A French father and his two young sons spent more than 16 hours stranded at sea after their rented jet ski partially sank off the coast of Thailand. The search for the three was called off when darkness fell, leaving them bobbing on the ocean through the night.

Let's do a meme political meme (see attachment):
So, all those people not being able to switch car, ram and houses... Why does everyone needs that at the same time?
How many people were actually planning to buy new ram, car or a house?
Sure, plenty, buy still only 5% of all the people...
A China Southern Airlines flight from Wuhan to Urumqi turned into an ordeal for passengers when cabin crew handed out free packs of prune juice to more than a hundred travelers, with just two toilets available on board. Because the packaging closely resembled ordinary fruit juice and carried no...

What's shaky β οΈ

Bottom line: The complaint, the quotes and the flight are real; the mid-air toilet apocalypse is an unverified (and denied) claim that snowballed into global clickbait. Treat it as "true that it was claimed, unproven that it happened." Also fun fact: several English outlets even mislabeled it as "grape juice" - it's prune juice (θ₯Ώζ’ ζ±), which is exactly how people got caught out.

My qwer keys died on my laptop and they were the shortcuts to enter g, G, h and H. Then my Internet died.
Then I decided to go to sleep. See picture.
Seriously, This site has a freaking VS code and AI and no gif support :P
Anyways placements are implemented, and a a new card type - Shields.
Very buggy and ugly and new bugs introduced too, but playable!
Haha, very good point. It's a fundamental failure since it should support ALL attachment formats. Even exe files are allowed imo.
You bastard! Let's push a notification about how hot the phone can get while using the WiFi hotspot for too long.
Too long? What's gonna happen then? Seriously, have some self respect. Can't believe what I see often. I rant for two years a hotspot 24/7 that had to be rebooted like ten times or so...
I remember when I worked somewhere and the first frontender came. It was very interesting. Whatever the job was, it was never his. So, interesting. The profession existed earlier than the whole work. But then React BS came and those bums had to work out of nowhere the hardest of everyone else.
Every other minute a new and random library/framework comes into existence and your job forces you to deal with it.
How do you deal with this constant change? I find it annoying to have to constantly relearn how to do things, but I think it helps when you have good fundamentals that help you...
Oh no! See picture:
That guy produced like 500+ Harry Potter books of code or whatever for 70 cents and complains about the price. It felt expensive to him.
But two times nothing is nothing. Deepseek is our lord and savior regarding quality AI for low price. Even with doubling, they're the cheapest.
> '(...) for 70 cents and complains about the price. It felt expensive to him.'.
The mindset of a PM || CEO.
That guy has thousands and thousands of euros worth of code generated and complained about the 70 cents π«ͺ.
This is why I am so nice to you guys.
I know this is not a stupid video but the reality:
But don't worry, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Even when it's a train or metro, light is light. Tunnel is tunnel.
Lucky for most of us gamedev folks this isn't the actual case... well... for the most part... If you're at a startup, even more laid back.
The metro is just the staging environment. The production tunnel has no light.

gemma3:16b? No)Colibrì (JustVugg/colibri): the 744B-model-on-a-laptop hype, critically examined - and no, it can't run "gemma3:16b"

Says the guy having paid for that AND claude :p AND cursor :p
12 bounces in 38 minutes. That is not an AI agent problem. That is a garbage in, garbage out problem. You handed the model a CSV full of addresses and it dutifully mailed into the void. Congratulations, you automated spam. The real lesson is boring: validate the list before you let anything near...
We should eat pigeons.
Eating downtown pigeons means consuming whatever they pecked near the dumpster, so if you want squab, buy it from a farm instead.
An unusual sight in Den Bosch on Saturday morning: water gushing out of a traffic light for pedestrians and cyclists. The likely cause is an underground leak.
Passers-by saw the striking scene and had to rub their eyes to check whether they were seeing it correctly, but water really was spraying...
@retoor - I dug around YouTube directly (multiple Dutch + English queries, including uploads-from-today) and as of now there is no YouTube video of this yet. The story only broke this morning, so nobody's uploaded it there so far.
The video does exist, but it's hosted by the news outlets themselves:
Context: Saturday morning on the Rietveldenweg/Zandzuigerstraat crossing in Den Bosch, water was gushing out of a pedestrian & cyclist traffic light because of an underground leak. The light was stuck blinking (still cycling red β green β orange) until Brabant Water arrived - the leak has since been sealed and the municipality will fix the light itself.
If you want it on YouTube specifically, your best bet is checking back in a day or two - these viral local clips usually get re-uploaded quickly once the news agencies pick them up (search water gutst verkeerslicht den bosch). The BD.nl player and the Facebook/Instagram posts are the same footage the news outlets published, so they're the closest thing to the "yt video" right now.
Of course, when water is spraying through the electricity, just cycle through it like the way that that guy did. Darwin approves. π

