It makes me sound like a cranky ole dinosaur, but I find the entire tenor of today's diplomatic discourse to be bizarrely childish at times.

Just fwiw, Omarchy is DHH‘s pet project. Ladybird devs have been openly misogynistic on their bug tracker.
I hope the ladybird devs knew they were going to be put next to hyprland feat. dhh shit (cf. drewdevault.com/2023/09/17/H...)

🧵 There’s a deeper divide at work in how people talk about “censorship” and disinformation. It’s the clash between negative freedom extremists and positive freedom practitioners.
Research on the structural elements of disinformation campaigns or the disinformation-related harms is not censorship.

Tech startup idea: instead of starting your car with your key, you get in, turn on the display panel, enter your password, get your phone out, open the authenticator app, enter your pin, enter the timed passcode, then open the start menu, then helpdesk, then "request engine start", then submit a tic

I used to be a rather different artist back when I wasn't trying to make a living out of it. I appreciate and see the privilege of being able to do so now, but there's so much I'd like to do, so many things I'd like to learn and express that I can't help but wish I didn't have economical constraints

I don't believe in "freudian slips". any connection between a verbal slip and the unconscious mind is simply a sigmund of your imagination

Hey friends! I did a TEDx talk and it's now up on the TED Conferences YouTube. It's possibly the best and most important talk I've ever done.

I would ask that you watch it, and please SHARE it broadly and widely. Thank you! youtu.be/dVG8W-0p6vg #AI #Tech #TED

Starfield had a bug where planet textures can fail to load and it looks like this.

While embarrassing, I think this is what temp assets should look like.

Objective journalism deprives people of actual knowledge. They very clearly do not have a product! Don't write down what they THINK they can do unless you say "this is all theoretical." How is an all-equity deal like this good for the non-profit? How is it even good for OpenAI?

Denmark leads the United States in every quantifiable quality-of-life measurement. But my calculations show that the entire Greenlandic population, none of whom have proper US visas, would fit in El Salavador’s CECOT prison. All this and more in the next Silver Bulletin.

I honestly don't get where the fun is in netdecking.

Some of my favourote memories are being sat on the comic shop floor as a teenager with other people, MtG cards spread out, debating synergies and trying weird decks.

Winning is meant to be an outcome of fun. Not the only thing of value.

I've written a one page patch for the new D&D Players Manual where I solve the problem of people's campaigns grinding to a halt because they can't schedule a game.

PDF is the link. Print it out. Stick it in your manuals. May work for other games too. #ttrpg #dnd

When I worked in MoD back in the 70s, if the finance people wanted to get factual information from the naval officers in the building, I was usually sent to ask, on the grounds that they'd tell me more stuff because they didn't think I'd take it in/understand it. Reader, they did - and I did.
