GitHub's "use AI or find a new job" message to devs gets a sharp, witty riposte in this. If your study actually shows AI doesn't save time, boost productivity, or bolster skills, just move the proverbial goalposts to an entirely different field – and hope the players don't notice! https://nibblestew.blogspot.com/2025/08/lets-properly-analyze-ai-article-for.html
Let's properly analyze an AI article for once

Recently the CEO of Github wrote a blog post called Developers reinvented . It was reposted with various clickbait headings like  GitHub CEO...

Gentle reminder to folks who post any text (including styling your name to make it look "cool") using mathematical unicode characters that said characters are not read well by screen readers. They will either be read as nothing, or each letter will be spoken with "sans seraph italic" before it.

I love that this post is doing Masto numbers, so please continue to boost...

I've only heard the new Donkey Kong title spoken and had no idea they were forcing such a pun.

I'm not against a forced pun myself mind you. Yesterday I was playing Espresso Tycoon and when I saw I could choose the radiation symbol as a logo I quickly decided to call my coffee van 'Chai-nobyl'

Amazing to see the signatures flood in for the Stop Killing Games movement. A couple of weeks ago it looked doomed; but with a little bit of drama snowballing it looks like both the UK and EU will have to take notice.

I see I am in the minority here but I'm not thrilled about the Bond news.

Denis' films are gorgeous to look at, technically wondrous but Christ they can be dull. I'm a big fan of Dune, the books, Lynch's film, the games etc but it took me multiple goes to get through the new films.

I like Bond films to have some fun in them and I really don't remember having fun in a Villeneuve film.

Denis Villeneuve is set to direct the next James Bond film for Amazon MGM Studios, the studio abruptly announced on Wednesday.

If I had a nickel for every Roland Emmerich film that ended with an alien staring at the countdown of a nuclear device which has been smuggled onto their ship before it explodes in a circular shockwave in orbit... I would have 2 nickels. Now that's not very many, but it's weird that it happened twice.
