In 2003, Mow Ringworld looked like a joke, a screensaver with delusions of grandeur. You could have just as much fun pretending you piloted flying toasters.In 2025, it feels uncomfortably precise.

- Resource extractive systems designed as upkeep.- Neutral labour enforcing power- The lie of infinite resources- The arrogance of thinking adaptation and advancement is a benefit in lieu of consent.No cutscenes, no voice acting, not even an exclamation point in the whole damned game.

It's so fascinating to see the changes in one company's logo over the years.

Eras have a habit of being named - The Great War, The Spring & Autumn Period, The Renaissance, The Summer of Love, The Troubles, The Old Republic, The Jazz Age, The Machine War, The Swinging Sixties and so on.What’s the name of this era of yours that you’re going through right now, personally?

My sis just sent me this - a pyrocumulus eruption above a fire about 50km away.

@foone I figured that's a side effect of everything kind of doing a best-effort at synchronisation - that eventually works out once all the parts finish talking to each other properly. Might mean I don't see some apparently-hidden posts for a few days - and never be properly alerted to replies to them after.

A record this week, 4 claims my pics are AI; one photo + three pieces of art from ~2010s.AI isn't fucking up art, it's fucking up people's perception of what art or creativity can be or what things not phone camera pics can be.Modern phone camera shots are more AI than my photoshopping btw.

The thinkfriend is the only portable computer that can love you back. It is never too slow, too hot, low on battery nor does it fail to boot. It simply is, and is very good at it.

Huh. Of course gravitational lenses have caustics like any other.Imagining a gamma ray burst lensed down to a millimetre sized point, sweeping across earth superluminally. And the sky waking up as an instant curtain of brightness from the exosphere on down to the surface hangs for a moment.

Hey you!Do you have data? Is it backed up? Are your backups working? Have you tested them? And that better way of testing them?Also take batteries out of your stored devices. Yes even lithium ones. And have you followed up that weird feeling/sound/movement your body is doing lately?

The 68NC040 was a version of Motorola's 68040 that lacked an FPU, MMU, and CPU - and came in a convenient weight-saving package that also used almost 15% less power.

The release of the Apple Watch was closer to World War 2 than to World War 1.
