based william shatner for anybody who missed it when he went to real space instead of turning into a "let's do mars next" hype fool he went hard into jfc space is death earth is our only option for life

I think we should let China do a regime change in the US. As a little treat.

"You can't tell it's Jared Leto". "It's the best Jared Leto movie since he got Huey Lewis and the News'ed in American Psycho". - Mark Kermode on Masters of the Universe.

So I'm watching this summergamesfest stuff and is it jsut me or do a lot of big budget games look the same? the same kind of hyper-realism with the same washed out color grading? Am i imagining this?

Uhmmm....

If a game is PvP i immediately check out.

Ok, another Alian Isolation game is pretty neat. love me some of that 70's futurism.

Please. For the love of God. It's 2026. Stop recommending "Run as Administrator" as a fix for anything, especially for a game. Stop it. Get help.

One of the best drum intros ever created

My biggest shortcoming is that I'm so fucking stupid

Hmmmm....

Time's Up is an incredibly good album.

Wat?

Watching genAI "movies" be like "Oh, look. It's Not Ernie Hudson. There's Not Michelle Yeoh and there is Not Keanu Reeves. Oh, neat. Not Angelina Jolie is in this"

GitHub is going the way of SourceForge

Yes, this is how helicopter pilots communicate.

Everything is bad about he genAI videos but the editing and cutting is absolutely bonkers bad.

Orgs still falling for the Anthropic Mythos hype machine, i see.

You know how MAGA musicians like Kid Rock and Aaron Lewis are easy to laugh at? It’s a bigger problem than you’d think. This video looks at how MAGA Metal is horrible and it’s getting worse. Watch here: youtu.be/oHo_PxvFRHc

Those are some big ass swords. Also, how do you tattoo your hair?

Boy, Ai choreographed fight scenes is something else and by something else I mean the worst you've ever seen. Kids with a Super-8 camera and a dream made better fight scenes in their backyard.

Sometimes I watch one of those AI short films or whatever they are that youtube recommends. They're still so fucking bad. On a technical level it is kinda impressive that a computer can do this but as an artistic expression it's trash. Total garbage.

Matthew Lillard criticized the industry for prioritizing celebrities over voice actors in animation: “The ability to carry a film, as the lead of a film with only a voice, is a power very few people have. The idea that they keep hiring crappy celebrities to carry huge films is killing us.”

When people say 'AI isn't a bubble because the technology isn't going away', it just shows they don't know what a bubble is. The internet didn't go away. Railways didn't go away. Tulips didn't go away. An asset can be overvalued, even if its useful.

The groove. It is at the maximus.

It's funny how every time an open source project bans AI code contributions the AI folks starts whining like spoiled brats about how toxic open source has become.

Oh, did the master deal maker blow the Iran deal again? Oh no. What a surprise. Who could have guessed?

I have not accidentally seen porn on bsky in years. Is this even a real problem?

It has taken me this long to find out that Sean Astin is the son of John Astin.

0 bytes does not seem like the correct install size. And lo and behold, it does not work after installation. What the fuck?

Fucking hell. Well done, Norway.

The Iran deal is the new infrastructure week

Its a mystery to me why Andrew Tridgell, who is no newbie coder, would fuck up this bad.

Weird how people get annoyed when you break software that has been working fine for decades by suddenly vibe coding stuff. Wild. Open source is just so hostile now. Wah wah wah. Cry me a fucking river. Make stupid decisions, win stupid prices. (Yes, this is about rsync)

It's wild how many lost nukes there are.

I don't want to create an account or give you my email address. Fuck off with this shit.

Data center security is very important but it's also perfectly OK to put compute nodes in the homes of random people.

When do you think Google stopped caring about the UX in Google Cloud Platform?

So Mark Kermode liked the "Backrooms" movie, huh? Interesting. Might be worth checking out.

A slow computer is more stress full than no computer

"Not a "crazed gunman", dad, I'm an assassin!"

NPM is such a joke of a package manager

So just for fun I decided to check out the soundtrack for the Mixtape game since I grew up in the 80's and was a young man in the 90's and ... uh ... this must be a very Australian selection because I have never heard any of these songs.

Finished my video on 007! Give it a look!

Extremely poignant discussion in the Thrillcast intro this week.

Anyone else had this weird thing where a bunch of games shows up in your account that you have never added? I have*never* added any of these games. I do not know why I own them.

Ah well, guess I'm never playing Death Stranding now.

If there is one thing bugs me about KDE, it is how unstable the package manager DIscover is.
