Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

hot maybe cold take: if your personal website has a loading screen, you've absolutely over-built. yeah sure you can use whatever bloated black-box react SSR framework to build the next tinder, but when your basic blog or docs page gives me a loader for more than 3 seconds you've screwed up

I love how Deutsch wikipedia always has the best information about public infrastructure. It's especially funny when the german page for something in England has more information than the english page.

🚨 BREAKING | 1,339 people have now been arrested on "terrorism" charges in 2025, with almost all of them busted for holding signs at pro-Palestine protests.
This is more than any year on record, by far.

as much as I love philosophy tube I feel like everyone knows that 'Indians' is not an ok word to use to describe native people? I haven't watched the video yet and I'm not a native person but I don't see how that word could be used in a good way?

silksong's great, but perchance more importantly, datapack toolkit is now in the browser! :3
for now it fully supports only geophilic, but more datapack configuration options will be added over time. if you're a datapack creator, you can create your own config screen now!

I've just gotta get off my chest how much I hate the layout of north american cities. idk about you but I like being able to work out what city I'm looking at by the layout of the roads alone, and not some soulless grid.

I hate youtube's new auto dubbing feature cause I can't seem to be able to turn it off sometimes and it just sounds ass. if I'm watching a german language interview I don't want some annoying as hell american voiceover which isn't even in sync when I can just turn on subtitles.

Interrupting my normal (if you can call it that) posting to announce that I've thrown together a bluesky bot that works in a similar way to Tom Scott's "Parliament WikiEdits" but for IP addresses/ranges that are tied to Israeli government organisations. (1/2)

As much as I dislike the AI features in jetbrains IDEs, I do appreciate that there is a "Disable permanently via plugin" shortcut in the little context menu for the AI logo. wish more platforms did this.

I'm so sick of seeing accounts like "X against trump" or "Down with MAGA" post copious amounts of AI slop. like you can't win by using the enemy's tools.
