imagine this is how we find out UFOs are real

meanwhile in Germany: a company offers AI services via fax simple-fax.de/fax-ki

Achievement unlocked: My Dutch colleague just said "that's too direct for me".

The best out of context post on this platform.

“Humans across multiple languages spontaneously associate the nonwords kiki & bouba with spiky & round shapes, respectively...We tested the bouba-kiki effect in baby chickens. Similar to humans, they spontaneously chose a spiky shape when hearing a kiki sound & a round shape when hearing a bouba.”😲🧪

Beginning to think my buddy's theory of political carcinization (all states naturally develop into 90s Russia) to have serious merit

The World Factbook, also known as the CIA World Factbook, was a reference resource produced by the United States' Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) with almanac-style information about the countries of the world. CC @gone-things.bsky.social

I like the idea of calling American music a-pop, a-rock, etc, and American shows a-drama.

Slightly off topic about diff utilities. Apparently `diff3` is the one of two remaining GNU tools used in the FreeBSD codebase. The other one is `dialog`.

Let's create a narcissistic CEO bingo card for when the AI bubble will have been collapsing: 1. Attributes the failure on the society being mean to him 2. Blames partners 3. Denies the reality: bubble burst doesn't exist.

Kurwa😅

So I was right! E minor (Dorian scale). The only difference is that Kaval Sviri additionally utilises the minor second.

Most of the time the Americans are wrong with their negative opinions, cause they can't be fucked to learn anything about any other country. You need to hate my land *correctly*

Ultimate betrayal. #mozilla #firefox

Am I tripping or has YouTube started using some new AI compression (voicecloning+STT+TTS) recently? Many YouTubers started to sound like AI (some compression-like artifacts).

False dichotomy

Next time somebody says game developer isn't a real profession or etc, remind them that about every 200th* person ON THE WHOLE PLANET is probably playing one right now *only accounting for Steam games ofc

But what were you doing 8 years ago?

Fascinating thread

Very inspiring speech on the technical sovereignty in the post-american world. It starts on a provoking tone, but at around a 30min mark it gets into the weeds. youtu.be/3C1Gnxhfok0?...

accidentally introduced a bug to the game where all the text got replaced with "you"

#FreeBSD people, how do you make your #KDE Plasma6 (#Wayland) close windows with Alt+F4 without switching to tty4?

Is it a good idea for new developers to learn ‘C’ language in 2026?

Every time a vendor makes us a presentation of the new version with a token AI functionality, they try looking professional saying "Nano Banana", whilst silently dying inside. Priceless. Whoever has made the decision to call the model this way, I applaud you.

Damn I wish my phone was able to do OS filesystem snapshots like ZFS does.

Any folk musicians here. Do I understand correctly that the Bulgarian folk song Kaval Sviri, and the famous chant from the Halo game are in the same key? I have some wild goosebumps imagining a choir mixing those two.

Angular lerping done wrong in production

Finally good news in 2025. The oldest bar joke has been finally interpreted. Sumerian bar joke goes like this: "A dog entered into a tavern and said, 'I cannot see anything. I shall open this', or 'this one'".

Feeling very feely these days. I am about to turn 40. So I indulge myself with some yapping. I have now realised that the local peak of our civilization has ended with the airplane crashing into the twin towers. Everything went downhill from that moment. At least from my millennial perspective.

Here's a brain twister. Hypothetical scenario: Divorced father fails to pay child support for years. Then he dies. The child is grown-up now, so he inherits the father's estate and debts. Will the government require the child to pay out the child support on himself (directly or inderectly)?

The only reason I am excited about the new year is that I am about to change my notebook inserts from Yamamoto Ro-Biki B7 to Lochby pocket size. This year sucked. Next.

Bringing the disruption to Brussels: The European Commission encourages its managers to draft policy-making documents with AI, including "explaining/summarising legislative initiatives". According to a newly released Commission document, this will "boost your team's productivity". 🫢

Our little one has just invented a word: "misundersheard".

It is BONKERS how good @mrmotarius.bsky.social Blender shaders are within the prepared projects. It’s drag and drop, size check, sometimes gamma correction, and you are ready to go 🤖🫴✨🥟 #indiedev #2dartist #gamedev #art #2dart

This Pluribus ad on a fridge caused a schizophrenic woman named Carol to be hospitalized.

Jebeš Ej Aj, slaveni zmislili jezíke a zgovaranje istih.

That could be cool if some ancient setting game could have interslavic dub. Might give the ancient language atmosphere and also solve multiple localisation issue. (Who am I lying to, it will flop 😭)

Had a really weird dream tonight. A CSV-like data format, but the separator is two or more white spaces, so you don't need to quote the text data with single spaces.

How do you name your #zfs pools?

I've put most of my stuff up for sale over at itch, check it out! There's Blender processes, tilesets and... more tilesets? :D itch.io/s/141960/com... itch.io/s/132954/mrm... itch.io/s/144606/tri...

"I will just make a few custom 32x32 icons for my Godot project" oops, made a whole sheet. this is honestly one of my favourite things to do.

Imagine if you could run #raylib with no need for an OS, just a simple memory buffer. Now you can. 🤯 NEW backend: PLATFORM_MEMORY, full 2d/3d rendering to a memory framebuffer, only libc required! 🚀 All raylib functionality in ~200KB! Future is now! 🥳

TIL that "My" in MySQL is not a possessive adjective but the name of the daughter of the main author of the database Michael Widenius.

The whole Internet was crashed but in a safe way.
