The safest form of computing is still abstinence

I realized why the vibecoder software can be "like a home cooked meal" bothers me so much bradfrost.com/links/post/a... IT'S THE STEAMED HAMS SKETCH Someone says they're making you a home cooked meal and then they plop a Krusty Burger on your plate and call it a family recipe they made themselves

An article on Aftermath about how depressing AI slop has made emulation and decompilation projects, and crushed existing communities aftermath.site/ai-slop-hobb... And hey, it links to my and glyphs blogposts

I have spent a lot of my career trying to reduce barriers to participation But removing barriers to participation and removing participation itself are, to me, two different things

Please read this personal retelling of the horrifying and traumatic events of the fascist raid on Casa Kua this weekend, and how it is part of an ongoing escalation of repression against trans people by the neo-Nazi police forces of Germany

Germany is quickly catching up to the US and UK in their fascist crackdowns of trans people. This Sunday, reports say police officers violently stormed and searched an important German transfem community space under allegations of providing prescriptions to third parties without authorization.

Last I'll post about this, but Elon Musk disagrees with me. This means I am onto something, and I feel more valid in my opinion than ever.

Well since I messed up posting the link yesterday, here it is again (oops) spritely.institute/news/end-to-...

Huge news! End-to-end-encrypted relays (via the Noise protocol) comes to Spritely Goblins and OCapN! spritely.institute/news/end-to-... Relays are federated (there is no "official relay", you can easily run your own) but also oblivious, and merely manage routing encrypted messages. A big milestone!

End-to-end encrypted relays for OCapN spritely.institute/news/end-to-... Federated, end-to-end encrypted relaying comes to Spritely Goblins and the OCapN protocol! Relays are federated (like email or ActivityPub) but don't know anything about the contents of communication between users!

A test of my friend Ursula Kurdali's awesome Stop Motion addon for Blender, where Suzanne has a monsterous turn! github.com/bkurdali/Sto... Really fun plugin! Tons of flexibility with it, you can change topology completely, sculpt extreme deformations, etc. No need to rig, etc.

BREAKING: Top executives at Anthropic, OpenAI and other AI companies are privately gaming out scenarios for a public and political revolt after a catastrophic AI event, and they assume one in 2027, per Axios

Reminder

*stepping outside* what nice summer weather

Technically Darkseed II but I think about this line constantly:

I'm super excited to announce my favorite VR game in the world, SUPERHYPERCUBE, has been ported to the Playstation®VR2, by… ~me, actually~ (with support from the original developers)! It is currently half off if you owned the PS VR1 version. If anyone you know has a PS VR2, please let them know!

I'd really like for this to be less of a politics account so it would be nice if politics would stop kicking me in the head. Thanks

It's funny how that last post of mine sounds totally deranged unless you know that I'm just literally describing a thing that happened. Donald Trump called a Democratic Senate candidate the t-slur on his Mastodon instance. Two days later that candidate released an ad saying that trans women are men.

I really need to stress to Democrats that this does not work. Donald Trump is not going to stop calling you a tranny just because you released an ad saying you hate trannies too

Donald Trump posted on Truth Social calling Dr Annie Andrews a transphobic slur this week, and her response is to ensure everyone knows she hates trans people too. Christ, the Democrats are fucking pathetic.

Seriously. What a fucking coward.

Annie Andrews in 2022: "This does nothing to protect or support women or children in SC. I will always support trans youth" Annie Andrews in 2025: It's wrong to "throw this population under the bus to score political points." Annie Andrews today:

I hear you—and I apologize. That mushroom was one of the poisonous ones, you’re right. That’s not just useful feedback—it’s you setting a boundary.
