Happy Halloweek everybody

I just want everyone who thinks the world rallied to halt and reverse ozone depletion to please read the Wikipedia article. It did not in any way happen like that. It was a series of battles and politics just like anything else. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone_d...

Outta my sight, scrub

*taps sign*

If you want more background on how it's a cult, I recommend the latest episode of @dreamingagainstthemachine.com from @adambecker.bsky.social www.dreamingagainstthemachine.com/episode-28-t... (Reposting with the right tag for the right Adam!)

I usually check out as many games as possible in Next Fest, but the tidal wave of AI trash has beaten me Non-AI indie devs please post your games below and I'll check em out instead Also @steampowered.com PLEASE add an option to filter out AI games in searches. It's killing discoverability #gaming

We've recently learned that HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster, and Hachette are all using AI on the sly. Contracts are the way to at least give them pause. And don't publish with someone who won't sign an anti-AI contract: you won't like the results.

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.

Heads up anyone running any publicly-accessible PHP web application, including web interfaces for consumer devices.

This means that the increased price of RAM and consumer electronics was a result of an artificial "supply chain crisis" created by Jensen Huang pushing NVIDIA's customers to take early delivery of GPUs. Jensen Huang is responsible for making life worse for everyone.

It's no longer pro-AI by the way. We're calling them anti-humans.

“The internet is a store but it used to be a library” hits me like a slug to the chest

This is superb. Especially the implication that many people will simply not understand the message unless it's presented with characters from children's educational television.

The fact that we have to be afraid to market our games because of AI theft is a condemnation of every executive who has pushed for this cancer in our industry and art form. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

In early 2025, I assumed the Trump regime would delete the Department of Justice’s press releases and other statements related to more than 1,000 Jan. 6 cases. So I downloaded them. We’ve now made them available to the public with a search tool. They can’t erase history. jan6memoryproject.org

if you have NVIDIA GeForce and recently updated the app, please go to the settings and turn off "Allow AI Agents to control the NVIDIA App". this invasive setting is turned on by default

I think we can all safely ignore* the so-called flying car as just more flim-flam from a guy with a legendary record of such things. However this is a very interesting write-up of the technologies involved to explain why it's bullshit. *Apart from harms and crimes committed in the process, natch

Library in Washington state has commissioned paintings of authors and their books for exhibition and a fund raiser. Including everyone’s favorite Secunit. www.waitsburgtimes.com/story/2026/1...

Because the "select your server" step required by Mastodon signup was simply too difficult for people. Truly, how can the human mind cope with such uncertainty?

Any Halloween movie from before 9/11 when you could see children trick-or-treating on cold, wet nights full of fall foliage instead of letting them trudge through some bullshit "trunk or treat" in a parking lot while it's 90 degrees outside and cops in layers of tactical gear stand watch.

I really don't think folks who weren't there grasp just how much these generations really were shamed or even prosecuted for stuff that giant companies do all the time now like ffs, websites used to shame people for 𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 images without paying the site that hosted it for their bandwidth!

While we're at it, might as well share Tom Baker's perennial masterpiece.

Disappointing but not surprising. Glad to see they aren't giving up.

Vibe coded programs are extremely dangerous. You have no idea wtf the code is made to do, and neither does the person distributing it. Like sure, it could infect your PC or create backdoors, but also memory leaks, render files unusable, brick it so you can't boot, anything Do not install them

😎‼️🤓 incredibly cool website 🕸️🔗🏄 The Crawler Zoo 👉 crawlerzoo.com “A live menagerie of the automata that visit this website. Every creature is drawn from its own user-agent string. No bots were harmed. Several were mildly inconvenienced.”

I hope Ybor City is never remade so much that I don't instantly know exactly where a photo of it was taken, however random. (This is just West of The Castle, on the same block. Spookeasy Lounge/The Catacombs is around the corner in the background--Vertigo, first time I went.)

Hell yeah.

IDK who's got the real data, but I will say that I'm surprised anyone assumed the bot activity would be centered on a data center instead of distributed across botnets on stolen compute just about everywhere. No idea why folks would think they'd give that up for a single point of failure.

there's an off-the-books slack channel started by centers for medicare and medicaid for tech companies to exchange ideas on making money off of AI tools that access all of your medical records. insane story i missed from last week.

Unity literally announced the "AI makes a game for you" thing as an April fool's joke in 2012 - dunking on the creative bankruptcy of the whole concept - before announcing it with a straight face just the other day.

Huh. This seems to be an extremely good, broad study too?

“Someone with a 1-hr car commute needs to earn 40% more to be as happy as someone with a short walk to work. On the other hand, if someone shifts from a long commute to a walk, their happiness increases as much as if they’d fallen in love.” #CityMakingMath 50 reasons for more walkable streets.
