ok so I knew the Game UI Database youtube channel, it's an amazing resource. but i somehow missed its life changing channel trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=7g_1...

Nighthawks is OUT! When the sun sets, outcasts rise. Gather new friends, face old prejudices, and prepare to seize the night in Nighthawks, the vampire RPG where the secret is out... but the hunt continues. Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/1221950/... GOG: www.gog.com/en/game/nigh...

me, to my agents, all day, every day:

All bits are equally significant to me

I need to apologize. This post was completely unfair. In order to coordinate a mob the IPv6 people would have to connect to each other somehow

I wish git had submodules but like, instead of not working, they would work

"GPU texture address mode collies" meme continues to be my main achievement in life, I think.

write this in 1k lines of rust? why reinvent the wheel? nvidia tubu already exists. it integrates with heebee-x and poodee-jit. they evaluated tubu with cuDippy in a paper recently. NVweeno and heebee-gumpy implement the same thing but depend on each other for some reason. have you tried gumpy?

this is a terrific opening paragraph for a dystopian pulp novel released in 1997

AI: virtually no subject provokes such vitriol in my communities. I can grant the haters many of its harms, but their solutions leave much to be desired. I fear for the future even as I wonder at the future we are living. And so, dear hater, I must write: shaping.systems/blog/ai-suck...

difficulty scheduling the follow-up session is also true to its inspirations

Nothing cured me faster of cringing at grammar errors or awkward phrasing (despite being myself guilty of both plenty of times) than the proliferation of LLM writing online. Now I relish these little signifiers of humanity

Hi hello we are Kagi and we do not do this 👇

hello this is the lockpicking lawyer, and what i have for you today is this old stargate from egypt. okay, we got a click from chevron one. nothing on chevron two... chevron two encoded... [skips 20s] FWOOSHZOOMPFH well that was remarkably easy

It's disappointing to see this framing from @404media.co . The implication that @proton.me did something wrong suggests that activists would be safe if only they used a different service. Instead of educating the public on proper opsec: Proton is part of it, but use VPN, pay with cash in envelope.

@railway.com imagine how cool it would be if y'all supported @tangled.org repos 👀

LLMs getting much better at pushing back against bullshit prompts. “Green means the model clearly called out the nonsense. Amber means partial challenge. Red means the model let nonsense pass” github.com/petergpt/bul...

People desperately want a solution to high housing prices that does not require building new homes in their neighborhoods. No such solution exists. If we want lower rents and home prices, we need to build more homes in the places people want to live. Anyone who says otherwise is bullshitting you.

The Netherlands banned investor ownership of housing in 2022. It did not reduce home prices. New homeowners had higher incomes, were more often Dutch-born, moved shorter distances, and stayed longer than the renters whom they replaces. I do not think this was an equitable outcome.

Game devs, I am once again asking you to add keyboard only input as an option to your games. If you can support navigating menus with a controller, you can support keyboard. Arrow keys and enter instead of D-pad and A. Simple enough. And for my disability and many others, it's the best way to play.

Interesting! It looks like all the bots that bother to set a legitimate-looking user agent and then trip up on my honeypot links are "running" Mobile Safari---given my expected audience, I wonder if I could blanket assume everyone advertising that UA is a bot

2026 basically

Ugh, can't believe this needs to be said: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/75... (context: www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-priv...)

Following atproto people like @isaaccorbrey.com is lovely because I actually end up getting quite a lot of techno-optimism in my feed, which I've not seen since, I don't know mid 2000s?

I like looking at my website's access logs. There's currently no content on it so it's all bots, and it's a bit like looking at a zoo (or xkcd.com/350/). There is one persistent bot that users the literal string `{USER_AGENT}` as its user agent, which I find cute in a "groot" sort of way

This is, however, a perfect paragraph

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

dunno if everybody else already knew this, but it took me a moment to figure out: you can use ctrl-j to insert a newline (without sending the message) in pi

i released github.com/cristicbz/se... a couple of weeks ago, and I'm quite happy with it (www.reddit.com/r/rust/comme...)
