Our little one just made a joke which I found hilarious: Ten little monkeys were jumping on the bed; one made a backflip and that was very cool!

I think Lakland has perfected the MusicMan Stingray design with their 55-94 (and 55-02) design. Just like how Sadowsky has perfected the Fender Jazz Bass with their Vintage JJ.

TIL there's no unsigned 64-bit -> floating-point 64-bit conversion in x86_64, so you have to build it up from other instructions. Here's the codegen by gcc-15.2 with -O3, it uses different code paths based on the highest bit of the input:

What the hell. Just upgraded my #FreeBSD KDE 6.5 to 6.6 and suddenly crazy UI stuttering.

Okay, my fine ladies and gentlemen, here's a new Christmas season beverage for you. I call it "TWO EARLS, ONE CUP". Ingredients: - one cup of hot Earl Grey tea, - one shot of Spanish Earl single malt whiskey. Serve hot in a mug.

Do all trans people automatically get a +10 point boost to their electronic music production skills, modular synthesizer insights and trackers navigation stamina?!

What if He-Man and She-Ra are actually their pronouns: he/man and she/ra?

It's this day again youtu.be/uxTdTaNIUxo

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`.

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?

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?...

#copepilot

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

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.
