Good article from @jamesomalley.co.uk on why we need to be powering ahead on industrial scale solar. Perplexing that the Greens are trying to block these project especially as sight of a renewables future is already on our near horizons

The PC Gaming cambrian explosion began 13 years ago.
Up until July 2013, there were 10-30 releases on Steam every month.
Now there are *thousands*, a number that is still growing constantly.
And I have dedicated myself to trying to keep track of what's happening, because I am apparently an idiot.

I've started migrating from Openvibe to Flare. OpenVibe has just been such crap, and at least this is being actively developed.
I continue to be sad there isn't a first class web app for ActivityPub/Bsky unified timeline :(

The end of #emfcamp always leaves me so weirdly emotional. There's nowhere quite like it (trust me, I've looked).
Well done crew (and campers), you're all bloody wonderful.

At the risk of sounding facile... We know how to deal with this, right? It's a final grade that combines take home with written exams. This was the norm when I graduated 15 years ago... Do universities just not do those anymore?
At the end of the term I asked my college creative wriing students to submit anonymous thoughts on AI. No real surprises: Mood ranges from resignation to despair, capitulation from embittered erosion of standards to total, feelings of betrayal from deep to furious. 1/

Got curious and thought I'd check if the decrease in fertility might be linked to violent crime trends in some weird way.
Sadly, probably not.

Sometimes, I randomly remember how hard the original Cyberpunk 2077 trailer slapped. Absolutely no right to go this hard.

The good taxpayers of New York have given me a pair of Meta glasses because I am low vision disabled, and I seem to have used them more than a lot of people on here, so let me say a little about my experiences:
BAN THE PERVERT GLASSES
Men are using Meta AI glasses to secretly film women at beaches, shops, on the street & on nights out. They then post these clips online where they receive a barrage of misogynistic abuse.
I’m campaigning to make this behaviour an offence.
Women deserve to feel safe in public spaces.

So Claude has been utterly crushed by demand this week. Despite the colossal sums spent on data centres and GPUs across the world, we are just not keeping up... and that pretty worrying.
