Generative AI is not only fundamentally based on the rejection of consent, but also *standards*. Artists have been micromanaged and hounded over individual pixels, academics fighting to defend every minute detail of their thesis, etc, and then are tossed away in favor of the get shit wrong machine.

I have the same feelings about the Dreamcast. Release a new Dreamcast with a 400mhz SH4, 64M RAM (4x), 32M VRAM and honestly you've removed the biggest limitations of an already super capable machine for homebrew

PSA (especially to journalists): It’s not a “rogue AI” when a badly made security harness executes scripts fed to it by statistical text generation—it’s just humans making and/or using broken software.

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

An image showing the colorful transparent plastic of various pieces of technology of the 90's and early 2000s, that were easily the popular choice of the millennial age bracket. Some of the tech is an iMac, Nintendo 64, Sega DreMcast, a PlayStation 2, a Gameboy color and Advance, and CD player.

It was a bug reported by two people following the release, and is normally resolvable by using a different browser disc to set the settings. If I ever do this again, I'll probably just store my own settings on the VMU or something.

Luke Benstead @kazade.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

I can shed maybe some light on this. Strikers searches the flashrom to try to find a block with ISP info. Sometimes it finds the "wrong" one if multiple were set with different browser discs. In the worst case, it'll find a valid block with an empty phone number.
