This article is suggesting something I have only suspected personally. Due to AI and the overall lack of positive ROI on open source efforts people just are keeping things to themselves or in trusted silos. rachelbythebay.com/w/2026/10/08/idle

I saw this quote about how it could have been logically concluded that Jack Smith was in Atlanta at an NBA game. Flimsy and in fact laughably wrong, but to be honest this is about as strong as the evidence that #Columbo usually reveals at the end of the show!

The very first website is 35 years old today, and you can still visit it at info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProje…! "On August 6, 1991, the first website was introduced to the world. [It] contained information about the World Wide Web Project […] [Original post on stefanbohacek.online]

At a local pizza place and they were showing the World Cup. Or were they? Turns out they were broadcasting a “watch party”, people who were themselves watching the game and at no point was any soccer actually shown. Who is broadcasting this and why!?!? Also, is this f’’(soccer match) ?
