"I will have a moment of clarity while I'm watching and be like, 'What am I doing?' Then I'll just continue to watch," said Oberman. "That's where we're at, technology and entertainment-wise."
This article on the phenomenon of TikTok #Sludge Content is the most depressing thing you'll read today.

Hello, Hive Mind. I was curious if anyone knows of a free / open alternative to JetBrains #gitlab Merge?

Well now. It was good but let's not get ahead of ourselves. #gushing #thelastofus #tv
"The orthodox tend to think only in terms of dueling orthodoxies, and if they’re sure you’re not a Yook, you must be a Zook. So it goes."
I feel seen.

2 grown men having an open conference call in a crowded cafe and they are pitching a business plan related to cataloguing people's experiences with Jesus. The guy on the screen, who probably doesn't know he's broadcasting out loud in a cafe, sounds as sceptical as he is patient. #badideas
Classy way to exit the space, Google.

#godot gamedev question, shaders, GLES2 vs GLES3
Okay so does anyone good with #godot 3.5 know why this shader pulls in different normals in GLES3 than it does with GLES2? It's ruining my normal map generation and I've spent the whole day trying to figure it out to no avail.
Pictured: How it looks in GLES2 (desired!), How it looks in GLES3 (not what I want!), and the visual shader graph. The shader also has cull disabled and is set as unshaded.

It should be lost on noone that this fantastic presentation on one of the most important and advanced #AI topics that we're dealing with today, begins with the inability to get a slideshow to work.
We focus on the wrong things sometimes.

Here is a splendid shot of #electronicmusic #pioneer Daphne Oram working her tape machines at the #BBC Studios in the early 1960s (and yes, Delia Derbyshire is also going to get the treatment!)
This #colorized picture is a part of an #ongoing series of pictures of #unsungheroes of 20th Century music, refreshed and reprocessed at high resolution for a more lifelike appearance.
#newyearsresolution is strictly #highresolution ! #radiophonicworkshop
Fantastic look at the present state of #AI and what we're missing. (Behind a paywall, unfortunately).

I've pledged to read 18 books for the Goodreads 2023 Reading Challenge.
The Medium news is cool but it's already being misrepresented as though they brought Medium into Fediverse compliance. They have not. They set up an instance of Mastodon -- same has thousands of other users have. That's important because if they *did* decide to make Medium ActivityPub compliant, like PixelFed, FunkWhale etc. that would be HUGE news.
