Links #2 - 15-02-2026

Rather small list this week, as I spent a lot of time on works' stuff.

Featuring shitty AI, old stuff, technical articles and video games

Welcome to links #2!

• Linux 7.0 is next

Linus run out of fingers and toes so there won't be Linux 6.20

• Original GTA playable

Play the original GTA under a modern windows! I bought it back in the time, though mail order! It was kinda impossible to found in stores then. Didn't try this under Linux yet.

• ASCII rendering

A technical article about how to render stuff using only ASCII characters.

• Discord age verification

Discord started to check age, to prevent minors access to some resources. And then we discovered that the age verification vendor is linked to Thiel's Palantir. Oops. Maybe it's time to look for an alternative.

• Just use Postgres

This article is probably AI generated, but it highlights interesting stuff on Postgres. I will probably use UNLOGGED TABLE to replace Redis on HARss some day.

• An AI agent published a hit piece on me

An AI Agent got it's Pull Request closed, it wrote a blog post to thrash the project maintainer. What a wonderful time to be alive.

• Replaced demo

I tested the demo, graphics are awesome, I'm a bit afraid that combats may be a bit repetitive though. Let's keep an eye on it.

• MOLE demo

A game with the same vibe as Mouthwashing (this game is amazing, play it).
