My "Future of Desktop UX (part 2)" talk at #KDE Akademy is now up and it's racking up lots of views. I'm excited people want to discuss this more. Now I just need someone with Wayland experience to help me prototype this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7Af...

this is unexpectedly enticing to me, as a former guile main in high school

Listening to bird song from a nest outside my window and I'm wondering what the world would be like if people just went outside and screamed to attract mates?

Today's distraction: building FujiGrid, a screenful of simultaneous Atari computer emulators. Pressing the S key enables sound for all of them at once, which is quite a cacophony

Thank you DLSS 5 for making my favourite character, Menu Warlock, look how I always imagined!!

We made a fake repo with fake bounties, and the bots are applying fake PRs, so we know who is fake, and we can ban them from the Coolify repo. IQ over 1000

deleted the thread about the anthropic marketing paper. read blindsight and echopraxia so you too can imagine scary things and post about them in ways that make people misunderstand what you're getting at or think you've bought into the worldview they're pushing for marketing

I have no idea where this came from, but

Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

Not for nothing, but the sequel to Space Opera is about one belligerent species cheating at the Metagalactic Grand Prix & the Galactic Broadcasting Union just letting it happen due to total bureaucratic paralysis in the face of literally any issue. I wrote it in 2021-22 & yes I do tarot readings

It makes me sick. That something so beautiful & precious is being ruined by one bad actor the org refuses to deal with. But I can’t. I wrote books. Please read the books. Because when I don’t live tweet it the sales plummet. But I told you. In the first chapter I told you. amzn.to/4fgblZW

This was one of the most interesting, candid conversations I’ve had while reporting from the tech beat. @anildash.com did NOT pull any punches diagnosing what is happening with the tech industry. If you feel like tech shit is melting your brain lately, read this

Still getting up the gumption to get myself out to some writing groups, maybe take some creative writing classes at PCC. Until then, I think I might keep trying to post things I've managed to finish to my blog blog.lmorchard.com/2025/12/02/e...
