What a non-confusing headline CD PROJEKT and GOG co-founder Michał Kiciński acquires GOG from CD PROJEKT www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/12/cd-p... via @gamingonlinux.com

Never looked into it but there's no great and simple API just poll the CPU temperature on Linux. Instead the most sensible thing seems to be libsensors, and you have to pretty much "know" what chip (driver name) you should look at.

Happy holidays, internet!

Honestly im shocked Well Not that shocked

The problem with Apple’s “it just works” technology is that sometimes the only thing you can do is plug stuff to power and let it think for a while. No progress bars. No logs. You just need devices to attempt to say hello to each other for long enough…

Hey look! A new trailer for Demeo x Dungeons & Dragons: Battlemarked for Meta Quest with passthrough, by @liv.tv productions! www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJZf...

Shot two more rolls. I have points to add: - light balance at around 3100K - No reciprocity failure at least up to 4 seconds of exposure - needs more testing - Dmax is comparable to pushed ektachrome +2 stop. Still perfectly acceptable for a slide projector - low saturation of reds (more on this👇)

Hard drives haven't gone cheaper over the last 5 years, kinda interesting...

Maybe I am a old fart C++ guy at this point but... Rust developers, due to the fact that you have "cargo", you make, and use, way too many libraries. They take way too much time and disk space to compile from source every time somebody setup your project. Feels like npm and js sometimes...

Going to spend a few drops of it to ask Waterman France why did this happen and also to encourage them to reintroduce this product on the market. Mostly for the bit. But I would be surprised if they don’t respond! (Yes, this bottle is about 10 years old - so it’s not the newer blue label)

To my great astonishment and horror, I learn that Waterman has seemingly discontinued Waterman Absolute Brown (formerly Havana Brown) ink? Not that there's no other choices for brown fountain pen ink, but I just have less than half of a bottle of the stuff and wanted a new one...!

Le pinard... Santé à la République!

Maybe I am not putting the right words in AliExpress, but it seems nobody in china is making small little touchpads one could plug into an arduino or something. Am I wrong?

Thanks to Valve, 2026 may well be the year of the Linux desktop…!

I totally did not pay attention to this in the last decade, but France 100% stopped emitting *any* AM radio stations. In my region if one was to try to tune in to anything with an antique radio, you could get (with difficulty especially during the day) only stuff from the UK, Spain....

RenderDoc v1.41 is now available! It adds threaded support for shader debugging, enabling debugging of shaders that use subgroup/wave operations and simulating all threads in a compute group. Full release notes: github.com/baldurk/rend... Binary builds: renderdoc.org/builds

I promised film scans, here there are: This is no alternative to Ektachrome. Kodak might be unintentionally making a pretty acceptable 50 ISO tungsten balanced "lower" contrast and saturation slide film (with some amount of magenta/green shift) Again, it's a negative film for ｐｌａｎｅｓ

E-6 Cross processed Kodak Aerocolor IV (REFLX Pro 100 in this case. It's same film as SantaColor 100 and Elektra 100. Probably other rebrand exist) Rating it EI 50 (so, box speed +1EV), 85B warming + Skylight 1A filters. This looks too good to be a hack, like WTF? Will do real scans later...

Searching stuff inside the scan of a old paper from 1922. The OCR that was used on the PDF read the greek letter gamma (γ) as a 7. Which is slightly annoying when this is a paper about sensitometry. (Interestingly they use a geometric method of obtaining the gamma, not the analytical one)

Please @discord.com do not force on users your halloween sound pack. This is extremely annoying to opt out of.

iOS 26.1 Beta is suprisingly buggy at least on an iPhone 14 Pro. Camera app often opens to a black screen

Old manual mechanical typewriters in "okay" shape (not fully broken but need some love) are a dime a dozen sure... But if you are French, and want to find something with a QWERTY keyboard, and that types in Elite fount not Pica (12 characters to the inch, rather than the usual 10) seems impossible

