"We'll ball out like we livin' the life Headed uptown drippin' lookin extra fly
And if the drinks keep flowin'I
can go all night
Witchoo
Baby, witchoo"

Just watched … Monkey Man:

Mystic action thriller set in a gritty Indian city. There are phenomenal action sequences of visceral brutality, but overall character development, pacing, and plot fall short.

4/10, wouldn't recommend.

Published an honest review of : (2nd Ed).

From a long-time player's perspective, I look at The Good, the Shrug, and The Bad (deck inconsistency, balancing, identity)

Following up on for my one person research team: OpenProject - cumbersome buggy Docker Install, essential features behind paywall. Taiga - only useful for software development, lacks normal task management. Jira - complex, somewhat cumbersome, but seems to work for me.

Does anyone have experience in more personal, research-focused agile / SCRUM project management using Jira / @openproject / Taiga. What would you use, what worked and what didn't?

The new text to speech models are likely catastrophic news for professional narrators. Get ready for the AI slob in audiobooks, documentaries etc. I hope that these workers have good representation ...

The ribbon interface by Microstft Office apps seems like a bad usability design practice that has been taken up by so many developers. Yeah, let's cram all functions into vague containers so I constantly have to guess which is where. Often without any search functionality for commands etc.

Read a post a few days ago that generative models are "fascist" per se. I don't think this argument holds. See this post, IBM supplied analog computers to the Nazis, and they murdered millions with it. Still, computers aren't fascist per se, but definitely can be when embedded in a particular way.

I think a lot of "generative computing is bullshit and hurtful per se" is linked to bullshit products like these. Dystopian, non-functional design that promises (pretty scary) features the technology simply can't deliver.

I love that I have to spark road rage and murderous disbelief in drivers when a one-way street littered with tons of metal on public space is a two-way street for me as a cyclist. I should definitely get fucked and run over, only fair imo

The Expanse (TV, 2015): Stumbled upon this by accident. Gritty Sci-Fi space opera, focusing on the Firefly-like crew of Holden and a rising conflict between Earth, Mars, and "the Belt". In between tropes, there's real depth and great performances to be had!
