Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step. 1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish. 2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

ICE is not only chasing down every random brown person in Chicago, they have a cameraman following them to film this for social media. Cruelty and inhumanity as content.

1. He was making fun of the cancel culture around Charlie Kirk 2. It's absolutely true that you can go outside your country and have more freedom to comment on the politics of your country I don't know why I visit this hellsite, it's worse than X

Complaining about cancel culture in Riyadh is one of the best examples I've seen of how "free speech culture" rots the brain.

Donate Less

We have a new donation page. But before you go there, I would like to impress upon you this idea: We would vastly prefer you donate $10/mo for one year ($120 total) than $200 in one lump sum. That's c...

So at the start of Half-Life: Blue Shift there's this really cool train crash. I had a discussion about this in a gamedev server where we were trying to determine how this was done. There's nothing in the game files to suggest it was an animated model, so I decompiled the map to check it out and...

I remember the first time I read this panel at age 19. I had enormous cognitive dissonance because I, naively, empathized with Rorschach but I had an instinct to align myself with the "winner" in a comic. My instinct won out and I began to subscribe to Ozy's position.

📢 We're thrilled to announce GStreamer 1.26 ... a new major stable feature release! Check out gstreamer.freedesktop.org/releases/1.26/ for details of all the exciting new features and improvements! Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this release!

Reading the ffmpeg mailing list is indistinguishable from reading Phoronix comments when the topic is GStreamer.

An underrated discussion topic is the mistakes companies make when over-hiring because they raised a lot of (too much?) money. 1. Hiring is difficult, growing is even harder 2. Building a good team structure is hard, it's near-impossible if you grow too quickly

i am looking for work. preferably between india and canada/usa, preferably in open source, preferably leading teams. but i'm good at a few other things, too. :) www.deobald.ca/essays/2025-... retweets appreciated! (yeah. let's still just call them tweets.)

I have news…that place where you got food poisoning is probably not where you got the food poisoning. Time between exposure and symptoms: Campylobacter: 2-6 days E. coli: 2-5 days Salmonella: 6 hrs-6 days Norovirus: 12-48 hrs Shigella: 1-3 days Staph aureus: fast Listeria: 9-48 hrs

Introducing a thought I have: Plastic Water Bottles. A “Plastic Water Bottle” is what I call any problem that we see as super evil despite the fact that there is an extremely similar bigger problem (plastic soda bottles) that we never think about only because we’re simply more used to it.
