I'm a few days into winter for my first real attempt at playing Stardew Valley since 2018.
Randomly found an Ornamental Fan at the beach. Holy crap! Lucky! Used it to craft a Bridal Shirt!
There's no Bridal legwear, so I'll be making a Long Dress with a sunflower and a fairy rose.
Then I'll […]

AI is so inherently popular that companies are paying influencers up to $600,000 to tell people how awesome it is:

The Swedish right-wing parties are clearly paying attention to all the fascistic stuff Trump gets away and taking notes for their own behavior.
People voting for them need to get their heads out of their asses and do better in this coming election.

Back in my day if a chat service went to shit we'd just delete it and use one of the six other chat programs on our computers that all our mates were spread between, and it really *was* a "just" in that scenario because everyone we talked to also had at least two other chat programs to talk to […]

It's been almost two years now since I uploaded a YouTube video casually featuring the original, undistorted version of John Romero's "to win the game you must kill me..." clip in the intro and still nobody has noticed or asked me where I got it from

TikTok getting MAGA spawns new social media services.
UpScrolled is apparently built from scratch as a centralized platform, not based on ActivityPub or ATProto. They explicitly state that current decentralized protocols don't deliver what they need for a video-forward app, whatever that means […]

They say AI isn’t profitable. That’s not true.
Twice just this past week, I’ve been contacted and paid to fix problems caused by developers who relied on AI to configure servers.

so it turns out that when VS Code asks you “do you trust the authors of this folder?” what they mean is that it’ll auto-execute .vscode/tasks.json if it exists, which can include shell commands.
maybe that’s too many features. you can’t hold all these features. put a few features back

Oh, nice, Tusky updated to actually show quote toots now.
Looking forward to the app implementing actual quoting functionality. Which I'll presumably use.

Mozilla is asking for your opinion about what it's doing, and the survey appears to be aimed at getting you used to the idea that "AI" will become an integral focus area.
I told them that I want Mozilla to focus SOLELY on improving Firefox and Thunderbird, with zero AI in the product.

Oh, hey, I started playing Animal Crossing on the Switch again just a few weeks ago, and quickly realized that my plan to clean up and redesign my old 2020 island wouldn't work due to all the flowers.
