In a recent blog post, Zukowski highlights a Steam feature that impressed me last year and which I've used regularly ever since: Personal Calendars.
Because the personal calendar is more tightly curated and personalized, Steam users are more likely to click with, and indeed click on, the games it shows them, whereas the Popular Upcoming feed was more of a shotgun blast of disparate games.
There.

They'll do it if they can manage to make it impossible to use any adapter. PSVita used those tiny memory sticks because fuck you for wanting standardized storage solutions
Miss Trojan has a lot of explaining to do, how did she get full of Greek soldiers and not a single centaur?
The stock price of the company that caused worldwide outages and economic havoc, Crowdstrike, even in a stock market affected by the Iran war, is higher today than its peak before the outage. Massive worldwide economic harm, no real consequences.
I actually went and checked, Crowdstrike, CRWD, had an insignificant fall after the bug in October 2024 (around 300 USD). By mid November it was already up 10%. Today, it's around 768 USD - it had a huge bump up from April/26 onwards.
When developers say that LLMs make them more productive, you need to keep in mind that this is what they’re automating: dysfunction, tampering as a design strategy, superstition-driven coding, and software whose quality genuinely doesn’t matter, all in an environment where rigour is completely absent. (...) Those who are most vocal today about the dysfunctions of LLM-coding were already warning about the dysfunctions of the software industry well before the “AI” bubble began.
I feel somewhat vindicated and seen, I have been complaining about shitty software for a number of years now (increasingly bloated and slow because fuck you, get newer hardware), though mostly blaming javascript, electron and react. I should look at the bigger picture, the money, that incentivizes the dysfunctional application of those things

That sounds a bit too optmistic

What happens when I have a stupid idea, a mouse and MS Paint

As I prepare to give art classes to younglings (10-11yo), I usually try to teach basic shapes with direct practice via chibi characters. I also take the opportunity to explain what usually makes a character or drawing "cute".
In any case, I present you Sanrio-Man, the salary-san. He is old, disgruntled, balding, overworked, but full of hopes, dreams and kawaii energy

TIL Dark Castle (1987) was one of the first computer games to use a WASD movement scheme
(programming.dev)
It's a notoriously shitty game, but I was surprised when I saw that, despite being a side-scrolling "action" game, it uses WASD for movement on the Amiga and Apple IIgs.
