Two games. Two losses. Out of the World Cup. Türkiye's stats were misleading and so was our optimism. When you build a squad around favoritism and politics instead of merit, this is what you get. No surprises. Just a small reflection of the bigger picture.
Before the game: "We will dominate, we have more talent."
After losing 2-0: "We did dominate. We just didn't score."
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. A team that can't diagnose its own problems can't fix them. #TURAUS #FIFAWorldCup2026
Qatar 🇶🇦 with a last minute, hard-earned equalizer against Switzerland! What a way to steal a point from the group favorite. Congrats! #FIFAWorldCup2026 ⚽
#FIFAWorldCup 2026 is about to start. Watching alone, yet somehow not. ⚽
Adem döndü sonra Havva'ya
"Hmm ne güzelmiş bu elma"
Adem bir müddet düşündü sonra
"Elma değil bu yediğimiz galiba?" (ayva)

Maybe I should start an IRC channel again.

🏀 Had so much hope for the Rockets in Game 6. Huge disappointment. 😔 #NBA
🏀 The 76ers are in the second round after an incredible Game 7 tonight. What a comeback from 3-1 down, and a long-awaited win against the Celtics. 49 years in the making. Go get them 76ers! 🔔 #NBA
Gemini is decent for everyday purposes, but it has a dealbreaker. To keep your chat history, you must allow Google to use your data to train their models. #AI
Cancelled GitHub Copilot Pro. Frustrated by the mid-cycle removal of Opus, the move to opaque token-based accounting, and the sudden sign-up freeze. Coding shouldn't feel like a billing exercise. Also fed up with the dark design patterns of invasive workspace indexing.
Formula 1 returns to Istanbul! Istanbul Park has been included in the Formula 1 calendar for a minimum of five years, starting in 2027. 🇹🇷 🏎️ 🏁
🏀 Up 6 with 30 seconds left, ball in their hands, and they still blew it in the most critical game of the playoffs. 0-3. Great job, Rockets. #NBA
Microsoft slashed Game Pass prices because the 'activision tax' hike failed. The backlash worked. Hold the line, gamers.
Gökhan Sarıçam has arrived! 🇹🇷 A spectacular knockout to start his journey in the Octagon. Welcome to the UFC!
I’ve noticed lately that I prefer the simplicity of a chess board to my video game library full of hundreds of untouched, high-production-value titles, though I’m not quite ready to admit it to myself. Not sure if that’s part of getting older.
Must-watch short animation on addiction: “Kiwi tastes a golden nugget. It's delicious.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HUngLgGRJpo
🏀 The Rockets versus Timberwolves game on March 25, 2026 was a total rollercoaster and one of the most enjoyable matchups of the season. Alperen Sengun was unstoppable. He was a fighter. #NBA
🌔 Back on the Moon after 50+ years — excited for NASA’s Artemis II, launching April 1. https://www.bbc.com/news/resources/idt-86aafe5a-17e2-479c-9e12-3a7a41e10e9e
"Chuck Norris got bit by a cobra and the cobra died." I lived the era of these jokes.
RIP. You're a Texas legend forever.

Those were the days — I could enjoy a simple gaming session without guilt or self-imposed pressure.

Best response I’ve ever seen to all that no-context crap.
"But what good came of it at last?"
Quoth little Peterkin.
"Why that I cannot tell," said he,
"But 'twas a famous victory."

Resident Evil Requiem is the new hot topic. I beat RE2 Remastered (half already on my channel), and RE3 + RE4 are still in my “someday” list. Looking forward to RE4. #gaming
Tried CoD: WWII tonight after years of keeping it on my “someday” list. Loved WaW on PS3, my only CoD, but WWII just didn’t click. Did I change, did my expectations change, or is this game just… shallow, boring, and empty?
One-channel B&W TV.
Encyclopedias.
No phone. Landline.
Color TV. Multiple channels.
Computer, no modem. Modem, no internet.
Internet. Altavista. IRC. Google. Social media.
Mobile phones, smartphones.
LLMs. Agentic AI.
In my short lifetime, I’ve seen worlds change.
Just noticed Volvo no longer sells sedans in the U.S. Another sign of how weird things have gotten.
Just shipped reactions! You can now express yourself on posts with a quick emoji response. No words needed, sometimes a 👍, ❤️, or 😂 says it all. Give it a try!
Bu alemden göç edişinin beşinci yıl dönümünde babamı rahmetle, özlemle anıyorum.
Sony, PlayStation'a özel bazı önemli oyunlarını 2020 yılından itibaren belirli bir gecikmeyle PC'ye de çıkarmaya başlamıştı. Buna son vereceklermiş. Ticari beklentiler karşılanmamış anladığım kadarıyla. Oyun dünyasında böyle bir dönem de yaşanmış bitmiş olacak. #oyun_gundemi
For the record: Roma vs #Juventus from March 1 was a top-tier game. Great goals throughout. One for the archives. ⚽️
Dost Kayaoğlu kanser olduğunu açıklamış. Üzüldüm. Sağlığına kavuşmasını gönülden diliyorum.

Geliştirdiğim ve şahsen de kullandığım görev ve zaman yöneticisi uygulaması Masterlist'in Android'de bulunmayışının eksikliğini yaşıyorum. Bugün kişisel bir görevin hatırlatıcısını fark etmediğim için birçok zorluk yaşadım.
I hadn’t touched my side project for 20 months while finishing my second Master’s and working full-time. Tonight I brought it back: CocoaPods → SPM, minimum iOS raised from 12 to 15, dependencies modernized, issues fixed. Tech debt paid off. Release soon. 🚀
Why isn't coding tutorial content consumed as much anymore? Mr. Schwarzmüller lists three reasons:
1. Short attention spans (very high TikTok/Shorts consumption)
2. Post-pandemic downturn in the software development job market
3. #AI advancements

One of the most disgraceful decisions I’ve seen from a referee: a ridiculous red card to Kelly in tonight's game between Juventus and Galatasaray. Read for details: https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/articles/cj32yy0vn3xo #soccer #champsleague
Apple's Houston factory will produce Mac minis in the U.S. for the first time. They’re also ramping up AI server manufacturing and training, which will create thousands of jobs. Proud to see high-tech production right here in the Lone Star State! 🤠 https://apple.co/3OAQS75
After working late into the night for multiple days and delivering my work, I'm feeling drained. Tonight, I'm taking a well-deserved break!
