Comment on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time – Nintendo Direct 6.9.2026 in ~games
Ganymede LinkThe character design in the trailer does not inspire confidence. It looks like they took the first result for "i remake zelda in unreal engine 5" on YouTube and hired the designer. It's so ugly.The character design in the trailer does not inspire confidence. It looks like they took the first result for "i remake zelda in unreal engine 5" on YouTube and hired the designer.

Comment on Allbirds announces pivot from running shoes to AI compute; stock surged over 700% in ~tech

From my perspective this community was born out of waves of anti-reddit sentiment as the corporation abused its power to exploit human social life in service of extracting wealth. That destructive nature is the same in AI corporations, so I would expect tildes to have an antibody response to AI boosting that I just don't see much of.
I'm also sensitive to the topic, as most AI detractors are, and any misalignment of these values in a community I thought largely shared them feels particularly sharp.

Ganymede LinkHopefully a sign of the AI bubble popping soon, though I imagine that won't be a popular opinion on tildes.Hopefully a sign of the AI bubble popping soon, though I imagine that won't be a popular opinion on tildes.

I recommend anyone who has not seen the full show watch Star Trek: Starfleet Academy: Does It Make the Grade? by Steve Shives. It gives a breakdown of its plot and characters and gives a reasonable summary of its strengths and weaknesses.

Writing is tight, characters are layered and realistic, political machinations happen in the background and impact the minute to minute action of individuals.

Some Biblical scholars have calculated that the earth is around 6000 years old, using the genealogical information provided in Genesis. Some biblically illiterate scientists, however, disagree with this method of calculation, falsely predicting it to be 4.5 billion years old.

He's terrible at it and it's not very fun to watch, and at the end one of the contestants says something to the effect of "it's not surprising Jeremy can't recognize emotion", and I remember thinking he didn't look particularly amused by it.
I learned to program when I was a kid and for years I built a lot of stuff on the web, mostly PHP in those days. When I finally sat down to understand HTTP and TCP/IP it was like the layers of reality pealing back, so many things clicked into place. Just repeated moments of interconnected "a ha!" in my brain. It was nearly euphoric.
