Signs. Saw it when I was 8 years old. Looking back on it now it's pretty tame, but at the time the shots of the aliens scared me half to death.

I cannot possibly be the only one who feels like the R63 Malfoy/"Malfoid" meme is incredibly forced.

"It's no different than any other year" Hun, where I live we had a 155°F swing in ambient temperature between February and July (-45°F to 110°F). Most years it's closer to 120 (-30°F to 90°F). This is a HUGE outlier.

Did they tell you what the problem was at least? A lot of A/C issues come down to the capacitor, which is super easy to replace.

Me watching from a distance as yet another critical service melts down because yet another team has started vibe coding almost all of their work. Meanwhile my team--who take pride in writing their own code--continues our 6 year streak of no prod defects.

This feels like an important scene to keep in mind lately.

So what you're telling me is that if I were a garbage person I could make a hell of a profit off the muscle bomber?

King Tinnitus @mn3dp.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

I'm not an artist but I see the same in my field. So many "your code sucks and here's why" posts. Humans are imperfect. It is the hunt for improvement that makes us special. What we produce has flaws, but the focus should be on doing better in the future, not beating ourselves up over past mistakes.

NGL I kinda prefer the concavity of the trackpads that the original had, but everything else about this new version is so much better it's not even funny. Seeing Valve's trackpad evolution over the years has been interesting. Big, concave, round ones on SC1; smaller, inverse-pill-shaped ones...

It's not a future I want to see come to pass, but the cancerous spread of SaaS and subscription-based everything is pushing us ever further down that path.

King Tinnitus @mn3dp.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

That was true a decade ago, but the US' average download speed is over 150mbps now, while 30mbps is about all you need for game streaming. I don't think it's something that'll come to pass in the short term, but over the course of the ~15-20 years... www.highspeedinternet.com/resources/fa...

...based cloud gaming services. Why charge a few hundred bucks for hardware and a couple dozen bucks for software one time each when you can get $15/month out of people effectively forever, and people have no choice but to accept it because of exclusives.

King Tinnitus @mn3dp.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

The truly dystopian thing is that doing that may actually prove profitable for them in the long run. If nobody can afford hardware capable of playing games locally, that'll incentivize Microsoft to push for consoles to become thin clients that are only capable of streaming games from subscription...

Found my old Polaroid 600LMS from when I was a kid when cleaning out my storage unit. I missed how charmingly shit instant cameras used to be.

Yeah, this was...ugh. I had a couple outstanding preorders with them that I've since canceled and will be sourcing the books elsewhere. I'm so fucking tired of the AI market.

"How are Hazbin fans going to defend the Michael Kovach situation?! Checkmate!" We're...not? Dude voiced a character in one episode that came out 7 years ago. He's not relevant to the series as it stands today. Christ almighty.

Hang on, I'm pretty sure I still have this dude somewhere in my basement, undamaged and with all his parts. Are you telling me I'm sitting on a gold mine?

Homeslice keeps opening commissions the months that I'm strapped for cash. Nevertheless, good art. Good artist. Very communicative. Throw money at.

I think companies might finally be realizing that AI usage is expensive as hell and the code it puts out is unmaintainable, barely-functional spaghetti garbage; rather than being the magic bullet of headcount reduction and cost savings they were hoping for.

King Tinnitus @mn3dp.bsky.social · 06/04/2026

The easing of the bubble seems to be rapidly approaching at least. The company I work for has been absolutely obsessed with making devs use AI for the past 3 years, and this week they've halted the rollout process to new devs and are desperately trying to rein in how many tokens are being used. 1/

I knew the Artemis missions were going to be cool as fuck but I didn't realize just how emotionally overwhelming it would be. We're actually going back. After 54 years. We're finally actually going back.

Amendment to this: it's *POSSIBLE* that the termination of a single contractor is what spawned this, but the allegations frame the behavior as affecting all contractors, which it would. That's one of the core parts of unionization; that a violation against one is a violation against all.

TL;DR, not TL;DW. My bad. I'm so used to summarizing videos for people that I got wires crossed in my head.

The internet needs to calm down. Unions are good. They protect their members. But--just like with everyone who's able to claim something--not every claim they make is automatically true by default. We have the NLRB for a reason. They will suss out the truth. (11/11, fin.)
