quote [ While there are a lot of caveats and limitations there, the fact that you could set up a speaker in your yard and conceivably store any amount of data in song birds is crazy. ]
This is about bits, not about IP over Avian Carriers. It's kind of about tunes in memory though.

quote [ Busy little devs elves have been hard at work these past couple of months crafting you some holiday cheer. Please enjoy a new game, toy, or demo each day. ]
This is great and links to recent years if you can't wait. First game is a cat climbing a christmas tree high enough before it topples and burns down the house. Which is fine, obvs.

quote [ Lowtech counters exclusivity. Lowtech is street level technology. ]
For R1Xhard – there are probably older lowtech/permacomputing manifestos, but this one from 1999 is still elegantly valid.

quote [ a chill, community-based alternative to the consumer chaos of retail's busiest weekend.
[…] Come to Firestorm's patio where there will be cute tents and also ✨ free ✨ hot apple cider! ] Even if you're not in [squints] Carolina events like these are a great way to spend Buy-Nothing Day not-shopping.

A friend of mine works for this outlet which was iniated by the regime protests of 2004/2005 as a news source in Ukrainian language which was then not widely spoken. It has editions in English and French and is run by Ukrainian editors in various countries. For people living abroad and people looking for current country news through the eyes of it's people, it's a pretty good source, I guess.

quote [ a bug caused by a door in a game you may have heard of called "Half Life 2". ]

quote [ Photographies numérisées du fonds C'était Paris en 1970 ]
Well, there's Paris and then there's Paris of course. Nice map, which is only the entrypoint for more old photographs, neatly categorized by quadrants, very much like an analog version of streetview.

quote [ increasingly I feel like we’re losing the will (and the means) to go exploring online. I decided to map just one of my recent rabbitholes, which started with a viral tiktok, and wound up weeks later at the end of a journey through power, gender, belief, and the economics of the internet. ]
That was interesting. Sorry for linking to PDFs, but it's about cults and marketing, neat personal research story.
