A lot of what you say is what I've thought too. The whole industry is illogical, so it's hard to make logical interpretations of their actions.

I found one used at a charity shop once. I'm sure they pop up on your local marketplace occasionally. I wonder what the demand is like...

Oof. Yeah. Interesting looking game that just went flying off my wishlist at the speed of sound. And no, it's not for AI stuff. That avenue of investigation went nowhere.

Way what you like about this modern world (and I do have things to say!) but it's pretty cool to spend a day inventing and produce something that didn't exist until you decided it should. I needed an AUX input for my old car, so I made one.
A textured black car dash with a fake button with horizontal lines on it, and a new blue panel where another fake button used to be.  The blue panel has a black box on top, with a cable pluged in and descending out of the image.  On the blue panel the word AUX is written in white.

Three panel comic. Panel 1: a classroom of young students are sitting at their desks. The teacher responds to a question from a crustacean sitting in the back row, “No… a Japanese spider crab can’t run for office.” Panel 2: the spider crab is hard at work, leafing through a pile of books in a dimly lit library. Panel 3: the spider crab stands proudly at a podium in front of a crowd; behind him is the American Flag. People in the crowd are excitedly cheering, video recording the crab on their phones, and holding a flag that reads: YES WE CRAB.

Every now and then I see myself referred to as an "AI Denier" and I want to be clear I acknowledge "AI" exists, it's just I think it's a massive energy drain, created from theft, implemented poorly for inappropriate tasks by loathsome tech executives who get hard at the idea of the rest of us dying

Oh I don't deny the benefit, the utility is obvious and undeniable. I refer to their acceptance of it. The total lack of awareness, concern, and/or solidarity with all the people AI hurts blows my mind. But you, I know, are already very much aware of my stance. Sorry I keep going on about it.

I self host all my stuff, the server lives in my basement. I used to fear getting slashdotted, then my connection got awesome, and every few years it got awesomer, and I stopped worrying about it. It's good that, in 2026, we have new legitimate reasons to worry about what kind of fuckwit we annoy.

They've always, I guess, been known to have a sort of tunnel vision, struggling to encompass the wider world with their drive to build things. But even the ones who were building communities, open protocols and ways to escape big social media, they're all "AI good, I build fast now." Fuck. You.

NFG @nfgworld.com · 18/09/2026
I'm starting to think that maybe it means something when the biggest booster group for the utility of AI is programmers. I'm not going to try to guess what, but the group I used to greatly respect, as they changed the world and made cool things, is too often all in with the dishonourable machine.

So Internet Archive, Open Street Map, and Zenodo all currently getting hammered by fucking AI bots. Core pieces of research infrastructure under threat. And those of us trying to keep resources online for the public become the unpaid servants of the mega-rich AI shysters.

Finished a small mod on my Hori Fighting Stick (2019), replacing the white Hayabusa buttons with a colourful variety of Punk Workshop V1 units, and wiring up an ASCII C4XJ optical stick to complete the silent operation theme. It feels so good to use. ^__^
Inside view of a joystick, with the stick mechanism on the left (with a red Sanwa gate installed), a mess of wires connecting all the buttons on the right to the green PCB at the lower right.Eight colourful buttons on a black joystick, with a few smaller black buttons in the top right corner.A Hori Fighting Stick (2019) with 8 colourful buttons installed, and a weird yellow joystick knob atop the joystick shaft on the left side.

On the phone a few minutes ago, I said "I dunno, I was just hoping that after knowing you for 20 years you'd finally be useful to me." To which @trouserpayload.bsky.social replied: "Joke's on you, motherfucker." Ah, friendship. Total waste of time, really.

Booking an MRI, I'm told they prioritize based on <criteria> and I said "The only way I'm maintaining superiority over the cats in this house is my opposable thumbs, and since my thumb is becoming less useful, the cats are starting to give me looks. Please get me in soon." She lol'd.

Shiny armor - step by step I started with one half of the silhouette [and mirroring it] for the idle stance, set the base colours for the metal and the fabric/ feathers, added more colours for highlights and shadows, and finally placed the accessories [shield and sword].

ok so just so we’re clear on the concerns that are taken seriously ❌ it’s terrible for the climate ❌ it’s fuelled by stolen data ❌ it threatens jobs/entire occupations ❌ it’s often just wrong ❌ it’s literally caused actual suicides ✅ one day it might extinct everyone by bioengineering a plague

Xray and ultrasound today, trying to find the cause of my intensely painful shoulder. Nothing was found, so I guess the next step will be an MRI. Thank fuck I don't live in the USA.

Can you fix the burn-in on my projector's blue CRT? You got the skills, right? Just desolder the phosphor or whatever. It'll be cheaper to fly you to Australia than ship the projector to Canada. Bring some Old Dutch.

Cracking up at AI devs saying AI will kill all humans but they can't stop because someone else might make it worse You can't raise the stakes from "it'll kill all humans" dude, that's already the max. Like "it'll kill all humans but in CHINESE" ok now I think poorly of you for a whole new reason
