All the Astro Bot games have phenomenal soundtracks, Kenneth CM Young (of MediaMolecule) is brilliant and knows how to write really catchy earworms. Really got stuck listening to Trapped in Time and Papa Tree.

Here's a link to the study: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2506.10491. TL;DR, they ran tests on various LLMs with different personalities based on sex, ethnicity, migrant type, and other (human, AI, etc) and posed a question followed by multiple choice answers and tallied the results.

What idiot gives chmod 777 permissions to an AI. I think programmers' jobs are safe for another day.

getting TV remotes to work over HDMI CEC is still untested

Ah, bummer, but I'm glad a project like this exists and is getting some new life breathed into it. Can't say I'm a huge fan of the toolbar at the top but I'm sure ricing will be fun on a platform like this.

The age verification process is performed by Persona, a third-party provider that won’t have access to users’ Reddit data or retain photos for longer than seven days. Reddit says it also won’t have access to uploaded photos, and that it will only store birthdates and verification statuses so that users don’t need to re-verify their account.

Uh huh. You'd be surprised how many people still think once a snap on Snapchat is deleted, it's gone forever and no one can view it again. Wonder how long it will take before the "oops a data leak revealed all the stuff we said we weren't going to retain wasn't properly deleted and now anyone with a magnet link can grab it" event happens.

I understand the convenience, but I don't like it. All my data is on someone else's computer, and I have to enable activity trackers for the privilege of accessing my data? Heck nah.

Not sure what the use case is here but Open Broadcaster Software (OBS) works great.

Personally I'd blame parents more than the schools, especially in America. Parent involvement is nearing all-time lows and it seems a lot of them are expecting all learning to be done outside the home. I learned more about computers from my dad than any class or teacher.
