What the fuck is up Denny’s!

That was such a good read. As a European who began playing FPS games in the 90s and just picked up the language of the community including words like “frag” and “fragging”, I never really understood where it came from.

instead of refining and transporting the gold, it opted to sell the bars and purchase new bullion in Europe.

And

BdF Governor ⁠Francois Villeroy de Galhau said the decision to keep the new bars in Paris is “not politically motivated,”

Stood out to me.

Glad you’ve enjoyed the switch. In late 2023 I saw the writing on the wall as well, what with Windows 10 ending support in late 2025, and I made the switch in early 2024. I thought for sure that 2026 would be the year of Linux as well, because why would anyone stick with Windows even when it was just forcing users to throw out computers without the right version of TPM, but also following with all the AI nonsense and recall and whatnot.

The style is very “Charlie the Unicorn” coded, I like it… Although I don’t know if unicorns can vomit or not, so not sure if applicable.

The design reminds me of this old study where they gave spiders different kind of drugs to see how it would affect their ability to build a web.

They moved heaven and earth to prevent pro-Palestinian group Kneecap from playing, but they can’t stop a fascist? Classic.

The replacement act for Kneecap at Glastonbury 2025, Bob Vylan, gave us this nugget btw.

Maybe tuesday due to easter.

Best of luck.

It’s curious how Denmark, Norway and Finland ended up with Vipps Mobilepay while Sweden was left out.

When I hear the name I think of the song, that’s about it.

I’m not a monster!

Ahh, good ol’ Download Accelerator Plus (DAP). Multi-segmented downloading with pause and resume capabilities meant the world on a 56k modem. 15 minutes just to download Bloodhound Gang - The Bad Touch as MP3.

Remember when Martin Shkreli was thrown in jail for hiking the price of medicine by 5555%? That was 2017, but when something like this happens in 2026 nobody bats an eye.

AV1 has recently gotten involved in a lawsuit by Dolby saying that they’re breaking like 5 4 of their patent, so there’s some issues there as well: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/03/av1s-open-royalty-free-promise-in-question-as-dolby-sues-snapchat-over-codec/

Is that a friggin’ DOW tracker in the system tray?

The rise of Kalshi and Polymarket is another very depressing trend. Betting on if or when a nuclear bomb will be dropped in Iran is so fucking dystopian.

It’s technically illegal in China, but I don’t know how illegal.

Yeah, you can store the molten salt and its heat for when it’s needed even at night. But it is used to drive a turbine hehe

FYI, it’s April 1st in Australia already ;)
