After watching Days of Thunder (1990) with the family, I just realized this is a movie that was 100% real. No CGI, no computers. Actual cinematography on a very expensive scale (60 million, in 1990!!).

Luanti, just like Minecraft, is a voxel game. Except, it's written in Lua (performs insanely well on old hardware, and mobiles), and is free and open source. www.luanti.org We started back when it was called MineTest. I self host servers for the kid and their friends. Safe, private, and secure.

Finally, someone asks the question I've been asking. Same goes for the recent no-bid fed govt contractors and everyone in #TrumoEpstein files. NDAs do not protect against unlawful activities, and in this case it would the bribes, violations of environmental regulations, and the Clean Air Act.

New episode. Ep 176: NSL One day Nick got a visit from the FBI demanding he give them data on one of his customers. They asked for it in the form of a National Security Letter or NSL. It seemed to violate the constitution. So he set out to change the law. darknetdiaries.com/episode/176/

Not a conspiracy. Not pattern matching. Mention a document that makes people look silly, and they will wipe years of documents and paid-for research to save face. Only some forward thinking to save a copy prevents oblvion. Or as the Internet Archive calls it, Friday. Anyway. archive.org/donate

Missed opportunity to use ", and etc..." Unless, you meant to exclude that unwieldy cluster of other people's ideas of how they think your machine is supposed to work. (No Arch users were harmed in the making of this post)

I'd be more than happy to buy Nvidia GPUs that "fell off the back of a truck."

Three house projects finished up today. Anyone else feeling productive today? Oh, and don't buy fireworks. Donate to your local no-kill animal shelter. Pets, animals, etc hate fireworks.

Someone get this guy a Sponsor! The level of foresight to pick random parts and "make it" functional is rare. It's this kind of imagination and creativity I foster in my own kids. www.youtube.com/watch?v=7uBt...

On July 4th 1776, we declared our independence from an all powerful tyrant of the land. 171 years would go by before we codified who exactly the powers fall to when leaders are impeached and convicted. Succession. Voting this Nov is critical to take the house back and re-install a Dem president.

I think it’s important to note that every single game is played in a blue city, even the ones in red states. So if the world is feeling welcomed, that we’re not what they see on tv, it’s because of the progressive, liberal values of those host cities. It’s actually another repudiation of red America

That about sums up the dread.

Current AI exploitations: 1. Setup a normal/clean git repo. 2. Purposely code it so it fails to initialize with an error to run a simple CLI cmd as init instructions. 3. That cmd pulls malicious payloads from DNS TXT. Ai agents will see the error and autorun the setup/init cmd. Ur Pwned 👇

That's cool. A fact about e-ink displays is that typically no power is needed after the screen is send what to display. You can power it off, and the screen remains. Think monochrome 2D/3D art, or last game played/favorite game cover. Etc.

When you ban books...

InfoWars is now live.

-15 F for 3+ weeks this last winter. 103 F today, and for the next week. I've never lived in an area with such a temperature difference like this.

YES!!! YES!!! YES YES YES!!! FINALLY !!!!!!!!! #idiocracy that didn't go far enough.

Woke up to my laptop blaring its fans on fullspeed, and shutcover pretty warm. It was not in sleep mode? - htop showed 99% CPU for "git add . --ignore-errors" Then I noticed the datetime: last night when I was using Cline. Turns out the "snapshots" - of readonly work?! - kept failing all night.

On shit, what did I say?

I’ve been promoting the role of early Black Americans paving the the road to birthright citizenship for more than 20 years; today it mattered more than most. It’s been an honor to support the teams at the ACLU and the LDF Fund along with their clients in this work. hub.jhu.edu/2026/06/30/s...

Muhahaha... www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/ai-... I used #1 and my kid immediately understood what "bubble" is to "AI talk" his friends talk about.

Come on Ed, just pop the bubble already with a pellet-gun. I need some memory for the kid's gaming PC. Thanks! Ps, unrolled to here: tbsky.app/profile/edzi...

BlueSky's "Discovery" tab doing its thing.

LMAOOO, check out President Obama doing the intro on Larry David's new show, perfect timing and delivery! trump could never! The show is hilarious, btw. It's basically Curb Your American History.

I first read this as "Un-Registered Ai..." and just realized, that's the solution: Make Ai pay for registration into a national system. - Those registered are allowed to scrape training data. Un-registered Ai would be deemed illegal. Registration fees would be proportional from marker cap -> UBI.

(woody from toy story voice) YOU!!! ARE!!! A!!! TEXT EDITOR!!!!!!

Coming from the most corrupt Administration in American history, this is an honor I'll treasure forever.

Anyone else have immutable custom built Windows-IoT QEMU images they spin up whenever they launch a Windows-only app? Tip: use Windows-IoT when an app lets you - it has a Kiosk-fullscreen mode.

47 of the 48 World Cup countries have universal health care... ... one country just can't figure it out.

Some say the Aussies are upside down. I say they are downside up.

The shorts on that channel are briefs.

Did you know the BBC cut off public programming to anyone outside the UK? I first noticed BBC World News podcast die earlier and finally went looking. A quick VPN session later and, behold, BBC's walled-off garden limiting access called BBC Sounds. You get a 404 outside of UK.

I wonder how long until Cline is taken from us local inference users...

If you're a coder using Ai... If you're an Ai investor... If you've planned on Ai for your workforce... If you just want to know WTF is going on with all this insanely and want a reality check, then watch this 30m video.

Once all the "goodwill" of open source model authors dry up, we won't have any more models!! We did not need to give $500,000,000,000 to bigtech for Ai. That was an investment into Big Surveillance and girl-school bombings. Instead, we need to fund open data access to hardware.

Continue.dev acquired by Cursor acquired by SpaceX Well, that sucks. What are people replacing Continue with now? I very much enjoyed its low-level down-in-the-trenches integration versus Cline's workflows.

Every time you see or hear about America 250, you need to really look hard to see if it's "America 250" (good) or "Freedom 250" (grifting/theft).

Silvia studied puns, literalism, and pedantic anti-humor. So... Basically the three pillars of every dad's personality. Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day 🖤

EXCLUSIVE: Voyager 1 will be 1 light-day away from Earth on November 18, 2026! The spacecraft is already the most distant human-made object in space, and in less than five months it will cross that incredible threshold!! www.iflscience.com/its-official... 🔭🧪

I've been using Continue.dev for a while now. It keeps you close to the code, grounded in what the code is and what it's doing. Tinkering with Cline has trashed that workflow and I struggle to "let go" of the code logic. Now I understand Cline's scope: just let it think / let it do the job. 1/2

About 1/1,500 of the way to the nearest (other) star, and it's been going for about 50 years. Space. It's very big.
