Just realised that GTA VI is this year!
On one hand I hope they do a CIV VII and fail so I’m not compelled to play it on the other hand GTA is one hundred percent the asylum I was raised in.

As a UK resident I definitely appreciate that they took the ip blocking route for this nonsense, and not some kind of account-level lock.

For 80 bucks a day I expect to be able to livestream my entire steam catalogue on a F35 traveling at Mach 2 over the pacific while simultaneously downloading and uploading the world’s archive of Linux ISOs
Las Vegas Convention Center WiFi pricing continues to make 6-to-5 blackjack, the $3 surcharge to pay for a taxi here with a credit card, and the "CNF" junk fee on bar and restaurant tabs all look like consumer-friendly bargains in comparison.

11:17 and I am working on the damn @potniq.com app. Not sure if this is the labour of love, product of raw passion, or just obsession of a maniac.
Gonna start 2026 with a grand refactor and some lit features regardless.

Something I pledged for @potniq.com besides always putting traveler first, is hiding little easter eggs everywhere I can.
Maybe one of these will bring you delight one day.

5yo has somehow picked up 6-7.
He also has to do early stage maths with rudimentary plus/minus 1 exercises.
Naturally, every time he gets to 5, I get to say 6-7.
This is the way.

I do something similar with claude - first I discuss the problem and solutionize with normal claude - sometimes in audio mode. I use the same project for context, then when happy with the state of planning I tell it to spit out a prompt for claude code to implement, which results in a PR

I don’t have a problem with truncated emails - save bandwidth- render better for 80% use cases - what I really despise are newsletters that _deliberately_ target greater length in order to have their unsubscribe buttons truncated.
