Pixelfed leaks private posts from other Fediverse instances

“When following someone on a different server on the Fediverse, the remote server decides whether you are allowed to do so. This enables features like private accounts. Due to an implementation mistake, Pixelfed ignores this and allows anyone to follow even private accounts on other servers.”

"Landlord" is not a job.

Yeah, I'm going to spend the next two weeks catching a bunch of Pokémon for my kid, what of it?

I Can’t Handle Prestige TV

“But mostly, video games occupy the space in my life that a lot of people reserve for TV. Of the hundreds of games I’ve played and finished, many have moved me, but I’ve only found one or two genuinely upsetting. They seem to be a better fit for my psyche: I feel more relaxed playing a game than I do watching a show.”

I feel this in my bones.

Elon Musk Begs Tesla Staff Not to Sell Their Stocks

“Earlier this week, four top senior executives at Tesla dumped their stocks amidst an ongoing freefall caused by poor quarterly sales, tons of recalls, and global protests against CEO Elon Musk. Now, after the loss of some of his highest-moneyed investors, Musk is pleading with Tesla employees not to do the same.”

Desperate and pathetic.

Or use the ai apps they make.

Getting the impression that none of the tech bros behind ai apps actually read books, listen to music or look at art.

Just beat Mohg. Feels good.

I’ve seen a handful of comments about how the Core smartwatches can’t compete with Apple. They’re not trying to. The idea of “growth” in tech has warped people’s brains to the point where not only does someone have to “win”(?) but, to do so, they have to smash sales records, profits, etc. That is not the case here.

I want to play Silent Hill f.

It’s 2025 and I just pre-ordered a new Pebble watch.

Lego Pokémon are coming, first sets due in 2026

“The Pokémon brand already has a series of buildable toy sets with Mattel’s Mega Bloks and Mega Construx lines, but it appears that Lego’s taking over that business starting next year.”

We've been buying the Mega Blok sets recently and the quality is terrible all the way down, from the construction of the pieces themselves to the building instructions. I'm happy Lego is taking this over and I can't wait to see what the sets and minifigs will look like.

Users Cheer as Microsoft Accidentally Removes Hated AI Feature From Windows 11

“Microsoft said that it's working to address the issue, and reminded users that they can reinstall the Copilot app from the Microsoft Store and pin it to their taskbar in the meantime. But who actually wants to do that is unclear.”

Had a scary moment in Elden Ring yesterday where I thought my save with 40 hours of playtime was corrupted and now I don't know if I want to keep playing?

“It makes me so happy to see what appears to be a resurgence in people making websites. I am filled with joy every time I go to someone's personal space and see how they choose to express themselves. I want to do everything I can to inspire more and more people to follow suit, and I am grateful for projects like this that continually introduce me to fascinating people, fascinating perspectives, fascinating expressions of their humanity.”

This was such a fantastic interview, as expected. Keenan is one of the kindest, most genuine people you'll meet in your online travels.
