I'm curious if Ring products in Europe are also part of this (or another) surveillance network. Wouldn't surprise me if the answer is yes, meaning that I really should try to convince my neighbour to get an alternative camera doorbell.

“Hey Mike, you heading to DICE or GDC this year?”

this is unironically how you know it's so *over* over

For my followers in the EU, there is an European citizens’ initiative you can sign to demand the full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement. If you are for BDS this would be a huge step up. eci.ec.europa.eu/055/public/#...

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

ENCYCLOPEDIA [Easy: Failure]

Machine-learned AI is terrible for idea generation. The algorithm is designed to *produce the most predictable next token* Even as you try to push it to originality, it fights you and tries to pull it back to the most average tropes. Its a PREDICTABILITY MACHINE.

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

Well if it's this close to home I feel almost obligated to attend 😉. I've taken part in the AI and Games Summer School 4 times now and it's always lots of fun.

I somehow haven't fully absorbed the scale of the memory chip shortage until just now, when I looked at @tweakers.net 's price graph of this Kingston 32GB RAM set. Holy shit. I was toying with the idea of upgrading to an AMD AM5 socket system earlier this year… guess I will wait…

Israel hunted a 70 year old lady down with a gun drone and then hoovered above to make sure she bled out next to her dying son. They both join almost 1,000 Palestinians Israel has massacred or maimed in its genocide during the "ceasefire". www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12...

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start If you can't trace a video back to a trusted source then I recommend leaving it where it is, like a slice of bologna you found on the street

Japan's "Mundane Halloween" costume contest is back! Each year website DailyPortalZ holds a contest where people dress up as something super duper ordinary. Here's a thread of some of my favorites from the 2025 contest! #MundaneHalloween

it's me, unnamed critter from bosch's triptych of the temptation of anthony!

Toeslagenaffaire, Groningers kapot, zorg kapot, onderwijs gesloopt, wooncrisis veroorzaakt, mensen de armoede ingewerkt, PVV groot gemaakt, PVV nog groter gemaakt, PVV de grootste gemaakt, in een flutkabinet met nul oplossingen gestapt. En nóg verliest de VVD slechts één zetel. Wat een land.

I hope that @zdfde.bsky.social has realised that the decorative floodlights at the Hofvijver won't turn on after sunset due to the ongoing renovation works. The background will be quite dark by the time the 🇳🇱🗳️exit polls results come in.
