Paavo takes a deep dive in Why Cities: Skylines 2 performs poorly. Fascinating! And the last paragraph made me smile.

Cosmopolitan is a neat project that enables compiling a C program into a fat binary – a single executable file that runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows. Build once, run anywhere. Congrats, and thanks for all your work, Justine! 🎉
After a year of development, I've just published Cosmopolitan v3.0. The release notes are here. Now featuring arm support, fat binaries, and improved windows polyfills. justine.lol/cosmo3/
The Pictorial C64 Fault Guide is such a great idea. A bunch of photos of the Commodore 64 in various problem states, along with descriptions, known causes, and how to fix them. I want this for all my devices!
Even though Apple’s pirating days are long over, and they are no doubt the navy now, it still warms my heart to catch a quick glance of the old Jolly Roger while catching up on last night’s Scary Fast event. 🏴☠️
This ASCII playground by ertdfgcvb is a lot of fun! tixy.land, but for ASCII.
The video shows a looping animation of a rotating square, rendered as ASCII art. The source code for the program responsible for the ASCII animation, written in JavaScript, is also shown.
Diversity is a good thing! Even if Apple claims the opposite when it comes to browser engines on iOS. When every browser runs WebKit, exploits like iLeakage put everyone at risk. Thanks for keeping us “safe”, Apple! 🙃
We present iLeakage, a transient execution side channel targeting the Safari web browser present on Macs, iPads and iPhones. … [W]e demonstrate how Safari allows a malicious webpage to recover secrets from popular high-value targets, such as Gmail inbox content. Finally, we demonstrate the recovery of passwords, in case these are autofilled by credential managers.
Ikväll är det skräcktema på Asecs Book Club och författarsamtal med världens bästa Sanna Lund. 👻 Kom förbi om du är i Jönköping! 📚
Internet Artifacts is such a fun trip down memory lane. 🥹 Neal’s websites never disappoint.
Two days ago, I was too slow. Yesterday I sucked at Really Bad Chess. But today I finally got one of the 500 keys. Yay! 🥳 Puzzmo is imagining a better newspaper games page.
Matt has been shopping again.
Texts is a fun application (desktop only for now) that brings all of your messages into one inbox. It currently supports iMessage, WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, Messenger, X/Twitter DMs, Instagram DMs, LinkedIn, Slack, and Discord DMs, with more on the way soon.
I was sooooo close to getting a key to Puzzmo (the new place for thoughtful puzzles) today. 🕹️ Like, the last key disappeared ~10 seconds before I solved the puzzle. 😩 Yes, there are only 500 keys released each day, and yes, you have to solve a puzzle to get a key. I’ll get one tomorrow! 😅
🆕 My plug-ins, Conversation on Micro.blog and Reply by email, have just been updated to support HTML in link texts. So now you can be creative and add fancy icons to them. In the example below, I’m using icons from the Font Awesome project. Check out the README for instructions.
If you’re fan of the soundtrack in Super Mario Bros. Wonder you should tune in to Smooth McGroove. Here’s his rendition of DuckTales – The Moon. 🎵
I wasn’t the only one who thought that McGroove might’ve been part of the new Mario game, but he confirmed back in June that he wasn’t involved.
Huh! I always assumed Goombas bumped Mario to death, but now we know better. Thanks for clarifying, Miyamoto-san, and for passing on the information, Sato-san.
I heard that someone once asked Miyamoto-san why Mario takes damage when he bumps into a Goomba from the side in the original Super Mario Bros. game. Apparently, he answered, "It's because the Goombas bite him." … Yes, and when they bite you, they'll do it with a smile on their face! (Laughs)
Anh’s website is absolutely gorgeous and oozing with personality. And how cool is it that the homepage is a comic explaining why one should have their very own home on the web?! 😍 Take a moment and read it in full, and then explore the rest of Anh’s site.
Look at all those beautiful magazine covers. 🤤 The Whole Earth Catalog is probably something I would have been into had I been living in America in the 70s. Access to tools, ideas, and practices!
Here lies a nearly-complete archive of Whole Earth publications, a series of journals and magazines descended from the Whole Earth Catalog, published by Stewart Brand and the POINT Foundation between 1970 and 2002. They are made available here for scholarship, education, and research purposes.

The energy in the crowd makes me wish I were there! And the set list evokes so much nostalgia for this old millennial. One of the commenters nails the vibe:
Basically my doctors office playlist 🔥
I love how Sanna’s and my internal clocks are so different. Like when she’s facetiming me from a dark hotel room, already in bed and half asleep, at 21.46, I answer from a lit kitchen, coffee in hand, headphones pumping music, while prepping French farmhouse soup for tomorrow. 😂
Here’s a brilliant Edgar Allan Poe rap from Elle. 🐦⬛
You know you’re on to something great when calculating the value of your “insurance fund” involves calling numpy.random.normal. 😅
The prosecution shows that the "insurance fund" that FTX bragged about was fake, and just calculated by multiplying daily trading volume by a random number around 7500

I really enjoyed State of the Browser the other weekend. All the talks were lovely, but/and @Amy_Hupe’s It all means nothing in the end was a delightful surprise. It wasn’t about states or browsers, but a fascinating perspective on burnout, purpose, and making meaning. See it!
