I do not identify as nonbinary. That's just what I am.

I identify as an unstoppable force.

How many professional programmers are working on pointless and/or actively harmful products?

Give me your best guess.

...you've seen the mall.

This was an accidental art, as someone asked for water pointers while I was streaming and like, I don't do background stuff but I remembered this water tutorial and I tried explaining how I've done it, then I just, kept drawing until this happened lmao.

I hate the internet.

Trying to look up safe exposure limits for various wavelengths of near-UV light and 90% of the results are AI-generated garbage with top of the page statements like "UV light in the 400-550nm range is especially dangerous" like BRUH... 400 is visible spectrum. 550 is YELLOW. or shit suggesting staring directly into 405nm lasers is a-ok.

You cannot trust ANY information on the internet anymore. It's not just all lies--it's all *dangerous* lies.

you’re a fossbro if your main problem with the Torment Nexus is that people should be using OpenTorment or LibreNexus instead

(trying to explain telephony to an ornithologist) so back in the days of in-band signalling the telephone was essentially a cloaca

Lol Neil Gaiman says

"ChatGPT doesn't give you information. It gives you information-shaped sentences."

This is one of the better ones I have seen.

I think I'm becoming utterly disillusioned on tech stuff lately. I'm hugely aware of the "you like stuff you grew up with" and "you have less patience for stuff as you age" biases, but even so...

Streaming is shit.
Searching is shit.
Researching is shit.
Shopping is shit.
Troubleshooting is shit.
My phone is shit. Autocorrect, touchscreen keyboards, Bluetooth, AI, Android Auto, Spotify, all shit.

It's not even capitalism or consumerism, I'm just tired of arguing and fighting with things I own.

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! 🎉

@hikari i missed praying to it ONE time and got 3 hour delay

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”

this could be us

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?"
