Bought the Dreamcast Mouse and made it work with Dear ImGui! Has science gone too far?
I've just been having a noodle through a lovely site: Big Box Collection. There, you'll find scans of big box microcomputer and DOS/Win PC games that you can rotate around and have very high levels of detail. You can also see what came inside them, too. bigboxcollection.com/Shelf
LinkedIn training their users to do unpaid outsourced data work to label AI slop posts to train an AI model to discriminate between what AI generated posts humans perceive as AI slop, which will raise the quality of AI slop to be more undetectable in order to help users “connect with real people”.

It is quite amazing how many people manage to overlook Petrilla's politics just because he's interviewing someone. I'm still preemptively assuming that most people are just not aware of who he actually is, but not sure for how long.
ETPCstop covering jesse petrilla. dude is a fucking fascist. this should not be hard.
We have good news and bad news! The good news is that we just started production on Thimbleweed Park 2, due out in early 2028. store.steampowered.com/app/4932120/... Now the bad news... there is no bad news, it’s all good news! P.S. Thimbleweed Park 1 is on sale on Steam, Switch, iOS and Google.

I've been carefully carrying these around since 1990, still in perfect shape. Love those days when software came with multiple formats in order to accommodate our home technology 🌍💾🌆 #simearth #simcity #floppydisks
OKAY BLUESKY I NEED YOUR HELP! Hundreds of artists have signed @fightforthefuture.org's pledge to boycott venues that use AI surveillance like facial recognition. We want to get to 500 before a press conf in 2 weeks. Quote this and tag artists that might sign? Reskeet? do the thing!

Your occasional reminder that LLMs do not have eyes, can’t actually read, and can’t actually verify confidently stated untruths. They are blind idiots and will repeat anything.
