another underutilized resource - the public library

As an indication of where things are going on this front, from the same publisher: Sony announced that games are not going to get distributed as physical copies anymore. So no new video games to be borrowed from public libraries, and even if you can borrow older games the new Playstations probably won't even have a disk tray to read them.

Whatever your stance on video games being something that is worth having in a library is, if they could get away with it that's probably their ideal end game for movies as well.

I'm vouching for Frontier as well, as well as "Carbon & Silicon" [0] from Mathieu Bablet. All of his work is gorgeous, I love his art.

If you liked Frontier's theme and are into video games I recommend you check out "Citizen Sleeper" [1] illustrated by Guillaume Singelin as well.

It's a 7 hour narrative text-based adventure that really hooked me one week-end. Your choices depend on how you "spend" your dice, dice that are cast at the beginning of every single day on the station so you get to pre-plan your actions somewhat.

Gameplay wise it's mostly reading, but I liked exploring the station they created.

The benefit for the player is they get a few additional in-game cosmetic unlocks, and the benefit for the publisher is they get a large wad of cash in advance and and an excuse to generate a new hype cycle surrounding the game.

Perhaps.

I like the idea that a piece of art, in addition of ultimately ending up as pixels on my screen, is also a window into a world that has been dreamt up by real human imagination, driven by their hopes and fears.

Semiconductors based generation may give me the first part, but not the second.

I'm speaking for myself here, I agree with your point though.

Scared for the same reason I found last year's 'Ghibli filter' craze upsetting, I would have personally hated to have seen this artist's legacy used for promoting AI image generation.

Unrelated but when I read inpainting and Moebius I was scared it was related and using the art of the great Jean Giraud [0] a.k.a. Moebius

What fills that void for me: https://www.nts.live/

I have a list of "Shows" I follow, with regular updates from star guests (Tim Reaper for jungle music [1] , Lena Raine for video game OST [2], ...)

Their "NTS Guide to..." [3] is really great to peek into a new genre as well.

I highly recommend.

Is there a specific instance that you believe would be most suited to discover like-minded individuals on this particular subject?

https://fosstodon.org seems like a good fit but is invite-only

That's a lot of words to explain how to install things on the device I supposedly own.

Wondering how long the blogpost would be if it explained what the flow for corpoloading applications approved by Google's shareholders would be?

Similarly taxpayer funded contracts for any type of infrastructure (obviously I have digital infrastructure powered by proprietary solutions in mind) should only be awarded if interoperability is guaranteed to prevent lock-in and abuse.

Does anyone know if there is the source code for the Swedish Armed Forces - Team Test [1] in the leak? It was a really fun collaborative flash-style game that got popular in my circle of friends for some reason back then.

While unfortunately in french, the detailed write-up of the hack [0] is worth a read.

The first step was finding out the pre-prod sever through the hash of the site's favicon in Shodan [1]

Funny that this pops up now, yesterday I was looking into using rss2email [1] and migrate all my RSS reading workflow inside mutt.

Ultimately I decided against it because I like being able to use a web-app based reader (Tiny Tiny RSS [2]) both on my work computer and my phone for RSS.

Transcript of the speech on his blog: https://pluralistic.net/2026/01/01/39c3/#the-new-coalition

An excerpt:

I assume you've spotted the pattern by now: the US trade representative has forced every one of its trading partners to adopt anticircumvention law, to facilitate the extraction of their own people's data and money by American firms. But of course, that only raises a further question: Why would every other country in the world agree to let America steal its own people's money and data, and block its domestic tech sector from making interoperable products that would prevent this theft?

Here's an anecdote that unravels this riddle: many years ago, in the years before Viktor Orban rose to power, I used to guest-lecture at a summer PhD program in political science at Budapest's Central European University. And one summer, after I'd lectured to my students about anticircumvention law, one of them approached me.

They had been the information minister of a Central American nation during the CAFTA negotiations, and one day, they'd received a phone-call from their trade negotiator, calling from the CAFTA bargaining table. The negotiator said, "You know how you told me not to give the Americans anticircumvention under any circumstances? Well, they're saying that they won't take our coffee unless we give them anticircumvention. And I'm sorry, but we just can't lose the US coffee market. Our economy would collapse. So we're going to give them anticircumvention. I'm really sorry."

That's it. That's why every government in the world allowed US Big Tech companies to declare open season on their people's private data and ready cash.

The alternative was tariffs. Well, I don't know if you've heard, but we've got tariffs now!

I mean, if someone threatens to burn your house down unless you follow their orders, and then they burn your house down anyway, you don't have to keep following their orders. So…Happy Liberation Day?

As a QWERTY-using French speaker I consider the qwerty-fr [1] layout an absolute blessing. It's even superior to AZERTY itself to type French with.

It's similar to the international layout, but focuses on the French subset of use-cases.

Try out the online preview.

The Reddit video is actually 3 different clips stitched together, the sources are in the Reddit OP.

It's important to highlight that while it's phone-sized, it's not a phone and doesn't have a modem

There is also an official app [1] that you can use to photograph and track the mosaics you encounter. It also confirms if the design is indeed done by Invader.

I'm not competing on the leaderboard, but it's still a fun incentive to go instreets I don't usually go through to see if there is a design I haven't encountered yet.

Same situation here. If it were last year, I may have caved. But at this point I don't want to bother with dual booting and losing my Linux context as I do so.

Instead I'm playing ARC Raiders which works perfectly on Linux and I don't regret a thing.

From the linked post:

Above all, it’s a place where our founder and CEO, Vlad, lived and built for over 30 years before moving to the USA. It’s a place where we already have a few Kagi employees

As the random commenter I agree. By "support" I meant that they have a line of product and a strategy that relies on FEX to work and work as seamlessly as possible.

If they contribute to FEX at even a fraction of what they did to wine and Proton it is indeed huge.

Valve deciding to support Arm-based gaming is HUGE news

Opening them in a private tab circumvents that behavior (at least for me)

Steam Frame is a PC, and runs SteamOS powered by a Snapdragon® 8 Series Processor. With 16GB of RAM, Steam Frame supports stand-alone play on a growing number of both VR and non-VR games without needing to stream from your PC.

So Steam + Proton works on aarch64? Is this something already available/supported, or is this an announcement?

I'm still finishing my first read, but I really recommend Cory Doctorow's latest book [1] "Enshittification:Why Everything Suddenly Got Worse and What To Do About It" which covers the subject of tech monopolies and much more.

Reading it I learned about the term "monopsony" which is "a market in which goods or services are offered by several sellers but there is only one buyer" which is usually conflated with monopoly.

You also do it to protect your friend and family, by for example sandboxing your contacts to prevent them from being shared with the messaging app you need to use to keep in touch with a specific group.

On that subject, there is a "Steam Automation Fest" until Jul 21 [1].

For the Zachtronics fans in the HN crowd Kaizen is out, by devs from the original team [2].

As someone that never touched a MUD (but plenty of ASCII roguelikes), I see that MUD clients are recommended [1] to be used.

Any other clients I should be looking at, for this particular MUD but also others? Are they generic enough to be used with multiple games?
