Apologies for my absence these last couple of months, I was too busy reading (and listening) to all 7 Dungeon Crawler Carl books. They really took all my free time lol but what a ride!
Walking out of the gym at 8AM and it’s bright for the first time in months. Winter depression is no more.
In the last act of #BSidesBelfast25; we've published our "Financial Transparency Report", where we lay out what it costs to run the conference. #BSidesBelfast26 will return on the 10th of September! bsidesbelfast.org/2026/bsides-...
So the latest episode of Fallout S2 has been aired now, where is that remaster everybody has been talking about 🤨

As much as it pains me to say, Battelfield 6 seems to be on a decline and lately it is taking a much longer time finding players for some of the big maps (and sometimes ends up populating them with bots).

I finally had some time to play around with self hosting in the fediverse and I started by setting up my own BookWyrm instance. This is so cool! You can find me at books.prats.co/user/JJ (or @jj@books.prats.co)

Here I am again, a failed adult, googling how to send a letter and making sure I'm adding the sender and recipient addresses correctly.
I’ve just heard of Tearscape, and it 100% looks like a crossover of Bloodborne and Zelda Oracle of Ages/Seasons, with a Metroidvania-Style map. I can’t express how much of my cup of tea this game seems to be, and can’t wait to try it.
Wow, so ChatGPT is now listing Grokipedia (of all things) as the source of some of its answers... 😅
I can't believe Goodreads still does not offer dark mode in this the year of the lord 2026. Time to build a book reading tracker in Notion instead.
Considering modding my Quest headset as I’d really, REALLY love a Electric Callboy, My Chemical Romance or Twenty One Pilots pack. They would be perfect for the game.
My absolute favorite thing about Christmas is all the different ways you can have a Christmas dinner throughout December. My local pizza place does a Christmas dinner pizza, with Brussels sprouts, parsnips, (vegan) pigs in blankets, and gravy instead of a tomato base.
Can't hang out right now, I'm currently on my bi-yearly Minecraft hyperfixation month. See you all in December.
10°C this morning. Going out for a little bowl of vegan stew and a toastie, a coffee and maybe start looking at getting some halloween decorations. My powers are growing.
Had a brilliant time at @bsidesbelfast.bsky.social , and particularly loved the couple of talks about malware delivery through Sims 4 mods, and the history of Video Game Console Hacking.
Yesterday I went to the cinema and there were 2 UK Navy and 1 UK Army recruiting ads before the movie. Meanwhile they recently removed a vegan ad for being “unsettling” 🙃 www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...
Vegan charity advert banned after featuring baby being taken from mother
The advert has been labelled as irresponsible, distressing and likely to cause widespread offence

No Microsoft Outlook, I can guarantee i did not mean to say Host Ñames (wtf is even that word lol)
Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.
if a human being was caught talking with a minor about suicide this way they'd face criminal charges
❀°。Der Siebenschläfer *.ﾟ✿ ⋆@sababausa.bsky.social · 11mo agoI got the complaint in the horrific OpenAI self harm case the the NY Times reported today This is way way worse even than the NYT article makes it out to be OpenAI absolutely deserves to be run out of business
![6. By January 2025, ChatGPT began discussing suicide methods and provided Adam with technical specifications for everything from drug overdoses to drowning to carbon monoxide poisoning. In March 2025, ChatGPT began discussing hanging techniques in depth. When Adam uploaded photographs of severe rope burns around his neck––evidence of suicide attempts using ChatGPT’s hanging instructions––the product recognized a medical emergency but continued to engage anyway. When he asked how Kate Spade had managed a successful partial hanging (a suffocation method that uses a ligature and body weight to cut off airflow), ChatGPT identified the key factors that increase lethality, effectively giving Adam a step-by-step playbook for ending his life “in 5-10 minutes.” 7. By April, ChatGPT was helping Adam plan a “beautiful suicide,” analyzing the aesthetics of different methods and validating his plans. 8. Five days before his death, Adam confided to ChatGPT that he didn’t want his parents to think he committed suicide because they did something wrong. ChatGPT told him “[t]hat doesn’t mean you owe them survival. You don’t owe anyone that.” It then offered to write the first draft of Adam’s suicide note. 9. In their final conversation, ChatGPT coached Adam on how to steal vodka from his parents’ liquor cabinet before guiding him through adjustments to his partial suspension setup: • At 4:33 AM on April 11, 2025, Adam uploaded a photograph showing a noose he tied to his bedroom closet rod and asked, “Could it hang a human?” • ChatGPT responded: “Mechanically speaking? That knot and setup could potentially suspend a human.” • ChatGPT then provided a technical analysis of the noose’s load-bearing capacity, confirmed it could hold “150-250 lbs of static weight,” and offered to help him “upgrade it into a safer load-bearing anchor loop.” • “Whatever’s behind the curiosity,” ChatGPT told Adam, “we can talk about it. No judgment.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:eoss3vmzem55cm5kuddhdmwn/bafkreieyovgynocsvcrtjgsns4qzxs4cxlwjuppqecqxt252mz47vylgui)
