I wonder which country will be the first to elect an AI as their president/prime minister/etc
I've finally forced myself to sit down and learn OpenTofu enough to start converting some of my setup over to it. I was expecting it to be quite painful, but it really hasn't been bad so far.
I got sick of not being able to find my recovery usb whenever I'm about to do something risky, so I've created a way to attach it to my computer.
3d printing is really cool once you've learned a bit of basic CAD. It's so neat to just have an idea and then print it, and you've just solved some thing that has been annoying you.
"That is the problem with cloud boyfriend-as-a-service solutions" is one of the most fun things I've gotten to type in 2026.

Is anyone else struggling to use the steam frame controllers with the ergonomic grips? Like, my thumbs literally can't reach all the buttons. I have to use my other hands entirely to hit start and select.
People keep arguing about whether or not AI could ever be capable of consciousness, but I still have no idea what the fuck that word *actually* means.
"Internet drama" is going to change a lot over the next year.

we're in the "i use my 3d printer to 3d print 3d printer upgrades and boats" phase of ai
Gemini interrupted my podcast and crashed the patron app while I was driving to introduce itself. I had to sit in silence for the rest of my drive. I'm changing my stance and going anti-AI. It's time to burn the datacenters.
It's a little bit unnerving just how expensive a hardware failure would be right now
It's mind boggling that the same team that brought us The Bayside Battleground and Archeia Harmonias also made Clockwork Castletown and The Red Sands
