If you're the type of gamer that loves exploratory base builders with resource management puzzles (eg, Planet Crafter), Last Caretaker is a lot of fun. Both my daughter and myself are hooked on it. Lets Game It Out gives a pretty good demonstration of the game loop, albiet to extremes […]

[open source whinging] Ugh why is this always the way. I evaluated like 25 authentication servers for a small scale web project — I do want to support things like OIDC and Passkeys, so this is not something I really want to make myself like the old days of “use crypt() on the passwords and just […]

TIL that unopened graham crackers can still go stale. That was not a pleasant taste.

Orthodontia is a wild practice. Like, just watching all the orchestration and technicality of it... amazing to think how we've completely mastered reshaping the human jaw, and it's practically routine.

This needs to be a Last Week Tonight segment. The US poverty line is completely miscalculated. It actually should be above $140k https://www.yesigiveafig.com/p/part-1-my-life-is-a-lie

Everybody go read "Termination Shock" by Neal Stephenson, because apparently that whole scenario is actually about to start happening: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/11/21/stardust-geoengineering-janos-pasztor-regulations-00646414

"Where are all the citations in the gender dysphoria bible?" Travel to Berlin, visit Bebelplatz square, and look down through the window in the center. There's your citations.

There has been some great criticism of film adaptions at the Vegas Sphere, and of it ... you know existing. But it does exist and I can't help but wonder what would a good artistic experience in that space be like? It could be incredible. It's basically like a theatre. Any production would […]

I don't know why I thought it was a good idea to do Friday night grocery pickup the week before thanksgiving. 22 pickup spaces and they're all occupied , I had to choose "curbside pickup is full".

I'll never understand how someone can look at the name Jocelyn and think that's pronounced with an "sh" sound.

Costco's chicken bakes aren't as good since they stopped letting you get ceaser dressing to dip it in.

I have a friend who prefers to stay anonymous who gives this amazing talk in non US (but allied) countries about how long their internet will -really- function if they lose all comms with American data centers and it’s… phew. It’s a thing. Some resilient ones will last a few weeks before […]

Today I am stepping down from my role as the CEO of #mastodon. Though this has been in the works for a while, I can't say I've fully processed how I feel about it. There is a bittersweet part to it, and I think I will miss it, but it also felt necessary. It feels like a goodbye, but it isn't—I […]

I sometimes wonder how often gdb (the C debugger) gets confused for GDB (the Gender Dysphoria Bible). Cuz let me tell you, as someone who follows a lot of coders, I've done it more than a few times

On the one hand, it is so beyond time for Tim Cook to go, the man has no sense of vision, and he's really shown recently that he doesn't bleed in six colors, just red white and black. On the other hand, I remember the 90s, when Apple went through three CEOs in a decade. Hopefully the fact […]

Somehow tiktok's algorithm has learned that it should show me thoughtful long form education and sociological videos in the afternoon, and stick to funny pet videos in the evening when my son is watching me scroll. Fucking impressive, that

Boeing is paying Charm Industrial to remove 100000 tonnes of CO₂ from the atmosphere, which is a time machine that takes us back by 1 minute and 15 seconds. 🥲 https://techcrunch.com/2025/11/14/boeing-has-a-carbon-emissions-problem-startup-charm-industrial-is-cleaning-up/

Saw one of the cats was sitting in front of the hallway camera, so I made it move to give him a little startle. The look on his face 🤣

My last labwork showed I was deficient in vitamin B12, so I've been taking supplements. Which means the toilet now has a radioactive glow every time I pee 😂

Does anybody have a good ELI5 reference for explaining why generative AI is bad? Needs to touch on how and why it uses so much water and electricity, plus the plagiarism issues.
