my moral standards prevent me from using the website with a built-in CSAM generator owned by one of the world's richest nazis, regardless of the "larger reach" I could obtain, and I encourage that mindset for everyone

Last night I thought I rebooted my home server, but it failed to come back up. I later found out I sent the wrong command to power it off. It was frustrating since physical access was inconvenient, and I would’ve woken someone up that night had I tried.

I still really like this icon. It's probably the best icon commission I've received.

The problem with Discord’s recent attempt at age verification is that it’s not completely their fault. Unlike NFTs and AI, this is the result of regulatory pressure. Discord is unlikely to back down from this.

These games are worth $0.

How long until Anthropic changes or removes the magic refusal string? I’m kind of wary of depending on it to reliably block Claude forever.

Where in the world did Fluxer come from? I didn't hear about it until a few days ago.

If you're wondering what the new message in macOS 26.4 for Intel-based apps looks like.

macOS 26.4 apparently contains a dialog for applications that won't work after the removal of Rosetta 2. But Apple has also said that Rosetta 2 will stay for "older games". So how are they determining what are old games and what isn't? #apple #macos

Just a little reminder that I have another account at @gay.ihaveahax.net for more explicit stuff, for those interested

Someone needs to hack the Switch 2 just so we can get the music from Mario Kart World.

There is no defensible reason to continue using Twitter, full stop. Get the fuck off that platform.

I love this sketch icon I got from @roxxiekitsune.bsky.social it's so good

There's been a few claims of Switch 2 hacks and custom firmware lately. Most recent is an alleged "nand explorer", which is currently impossible. The UFS storage is encrypted, so direct access won't work without the keys, and there is still no software exploits to access the storage or get the keys.

Even just a social media page would be better, at least these can be searched for and accessed easily. Discord requires an account and joining a "server".

Anyway, this is your regular reminder that Discord is not a place to store information. Please put information on real websites. Even before the IPO filing, this was a very bad idea to do. Discord is for live chat, and should only be used as such.

I remember there used to be a Windows DVD player that would come on certain DVD movie releases. I'm pretty sure it had a logo with an "i" in a spotlight. Was this ever a thing? This is so hard to find online for some reason.

It's times like these I'm glad I got a home server that I can offload NixOS system builds to. I made a change that requires building the kernel (a patch to enable ntsync). It also has to build the Valve kernel separately for Steam Deck.

Flatpaks can use flatpak-spawn to execute commands on the host, provided they have permission to do so. Is there a way you can do this when directly using bubblewrap? #nix #NixOS

The Switch 19.0.2 update you might see online is only for units released in China. Unlike all other regions, Chinese Switch units are region-locked and have their own firmware. The online services for them will shut down later this year. #NintendoSwitch www.nintendolife.com/news/2024/11...

It's hard to believe that macOS/iOS 26 was revealed half a year ago. Only another half a year to go until we see what will be done to Liquid Glass in 27.

Bluesky is not a safe space for trans people. Trans people regularly get suspended while transphobic people are protected, labels get removed, moderation lists get hidden. It's not an accident that it keeps happening.

Bluesky is a centralized social network. Don't let the owners confuse you, they built a *social network* where 99% of its users are on the default servers, and even those using their own PDS are still effectively subject to its moderation.

“Decentralized” my ass.

I think this year is when I need to realize that friendships can, more or less, just end, and they don't have to keep going. People who I would regularly talk with who just don't respond much, or at all, anymore.

If you're thinking "well I should tell people who took the survey to change their password just to be cautious", please don't. This suggests that the claim this "stole your account" had any legitimacy. It does not. No action is required at all. To suggest otherwise would be to spread misinformation.

We have less than 48 hours left and we need 41 more $2 pledges to make the Bandwidth plush real by partnering with Makeship! If the goal isn't reached, you'll be refunded. If we succeed, you'll be charged the remaining $28 to get your plush. Pledge now! www.makeship.com/petitions/ba...

I only just found out Guilded shut down. Seeing Discord's IPO reminded me to go check out how it was doing. Turns out not very well. It was a chat application very similar to Discord that Roblox had acquired.

I wish I had the time or energy to host and moderate a forum.

If you have a discord for documentation or research, whether for software or whatever, please please put some effort into backing up info somewhere else. So many entire communities efforts will just implode if something happens to discord

We're partnering with Makeship to bring you a plush of Bandwidth, our lovable racoon mascot! He will cost $30, and we need 200 pledges of $2 to start making him! We have 10 days to reach our goal until the petition ends, so help him escape into the real world and support now! preten.do/makeship

I caught someone posting an AI-generated project to GBAtemp. It almost certainly copied code from an existing project (of which there was only one in the wild), but the alleged creator claimed to have made it themselves "with help from AI".

I was given a digital photo frame with item number MU38015. Upon seeing it one of my first thoughts was "can I hack this?".

Be sure to leave a glass of milk and Swiss rolls out for the Judge tonight.

Remember that time Adobe got bullied off Bluesky eight months ago?

Drop Fortnite

Don’t let CEOs quibble over how much they’re pushing for AI. Regurgitative AI is a plagiaristic poison, to use any amount of it is to use it too much. They want the concessions, because concessions can creep. Zero tolerance is the only way to say no to it.

The numbers aren't even fucking real; you are intentionally being played by botnets that Twitter itself maintains for false engagement. This has been verified multiple times. It's a fake social media site run by nazis that you are giving your artwork, fandom and writing to support. Cut the cord.

What the fuck?

Personally, It's telling that any actual professional I know that has been forced to integrate AI into their game dev process came out the other end saying it's made more work for themselves, was painful to work with, made crap, and was simultaneously told the tool was good and they were at fault.

Hey everyone going WELL TIME TO PLAY MORE FORTNITE TO HUNT DOWN PEOPLE WEARING HARRY POTTER STUFF No. Stop playing Fortnite. They're partnering with Rowling and Harry Potter in 2025, with full knowledge of what that decision means. Stop supporting them. Stop playing the game.

Bluesky being an echo chamber is its best feature.
