As I was watching Summer Games Fest, I found myself thinking about the fact that 5 years ago, Ubisoft had so many things going on that they had their own separate conference event. This year, the only thing they've had to show is a trailer for a remaster that was already announced.

I brace for enshittification as I saw Valve announce a brand new Steam homepage, and they actually just added a bunch of great UX improvements and user-focused features people have asked for. I wish the rest of the tech industry would take some notes from Valve.

Web browsers drive me crazy, they all suck and the only one that didn't suck was abandoned

I love when international websites insist on a mandatory region/province selector in their shipping info, even though that value is irrelevant for the Norwegian postal system. Then they don't update it for 7 years, so I literally can't select my region since it's not on there.

I regret buying the David Pogue Apple book; it was good in the beginning, up to the first iPhone, but as soon as he ran out of other Apple history books to rip off, it devolved into a scatterbrained collection of bullet points and idiotic takes.

Finally took the plunge of switching from Windows 11 to Linux on my gaming PC and it genuinely feels like I've removed a tumor

After going increasingly crazy about all my RAM just disappearing to nowhere I have done a deep purge of every electron app on my system (Except 1Password 😩) and replaced them with PWAs, suddenly I have 7GB more ram. I wish the RAM crisis would lead to a revolt against all this electron slop

US-Israeli strikes destroy synagogue in Tehran, prompting outrage amid reports of 15 killed across Iran overnight.

I wonder how many tokens have been lost to seemingly every single person with a claude subscription vibe coding a claude token usage tracker

Hot take: Artemis has no scientific value it's just the US government doing nationalist showboating like it's 1970s again at the cost of NASA being able to afford to do anything useful

objectively the funniest critique an american could level at another country

After a week in Amsterdam and dealing with its trams I’ve gained a renewed appreciation for the Bergen Light Rail and its short dwell times, total signal priority, and smooth acceleration

eBPF-powered replication engine for Linux filesystems (XFS, Btrfs, F2FS, Ext4) It captures filesystem events in the kernel and replays them asynchronously on a target directory, providing near real-time mirroring with robust consistency guarantees.

For a city that is glazed so much by urbanists, Amsterdam can be infuriating to exist in if you’re not a cyclist

The Apple Studio Display is a sad joke, €1700 for a 12 year old LCD panel with a 60hz refresh rate and a non-adjustable stand. If you buy this thing you are actually being scammed www.apple.com/newsroom/202...

Significant road safety win in Norway! 30 km/h is now the default for built up areas 🚴‍♂️🚶‍♂️ Norway's public roads administration have just turned the way speed limits are set in built up areas on it's head. From now on, traffic engineers now have to meet clear criteria to use any higher speed limit.

Attacks leave dead vs killed

I suggest all americans who think living under an evil regime justifies being killed even when you're innocent immediately take action upon themselves that is in accordance with their beliefs

I see all these people raving about the amazing apps that an LLM agent built for them in "only 10 hours and $1000 in tokens" and the functionality is usually equivalent to a 5 line shell script

The NYT style guide

Cool hey did anything happen *before* 1979 between the United States and Iran

This law is insane, practically outlawing Linux www.tomshardware.com/software/ope...

Okay so let me get this straight, a oligarch country that elected a suspected pedophile & known rapist over his Christian values, and an illegally nuclear genocidal apartheid nation that keeps electing war criminals to do war crimes, those are the good guys because they bombed a primary girls school

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Protect this kid at all costs

The trial in a Knight of the Seven Kingdoms might be the best fight I've ever seen on television We are so back

What a waste, Bluepoint did an amazing job with their remakes, Sony could have sent them off to do a Bloodborne remaster and basically printed money, instead all that talent is now just gone with the wind.

I take psychic damage every minute of my workday that I have to spend interacting with AWS.

"Ingen måte å unngå dette på" sier by som jevnlig bygger ny motorvei inn til sentrum og stopper utvidelsen av bybanen.

Airport security decided they needed to put my bag through the scanner 3 times over, it’s going to be one of those days

Offisielt ferdig med kongefamilien, etter at Harald dør kan vi kvitte oss med hele driten.

Every time I have errands in more than 2 places in a day I find myself doing a Seven Bridges of Königsberg type puzzle in my head to save probably 2 minutes of time

"'Without us you'd be speaking german right now" Trump says while holding a speech in the German speaking part of Switzerland

In honor of MLK day, I present to you a timely quote that the YTs never seem to remember… curious

Gavin Newsom is a transphobic Zionist piece of shit and him being against Trump doesn’t mean you need to stan him.

There's a new eBPF sandbox by David Ventura to learn BPF development with exercises and detailed explanations: ebpf.party. Looks great for a first quick introduction!

Great software if you want a lean-back console experience with your PC: can create a virtual display with your TV’s native resolution + HDR and stream over ethernet. Add Steam Big Picture mode and it’s like you have a Steam Console github.com/ClassicOldSo...

Samferdselsminister Jon-Ivar Nygård mener at det ikke er mye poeng i å investere i langdistansetog i Norge, siden han forventer at fly på ett eller annet magisk vis blir utslippsfrie om 15 år. Idiot. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/n...

At this point, I can’t understand why any international traveller would visit the US Even if you think you’re not at risk, you could get caught in the crossfire of ICE gunning people down in residential streets or have masked gunmen storm your restaurant and haul kitchen staff away as you eat lunch

Turns out it is actually possible for a politician to do things, if they want to

Saying the quiet part out loud this time

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

Anyone attempting to justify this imperialist invasion is an instant block for me

The US has launched an unprovoked and illegal attack on Venezuela. This is a brazen attempt to secure control over Venezuelan natural resources. It is an act of war that puts the lives of millions of people at risk, and should be condemned by anyone who believes in sovereignty & international law.

love updating my keyboard firmware wiping out all my key assignments and settings, thanks Keychron, very cool
