Here's Amazon's two new planned fossil-fuelled AI data centres next to the ENTIRE POWER GRIDS OF SEVERAL LARGE COUNTRIES Together, the two gas-burning data centres will emit more than Spain's entire grid, if built

Bar chart comparing 2025 national grid CO2e emissions (grey bars) with two Amazon fossil‑fuelled AI data centres (red bars), showing the Amazon sites at about 33 and 17.5 megatonnes CO2e—higher than many countries' entire power grids.

My aquarium is doing well! Just added some fish 🐠

An aquarium with lots of plants, logs, and stones. There are some red and white shrimp, and long black loaches visible.

A long black fish is resting on a patch of sand.

Had a friend help me set up an aquarium for the first time. Really happy with how it turned out so far! Just got some little shrimps in too 🙂

It's increasingly depressing how many people are okay with gen AI replacing _other_ people's jobs

Every once in a while I think about @freya.bsky.social's magic 480 Hz at 60 Hz video: xcancel.com/FreyaHolmer/... I'd love to try an experiment to render and combine subframes in realtime to simulate a higher refresh rate in an actual game and see how it looks one day

Daisy was with me for almost 17 years, but she passed away earlier tonight. I'm really gonna miss you buddy 😢

Completely unrelated to anything going on, I find the claim that any group protesting Elon Musk is funded by a secret cabal laughable and wouldn't believe a word out of his mouth Unrelated to anything of course

Crafting from village chests is now in LEGO Fortnite! www.reddit.com/r/LEGOfortni... It took lots of great work from a lot of folks (design, QA, UI, UX) to bring this life and I'm glad to see that players like it! (I really wanted this one as a player myself so I worked extra hard on it 😄)

Just finished #1000xRESIST last night and it was excellent! Probably some of my favorite writing in games of last year (or even all time)!

Anyone have good recommendations for 3D libraries for games? I've seen Ogre3D and raylib, but I'm wondering if there's anything else Or is the strategy to roll your own using OpenGL/Vulkan?

I actually wrote a few minor UX improvements that made it into this release! If you are one of the five people who care about the anim notify window not displaying property categories, then I have a release for you 🙂
