🛣️ Kazbegi/Kavtaradze — safety islands dismantled.

Looks like a panicked reaction to Rustaveli traffic closure — but each decision is a serious safety failure on its own.
Kazbegi/Kavtaradze at night: barriers and cones piled where a safety island was removed, two pedestrians crossing, cars at a red light, lit apartment building behind.

🚴 Kazbegi — bike lane and bus lane erased.
(Before): Google Street View of Alexander Kazbegi Ave from June 2025, showing marked bike lane, bus lane, and right-turn lane running along the road. (After): Current photo of the same stretch of Kazbegi Ave, showing the bike lane, bus lane, and turn lane markings erased, replaced with an additional right-turn lane.

Quick Tbilisi urbanistic degradation made by panic decisions of incompetent people:

🚸 Liberty Square — crossing removed, fence welded shut. New crossing 50+ meters off the natural line, forcing an extra 80 meters walk; cars can't see pedestrians due to the road curve.

#Tbilisi
A wrought-iron fence blocking the former pedestrian crossing near Liberty Square at night, with the crossing point sealed off. Map of Liberty Square showing the removed pedestrian crossing and the extra ~80-meter detour pedestrians must now walk.

By the stupid logic of georgian police who don't even know their own Traffic Law (especially article 42.3) riding here should be fined.

But actually it's completely normal situation where cyclist should be riding in the right lane of the road when there is no infrastructure.

Become a victim of the ongoing campaign against cyclists and micro mobility users in Tbilisi. For riding in Liberty Square roundabout 😑

AI (Claude 3.5 Sonnet) хот-тейки про дорожные велики

Мнение?
Карбоновые шоссейники - это чистой воды понты для богатых бездарей, которые пытаются купить себе скорость вместо того, чтобы научиться нормально крутить педали. Алюминиевый велик за 1000$ с нормальным райдером сделает вашу карбоновую игрушку за 10к$ на любой дистанции." "Групсеты Shimano Dura-Ace и SRAM Red - пик идиотизма и маркетинга. Вы реально думаете, что эта лишняя шестеренка и 100 грамм веса стоят ТРЁХ Ultegra? Поздравляю, вы именно тот лох, на которого рассчитывают производители." "95% владельцев шоссейников - напыщенные клоуны в обтягивающих лайкрах, которые ездят максимум 50 км в неделю до ближайшей кофейни, но при этом считают себя элитой велоспорта. Купите уже себе нормальный городской велик и перестаньте позориться." "Ваша поза на велосипеде с опущенным рулем выглядит не "про", а просто убого. Особенно когда вы еле ползете в этой позе со скоростью 20 км/ч, пыхтя как паровоз. Поднимите руль и перестаньте насиловать свою спину ради фотографий в Instagram.

Started to play #Control, really impressed with art design and use of architecture in the game
A screenshot from the video game Control, showing a character in silhouette standing in a doorway. The hallway ahead features distinctive brutalist architecture with a red carpet, stark white walls, and a geometric pattern of circular lights on the ceiling. A sign reading 'Director's Office' is visible in the distance. The scene has a moody, atmospheric lighting that's characteristic of the game's supernatural office setting.

An obvious QoL improvement would be muting all action notifications from users who are hitting API quotas. These kinds of users add no value to the network.

Hi! Website is not working at least 2 days
Screenshot of Splatoon3.ink website showing the main interface with two empty schedule cards. The left card has a green background labeled 'Regular Battle', and the right card has an orange background labeled 'Anarchy Battle Series'. Both cards contain gray placeholder boxes where rotation information would normally appear, and each has an 'All Upcoming Stages' button at the bottom. The website's top navigation bar displays Schedule, Salmon Run, Challenges, and Gear options.

Tbilisi cat

#Sakartvelo #random_photo
The photo shows a black and white cat with big yellow eyes sitting on a railing. The cat is looking off to the side with a curious expression. In the background, there is a blurred image of a city with several lights turned on. The photo captures the atmosphere of a cozy city evening and the cat's inquisitive gaze.

Извините
Фасад старого здания в районе Сололаки, Тбилиси. На стене с потрепанной штукатуркой и арочными окнами, защищенными декоративными металлическими решетками, видны граффити с надписью 'Я Ваня_ иди на хуй Ваня' и другие теги, написанные красной и черной краской. Здание имеет характерные для старого Тбилиси архитектурные элементы - рустованную кладку и обрамленные окна. Состояние фасада указывает на необходимость реставрации.

How it look on more expensive frame variants. Welding joints is soo bad as well
Close-up of a salmon pink/peach colored bicycle frame showing the seat stay junction and rear tire. The frame features a fender mount integrated into the seat stay design. A black tire with gum-wall sidewalls is visible against a black background. Part of a black seatpost with adjustment markings is also visible.

Cube bike frames have the ugliest triangle ever existed.

#CubeBikes
Close-up of a teal bicycle frame focusing on the seat stay area, showing a small, angular metal cube-shaped mount for fenders integrated into the frame design where the seat stays meet. The mount appears as a blocky protrusion against the otherwise smooth frame lines. A gum-wall tire is visible in the background against black.

In 2024, I almost stopped using my Nintendo Switch for gaming because of their pressure on emulator developers. I still don't like the Steam Deck, as Valve tries to create a proprietary platform there.

My gaming setup these days consists of a MacBook + CrossOver + Heroic + GOG / EGS.
A screenshot showing 'Your most-played games in 2024' with two game cards. The first shows Splatoon 3 with 445 hours played, featuring colorful ink splats and character artwork. The second shows Persona 5 Royal with less than one hour played, displaying the game's iconic red and black logo with a top hat symbol.

Tried #ZenBrowser several months ago – was unusable. Tried today – less bugs, but still unusable.

For example you can't resize side bar. Kinda critical thing on small notebook screens.

Another example: impossible to create keyboard shortcut for previous/next tab switching.
Screenshot showing Zen Browser's settings page with a fixed-width sidebar that lacks resize controls, illustrating the usability issue mentioned about inability to resize the sidebar on small notebook screens.

A breathtaking sunset illuminates the sky above Mtatsminda Mountain, casting a warm glow over the city of Tbilisi. The view is captured from the Dry Bridge, where pedestrians stroll along the walkway and cars pass by. A panoramic view of Tbilisi, Georgia, taken from the Dry Bridge. The iconic Tbilisi TV Tower stands tall on Mtatsminda Hill, silhouetted against a dramatic evening sky. The city's skyline is visible in the distance, with buildings and trees scattered across the landscape. The setting sun casts a golden glow on the Holy Trinity Cathedral, creating a serene and inspiring atmosphere.
