Google illegally fells 400 000 (250k+150k) trees in Finland, completely eradicating the land, to build more AI data centers. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I actually get ANGRY over the fact that I may never get to play another Mass Effect game again.

The closing of BioWare hits hard. And I realized there’s only one of their released games I haven’t played – and I got at least 40 hours playtime in each of the others.

My USP is that it would take approximately 4,8 billion tokens to replace me.

Thanks Apple - I hate the IPhone Duo. A very impressive fest for sure, but so far from what I actually want for a phone.

What is even the best wallpaper? I've used one of a mountain with calm colors for years, but at the same time, I really liked the plain blue-green background that OS/2 had. I'm beginning to think that the best one is just a plain color around #303A46

Me and phone makers seem to disagree on what’s important for a phone. They make phones with larger screens, folded screens, with unclear purpose. And I just want a smaller phone with smaller screen.

Wow, Trakt just removed the API client id's for everyone who isn't a paying subscriber. Without notice or heads-up. Insane asshat move that made me spend an hour on even finding this was the issue with my app.

Finally watched the new Masters of the Universe movie, and maybe it’s part nostalgia but I thought it was really good? Better than many recent Marvel movies.

On Sunday my personal Photoshop subscription expires. For a loyal customer since 1.0, it’s a huge change for my workflow. But I can’t help but feel they survive on betting I won’t unsubscribe, and reskinning products from companies they buy. I’m currently trying out Affinity, and not hating it.

TV Time shutting down is the worst thing that happened in my life. What do I do now? WHAT DO I DO NOW

Will Bricks & Minifigs even exist in a year from now? I’m assuming almost nobody is a customer of them anymore and franchises doing their best to get out of contracts.

AI-generated websites and apps are the new Wordpress theme. Same colors, same layout, same generic blandness that makes whatever product very unengaging.

The Bricks and Minifigs drama is surreal. The most upsetting documentary I’ve seen in a long time. The corporation, the store, and now even the Utah police, all need to be investigated at a higher court. How can anyone let them get away with this?

I GET LOGGED OUT. BUT I LOG IN AGAIN

There’s some pretty sweet moves in the first Karate Kid movie actually.

IOS 26.4 adds AI chatbots to CarPlay, but we STILL DONT HAVE A LIGHT MODE TOGGLE, GROK HELP ME

I don't know about the sales, but EA not being able to agree on terms with FIFA must've been a great relief for them in hindsight.

Great, another Slack update that makes everything worse.

Let's see if Canada repeatably cheats in today's Curling too. :)

Congratulations to ARC Raiders for winning the #DICEAwards for Online Game of the Year!

Being forced to use Mac OS in Swedish just to get Apple Intelligence is so not worth it. FU new Siri, I'm going back to old Siri which worked just fine for my needs. #apple #macos

Empty coffee cups in movies and shows makes me so angrrrrrrrrrrrrrryyyy Yyyy !!

7 episodes into The Pitt, season 1. Not sure what I’m watching. An ER where all doctors wear a lot of jewelry and hoodies and a train of very short and shallow stories?

@chrisradsby.bsky.social Yo, is the Twitch stream coming back? :)

LG asked me to write about the TV I bought, so I wrote that it's excellent but some features force me use an app that force me to grant it access to my full wifi and bluetooth to track what devices I have. That, plus Microsoft Copilot, lost 2 stars to me. The review was moderated and removed.

ChatGPT and other AI don’t care if I use English or Swedish or a mix. Meanwhile, I can only have Siri and Apple Intelligence if my OS is set to Swedish if I live in Sweden. English is not an option. So my choice is to not have Apple Intelligence at all, OR a shitty translation to Swedish of my OS’s.

Achievement unlocked: have a game you worked on mentioned in a South Park episode. 😄

E-sport in THE FINALS Grand Major 2025 on Dreamhack and I’m stoked to watch the games and see who’s gonna reach the finals. GG! www.twitch.tv/thefinals

I just read that @gameinformer.com is coming back to print and that makes me so happy. A cover story was always regarded an honor, and I remember seeing Battlefield 3 – a game I myself worked on – made me almost more excited than the actual release. Still keep the issue plastic wrapped. :)

I miss having a lot of fun websites to hang out on. Everything is just apps now and it feels like I barely need a browser anymore. Which makes it even more weird to read that Facebook is now dropping apps in favor of browser based services instead.

Oh great, an update to YouTube app on Apple TV. My immediate thought is that the app is gonna get even worse, and yep, the app got even worse.

Just noticed that Chrome, Firefox, Edge, all have no issues in auto-completing an IDN URL. But Safari fails on all platforms, unless you use the xn-- alternative.

Facebook have in their infinite wisdom decided to sunset the Messenger app. Like I'm gonna sit on Facebook.com just to chat with people, or use their buggy and unreliable Messenger.com website. Oh well, their loss.

The Sims 4 branding from 2019 now fits perfectly with 2025 glass none-flat design and feels very modern. And the 2025 redesign feels old. :)

Hands up: who’s gonna go around with their phone in a shoulder strap?

The Iphone Air only exists to test one of the parts for the foldable Iphone that’s coming next year. :)

Starting my Monday with searching for how to remove the UK keyboard that suddenly popped up in Windows and refuses to go away, how many times I switch back to Swedish. There's honestly no OS that is worse for creativity and mental health than Windows.

Just wishlisted Recur by @kaleidoscube.bsky.social on Steam, even though it’s the only platform I don’t play games on lol. Game looks awesome!

The new open/close app animation on iOS 26 is their greatest UI achievement in many years.

Steam starting to require Mac OS 12+ because they bundle a Google Chrome that require 12+ annoys me. It annoys me when playing my game is dependent on a second software that is dependent on a third software. #appfairness

My nostalgia over old Internet is closing in on my nostalgia over 80’s videogame consoles.

2 – 0 Swe vs Eng! #weuro2025

Compared to Twitter; it was surprisingly easy to forget about Reddit once third-party apps stopped working. Reddit used to be a large part of my social media usage, but now I barely visit once a month and then only for specific threads.

All these AI companies with clever names will be lost in time

We’ve now had Apple CarPlay for 10 years, and there’s still not an option for Light Mode. Maps is unreadable in daylight on automatic dark mode. How have this not been picked up by @macrumors.bsky.social or @gruber.foo or any other Apple blogger? :)

It’s been almost three years since I put away my debit card, and maybe 15 since I last saw/used cash. Not every country is like Sweden, yet, but if you’re in the wallet industry I’d start thinking about an exit.

This tv bench is so deep it’s apparently bottomless. I had forgotten about half of these!

It's not the movie sequel we wanted, but it's the one we deserve: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ewKu...

Looks like pretty much everything in the Apple Keynote was leaked beforehand. Long gone are the days when it was a tight ship. Feeling bad for all the people who worked hard on the things presented.
