    They didn’t release a box set for the Star Trek I to X 4K remaster Blu-rays in Europe? That’s sad.

    The C&amp;amp;O class M-1 locomotive is an impressive piece of overengineering because some exec really really wanted to keep burning coal instead of using diesel locomotives. - https://youtu.be/yuG6cJJXjts - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chesapeake_and_Ohio_class_M-1

    So… Mozilla keeps using Mullvad VPN for Firefox and started posting on X again. I guess the Fediverse asked one too many inconvenient questions for Mozilla PR, so they ran back to their buddies on Elon’s fash site.

    This is exactly the kind of dangerous OS-level UI hacking tool I would’ve installed back in the Windows XP/Vista/7 days. Was it a good idea to install some dubious tool that replaces things inside the explorer.exe just to achieve some fancy theme? No, not at all. Was it fun? Hell yes! https://unsung.aresluna.org/something-that-probably-bothered-us-more-than-anyone/

    @beep@follow.ethanmarcotte.com While I never use LLMs for anything myself, I experienced some of these effects just by looking at the screen of someone doing “AI-assisted coding”. There’s no calm, the LLM is constantly in your face, screaming for attention. Pair programming with someone who is using an LLM is a nightmare for my brain. I have to actively look away from the screen when I want to think about something for a second or two.

    Mastodon 4.6 will support alt text for the profile photo and banner. Is this the first social platform that allows something like this? I’ve never seen alt text for profile photos and banners implemented anywhere else.
