Playing “Indiana Jones and the Great Dissertation.” It’s the prequel game where he earns his PhD. The typewriter physics are 100% realistic. I’ve spent hours citing my sources

Do you think historians in the future will go “In the late 90s all the UK’s young adults went and did their gap years in Australia… because of Neighbours” I feel like it’s one of those truths we are still too close to see

I’ve met some lovely members of the chess community in recent weeks, working on a feature for Mensa. Love this screenshot with Bruce Pandolfini, chess teacher/writer/thinker who created most of the games shown in The Queen’s Gambit & taught the actors to play realistically

DO NOT DRINK THE TUDOR MILK

A gallon of milk whose sell by date reads, "SELL BY OCT 23 1538" - Which would mean it should have been sold sometime around the final decade of the reign of Henry the Eighth.

I think modern computer software was a mistake and we should go back to our roots of developing for limited hardware. The same amount of electricity that could power MS-DOS for a year is now used to ask Copilot how to save a Word document to your local Desktop instead of OneDrive.

A lot of older, Gen X people may be confused by the new AI story. Let me explain in terms you will understand. This is like when the 48k ZX Spectrum came out and undercut the BBC Micro, except this time it's available as a free kit anyone can assemble and it already has The Hobbit installed.

it’s bad and it’s gotten exponentially worse in the past 6 months. if you write anything involving deep research/old books/forgotten periodicals you’re probably noticing “wiki creep,” because it’s one of the few resources left standing. the internet as an archive is disappearing, has disappeared.

Did you know there are NO direct flights between Africa and South America? You can do it… but only by diverting absurdly, and it’ll take 12+ hours. Senegal > Brazil is only 1770 miles. That’s about the same as Edinburgh > Naples. Which takes 3 hours.

Yes it's a plagiarism machine meant to put us all out of work and enrich the worst people alive and yes one request expends more energy than it takes to power Buffalo for a week, but more than that anything to do with AI is just corny dork-made shit. It fucking sucks and so do you if you use it.

BSky's super-block is brilliant. It cuts off bad-actors instantly. I think the level of discourse here is much better than on other places. But it achieves this by publishing your block lists for everyone to see. And there's *nothing* about it in their privacy policy bsky.social/about/suppor...

There's no way to remove a follower on BlueSky. If someone follows you, and then you block them… they're still following you! Unblock them and they show up in your followers list. (How long before someone replies to say "This Is Very Good And Users Expect This Actually"?)