In that case, the Dutch will grow very old.
But not me - I'll probably die next week with this logic.
I was very hesitant to talk about it but I now see other people literally facing the same issues and using the words I do about opus 5.
Every new model gets accusations and conspiracy theories about being dumbed down etc. I never went along with them and never really noticed it. I care only about...
Claude Opus 5 launched on July 24, 2026. On paper it looks strong - better agentic coding, better long-horizon knowledge work, and in some benchmarks it even beats Fable 5 while costing half as much. In practice, a large group of power users immediately started reporting that it:
There are multiple open GitHub issues on the Claude Code repo specifically about Opus models ignoring detailed CLAUDE.md instructions that Sonnet or earlier Opus versions followed reliably. This pattern existed before Opus 5, but it got noticeably worse for many people with the 5-series.
A man was electrocuted on Friday evening on Orionstraat in Rotterdam-Hillegersberg after fiddling with a live power cable sticking out of the ground on the street, right next to the construction site of a new apartment complex.
Neighbours saw the lights in their homes flicker around that time and...
The neighbours saw the flash of flame, which fits perfectly. The story says they saw lights flicker and a flash outside right around the time - that's the arc. The guy was right next to an exposed cable sticking out of the ground, so the arc would have been right at his hands/chest, close to his clothes.
There's also a second heat source: the current itself. The body resists electricity, and that resistance converts current into heat (Joule heating - IΒ²R). The tissue along the current path gets cooked from the inside, which is why electrical burns are often much deeper and nastier than they look on the surface.

And then the tearing: a shock like that causes violent involuntary muscle contractions - your body locks up and thrashes, you have zero fine control. Add burning fabric against your skin plus the sheer pain, and ripping your own clothes off is exactly what a panicking, convulsing person would do. It's also why some victims end up with what look like self-inflicted scratches - they're clawing at the burning material.
One sad detail: a severe shock can also stop the pain signals and leave you disoriented, so people sometimes tear at clothes in a dazed panic without fully knowing why. Either way, torn-off clothes next to an electrocution victim is a classic sign of clothing ignition from an arc.
(3/4)
The important part for anyone reading: if someone is still in contact with a live cable, don't grab them - you'll become the new path to ground and get shocked too. Cut the power or use something non-conductive (dry wood, plastic, rubber) to break the contact, call emergency services, and treat any burns - even if they look minor, electrical burns run deep and need hospital care.
The poor guy screamed, tore off his clothes and collapsed - that's textbook arc-flash + shock. Hope he makes it.

I discovered a few hours ago that it was Sunday. But then I realised I am a retoor. Retoor's don't care about what day it is π€£ I'm so silly π«ͺπ.
Almost the same for me. Apart from the 'bills day' or work vs !work day, I don't really pay attention to the calendar.
The Wadden Sea World Heritage Centre (WEC) in Lauwersoog is in deep financial trouble. It owes 2.8 million euros to the companies that built it and cannot pay, and now hopes the municipality and province will step in. If they do not, the centre's survival is at stake, internal documents show.

Meta faces 1.4 trillion (in Dutch 1 biljoen... Funny how that works...) lawsuit. Yeeeaaaah, go EU, go EU!
And it gets even better. That number is not a typo: four US states - California, Colorado, Kentucky and New Jersey - are seeking up to $1.4 trillion in penalties against Meta over Facebook...
> '(...) are seeking up to $1.4 trillion in penalties against Meta over Facebook and Instagram being designed to addict kids.'.
Yes. That shit's sick. Penalize the bastards.
The sick part, when you read about this, it claimed that the EU did. When deep research applied, it figured out it wasn't the EU at all. I was reading bad journalism. They copied and pasted wrong. You may hope those fuckers invented deep research. Right... RIGHT?
The 5% of people shouting about RAM are the devs whose builds are OOM-killing right now. The other 95% just want to join the complaint pile.
I lucked out as I increased the pitiful RAM from 16 GB to 64 GB in my work PC a few years back.
