the "woke games detector"'s ULTRAKILL problem: there are some games they don't like just because the developer is vaguely progressive and the fandom is largely queer and makes a lot gay fanart of the characters but they have to come up with some 4d chess problem with the game itself
like ah yes the game about robot killing demons in hell and extracting their blood is woke because there's a blahaj easter egg and not because there's shitload of V1 x Gabriel yao…

screenshot of the woke games detector, ULTRAKILL is listed as woke for the following reasons: Contains overtly pro-LGBTQ+ messaging. The word 'gay' is spelled out by three mannequins posing in flag symbols. Level 5-S contains a reference to the Blåhaj plushie, a pro-trans symbol.

RE: vis.social/@infobeautiful/1161
A fun thing to think about: Where are all the Singularity people with solar?
There’s this whole pseudoscientific subculture organized around the one epistemological premise of “lines that go up will go up forever,” when in reality trends change and curves level off. And now here’s this one thing where people keep stubbornly predicting that it will level off and in fact the line (on a log scale) •has• kept going up far more consistently than predicted…. So why aren’t all the Effective Altruism people saying stuff like “In the future solar cells will save trillions of lives, so it doesn’t matter how many oil executives we kill in the present?”

Call for articles: Degrowth and Ecosocialism: the global picture
Degrowth UK plans to run a series of articles as a stock-take of degrowth and ecosocialism worldwide. We envisage two types of contribution. 1) Short pieces (up to 2,000 words) summarising the situation with regard to degrowth thinking and practice at a country level (or for large countries at a more regional level). 2) Longer pieces (up to 5,000 words) reviewing the state of degrowth and ecosocialism in…

Added a zoom level to the Category page on the Exocortex-Log app. Can make the graphs look a lot cleaner now.
Looking back over the last 100 months here, we can see in general my social life is quite seasonal -- Festivals are a lot of social all weekend long and a couple of them in a month really bumps up the hours from my usual habit of sitting alone in a dark room pressing buttons.
The peak in 2019 is a summer filled with Glasto and Noisily and another festival or camping trip I don’t seem to have recorded the name of.
Then clearly visible is the drop-off in social activity as the COVID pandemic hit. Virtual-Social (IE zoom meetings and the like) picked up quite a bit around there but had died back to almost nothing way before the hours spent with actual people started to tick up.
Annoyingly, I have my biggest gap in data right on top of the pandemic there, where I failed to back up for months and then data became corrupted.
When the data-hole is over we see social life still not really returning until the middle of 2021 and not really getting back into stride until summer 2022.
It remains much lower now on average with lower peaks than before the pandemic too. Multiple reasons.
Work is pretty constant all the way though other than the data-hole. Dipping when I take time off for social mostly.
That data-hole is annoying. Back up your data kids.

The EU is considering a two-step EU membership for Ukraine.
The first step/level would allow Ukraine to gain access to the EU market, subsidies, and development funds.
Not everyone is keen on the idea though:

Brussels is considering a revision of the EU accession system, proposing a two-tier model that could accelerate Ukraine's entry. This plan raises concerns among some member states about its implications for the Union.

Just swapped the 0.4mm nozzle of my 3D-Printer for a 0.2mm Nozzle. The level of detail and smoothness is stunning. Printing dust covers for USB A and C ports
#3Dprint #3Dprinting #3Ddruck

Two orange 3D-printed objects on a red surface. The left object seems to be coarser and lacking the level of detail the right object has. Both are USB A socket dust covers.
A 3d printed USB C dust covers still stuck on the printbed of a 3D printer. The printbed is a metal surface. The 3D object is an orange piece of plastic in a slender oval shape.
A hand holding a Flipper Zero electronic device. Showing the USB C charging port being covered with an orange plastic lid. The buttons of the Flipper Zero are also orange while the plastic case is black.

hmm they are going to renovate the tour montparnasse
and the architect’s renders have plants growing high up on the outside of the building
i bet it’ll end up much less green
much like the ground level square where they have replaced the existing lawns with featureless concrete

architect’s render of renovated tour montparnasse: the dark brown windows replaced by mirrored glass (which is very bad for birds); the lower floors are implausibly green, and they have plopped a huge multistorey greenhouse on top

I’ve tried different ways in the past to manage my phone and social media addiction, but what’s finally started working for me, especially now that I’ve been living in my own apartment since October 2024, is deleting social media altogether and setting up network firewalls to block those sites, including federated addresses.
Moving forward, I know I’ll have to cut even more of my online life. I’ve been using my Pi-hole to block distracting domains at the network level, and since I’m to…

Picture of a river from a bridge, not raining at the moment, the water level is high enough that a couple trees that are normally on the bank are now coming up from the edge of the water
A picture of the same river (keep philosophy out of this) from the same bridge. It's raining. The trees that were at the edge of the water in the previous picture now have water a few feet up the shore behind them. There's a large log floating by

Experts say oceans soaked up record heat levels in 2025
The world's oceans absorbed a record amount of heat in 2025, an international team of scientists said Friday, further priming conditions for sea level rise, violent storms, and coral death.

I also see that misguided narrative in the people who still (but increasingly rarely) dredge up stats about how many Obama- and Biden-era deportations there were, thinking it’s some kind of mic drop, thinking that deportations are the whole of the evil here, an evil we can just tally up with a bean counter.
And to be clear: those deportations •were• inhumane and evil. US treatment of immigrants has been morally intolerable since long before I was born. I need you to know that I know that when I tell you that this is a whole other level.
