tl;dr: In a world where companies will fleece you, scammers will steal your grandmother's savings, your chat program algorithmically charts your gender, and your car's manufacturer sells analytics about the way you drive without a second thought:
The only thing that matters is kindness, and we could all do with a lot more of it.
Also, I'm going to go have a drink or two now. Holy hell, that little rant has been building up for a while now.

15 years ago today, the Minecraft Wiki (Minepedia at the time) was created by a user called Criticsquid
Today, we’re bringing back the extremely old logo for a short time to celebrate!
Happy 15 years of editing and reading, and heartfelt thank you to all of the contributors! 🎉

49. here we find a sacred german shrine: the DB cube. travellers come from far and wide to make offerings to it, in the hope the cube will bestow upon them its favour, and bless their travels on the DB Netz. those who disrespect it are believed to be punished with “fallings out”

Stop using generative AI for fun - it wastes water. When there's no more drinking water in 15 years, you will regret all the weird time you spent with your AI bot buddy and wish that instead you spent that time protesting late stage capitalism, because you will be very thirsty.

In #SimCity 4, pressing Ctrl + X opens up a tiny text box on a corner of the screen.
Entering dollyllama in it turns all the advisors into llamas.

Again, Superman's an a immigrant refugee from an environmental catastrophe (that the planet's powers-that-be repeatedly ignored warnings about), who's an investigative reporter, and whose worst enemy in modern stories is a corrupt billionaire who was once president. How's Superman "not relevant?"

sudden hyperfixation:
superfest glas.
it's essentially normal glass,
just ~15x more durable.
the production process was discovered in the soviet union, supposedly because highly-ranked party members just Did Not Want to drink beer from paper cups at government functions.
unfortunately, capitalism happened when the wall came down,
and well,
when you sell something that doesn't need to be replaced, and your major customers stocked up before exports could be arranged, where's your income?

people: "hey we should make drinking glasses less likely to break and make sure everyone can get them if they want them"
other people: "hey that's a great idea, do it!" "I'll get as many as my family will ever need!" "I'll stock my bar with these and save so much on breakage loss!"
capitalists: "but when everyone has all the glasses they need how will you make money?"

Chess is a wallpaper from Windows 3 (1990). It depicts six chess pieces falling on a chess board. Its author is unknown. In Windows XP builds 2475 & 2486, the Chess user picture is replaced by this wallpaper, possibly caused by an error during the compilation of these builds. ♟️
