Idle Defragmenter 95 is out now on Steam

It’s a tiny desktop idle game that pretends to be a MS-DOS / Windows 95 / XP disk defrag and lives in a little window on your screen while you work or watch videos.

That's not even a person, it's not the Discourse Of The Year award. If they were doing it properly the way to do this ragebait would be to say "person of the year is chat GPT", and I bet that was the original idea before someone decided they didn't want to offend Grok or Gemini

A total of 0 console hardware manufacturers moved production to the US, and China still remains the main hub for global shipments.

Vietnam also has tariffs similar to China as of today, which made the shift to Vietnam somewhat unneeded.

As of August 2025, Vietnam accounted for 75% of all video game consoles shipped to the US.

In 2024, 86% of consoles shipped to the US were from China.

Migranten überrepräsentiert bei Tatverdächtigen, aber eben auch bei Unternehmensgründungen, Pflegekräften oder Ärzten. Fast so, als seien Migranten eher jung und fast jeder Vierte Deutsche ist Rentner. Aber lass dich weiter mit Rassismus von unseren echten Problemen ablenken.

I know Time's argument is that Person of the Year isn't about being "the best" it's about being the most influential, hence people like Hitler have won, but man, that cover is doing a *lot* of editorializing in defense of these grifter assholes, and including Musk is straight up offensive.

Wir haben gegen die BILD geklagt und wir haben gewonnen.
Und zwar nicht aus Prinzip, sondern weil es notwendig war.

Die BILD hat öffentlich behauptet, Mimikama sei „größtenteils staatlich unterstützt“ und gehöre zu staatlich geförderten Meldestellen.

Steuergeschenke an Konzerne sind kein Konjunkturprogramm. Jeder Prozentpunkt weniger Körperschaftsteuer kostet 4,6 Mrd. €. Am Ende profitieren v. a. Eigentümer*innen sehr profitabler Firmen, die Gewinn ggü. Investitionen bevorzugen. Die Regierung muss endlich ihre Prioritäten in den Griff bekommen.

I’ve posted this before but the light was perfect today- a little Victorian cat paw in a brick at the front of the old Norfolk & Norwich Hospital. As this is on the front-facing corner of the main gates, the bricklayer quite clearly put it there on purpose, at a height where children would spot it.

I wrote this 👇 before Bari Weiss became head of CBS News, before Trump suspended Kimmel and cut funds to the Corp for Public Broadcasting, before Jared and Ellison tried to nab Warner/CNN. Not exactly encouraging! If we were watching this media takeover in any other country we'd call it tyranny.
I've been saying to friends for a few months that the more I study authoritarianism in other countries, the more concerned I become that the CBS story is the sleeping giant here. The process has been a simmer (people inside the network have spoken out in real-time) but don't mistake slow for safe.
One of the first things Vladimir Putin did on becoming president was take over NTV, the TV channel that hosted a satirical puppet show because he didn't like the Putin doll and how he was portrayed. He arrested NTV's owner and only released him when he signed the channel over. #Colbert
