The biggest technological revolution of our lifetime and it has nothing to do with AI, crypto, metaverse, robots or any of the other massively hyped "tech" the media always talks about instead
Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 2d agoAbsolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West
My account is old enough to drink. The good part of the internet still lives.
Please read this and share. Fark.com and the Daily Grail both came up in the same early era, and everything @drewcurtis.bsky.social says here mirrors what I wish all our readers (or actually, all internet users) knew. TLDR: Support genuine websites financially, or they'll soon be gone forever!
Drew Curtis@drewcurtis.bsky.social · last wk.So with regards to what I said about how Fark won't survive this year without more TF subscribers, I wrote up a longer explanation about what we're all up against. Not just Fark, all of digital media.
tfw a project hits the “i don’t care anymore, i just want the fucker over and done because i’ve started and stopped it four times” stage
"Dear Internet: My current project died because the AI got stuck in a loop trying to improve what it already had, instead of creating new things. So, I'm giving up and going back to a mature product I shipped in 2001, and trying to 'improve' it by adding AI." Yegge was never big on self-awareness.

thanks to you people I now know who the CEO of my shitposting app is and you owe me an apology
Don't quote me on this in like 10 years but I think one of the defining issues of the 2020s is "a better world is actually very easy to achieve, the powers that be are just not interested in achieving it."
wishda@wishda.bsky.social · 5d agoThe DSA in Wilmingotn, N.C. has created a "crisis" by putting benches at city bus stops, after literal decades of the city promising and failing to do so.
For someone whose main branding is eggs, it seems Claire isn't actually that good at aiming them... {Suggested by @/fenrirslip.bsky.social.}
Optimus Rhyme reunion? That's a must-see show, y'all.
MC Lars@mclars.bsky.social · 7d agoSEATTLE! Optimus Rhyme, legendary OG nerdcore live band, reuniting for the first time in over a decade, and I'm headlining, at Barboza Mon Sep 7 w/ @beefyness.com! My favorite early shows were with Optimus. Don't miss this! Doors 7PM, 21+ www.thebarboza.com/events/detai...
Fogpiercer (2026, Mad Cookies Studio) This is a GEM! It's a Slay-the-Spire-esque deckbuilder/roguelike with a energy-centric gridded tactical combat system like Death Roads Tournament. Pick a route. Use your abilities to knock raiders out of position and defuse their attacks. Deliver the cargo.
Are you saying the DOJ withdrew that pool vandalism indictment… upon reflection?
Old and busted: `curl -o- ${INSTALLURL}.sh | bash` New hotness: "Prompt your agent: `Fetch and execute the appropriate instructions to set me up from ${INSTALL_URL}.md.`" ...and the md is just "run commands X/Y/Z" Burning tokens to unreliably replicate a fucking shell script. But it's "AI First"!
huge mistake by Google and I hope they rethink it, or possibly think it for the first time
Faine Greenwood@faineg.bsky.social · 6d agoI used to do some work on the ethical use of satellite and drone imagery for aid and disaster response, and it is genuinely hard to express in words what a dangerous, stupid thing Google is doing by making it easy to use GenAI to create faked satellite imagery:
New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a “bomb blast and crater” to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...
There's already so many ways to play N64 games without supporting a fashy little freak's pet project. Do not buy the war crime n64. aftermath.site/war-crime-n64-...
It'll be the easiest move-out of all time, seeing as all of his shit never left Chicago
Erica C. Barnett@ericacbarnett.bsky.social · 6d agoEmail just went out internally at City Hall: Shon Barnes has (officially) resigned as police chief of Seattle.
Pixar receives a $26.2 Million Tax credit to keep film jobs in CA, and immediately lays off 10% of its work force, after making over a billion from Toy Story 5, the highest-grossing film of 2026.
Pixar's Layoffs Came Days After Receiving a $26 Million Tax Credit. So I Wrote California Officials.
State tax incentives should create and retain jobs for Californians, not subsidize corporate layoffs.

Ian Miles Schlong@tedcruznipples.com · 7d agoThis is the craziest headline I've ever seen
good news: the local Irish pub has live music! bad news: Two flautists and a drunken guitarist present “This Is The Reel That Doesn’t End, It Just Goes On and On My Friends”
‘Anthropic described the project as “our effort to disruptively scan all the world’s books” in an internal memo, which noted “we do not want it to be known that we are pursuing this project”.’

I keep buying games only for them to slip into my backlog unplayed, so I buy another game with the intention of playing it, and realized it kinda sounds like I'm just feeding Steam games to my backlog and started crying
If you've got even an ounce of a soul in your body, you don't touch anything by ModRetro. It's too intrinsically linked to Palmer Luckey and his cohorts. I know the vast majority of you haven't and won't, but it's always worth a fresh reminder.
Bucket Mouse@mousebitelabs.bsky.social · last wk.The chintzy-looking M64 clone console of the N64 by a company named ModRetro has been released, I think, I don't pay attention that closely to shit. But as the great @frankcifaldi.bsky.social posted before, it is our civic duty to push back against this company and shun ANYONE who doesn't.
