Anyone marking Wikipedia's 25th anniversary today can believe it’s an incredible success story for commons-based peer production and that there're aspects of the site that sometimes piss them off. Let's hope it lasts a while longer.

This is the biggest, toughest article I’ve done about so-called “AI psychosis.” It’s the story of a man who committed a horrific crime in his youth but served his time and against all odds found love and a new life—one that completely unraveled after he started talking to Google’s Gemini chatbot.
He Grew Obsessed With an AI Chatbot. Then He Vanished in the Ozarks
Jon Ganz committed a terrible crime in his youth, but he survived prison, fell in love, and started over. His new life unraveled in a way nobody could have predicted.

I feel like the "smoothening" of game design over the past decade or so has changed the way many players interact with the art form for the worse.
Friction often serves a purpose.
If something feels unsatisfying, why? Does that feeling contribute to the meaning of what you're experiencing?

the whole irony poisoned way of seeing something unusual and reacting with quips of 'kill it with fire' or 'i just lost brain cells' is such a muted way of trotting through this beautiful timeline, and such a common reaction from those raised by the internets depths. i hear this a lot with my books

The confusion around $90 Switch 2 games proves how broken the internet is
The internet seems to believe that Nintendo Switch 2 games cost $90, but that's not entirely accurate based on what we know.
