I love how the past 2 years my computer science class' projects that I got to choose have just been all steganography. It probably says something about my distrust in everything but it's fun.

I'm so happy, my grandfather is saving some old smoke detectors for me so I can get the americium inside of them!

Man, the disappointment from realizing that the account that followed me was in fact not an actual app for tracking whales and is just some crypto thing.
The about section of a BlueSky account called WhaleSignals.APP, stating:
"Real-Time Whale Tracking
whalesignals.app
Tracking 200+ elite whales + 10,000 unknown across 11 blockchains
Stop chasing the Market.
Follow the Whales, avoid losses, and maximize your profits."
A small popup shows that BlueSky moderation has labelled the account as "spam".

Got bored and learned about the cc65 compiler that lets you compile c code for systems like the commodore 64 and 128. Made something to spit out prime numbers as a quick and dirty test and had something working way faster than I thought I would.
A screenshot of the Vice emulator emulating a commodore 128, and a bunch of prime numbers starting at 9791 and ending at 10009, because I don't have the stuff on hand to screen capture my commodore 128.

Hot take, but I think nutella is slept on when it comes to the condiments you put on fish sticks. Perfect combo of sweet and savory, and it's so buttery and has a great texture.

I'm guessing every video on Bluesky imploding has to do with the slop ai generated code?

I'll never not be mad that Ncuti Gatwa's run of doctor who only had 8 episodes per season. Only 16 episodes for an entire incarnation is genuinely wild.

Was watching @khill.bsky.social and I have a new conspiracy theory: that the FDA went so overkill on warnings over barely radioactive shrimp so that their budget wouldn't be cut by the Trump Administration and DOGE. youtube.com/shorts/uNAiY...

I sometime struggle to understand the state of mind of someone who vibecodes, and skips over actually programming anything myself. Programming is the funnest part! The pride of figuring out the puzzle of what you're trying to achieve with a hunk of sillicon and wires is incredible!

Microslop being pissy that we're all calling them that rather than just removing copilot is actually kinda amusing when you watch it happen from a distance. Are they not aware why there's been a spike in Linux users? (Yes I know it's for the shareholders but I have to pretend they need to care)

So frustrated that an actual push for nuclear power innovation is because of all things, generative ai datacenters. There are so many actual things nuclear power could be used for to reduce the amount of CO2 we've been pumping out but noooo, it's only for the slop factories.

We're gonna have to explain to future generations why the ai bubble was allowed to get so bad to the point that this is now a thing, all so that bots could scam people and RFK could post ai slop of him beating up a man in a Twinkie costume.

Man, I love looking through old code of mine (like 2 years ago at this point) and trying to understand comments that could start eldritch myths if brought back in time
a comment on my javascript code saying "defines first frame of animation to make the concept of water exist"

With this one purchase I have probably more than tripled the amount of uranium in my possession due to the high uranium content in this type of fiestaware's glaze.

If you haven't done yourself the favor listen to the first two tracks from the violence layer of Ultrakill. Truly incredible work

I am sick of almost every single corporation trying to tell us what we can and cannot do with our own technology just because their pockets somehow aren't fucking full enough.

One of my stranger pieces of uranium glass: a glass basket that is much more blue than typical uranium glass. Interestingly, it glows the same bright green under a uv light. The fun part is that it almost seems to change color in sunlight to a greener hue and I believe that's due to the sun's uv

I know that there will never not be a linux distro that respects privacy and refuses to comply, but wtf? I'm sick of everything wanting to force the use of id to "protect the children" when we have had 232 unintentional shootings by children in 2025 alone.

Figured I'd share my full profile picture. I realized this plague doctor mask kinda fit with my hoodie and roped my dad into taking a picture. And I decided an otomatone would bring everything together. I don't know why, but I like it.

I'm honestly getting so tired of waiting for the AI bubble to burst. We've already lost our respect for art and trust in anything. When will it be enough?

I got this radioactive uranium glass paperweight at an estate sale for 5 dollars. I keep it on my desk as decoration.

This piece is by far my favorite piece of uranium glass. It's a bottle made to store vinegar from the 1939 World's Fair and I just love the design. The person I bought it from showed off the glow by shinning a uv flashlight down the neck.

Check out this radioactive WWII era dial painted with radium I got my hands on. The fun part is that the most radioactive part is the brown end of the needle, not the stuff glowing under a blacklight. (I believe) This is because there was enough radioactive paint that it chemically damaged itself.
