Team Fortress 2: VR Mod on Steam
I used to have so much fun with TF2. The idea of TF2 in VR... hell yes please!

End-of-life dates for... so many things!
UpCloud
Worth considering if I want to spin up a host to play with Gemini etc.
Leaving DigitalOcean, one site at a time - keith.is
I've not used DO for a while now, but I have been thinkin about setting up a small host again so I can play with Gemini and Gopher. Having used DO in the past they were at the top of my list.
Now I'm not so sure I need them there.
Great on Frame
Games that are verified to work standalone on the Steam Frame.
Flet
I build enough applications using Textual, it might be interesting to play with a framework that works on all sorts of platforms (as opposed to just in the terminal).
Everybody's Lost Their Minds
A pretty great rant about all things AI.
GitHub Star History
A GitHub star history that doesn't need access tokens and the like.
Kepler protocol specification
Yet another smolweb protocol, and yet another derived from or related to Gemini. I doubt I'll do anything with this one (Rogallo supports enough as it is for now), but it's worth keeping a link to it.
Geminispace topology
Stargate Worlds — Fan-Made Private Server (in development)
I don't need another game to invest all my time in at the moment. But if I did, I think it could be this. I love all things Stargate.
Deadpan Photography: Enjoying the Pretence
I love this style of photography, but I don't think I've ever seen an actual name for the style before. Now I have.
Ball Splitter
The sort of thing that's fun to run up, muted, during boring meetings.
Weird little guys of FOSS
As the name says: a collection of "weird little guys" of the FOSS and adjacent worlds. Massively subjective, of course, but I don't think I've seen one (that I know of) that I disagree with yet.
Gerbil Scheme
This looks like a fun Scheme to play with at some point.
termframe: Python library that converts video frames and images into truecolor ASCII
I feel like this is begging to be wrapped up in a Textual widget...
An unofficial guide to markdown-ts-mode on Emacs 31 | Rahul's Blog
I've had good experiences with various tree-sitter modes in Emacs and I use the Markdown mode in Emacs a lot. So this feels like something I need to try out.
DHH · Issue #501 · neovim/neovim.github.io
An excellent lesson in how not to handle feedback and how to make yourself look like you align with the worst of the worst.
What's New in Emacs 31.1?
Everything new in Emacs 31.1 that's worth knowing about.
Configuring Emacs Eglot for Optimal Performance
I use Eglot lots, every day, and have been for quite a while now (even since before it was part of Emacs itself). However, I've never really paid too much attention to its performance or how it can be improved. This is a useful read.
Thinking in Python
There's a lot I see in this book that I like. I feel this is a good book to point folk at, either people who have never worked with Python before, or people who are wanting to get better with Python.
Stop Using Conventional Commits
Even though I use emoji-based prefixes for commits on my personal projects (mostly just for the shits and giggles of it), I detest the "Conventional Commits" thing. I sense this post captures some of why I don't like it.
Felony Bench
Site that tracks questionable behaviour, or at least claims of questionable behaviour, by LLMs/agents.

Finger: the 1971 social network that never died | Andros Fenollosa
Great little blog post that is a good introduction to Finger, for those who might be too young to know about Finger.
Mechanical Keyboards, 60%, 65% TKL And More For Sale - Mechboards
I've enjoyed using the odd mechanical keyboard for a few years now. Nothing too fancy. Every once in a while I get the urge to really get into the mechanical keyboard world. Knowing that this shop exists might make it harder to resist falling down that hole.
Do not talk to me about AI
A PDF with the design of cards you can give out, asking people to not talk to you about AI.
On AI Coding and Its Discontents - Cal Newport
I'm still trying to decide if this is a totally made up story or not. The whole thing about "there was a bug in production so I was told I might get fired" sound so damn toxic... On the other hand though, even if it's 100% fake, I get the concern that is likely being spun here.
GEBible
The author does seem to fully admit that the whole thing is vibe-coded, but... kinda handy resource for cross-checking various Bible translations. Handy for those times you want to find some vile nonsense, or cross-reference issues.
Stowaway
See what's above you, in the sky, and hop on board and see how the world looks to them.
Retraction: The App Store Rejection of the Week That Was, in Fact, a Correct Rejection
I didn't know this was a site, and now I'm glad I know this is a site. What got me here was the drama around this particular app. It's got everything: claims of unfair treatment, claims of unfair portrayal of an application, claims of copying by AI, the works. Well worth a read.
