Clear plastic Redbox DVD rental case with a red sticker. The sticker shows the Redbox logo at the top, a large white arrow pointing left labeled Insert, and printed instructions that the DVD can be returned to any Redbox location. The round disc holder is visible through a circular cutout in the center, and the case is slightly scuffed from use.

Added one of these redbox cases to my collection today (got it for free). For a few years there, I was checking out my local redbox every week.

everyone's talking about their teams like they were at the peak of efficiency and bottlenecked by ability to produce code
οΈ€οΈ€
οΈ€οΈ€here's what things actually look like
οΈ€οΈ€
οΈ€οΈ€- your org rarely has good ideas. ideas being expensive to implement was actually helping
οΈ€οΈ€
οΈ€οΈ€- majority of workers have no reason to be super motivated, they want to do their 9-5 and get back to their life
οΈ€οΈ€
οΈ€οΈ€- they're not using AI to be 10x more effective they're using it to churn out their tasks with less energy spend
οΈ€οΈ€
οΈ€οΈ€- the 2 people on your team that actually tried are now flattened by the slop code everyone is producing, they will quit soon
οΈ€οΈ€
οΈ€οΈ€- even when you produce work faster you're still bottlenecked by bureaucracy and the dozen other realities of shipping something real
οΈ€οΈ€
οΈ€οΈ€- your CFO is like what do you mean each engineer now costs $2000 extra per month in LLM bills

GitHub - kitlith/less-steam: Couple of small utilities meant to work with umu-launcher and replace the usage of the `steam.exe` included with Proton. Couple of small utilities meant to work with umu-launcher and replace the usage of the `steam.exe` included with Proton. - kitlith/less-steam

Dug into why people were having trouble with VR & umu-launcher, and created some tiny wrappers to maybe help with that. (github.com/kitlith/less...)

So now I can run VRChat w/o the steam client, because it's nice to have one less thing that embeds a web-browser running in the background I guess.

I'm enjoying it, and have most of what I need set up on it now...

I've been climbing the ranks of Sonic Racing CrossWorlds' Legend Competition Round 2, playing modded Minecraft with friends, and re-teaching myself to draw with Krita.

It’s worth noting that spending on ICE, DHS and state + local police is higher than the amount that China spends on its entire military.

DHS funding bill faces new Senate hurdles after another person killed in Minneapolis Some Democrats who voted for recent funding bills said they'll vote against any DHS bill without restrictions on enforcement operations. The deadline to avert a shutdown is Friday.

YOUR PHONE CALLS TO THE SENATE ARE WORKING. KEEP CALLING.

202–224-3121

Three Democrats who previously broke with the party and voted with the GOP are now saying they will not vote for the bill. That’s enough for the bill to be unpassable right now.

Wow, sure would be pretty crazy if a ton of experts in the artificial intelligence field relentlessly warned everyone about this state of affairs being inevitable over and over for years.

Wow, a large, transequatorial coronal hole is about to face Earth. This coronal hole is sending fast solar wind into space. This solar wind stream may start affecting Earth as soon as this weekend, and minor geomagnetic storming is possible. Stay tuned for more updates on this feature...
