Can we maybe stop making shows for people who don't watch shows and writing books for people who don't read books and making video games for people who don't play video games and making sports for people who don't like sports and making music for

If you don’t let go of your prejudices and past grudges, your heart won’t blossom. 2013 is coming, let’s make a change. We only have one planet so let’s show each other some kindness.

Oh hey reason number 20 million not to use AI:

xAI has open-sourced Grok Build after backlash over secretly uploading users’ repositories

xAI has released the full source code of Grok Build, its AI coding agent, after Cereblab researchers found that the tool was uploading users’ entire Git repositories to company controlled Google Cloud storage. The transferred data could include sensitive files such as SSH keys, password databases, private documents, and photos. xAI disabled the file upload feature and said data storage had been turned off by default since July 12. Elon Musk also stated that previously uploaded user data would be permanently deleted and promised to open source the project after a security audit. The code is now available on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 license, although it was published as a single commit without previous Git history or pull requests. The codebase contains approximately 844,530 lines of Rust covering Grok Build’s core agent workflow, tools, terminal interface, and plugin system. Code related to the disabled upload feature remains in the repository. Grok Build can read repository configurations, plan tasks, generate or modify code, execute shell commands, run in automated pipelines, and integrate with editors through the Agent Client Protocol.

Anyway, PSA for programmers and anyone who uses Git! Apparently Elon Musk has been stealing all your stuff, including your security keys and passwords, so uh. well I am not a programmer but you might want to Move That Shit

I know Tumblr is full of posts about the virtues of commenting on AO3 fics and such. But like. It works.

I just knocked out 8.5k words in one single day for a chapter update because of one reader leaving one of the most absurdly endearing comments I’ve ever gotten. That is unheard of levels of productivity for me.

The power of the fandom. The power of the comment.

OP: We never found another phone this interesting after that. Let me show you the last glow of the millennium. (cr ETO数码)

When Chinese netizens talk about the millennium era, there’s always a lot of wistful reflection. In China, the so-called millennial generation (千禧一代qian xi yi dai)mostly refers to people born between 1985 and 1995. Their life experience differs greatly from Western Millennials, because China underwent lightning-fast leaps in society and technology while they were growing up. The shift hit them far harder on a personal level.

Specifically, their sense of time sets them apart from generations before and after. They spent their childhood fully immersed in the analog age—the kind of offline, street-side daily life you see in shows like Neighbour Ma Dajie. Back then, most families didn’t own computers or broadband. The urban-rural divide was massive. You waited for cartoons to air on fixed TV schedules, or bought DVDs if you didn’t want to wait. Music came from cassette tapes, CDs and MP3 players. Newspaper and magazines were the main sources of information. Waiting for things was simply normal.

Yet through their teens and young adulthood, they watched the digital explosion unfold right in front of them: the arrival of QQ, the rise of internet cafes, early blogs, campus forums and countless Flash mini-games. This shift didn’t creep up slowly; it was an abrupt jump. Their lifetimes span the full migration path of modern information civilization: physical books - television - desktop computers - the internet - smartphones - AI or LLM.

Within just over a decade, the world raced forward to mobile payments, global social platforms and e-commerce. Their formative years straddled two entirely separate worlds, two opposing rhythms of life, ways of socializing and accessing information. Both realities are etched into their memories, leaving them with two distinct ways of perceiving time.

Media describes them as the last generation of Chinese people to have a pre-internet childhood, and the first generation to fully embrace the online world as adults. They are like a living bridge between eras.

everyone i've talked to about this has been completely unaware so: if you didn't know already, there's going to be a solar eclipse, with totality or coverage of 90% or more in some places, over a lot of europe, on august 12th 2026. in the uk it will start just after 6pm, and the maximum will be at 7:13pm.

here is a map of the path of the eclipse (from timeanddate)

get eclipse glasses if you want to look at it. it is not safe to look at through sunglasses. ok informative post over o7

Okay, this made me pause and literally write out every letter that 'fell' in order (‘oomngouuhhrsrtutpntnue’), then make sure they were all contained in 'turntomushuponthergroun'.

They are, and it's very satisfying.
