So, remember how all the cool kids dumped #Sphinx and went for the shiny #MkDocs thing? And then used the shiny Material for MkDocs theme?
Well, apparently MkDocs 1.x is dead, and MkDocs 2.0 is coming with no support for plugins, incompatible theming system, closed contribution model and unclear licensing.
So which hype train are the cool kids jumping to these days?

I made a game called Fediquest but
There was some design flaws in it that I mistakenly introduced in the beginning and that became very annoying later
I confess, I used Claude to slopify it
and, maybe most importantly,
so I have revised my set of rules and will just restart from scratch...

Being old, I joined U3A (my dad was a member when it was called University of the 3rd Age). I came across a course that's designed to teach you about #AI. But it's more like a Musk promotion exercise. I find that worrying. Uncritical education is worse than useless www.silveraiproject.com
For example the course has a lot of made-up baloney about longevity -miseducation about quackery

Axiom Math, which uses AI and the Lean language to verify code in much the same way that mathematicians prove math problems, raised $200M at a $1.6B valuation (Cade Metz/New York Times)

A.I. Writes Buggy Code. A Silicon Valley Start-Up Wants to Fix It.
Valued at $1.6 billion, a tiny start-up called Axiom is building A.I. systems that can check for mistakes.

I never like seeing bug zappers and Spartan Mosquito Pro Techs for sale, but at least they are on the bottom shelf where scams belong. #mosquitoes

One fascinating film trivia I learned recently is that Sofia Coppola and Spike Jonze’s marriage from 1999 to 2003 partially inspired Coppola’s 2003 film Lost In Translation and Jonze’s 2013 film Her.
Coincidentally, both films star Scarlett Johansson as the main female protagonist, both films were nominated for the Oscar Best Picture, and both films won the Oscar Best Original Screenplay for Coppola and Jonze.

Like…if we are concerned about humanity, if we believe that lives matter, then this war is an absolute horror, just a terrible mistake in every moral and ethical sense, period.
But if we are only concerned about the battle of nation-states in some cold-blooded realpolitik frame of mind…then this is •still• a terrible mistake, one of the greatest unforced errors of statecraft in modern history.

I thought I was familiar with a lot of codecs, but Captain Crunch and DVI are names I've never heard. #avpreservation

Some real banger multimedia coverage in this issue of CD-ROM Professional

Because @…’s Flipboard site won’t scroll for me (?!?), here’s the paragraph with the punch:
❝It’s worth noting that over the decades, Pixar has explored topics such as, but [not*] limited to: becoming a widower, suddenly becoming a single or adoptive parent, environmental collapse, existential dread, motherhood, and job burnout. The first Incredibles has a subplot where Elastigirl thinks Mr. Incredible is having an affair, Toy Story 3 has the toys accept death by furnace, and Elemental is about interracial relationships. The last two movies Docter directed were Soul, which is about a Black man finding joy in his life again, and Inside Out—maybe the most therapy-ass movie (and series) in the studio’s entire 40-year tenure—is about messy preteen emotions that lead to its main character running away from home.❞
* The word “not” is missing in the original, surely an editorial mistake?
