Yeah, it sure has been a while: maybe 15 or even close to 20 years! You’re right, I think I’d really enjoy replaying it again on my Steam Deck, so I think I’ll take your advice. It’s amazing how well 20 year old classics like that still hold up.
I’ve been waiting since 2013 for a new Splinter Cell, but I won’t be willing to boot Windows or run anything with malware (a.k.a., DRM, spyware, kernel root kits), so I suppose it’s probably a lost cause altogether.
Although there are usually 3rd party “security experts” who provide alternative distributions free of such malware.
Next up, a mass influx of refurbished GPUs that have been subjected ionizing radiation.
It’s somehow satisfying to get a brand new machine with Windows pre-installed and never let Windows boot even once. 😎
Yeah, LLMs do a decent job explaining what code does.
Guess sarcasm in writing doesn’t always work well. Newsom reminds me of Christian Bale in American Psycho, and honestly, I’d trust the character in that film over Newsom.
I’m sure the Democrats will select a top-tier candidate for us like Gavin Newsom in 2028. One of the most pressing issues in this country right now is there is a lot of hate against minority groups like billionaires and zionists, and a candidate like Newsom would work tirelessly to make sure these groups don’t have to live in fear.

Want us to put your show back on? Yes? Then read the following aloud 5 times while slapping your face continuously: “I am sofa king, stupid”.
I’m a senior dev who has been the tech lead over various products throughout my career and have always been really engaged. In my current software engineer role, though, most of the important product and technology decisions are made behind closed doors and handed down to my team. I’ve found that any given idea I have that isn’t a direct and logical conclusion of a decision made in the ivory tower has a 99% chance of getting shot down or ignored. So, my job is more or less to pump out whatever drivel they want every day instead of being someone driving the development of products I’m building. Unsurprisingly, AI really helps a lot with that. The fact that AI reduces my engagement is a feature, not a bug, because every time I become engaged and start getting excited about an idea, it’s always met with indifference or even disdain, leading to frustration and depression. AI has definitely improved my mental health because I can give a lot less of a shit. The CEO sent out an e-mail the other day saying our #1 priority is to use AI to make ourselves more productive.
My response:
Well, they use Blender, so it makes sense. They’re probably giving Autodesk 7 or 8 figures a year to use Maya, but they throw a fraction of that at Blender and get praised because Blender doesn’t exploit copyright law to make payment mandatory.
Blender doesn’t have any less of a need for funding than Autodesk, although Blender devs do get paid less and work harder than Autodesk devs. They’re also a really motivated, talented and innovative group, so Blender is able to do more with less. That certainly doesn’t mean Autodesk deserves more funding than Blender. If anything, it’s the opposite—especially since Blender doesn’t have restrictive licensing that limits what can be done with it.
That does it, I’m never installing Chrome again. I haven’t in years anyway because it’s garbage spyware, but still.
At least the costumes can be sold for Halloween in Tesla’s forthcoming liquidation sale, unlike their cars that nobody wants.
Ending encryption is Meta’s end so they can spy on everyone and help governments do so as well, so they therefore have an end to end encryption. Oh, y’all thought the app had true E2EE such that even Meta with their surveillance capitalist business model couldn’t access your data? 🤣
Oh, come on, not all lawyers are vultures who exploit the law for their own financial gain. Some of them are retired, or dead.
I’d love to never buy from Nvidia again if RDNA 5 can live up to the hype. Current generation AMD cards are unfortunately not cost effective for the path tracing and compute workloads I run (Blender rendering, simulations, and certain ML models). Hopefully, AMD will offer midrange cards with strong compute capabilities that don’t have artificially limited VRAM. I’m especially excited about the Radiance cores: true RTX to compete with Optix.

Well, at least now there is a LLM that can hallucinate based on the contents of all those books.