CRT Rescue 🚨📺💗 #ブラウン管 #イラスト #OC #DonnaBright

L'Europe a inauguré en Allemagne Jupiter, son premier ordinateur géant et ultra-rapide, destiné à combler son retard dans l'intelligence artificielle, et à renforcer la recherche scientifique, en particulier sur le climat. L'article: ➡️ u.afp.com/Sdso

Each time I see anything written in cyrilic it's interesting that I can read most of it because I know greek

J’avais complètement zappé que depuis iOS 18.4 il y a deux nouvelles voix françaises pour Siri Elle sont beaucoup plus naturelle au niveau des intonations, inflexions et liaisons. Voix 3 (féminine) somne un peut à bout de souffle par contre

125?! Not my choice as, ISO is a standard. And I should think that 125 is derived by sensitonetry: Develop it to the specified rate, and LogE o, 0.10 density above base+fog is used to calculate arithmetic film speed… The question should be about EI (exposure index) and not ISO speed… 🤓

There was a number of BlackMagic Cine immersive cameras around the 14th of July celebrations in Paris. Wonder when and where any of this footage will show up

It was 56 years ago today Neil Armstrong first stepped on the moon — a worldwide event that millions tuned into, including me and my brother (even if I did fall asleep). It’s a big reason we became astronauts and a great example of what our country can do when we work together.

I hate the mere existence of US letter paper size, and it being used in PDF documents. I am printing out some Kodak technical documents, and they all have a couple of centimeters of blank area at the bottom. Because I lived in the civilized part of the world that use A4 paper.

Behold. Preview.App !

Since I cleaned this contact, the camera has not hammed up yet. It shot 3 rolls of film since (one was a short one just to check if everything was alright in a bulk roll of fomapan 100 I just got)

If you manufacture hardware. And you orovide an SDK. And if you are choosing about doing it in C or in C++ for no good reasons (you’re basically just using namespaces and one class as 3 methods that could be functions.) Please do it in C. It’s a lot more bindable and portable…. 😅

Been testing out GodotBoy this morning, a project for @godotengine.org that lets you drop in your @gbstudio.dev game and export a native exe for Windows/Mac/Linux. Seems like this could a good way for anyone looking to distribute in the different app stores greenf0x.itch.io/godotboy-tem...

This is a very first attempt of doing RA-4 reversal printing from one ektachrome frame. I simply used ILFORD Multigrade black and white developer as 1st developer and just waved the print for a minute I for of a light before color development though the normal RA-4 process. Need lower contrast

I just saw someone use the expression "LLM hallucination propagation" to describe the compounding and self-reinforcing hallucinations when you let an LLM access your codebase, as analogous to NaN propagation in graphics 10/10 no notes lol

That apple redesign is a lot less drastic that what I imagined. This is really much not a iOS 7 moment

Businesses, you do not need to put this bullshit in the footer of your emails. This is not going to fix climate change

I may actually write a blerb about this maybe on my mostly abandoned blog A rarely documented online cause of shutter failure for Canon A-series (here AE-1 Program) cameras is the "SW4 Count Switch" not actually closing after the 1st curtain latch is armed if it's dirty, or corroded (or both)

I think every google workspace got “Gemini” in now. My workplace does at least. And now somebody turns it on in our meetings often. Results are so bad that it has a hard time understanding the name of the company and our products (which often contains the company name)

My language préférée is Fenglish. And it’s my phone’s aussi.

I've never seen it so well put before.

Wikipedia et Wikidata ne sont pas d'accord sur la date et le lieu de naissance d'Émilie du Châtelet! Qui donc croire sur quand et où est née la traductrice du Pricipia Matematica de Newton (et amie de Voltaire)!

La société GoldUnion ne respecte pas les "STOP PUB" sur les boites au lettres. Elle distribue elle même régulièrement des lettres non adressés marqué "URGENT A L'ATTENTION DES RESIDENTS DU DÉPARTEMENT" pour promouvoir leurs boutique de rachat d'Or. Acte illégal et puni d'une amende de 7500€

One thing I caught my brain doing while typing quickly. Born on glass and on a real keyboard, and that makes no sense is typing “peice” instead of “piece”. Weirdest part is that this word is also French (pièce), and I don’t do that in French.
