Introduction¶
An occasional collection of things I've recently found on the Internet and added to my bookmarks.
The Russian Bot Collapse Report¶
Many people were talking about how lots of accounts went quiet when the Russian data centres were attacked. Does the data support this?
TurboLisp¶
A new Common Lisp development environment. I need to try this out at some point.
What's getting pwned right now¶
While the whole thing smells of being vibe-coded (I don't know if it is, but it has that look/feel), this does seem like a handy thing to keep a link to.
SteamOS 3.9¶
SteamOS 3.9. By the looks of things, this is the first version of SteamOS that lets me hook the Steam Machine and the Steam Frame up together to play some PCVR.
Story of Your Life¶
A PDF of the short story that is the basis for the movie Arrival.
Emacs turns 50¶
All my tools are getting old, just like me...
Why I Resist Generative "AI"¶
Pretty good essay on one person's reasons for resisting GenAI.
Frame Control¶
Useful-looking application that lets you manage all sorts of aspects of your Steam Frame, from a desktop/laptop.
No, Transformers Won't End the Human Race lol¶
An essay on how a lot of the doom related to AI, and the impact it could have on us, is tied up with hype about AI.
Manifestos, Fear, and "Loser Thinking"¶
So Proton is currently having a meltdown...
Base¶
A macOS-native GUI for working with SQLite.
X is bad, though¶
A good takedown of the current crop of "eh, X is kind of good again" noises some people are making. This fits in well with the reasons why I nuked my made-in-2007 account and why you'll never find me back on there ever again.
