I was damn good at it, in an era when being good at something was still meaningful.

Doing this two days before TDoR is particularly vile.

Time to break out the notwithstanding claws.

The kids are alright. 🏳️‍⚧️

Your daily reminder that federal government and all our universities are all leaning heavily into this broken, corrupt technological bubble, and they're gonna take us all over the cliff.

As for why I would correct somebody's name incorrectly used (even a dead person's), it feels like basic human dignity to refer to somebody correctly and correct yourself if you're mistaken. *shrug*

Lol watch me end up on some bsky block list because I offered somebody a good faith correction of an incorrect name on their post. Oh lawd.

“The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) strongly condemns the Alberta government’s introduction of legislation invoking the notwithstanding clause to shield three laws that directly threaten the rights of trans and gender-diverse people in the province.” ccla.org/press-releas...

Why am I so against generative AI in games? Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

Wherein Tanya Fir refers to the next caller on her “callback list” as the “next motherfucker"... Not knowing that next person was a journalist. After she failed to hang up the phone properly. Just the most competent government ever. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ funding AI-generated short form content in new tweet: “Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI.”

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.

we gotta get like three VPNs deep with signal chats set to a disappearing turnaround of minutes to be able to use adult words instead of "unalive" or "grape" meanwhile our political elite are apparently just emailing each other plaintext "up for sex crimes tonight ?"

Seems to me like open parking lots would be an easier sell in the non-goth crowd, and way more impactful in terms of how much space is dedicated to them. And there are a bunch of initiatives happening to make that a legal requirement for such lots.

Hear me out: #solar installations above graveyards. Sure, the grass will probably suffer, but replace it with clover or something that gets by in harsher lighting conditions, reduce the impact of weather and sunlight on grave markers, and make it easier for goths on dates.

Puffins are cool. Reminded today of a childhood special interest I once had in puffins, instigated by Enid Blyton's books. #puffin #audhd

GenAI knowledge uselessly consuming space in my cranium like annoying commercial jingles from the '90s. May it become equally irrelevant in due course. 🤞🏻

Becoming a catgirl is evolutionarily advantageous, I will not elaborate

"Letting elected officials deny constitutional rights is the true meaning of democracy" says local right-wing talk radio grifter turned authoritarian Premier of Alberta after preemptively denying people's constitutional rights. calgaryherald.com/news/premier... #abpoli #ableg

"he said his constituency office email and phone line have been the target of “some sort of political ploy” as they have been flooded with messages." Isn't this just called "acountability"? #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli okotoksonline.com/articles/no-...

not being a part of the problem or the solution but a secret third thing

I love spite-coding. Channeling frustration into the act of creation rather than destruction or tearing people down gives me such good vibes.

I got curious about the Where's Waldo test for visual analysis type AI today so tried it out with a few models. Qwen2.5-vl @ 7B, 32B, 72B; Qwen3-vl @ 235B; Gemini 2.5 Pro Results: all wildly incorrect, all overconfident that they'd located Waldo. Even accounting for scaling issues.

I'm going to be real, games media are just not interested in the Rocky Horror PS5 launch . I couldn't get a single one to cover it. 😟 I don't want to speculate on the reasons, but we need whatever help we can get to get the word out that it's now on PS5, with a big update on Steam & Switch too. 💘🫦

I got a big kitteh #palworld

Hi @vivziepop.bsky.social I dunno if you read things posted here, but I was struggling with the surround audio mix on Hazbin s2 songs so analyzed: Summary: centre channel is muddy with too much instrumental. Compare spectrograms for More than Anything and Sera's Confession. Wildly reduces impact.

Bravo. I don't know if I've ever seen this publicly done before anywhere. Just hanging way far away watching this guy in New York set the bar for on-the-ground campaign hustle everywhere for generations. Regardless of whether or not he gets in (and for what it's worth, this Canadian hopes he does)

ladies and gentlemen...we got him

Hopefully some Canadian legal and polisci folks can weigh in on my hot take but my sense is that union action and the right to strike are items of previously settled case law as much as or even moreso than Charter matters subject to Section 33. Does the charter even apply directly to worker rights?

phew

I never thought living in a rapidly deteriorating societal death spiral would be this fucking stupid. Eat whatever

Got full ARkit blendshapes added to the VRM in Unity, and tweaked a BUNCH of stuff to make things more natural and expressive. Was a productive day ^_^

Great. And homeless people will just magically disappear. Problem solved. You fucking idiots.

PSA for the tech bros with political ambitions that they won't hear: "Disruption" for its own sake in government services is stupid and dangerous. Trying to run a government like a business: also stupid and dangerous.

House 6. Hot tuuuub. Library's good too I guess.

Katy Perry Releases New Single About Superiority Of Canadian Manufacturing

Really appreciate Apple's recent increased use of swapping if only Firefox didn't persist in trying to use ALL of it.

silly dev/devops thing of the day: static (html and javascript assets) web tool ... with a docker container.

There's a type of guy whose only contribution at work is sheer volume of outputs, whether or not they serve any purpose. AI tools ask us, "what if everyone could be that guy?" It would suck! A lot! Scaling up trash only makes more trash. Work that doesn't pave a road to a better system is waste.

youtu.be/mAcFwjNvPWE good on Jim telling it like it is. #antifa #canadian

It's actually remarkably easy to not ever use ChatGPT.

@buttplug.engineer A pal shared this with me and I thought of you <3 www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/co...

PSA: I'm not sure if it's a generational thing or what, but I've seen two people today on Twitch misunderstand what the idiom "even a broken clock is right twice a day" means: Analog clocks have 12 hours. When the clock is broken, its hands are frozen. Every 12 hours they are correct for a moment.

Hot take: I am in favour of welcoming immigrants and refugees who are not "hard working" by conservative standards. The quality of a society should not be judged based on how much each new immigrant improves our GDP but rather how we treat those who are most in need of support, no matter where from

Retro gamers and other non-FPGA-programming peeps, please tell me what you believe an FPGA is/does. I'm really curious about the difference, if any, between perception in that particular niche where their popularity has grown, and the reality.

*disregards new Tron movie* *acquires soundtrack anyway*

So @mrweebl.bsky.social just casually dropped the realest track a couple days ago. Yes, THAT Mr. Weebl. I daresay this is better than pie. Give it a watch/listen. #SynthSky #Music www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IUA...
