nearly thirty years ago i saw a guy stand up in an all hands staff meeting, declare "this is stupid", walk out and never come back, and friends, there's not a single day of 2026 I haven't thought of him

And it’s time for my fourth and final #MARCHintosh project for 2026, TalkCrawler AD. It’s an After Dark Module for TalkCrawler that will let you watch #GlobalTalk leisurely scroll past in one of two different styles

There is a standalone version as well if you don't want to install After Dark

Note you will need to run a re-scan in TalkCrawler Lite 1.4 (just released) before it can show anything

Available on landisk/Blackbird on BaroNet. Video in first reply.

I've criticized — a *lot* — Python and the Python ecosystem writ large for its insufficient opposition to and even outright adoption of AI.

But I want to make one thing absolutely clear as I do so: I don't recommend ditching Python, nor do I endorse or co-sign any calls to do so. I make the critique *because* I don't think we should ditch Python, but because Python is an amazing tool with a community that has repeatedly shown a willingness to do better tomorrow than yesterday.

@kalleboo : This new After Dark screensaver for the #GlobalTalk network is wild! And you added a bunch of custom icons? Outstanding!

I'm sure that the original developers from Berkeley Systems would probably love seeing a new screensaver module written nearly **four decades** after the software's introduction. #marchintosh

Feeling called out and personally attacked by this #GlobalTalk print job…

The nice thing about making software that deeply scratches your own itch is that every time you use it forever after you're just immediately reminded of why you made it in the first place

Timberborn is insidious. Every time I think I'm done for the night, I go sit on the couch and while watching TV I'll think "OH BUT WHAT IF I just dam the whole left side of the map and split the flow there" and go back in.

And then, as usual, I blink and 4 hours pass.

It's a good game.
