABOUT TO WRITE ONE OF THE BEST SONGS EVER MADE] you ever think about the car grandpa munster drives

Amy Klobuchar’s eulogy for Lindsey Graham was 390 words long. This was 390 more words than she has said in support of trans people

wait they're still doing quakecon this year? in like a month??? lol

That Democrats see mass-murdering fascists dismantling the country as nothing more than "colleagues they dislike" is why we've been in a non-stop plummet. Incredible this is still debatable, by people who ostensibly oppose fascism, ten years into this?!?

No statement from Mitch McConnell on the sudden passing of his senate colleague? So much for decorum

I’m saddened to announce the passing of my work colleague, The Zodiac Killer. While we were often on opposing sides of the business, I always enjoyed his silly little scavenger hunts.

Long ago when the four nations lived in harmony.

please note that "gay" and "unmarried" are almost compliments here

I hope she has an incredible day.

i will say lindsey graham being asked by a reporter how mitch mcconnell is doing, answering “i don’t know, i’m going to check right now” and then dying is hilarious

As a US politician you can routinely call for, and use your considerable power to vote for and agitate for the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent people around the world and it doesn't count as killing them for some reason. A person who does that is not a killer for some reason.

i'm firmly of the belief that everyone should have a creative hobby. even if you aren't "good" at it. it keeps your critical thinking skills engaged, it reminds you that you're still capable of learning and growing and improving at things, it helps you connect to other people. you gotta make stuff!

Speaks to the state of things when a government tells corporations "We won't let you scam people" and they start screaming that's anti business

People don’t really understand now how fucking strange PC gaming was in the 90s. Shareware was legitimately huge. I remember buying a really bad PC game in line at like a supermarket. You could get games at game stores but it was also much more elastic and diffuse.

Best to ever do it

RIP Lindsey Graham. You taught me it was okay to be a coward whose only skill is debasing myself until death for a tiny, ultimately illusionary crumb of power.
