Honestly my biggest gripe with online services these days is how "remember me" is so often a straight up lie. I return a couple days later and I'm logged out again. I understand the security behind shorter session timeouts, but then don't give me a misleading option as a user. Stop it.

The AT medals in Trackmania the current weekly shorts are so easy that I was able to one shot them as a beginner who hasn't played the game in years. I'm not about to compete for world records, so nothing left for me to strive for. Predictable maps with participation trophies. Boring.

when you examine a text written by a human you can find layers and layers of meaning and intentionality, the complexity of the human conscious, an opportunity for one mind to commune with another outside the bounds of time and space. when you examine AI text you drown in a teaspoon of nothing.

the ai bot isn’t “admitting” its secrets to you or “revealing” its creators intentions it’s just a word generating machine generating words the only meaning is that which you read into it and imo that should be none

Veilguard has been interesting to follow as most vocal criticism of it seems to come from people who loved the older games and were jumping back into that universe. The new artstyle and lighthearted tone seem to appeal to players new to the series while leaving many old fans feeling weird about it.

Before long we’re going to see adversarial governments create multiple seemingly independent news agencies that appear privately owned, which will garner popularity over years before subtly switching to deep fakes. This may already be a plan being executed.

Sooner or later a real product is going to ship with AI-generated instructions that no-one thoroughly double-checked and it's going to cause real harm and lawsuits. I'm just waiting to see the day at this point.

it's kinda weird how more people respect the requirement to carry a piece of plastic with you when driving than the requirement to pay attention so you don't kill someone

Keeping track of email delivery using @cloudflare.social 's DMARC management (beta) is actually really nice.

Changed back to i3 from hyprland and dropped total system power consumption from 99W to 54W in its typical state. In a month that saves me a couple of euros.

Gave an overdue face-lift and bug fix to my old unicode converter r.3v.fi/unicode/ I use it almost weekly and hopefully it can be of use to someone else too.

With Ubisoft calling Skull & Bones "the first AAAA" video game, I can only assume the number of As just means how ass the game is. I can usually find some redeeming quality in games from large studios but there doesn't seem to be any here.

These throwable fire extinguishers seem like a real-life example of xkcd.com/937 — they have really good reviews from everyone except the few people who tried using them to put out fires

the single dimension of recommendation algorithms today fails to account for varying desires. i'll have a hard time finding chill content if i usually relate to contagious super energetic content. engaging with lots of different content can end up in recs being a blend that doesn't work at all

I hope to see more complete games from big studios that aren’t constantly advertising yet another thing I could buy. Baldur’s Gate reminded me that I haven’t lost my enthusiasm for games. It’s just near impossible to get immersed in AAA games these days with the constant money reminders

Bluesky is exciting because it's mostly pretty chill but there's always a chance that the next thing you scroll past might give you 4d6 psychic damage
