  This is the most hilarious "we are being shut down by the company we rely on for our SaaS" notice I have seen in a while. Discord's TOS clearly forbids BotGhost's entire business strategy. Absolute cinema. Just in case, here's an archive link too: https://archive.ph/oBdS9

  If all Linux videos would be like this, the year of the Linux desktop would actually be feasible.

  Cute retro implementation of that one game everyone loves to recreate. I also like the idea of sharing your board with someone else with the `$STATE` variable.

  Even though there's some AI glazing in this article, and the goth analogy is a little back-asswards, I think the main point of this is important: In the persuit of reducing hallucinations, generative AI has become more and more sanatized, corporate, and "safe". As we transition into a post-GPT society, creative work will inneviatably become more and more cookie-cutter as AI is incorporated more and more into workflows, either by choice or by corporate demand. In my opinion, the best thing to do in response is to be unabashedly freaky with it in spite of this.

• Jamie Brandon: Small Tech

  An honor roll of smaller tech companies and/or projects that maintain their quality and authenticity in a world full of venture capital and startup sellouts. I wanna highlight the Sublime shoutout: I love Sublime, all my homies love Sublime, and if you don't you aren't a real one /j

  A (slightly millennially pretentious) thinkpiece about the importance of finding people you vibe with well and keeping those relationships healthy.

  If I had an Amiga, I would be geeking out so much about this. You would not see me for days.

  A discussion about the negative affects the 24 hour news cycle has on us. I want to dissect this further cause I have a feeling there's some nuggets of bad takes in here, but the overall takeway I agree with. If I had a nickel for every time my social media feed ended up getting overrun by political nonsense, I would have... uh... five nickels? What can you buy for a quarter nowadays? ...hmm
