Did you know one of the first games released by the developers of the STALKER series (GSC Game World) was a Warcraft 2 overhaul where they added aliens and nukes
A walk through a modern apartment, through the eyes of the people for whom everything in it was new.
A fun little experiment, comparing a rather average modern apartment with quotations from recent historical eras where the simplest modern conveniences would have been unthinkably rich.
The Last Museum is a semantic search engine for 5.8 million artworks from the world's great museums. Search by theme, style, subject, or any description you can imagine.
Warning that this feels like LLMs are involved but at least the art is not generated at all. Still, could be useful as a search engine for historical art.
Free film archive of solidarity and struggle!
This assistant provides the most important benefits of LLM assistants without the associated environmental costs, privacy risks, and economic brinksmanship.

The first stop is removing the toolbar and the sidebar, and any other bars. The second is switching to the icon view, and picking the right window dimensions.

Lovely little collection of Mac install windows. h/t to waxy.org.
Neverclick uses on-device computer vision to label everything clickable with keyboard hints, so you can navigate any app without touching a mouse.
intriguing. and I appreciate the dev being honest about the AI usage (sounds like extremely minimal). The program itself does not use any LLMs as far as I can tell, no phone-homes. as a big fan of "hands stay on keyboard" I like this idea.
Really fun technical breakdown of all the computers in Jurassic Park (1993). I love this stuff.
One man's website all about the stickers that you can find on fruit. Astounding. h/t to Laura.
Each laptop tells a story through its stickers.
Fun little internet curiosity. I love the different ways that people customize their laptops. I should post an update to my own on the big blog sometime soon...
A parallel web updated through physical media.
This looks very cool! Interesting idea. Sort of like a federated... internet? I think? seems cool.
This is a virtual museum of operating systems (and standalone applications) running under emulation, implemented as a Linux VM for QEMU, VirtualBox, or UTM.
Incredibly cool resource. I will probably download this later.
