Would fedi be interested in a "best game ever" tournament? Like, nominate your top 3 favorites or something and then they get put in a bracket like the anime girl and vtuber ones.

if you are on the border years of two generational lines, like boomers or zoomers or gen z whatever, then you don't belong to any of them. It just means you will be spit roasted by both generations and fit no where

gen L

Ayo, I'm a *DIRECTOR* NIGGUH

god's disdain supporter pack on sale for less than $5 usd, go play the game for free and if you enjoy it maybe shoot me a fiver.

i'm pretty close to the $100 required for a payment and i also get my deposit back at that point. i'll shut up about it once i reach that goal lol.

Microsoft finally realized Linux is winning.

Despite all of the RedHat bribing. And the lobotomization of their users.

Nobody wants to use Windows.

Suddenly, they are listening because the negative press is hurting their control over the industry. They will go right back to abusing their users once they get what they want. Don't give it to them.

Over the last year suddenly everyone has a 3D software rasterizer. Could it be AI?

I'm the real hipster here. I did it before all the codetubers did.

I wonder if this guy on the cover of Phantasy Star 3 was in any way an inspiration for Himmel

_The Death of Coding Is Cancelled: Why Your AI Assistant Is Quickly Becoming an Imbecile_

"At the start of the project, it seems like a Demiurge. But that ends quickly and forever. Here’s a mathematical proof of why AI will never replace programmers."

FTA: Why a Programmer’s Brain Is Not a “Statistical Calculator”
This is the boundary that AI evangelists refuse to acknowledge. There is a fundamental difference between a human and an LLM system.

A programmer doesn’t keep 10,000 lines of text in their head. They keep meaning. They understand the architecture, the intent, and the reasoning behind every decision. For AI, your project is just a flat sequence of symbols.
The human brain excels at filtering out the irrelevant. But AI must process every single token it’s been “paid” with context to handle.
A human learns on the job, whereas an LLM is static. It doesn’t get “smarter” from spending three hours helping you with refactoring. It just burns more energy.
The “Horse and Car” Trap
The LLM true believers will tell you: “The models will get better! Just wait for GPT-6 or Gemini XYZ”

This is a classic fallacy. You can breed a faster, hardier horse indefinitely. But you will never breed a car out of a horse.

Scaling LLMs is the path of quantitative improvement of a statistical predictor. But intelligence (AGI) requires:

Causal reasoning.
Autonomous goal-setting.
Long-term memory that doesn’t burn down a power plant on every query.
The Uncomfortable Truth
At first, AI makes you faster. But the moment the system’s complexity ramps up, a human’s work speed starts to outpace the AI that has ground itself to a halt. You spend more time crafting prompts and waiting for inference than actually writing code.

I hope you now understand the source of my concern. We are building an economy on top of tools that physically cannot scale with the complexity of our problems. Today’s AI assistants are powerful statistical mirrors reflecting our own intelligence back at us. But don’t mistake the reflection for the thing itself.

Don’t believe Sam Altman when he says that by 2028 we’ll have an early version of AGI.

Although… if you really want to — go ahead and believe it.

But it won’t be by 2028, and any AGI that does emerge will be built on a completely different architecture. Which one exactly? I think you’ll find out soon enough.

_Why Replacing Developers with AI is Going Horribly Wrong_

FTA: The Problem Nobody Thought Through
Here’s the thing about software engineering that executives making these decisions apparently forgot.

Senior developers don’t appear from nowhere. They were junior developers once. They learned by doing the exact boring boilerplate work that AI now handles. Writing CRUD code. Fixing small bugs. Working through problems slowly and making mistakes and understanding why those mistakes happened.

A senior engineer at a major company said something that I keep thinking about. Four years ago he was that junior developer writing boilerplate code and being proud of every clean pull request he merged. He learned the job by doing the job.

The companies cutting junior roles are essentially sawing off the branch they’re sitting on. There will be a senior developer shortage in about five to seven years that is going to be genuinely catastrophic. And it’s entirely self-inflicted.

If you don’t hire junior developers today you will never have senior developers tomorrow. This is not complicated math.

Okay so now #Google is saying that we'll be able to sideload apps in #Android using something called #AdvancedFlow.

This makes me feel a lot better about using it moving forward, but now I do wonder why they sort of pitched it as the end of sideloadiing.

okay I can finally show off these things- Sun SPOTs, weird little java on metal microcontrollers from 2005/2006!

REMEMBER ⚠️ 🚨, if you find a github repo you like, BACK THAT THANG UP
You have no idea when the creator of it is going to crash out online and nuke everything due to feeling some kind of way online.

IA might archive it, but it doesn't always do it.

GN has been making a genuine effort to regurgiate research on various chat services and protocols in light of many people finally realizing that Discord is a Piece of Shit™. They're the only ones who've been honest about Matrix's honeypot smell but still haven't exactly nailed the issue and have neglected XMPP presumably because they are as clueless as the average person - they are better as journalists and not computer experts, but that's better than 99% of journos out there so I'll take it I guess. Above all it is a good thing they are willing to listen to commenter feedback and highly likely that they'll do more good than bad for normies not in the know.
