It really does feel like Google has gone full-Anakin, haven't they? It's like everyone that put their trust in them is screaming in the words of Obi Wan: "You were the chosen one!"

Some of the takes on the meta hashtag remind me why I don't follow hashtags.

Love it when the issue that I am having with a piece of software is because I'm incapable of distinguishing an _ for a .

I really wish that they didn't turn Strange New Worlds theme into something that feels like it should be sung by a lounge lizard.

So, which stage is Reddit in right now?

Pay the stewards of the open internet, not the gatekeepers.

(Note: muting this post after posting because I don't want to see you embarrass yourself overthinking this).

Google continues to impress in their lack of wanting to be stewards.

If you don't have an exit plan for your Google services you may want to rethink that plan.

"For an outsider, perusing some of the current literature in the field of artificial intelligence borders on voyeurism. One part of you wants to shut the blinds, to turn away from the evident soul-searching going on, while another part is fascinated by the skeletons that prominent AI researchers are starting to rattle.

"Probably because it is such a young field—and in part because it was once overhyped to the point of absurdity—AI is undergoing an identity crisis. B. Chandrasekaran of Ohio State writes, “AI is internally in a paradigmatic mess. There is really no broad agreement on the essential nature or formal basis of intelligence and the proper theoretical framework for it"."

Written this week? Nope. Written in 1991 in Byte Magazine.

Wondering out loud if Linux Games Publishing games still work or if their penchant for DRM has turned these games into a historical footnote in Linux Gaming.

Note: Not the time to tell me about how DRM is bad unless you literally sent a copy of a game back to the publisher (via USPS Priority Mail): https://decafbad.net/2011/01/23/drm-2k-games-gets-it/
