I still can't believe they were handed a strong economy and are just hell bent on tipping it over because...they want to?

Seattle area folks: it's here. Get your titers checked and/or a booster if you need one.

Here are some cute feel good photos for you today. 😊😻

I get really irked when I see people post “indies will save us” or “the laid off devs should go indie” THERE IS NO MONEY publishers are cancelling contracts, angel investors/venture capital don’t want small returns. I think they mean hobbyists with a day job working doubletime & that is a rough ask

as a snapjaw I do not like to brag (ahem), but we believe Caves of Qud is a novel work of language-driven science fiction, and that it should be considered for the 2025 Nebula Award for Best Game Writing!!

Access to abortion information is being suppressed online, so we’re collecting stories of digital censorship to hold platforms accountable. #StopCensoringAbortion

Folks, I can’t stress this enough: Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit! Lock your credit!

I can’t remember where I read this, but it’s important: Why is it that when people think about traveling to the past, they worry about doing something small that will drastically change the present, but no one in the present thinks that doing something small today can drastically change the future?

New free synth Alarm. Rippler X is a free, open-source, and lightweight physical modeling synthesizer that runs flawlessly on all three major platforms. If you’re familiar with Chromaphone or the Modal Engine from Pigments, you’ll feel right at home. #synthsky - youtu.be/jru6u-uyoiE

I sure am glad that I have to add “before:2022” to every single google search to avoid having to wade through inflated GPT-written articles repeating the same information over and over.

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models. In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

I kinda can't conceptualize how much of a pussy this man is to throw his Indian wife and children under the bus to defend a racist 25-year old that his sugardaddy hired. That's like one of those things where if I ever met a person like that IRL, I'd just throw trash at them.

2022: I hate inflation 2023: I hate inflation 2024: I hate inflation 2025: Here's why tariffs are necessary

Wall Street on tariff policy:

Please let 2025 be the year of all game devs adding text scaling into their games.

I think modern computer software was a mistake and we should go back to our roots of developing for limited hardware. The same amount of electricity that could power MS-DOS for a year is now used to ask Copilot how to save a Word document to your local Desktop instead of OneDrive.

The best trade of the 2020s so far has been going long grifters, charlatans, liars and cheats I cannot wait for this trade to blow up in spectacular fashion (it always does)

Wishing everyone a meaningful MLK, Jr. Day.

There is going to be an ungodly amount of financial fraud committed over the next 4 years

COMPUTER SCIENTISTS: "k" means one thousand and twenty-four STORAGE MANUFACTURERS: "k" means one thousand DISPLAY MANUFACTURERS [thinking hard]: "K" means nine hundred and sixty

If you’re planning on watching any Lynch, my advice is: don’t watch any analysis videos, don’t think about what stuff is “supposed” to mean, just get your own unique experience from it!! I think people have become far too concerned with the “correct” interpretations of media. Just experience it!!!

Platforms shouldn’t silence people for drawing attention to the influence those platforms, and other large companies, have.

periodically I look around at the state of the internet and the way it is clearly contributing to making the world worse in so many ways, and I think back to dicking around in a computer lab in the early 00s and how full of promise it all felt, and I feel sad it didn't have to be this way

Just wild to think back how 15 years ago it was a massive cost and headache to figure out how to have source control and code reviews. Today, the answer is obvious: GitHub How GitHub solved a massive pain point plus won in a competitive industry is nothing short of incredible

The IBM Roadrunner was the first supercomputer with more than one petaflop performance. First operational in 2008 it was built for Los Alamos at a cost of over $100 million. In May of 2025, NVIDIA will release DIGITS, a desktop super computer, rated at over one petaflop with a price of about $3000.

Sorry AI bros. I ain't even close to being done. musictech.com/news/music/b...

Games that will be 30 this year include: Chrono Trigger Command & Conquer Yoshi's Island Time Crisis Full Throttle Star Wars: Dark Forces Twisted Metal Panzer Dragoon Donkey Kong Land Wipeout Worms Tekken 2 Secret of Evermore Phantasmagoria I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream 1995. What a year!

The ideal situation for Meta is that you are trapped in an endless maze of advertising impressions in search of the thing you swear you used to be able to see or do on Instagram or Facebook. Them showing you it is a problem. They're doing what Google Search did but with people instead of websites.

A passage from the Tao that’s frequently worth revisiting.

btw you can often watch entire 1920s films without leaving the wikipedia article

This may be an "old woman yells at cloud" moment, but I genuinely do miss when a game just released fully and that was it. No extra DLC content, no micro transactions, etc. Just buying the game and you get the ENTIRE experience in box.

This is what you do when you are making something everybody wants

In 1659, the the Puritans in Massachusetts enacted a law that declared that Christmas was sacrilege and exchanging of gifts, greetings, and wearing fine clothing on that day was Satanic. Anyone caught celebrating was fined 5 shillings. (About 5 days wages.) The "War on Christmas" was an inside job.

I suspect new development in Miami has skewed condo rather than rental for a long time for other reasons but I wonder if as climate risk increases, it’s skewing even more toward condo so developers can offload as much of that risk to condo buyers as possible www.miamiherald.com/news/local/e...
