I remain pretty bummed out by the state of decompilations, ports, FPGA cores etc these days. The rise of GenAI has really flooded the whole scene with garbage and kinda poisoned the whole concept. Good piece from @pandamonium.bsky.social on it www.segasaturnshiro.com/2026/09/24/c...

I’m honestly just disgusted. Sick of having to watch Alleged Intelligence and its fraudulent proponents recieve an eternal blowjob from a procession of grown adults who’ve torched their dignity, each craven gobbler pretending they can’t see the Emperor’s naked, prolapsed anus.

People elsewhere seemed to enjoy this so bugger it, you guys can have it too. I took what I've learned about how FFXI does fonts and turned it into a TTF. It's not perfect, but, it's (in my opinion) better than the Vana'diel UX one floating about, link in the second post

To an extent, this is why journalism should be treated as a public good and not as a business. Free riders are often talked about as bad but like, you want everyone to benefit from streetlights. If only the people who paid got to benefit, driving would still be very dangerous for them.

Honestly, a powerful tool most men weirdly don't seem to to comprehend is "playing dumb so they have to explain". You don't have to be an evangelist or a 'hero', it's honestly as simple as tactically employing the following: "I don't get it" "That's weird" "Wait, but why?" "Isn't that ___, though?"

Hey, y'all. "Innocent until proven guilty" is a term intended for the court system, where a defendant isn't guilty 'til a trial finds them to be so. It doesn't mean that you don't use your own fucking common sense & good judgment to stay away from bad people. You're not imprisoning them. Thanks.

The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

For example, the trans restroom debate has a pretty famous historical parallel. But if you even try to compare them many people will look at you with disgust. How dare we compare a silly bathroom bill to THAT! But it’s the only one we know. It’s the only one everyone knows! And it’s taboo.

People talk about how history is often used to frame atrocities as a product of the past. But less discussed is how that positioning makes modern injustices impossible to talk about. We are given examples of what human rights violations look like and told that nothing has ever been as bad ever.
