Woohoo! It isn't snowing, only heavy rain (unlike the previous two mornings)!

Only of interest for #GW2 players: today I got my first set of Obsidian Armor (light). Yay!

I’m not doing great on my ”perhaps I should craft some legendary trinkets…?” (of which I still have zero) as I allowed myself to get sidetracked with Eternity, Klobjarne Geirr and now armor. NOW maybe I […]

Screenshot of social media post from Trump where he says Ivanka is now in South Korea and that the US cannot have a better or smarter person representing the US, to which someone replies "why not" and another person comments with that they laughed so hard they spit on themselves.

On the topic of non-US services:

Have you seen https://www.eurosky.tech which is built on the AT protocol. Opinions? Experiences? Views?

Wouldn't it, today, still have a dependency to BlueSky? Or have I misunderstood how it (AT) works?

Apparently no one I know or am connected with is talking […]

Interesting topic regarding the differences between open web, open tech and open source and what it can mean for actual openness vs convenience. I haven't watched the video just yet, but as Chris (@codepo8@toot.cafe) is wise I have added it to my to-watch list […]

Err...right. That is definitely one way of doing it. Blimey.

So now the label of "out-of-control, Radical Left" is applied to companies simply for stating they do NOT wish their products to be used for killing people without human control/intervention, or if they do not wish their products to be used for mass surveillance of innocent civilian public.

It […]

"Google has criticized the European Union’s intentions to achieve digital sovereignty through open-source software."

Umm...ok...I think I can see why they did that, but lets read further...

"The company [Google] warned that Brussels’ policies aimed at reducing dependence on American tech […]

Vivaldi browsers latest update includes tiling of tabs in the same window. Unlike other browser makers they keep adding actual usability features **instead** of making every AI, which I (as a multi-device) user of Vivaldi appreciates.

That they also are active in the Fediverse is another bonus. […]

This is not satire.

"To authorize the President to enter into negotiations to acquire Greenland and to rename Greenland as “Red, White, and Blueland”."

Interesting read.

A meme with a map of Greenland, labelled "Epstein Island", and a composite photo with Trump and Epstein. Text on top says: "Breaking. Denmark renames Greenland so Trump will never talk about it again."

No, Grok hasn’t paywalled its deepfake image feature X’s sexual deepfake machine is still running, despite Grok saying otherwise.

Actually...

As Grok is allowed to create bikini images of various women someone took a picture of the faked "war room" (hah...X on the screen, not even connected phone etc) and put all of Trumps gang in bikinis.

I'm really happy to see that there's such an influx of new players to Guild Wars 2. Amazingly fun.

Pretty strong going for an MMO (or CMO...C for collaborative) that was released 13+ years ago, but which has been updated regularly over the years, making most of the other MMO's appear like they […]

Right. One thing led to another, and I have now wiped my iMac 2013, that was running Omarchy, no less than 6 times over the last 4 days. To make a bumpy ride/story a lot shorter, I am now using a (to me) brand spanking new distro called Garuda, which seems really nice.

I seem to have gotten […]

Heh. Apparently my #Tumblr account celebrates its 15th birthday today.

Screenshot of an article headline saying in big bold letters: "Pentagon Unveils New GenAI Platform, It Immediately Starts Flagging Pete Hegseth's War Crimes" followed by a paragraph in smaller lettering saying "The Defense Department's new ChatJAG turned out to be better than the human chain of command". At the bottom there are credits for the article saying "By Joe Patrice on December 10, 2025, 4:58 pm".

AI apparently DOES have some valid use cases after all.😆

Photos in my feed of messy garbage room reminded me of the classic Street Mattress site from years ago. It is still there, apparently. The site that is, hopefully not the mattresses.
