Last time I was at Costco, they had this giant bag of Korean fried puff snacks that's Korean bbq chicken flavored, even shaped like little drumsticks, and yep. They're basically BBQ chicken without the chicken, and that turns out to make for a very tasty snack.

#ai / #llm propaganda is so insidiously effective even for laypeople.
I’ve had multiple conversations with family members who: don’t speak English, don’t own computers (only mobile phones), and barely spend time online.

I hope 2026 is the year in which we treat "just use Windows" and "just use macOS" with the same suspicion as we treat "just use Linux."

Work on the rereading Project and on Arcalibre has been a little slow over the holidays, but I'm going to be getting back to things as soon as I can.
After all, I've got books to read, and I don't want AI fucking with them.

Watching @crazy4pi314 play ZA Legends, and the side quest where a Pokemon decides that someone's taxi needs to die is very funny. I don't quite even know why, just the concept of a wild magic animal trying to fight a car is inherently silly.

Given that in the wake of gpg.fail, discourse has shifted to the very necessary "how do we permanently get rid of PGP/GPG," I will say that what I like about GPG is that it has four very easy to understand verbs:
