Question.. is Bluesky basically a fancy Mastodon instance or is it separate?

So.. Linus Torvalds is β€œin” the Epstein files because of bad software (EFTA01375608 in data set 10), some… acknowledgements file? (EFTA00289450 in data set 9) and one of the many emails Epstein was sent where people copied/pasted online articles (EFTA01781993, data set 10).

Technology is funny.

Good point. Billionaires could be investing in water accessibility.

Eventually their infrastructure will crumble

Why is Everyone So Wrong About AI Water Use??
Why is Everyone So Wrong About AI Water Use?? YouTube video by Hank Green

Got it.

Hank Green says for corn the US uses 20 trillion per year (youtu.be/H_c6MWk7PQc?...) - non fact checked by me.

But what is infuriating certainly is that even if there is enough water, we are putting data centers in places that have the least of it

How much is that figure of water? I know agriculture uses a lot of water. I know it’s not the best comparison given agriculture is a necessity but im curious

And this is why we need to go back to the art of PROGRAMMING USING AS LITTLE RAM AND STORAGE AS POSSIBLE.

Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

I think the goal is to prevent devkits from getting out to regular consumers. In other words, Nintendo is trying to gate keep the hardware

Just stop playing Roblox.

They care about money. And they have been for years. Really, ever since they got rid of tickets, it became clear they just want money. And they want to use it to help predators.

Stop. Playing. The Game. And if you won’t ESPECIALLY stop paying for Robux.

Roblox has been going in a downward spiral since they got rid of tickets and it’s exponentially gotten so much worse.

So on a bus ride and the driver puts on WKTU and someone calls in saying they are in an abusive relationship, with one threatening to kill the other… wow. Quite a headline tomorrow.

I watched NVIDIA’s security keynote - here are my thoughts on what it means for the Switch 2 For non-technical readers/TLDR: I’ll just say: if you bought two Switch 2’s, one with the idea of β€œI’ll open it when a software exploit is found and play games with the other!”, you might as well retu...

Especially with the ROP found in the Switch 2's compatibility library, people already think the console can be hacked. The truth is very much different. I actually looked at what the homebrew scene is up against, and here are my thoughts:

it will take so long to hack it that I think people should lobby nintendo for themes or what I want most, smart home integration (at least MQTT)

I realized that I sort of have been using social media less but I feel like the time I spend on it is less meaningful. Not sure.

Bluesky apparently is thriving, but I sort of just haven’t really been paying attention. Maybe it’s the algorithm? Lack of people? Idk.
