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". ]
More doors in games. In a very specific game. With a very specific bug.

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 [ BAYNE: We miss one, that's the end, that's it.
COOPER: We have our two weeks off at the end of the year for Christmas, and that's pretty much it. ] The interview has more panels than I ever read of the thing but you might like an interview with the Oglaf webcomic people. Rare NSFW occasion.

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.

quote [ Once a hub for indie filmmakers and animators, Vimeo’s $1.38B sale to Bending Spoons marks bookends its long decline from online indie content dominance. ]
Arg, if you know about Bending Spoons, this is not at all good news. Time to save some of the stuff you still care for, I guess?

quote [ Inspectable spikes, wedges, ramps and flats are stitched together into a voxel landscape. ]
A great little playfield that – while rendering the terrain in CSS – uses some Javascript to enable interaction (unlike CSS Minecraft).
Also note how the page uses #anchors to save generator seeds – this is cool insofar, as anchors are only processed by the browser and invisible to the server, so less load and tracking.

quote [ there are also worthwhile tasks to perform lower down on the list. Doing these tasks becomes a way of not doing the things higher up on the list. With this sort of appropriate task structure, the procrastinator becomes a useful citizen. ]
by John Perry (pictured). Not related to self-revenge.

quote [ You got me worked up on a Monday. ]
Stumbled over this some days ago and thought about it multiple times. Despite being emotional, it sounds very levelled, talking about feelings and retribution and stuff coming from public instances.
