We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

My statement on the GOP shutdown.

This post was 5 years in the making, @shazow.net and I made a bet about whether "six", the Python 2/3 compatibility shim, would still be a popular package in 2025: sethmlarson.dev/winning-a-be...

My e-Reader Picross engine is done! It plays virtually identical to Picross on the Game Boy. I still have over 300 bytes of space, so I'll add even more polish and maybe another feature. #gamedev #indiedev

I believe it’s a fairly new part of the spec so it is likely to be spotty across platforms for some time, but support for import/export is coming to Apple platforms later this year 9to5mac.com/2025/06/13/i...

I am interested in learning more about #passkeys (aka #passwordless). I've read a few older articles about how, due to the requirement of never allowing a "decrypted", passkeys are not portable across "providers".

During the creation of my book, 'POCA!', I learned a lot about the Pocket Camera. Stuff that I couldn't find documented anywhere on the internet. So, in the interests of documentation and preservation, I wrote a new blog post talking all about the secrets I found! www.jofamo.com/blog/secrets...

Y'all pluralizing SBOM as SBOMs when you know full well that it's SBsOM

NEW VIDEO! You do not need to buy $80 games Reject FOMO, forget about tariffs, who needs economics when there have always been games that cared about your wallet. It’s me Derek and I’m here to talk recent & old examples of games that were a bargain on day-one! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7K7L...

🚨 There is a new ongoing phishing campaign against PyPI users. This campaign uses the same tactics as the previous campaign targeting PyPI users, but with a new domain. Read more about what steps we're taking to protect PyPI users from future campaigns:

The PSF joined the @openssf.org & others in signing “Open Infrastructure is Not Free.” Funding gaps in the open source industry mean critical infrastructure lacks support. Corporations benefiting from it must invest to sustain it. Read more ➡️

@wordlessalibi.bsky.social admitted to me that she had boiled eggs and cheese for breakfast today. Somebody misses Iceland 🇮🇸💔

My favorite subscription right now is @404media.co, I don't read every article (there's a lot) but boy are they fighting some good fights.

We're excited to announce the results of the 2025 election for the PSF Board! Sending a big thank you to the nominees, our outgoing Board members, and our community for participating this year- we are so grateful to be in community with all of you 💙💛

as you cancel disney subscriptions, please remember to support your favorite independent media. there are amazing people doing critical work with very little support, and things are only getting harder. here are some of my favorites: www.citationneeded.news/friends/. feel free to post yours below!

I've taken the time to update my Animal Crossing letter scoring tool that launched earlier this year on my website. Included is a brand new UI, alongside various code optimizations and additional scaling support for mobile devices. 📨 hunter-r.com/ac-letter-sc...

Finally got back to my picross game for the #Nintendo E-Reader. The engine is done! Now just polish, polish, tweaks, and more polish. It can support up to 255 puzzles, which live on their own cards. I'm going to have about 40-60 puzzles at release. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #gba

FYI, I got an obvious phishing attempt in my inbox from `[email protected]` that was masquerading as a security breach notification. It made it past gmail's spam filters. The link goes to the `github.rustfoundation.dev` domain.

WAIT A SECOND

Ah yes!!! There was a small #Analogue Pocket "E-Reader extender" restock, so now I'll have one to be able to review @retrodotcards.com recent set of new E-Reader game cards that I received in the mail. bsky.app/profile/turf...

I'm picking back up my #Pikmin 2 quest to collect all unique treasures, this time working through PAL. My "theme" for this play-through is "music", so I've elected to not collect the "Treasure Gauge" to avoid the constant ding-ding-ding ruining the atmosphere. sethmlarson.dev/pikmin-2-int...

Haven't had a #Netflix subscription in some time and just recently restarted a subscription at the "Standard w/ Ads" tier. Opened the app, signed in, and watched the Chromecast button /disappear from the UI/...

In my estimation, a lot of the people who have problems with Bluesky are so used to platforms just serving up the content buffet that they're unwilling to do the work to have a good experience here. That work is the social part of social media.

this is taking too long aaaaaa

Do you dislike drafting long text messages on a mobile keyboard? Me too! I created a little tool that lets you write text messages from a computer and then send them from your phone by scanning a QR code: sethmlarson.dev/draft-sms-an...

“The vulnerability might be in the proof-of-concept” This is a common pattern I see for reporters to open source projects, where the proof-of-concept itself contains the vulnerability, not the project. 👉 sethmlarson.dev/the-vulnerab... #security #opensource #oss #vulnerability

This is the only thing I feel existential fear about as a parent. There's nothing I can do to protect my son from a shooting. It seems silly to think it could happen to us. But this is just shows how it COULD happen to anyone, anywhere, at anytime. My heart breaks for the parents who lost their kids

Did you know about “SMS URLs”? You can template a text message to recipient(s) from a hyperlink, similar to “mailto” 👉 sethmlarson.dev/sms-urls

The PSF has adopted pypistats.org, ensuring long-term stability while staying open source and community driven 🎉 Thank you to Christopher Flynn, for operating this awesome community service for 6+ years- and for continuing to maintain the project 💪🐍 pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/08/pypi...

It's scary to be "on pace" for being able to try all the new food items at the Minnesota #StateFair... @wordlessalibi.bsky.social and I are at 20/41 new items tried and we have two of 4 visits remaining in the year 😬

New from data reporter @shadib.bsky.social: Minnesota ranks 1st in country in share of adults who identify as transgender. “This should be a point of pride for Minnesotans,” says @rohnkat.bsky.social of @outfrontmn.bsky.social www.minnpost.com/data/2025/08...

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes

The landlord class couldn’t be bothered to help DFL conventions run. But once a brown person was endorsed who doesn’t align with their class interest they suddenly had all the money, energy, and lawyers in the world to “fix” the result. But this is a new era, and @omarfatehmn.com wont be stopped.

electeds signing onto a letter condemning the revocation of omar fateh's DFL endorsement that calls out chair richard carlbom's campaign to unite the party with these actions now

It's Minnesota #StateFair opening day, Trina and I are going (our first time to the opener) so if you're at the fair sometime tonight give me a ping! :)

The #GameCube library had multiple #SEGA game collections: “Sonic Mega Collection”, “Sonic Adventure DX”, and “Sonic Gems Collection” with #Genesis and #GameGear games. Let's compare to “Sonic Origins Plus” and the “Genesis collection” for Nintendo Switch Online: 👉 sethmlarson.dev/extracting-g...
