Scattering

Halfway through Jon's set, during the awful quiet of a joke not landing, a cat came down the aisle. It miaowed in the silence, and suddenly no one was looking at him, thank God, They were all looking at the cat. And so was he: he held up
👁️ Dear CitiBank your voice enablement software that works as a front end to get to talk to a human totally sucks. Change it. Please.

Google Wants to Send Data Centers to Space
In space, these energy monsters can take full advantage of the sun. The near-constant sunlight there can provide up to eight times more solar power than on Earth, according to the statement.
Seems like a much better place than Earth.

Cobalt: I Put Bluesky on a Wii U
Cobalt didn’t start with a product brief or a market analysis. I wasn’t trying to solve an important problem. I looked at a Wii U and thought it would be funny if Bluesky ran on it, then I started building it.
Down for the cause. It’s like the more useful version of running Doom on an iPod.

I first heard of Slaughterhouse-Five back in my teens, when it was on the allowed-reading list for English classes in my Dutch high school. It took me four decades, but I finally got to it. 😅
Based on Vonnegut’s experience as a POW during the bombing of Dresden in WWII, it tells the story of Billy Pilgrim. The book tells of Billy’s war experience, but also of his experience with alien abduction and with time travel to different phases of his own life. Moving non-linearly through Billy’s life, the book mixes war memoir, science fiction, and dark comedy.
As explained in the introduction, Vonnegut struggled for a long time to write Slaughterhouse-Five. I found it an interesting read, and the absurd mixture of styles made it easier to deal with his lived experience and the absurdities of war.
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others.
I’m not religious, so I don’t tend to care what the Pope has to say most of the time, but I agree with him here. At least when it comes to art. I might snap if I see another generic AI flyer for a company outing.

Former Rockstar dev believes Grand Theft Auto VI on Switch 2 wouldn’t ‘even make sense’
Does it make sense for you to go out of your way to probably have the risk of delivering a subpar experience because it does not run exactly the same and so on while you know that anybody will buy a PS5 to get your game?”
As someone whose favorite console is the Switch, I agree. Nintendo has always been my favorite game company, but even Minecraft is virtually unplayable on Switch. I’m assuming it runs a little better on Switch 2, but GTA VI is a behemoth compared to anything Nintendo has ever put out.
🪦 Farewell Esther .. it’s been a ‘minute’ since seeing your name in ‘print’ … but remember you I do .. thank you for ‘fighting the good fight’.
