Listening to Stu Horvath brilliantly describe what it’s like to get a new phone nowadays: “It used to be about checking out all the cool new stuff. Now it’s about turning shit off”

Ramblings of General Geekery
Oh what? The “screeching sound” of peeling tape might be caused by lots of little tiny sonic booms?
Good news, nerds! You can now cite this study when people tell you they don’t want to hear about your Warhammer miniatures or whatever because they think it’s going to be boring! Science says it probably won’t be!
Not so long ago I was wondering if anybody would do a Molly White-type “genAI is going just great” website, and this one might qualify!
The pre-show hike yesterday was nice! I saw some rabbits, and also possibly Emmanuelle Vaugier (sorry for staring like a weirdo when I’m trying to figure out why someone looks familiar 😅)
I posted not too long ago about Github being increasingly worse, first from its Microsoft buyout (who would have thought!) and second from genAI bullshit… well, someone’s got the data to back that up. As always, if you don’t host it yourself, you’ll have to move eventually.
“‘The Legend of Korra’ Didn’t Ruin the Legacy of ‘Avatar’—It Enhanced It”: I watched the two series back to back with the kids long after they had aired and I really don’t understand the hate for Korra. I really liked it. Advancing the timeline and tech level to the 1920s was genius.
Sound check done, ready for another gig! This one is gonna be long, with 3 sets… I might go hiking a bit before the show
“CWA Canada president says Saudi buyout of EA should trigger ‘virtually every alarm bell'”: LOL no shit. But hey maybe the sale won’t even go through because the Saudis are busy with other stuff right now…
It’s amazing that EVE Online is still going after 25+ years. I remember playing the closed beta, joining the first organized events with the Aurora program, and getting my ship blown up very often. Good times, and congrats to the ex-CCP people for becoming independent!
