I figured out the last annoying details in replacing the old school PowerPC software stack for creating music for Sega Saturn games! Now you can not only create your own music using midi and convert it to the SEQ format, but also create your own sound samples and convert it to a TON file! Published today here: https://github.com/jfsantos/mid2seq. (project name will change to reflect everything it does now, and I will also probably also move it to Codeberg).

It's easy to make fun of people under 25 for making thrifting and gardening/farming and foraging into pop trends, but to paraphrase my niece:

"older clothes fit better, feel nicer, look cooler, are cheaper, and cost less.

"You can alter them, you can decorate them, you can get clout for finding extremely cool shit

"My friends and I don't understand why anyone would buy new clothes. Fast fashion is destroying the world, and everything it makes sucks."

So there. The kids are alright.

My #Wikipedia request for comment just closed, finally banning #AI content in articles! "The use of LLMs to generate or rewrite article content is prohibited"

Kudos to all who participated in writing the guideline (especially Kowal2701) and the whole WikiProject AI Cleanup team, this was very much a group effort!

Given the state of the world here's some good news. Not only Ukraine has stopped Russian advances on several fronts in the last few weeks, but they reversed them in some places too. Additionally they are largely doing so using cheap weapons designed and manufactured in Ukraine instead of relying on Western weapons:

Ukraine has been imposing increasing challenges on Russia at the tactical, operational, and strategic levels since the beginning of 2026.
