Vibe coding is working as expected: it'll kill the open-source, secure, and ideologically maintained alternatives to make sure you have to pay the oligarchs to do anything at all, and they can control what you're allowed to make. www.404media.co/vibe-coding-...

I just saw this instagram post from the incredibly talented and breathtakingly hilarious Kate Welch, who was laid off around a year ago, and I wanted to share it here. It’s an important message, and you deserve to read it: (thread)

"Ethical AI" does not exist. There is no reality where you can have generative AI that's "ethically trained". There are ZERO AI models trained ethically, and there will never be any. The term has been made up by people who want a pass on using AI. You don't get that pass, slop peddlers.

You asked and you shall receive! Now you better watch it cause it took me two days to make this! (unless you're really enjoying Windows 11) How to switch to Linux as a gamedev? www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKtN...

Today we mark #HolocaustMemorialDay. We commemorate the six million Jewish people murdered during the Holocaust, as well as trans and Queer people, Roma people, disabled people and many more.

there’s not a single person working in tech rn that hasn’t considered “what if I go live in a forest? What would be the logistics on that.”

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

looking to help out however I can as a fellow Midwesterner... I'd love to start producing emergency whistles en-masse, does anyone know of a distributor that I could ship to so they can be given away in cities that need them? reposts appreciated 💜 www.printables.com/model/417238...

I was so incredibly tired of all those sound generators that can only create retro sounds... so I created my own! It's a work in progress and it'll be part of a new project but enjoy some sounds I've made. Each of these took a minute tops! ✨

This is your friendly reminder to drink some water, eat some food, take your meds, stretch, exercise a little, engage in something that brings you joy, and love yourself.

If you are a game developer working on a modern military shooter and want to speak to me about Call of Duty being mentioned during this most recent ICE shooting, please reach out at gita at aftermath dot site. I am happy to keep you anonymous.

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list. They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

Game dev friends: are you using AI tools to write your code? (including AI autocomplete etc.)

I *despise* missing conversation in a game when I'm trying to focus on the gameplay. Having a chat log available is A+!

Today is the 10th anniversary of this gif of me showing how to make games on TV.

Sure they may look a bit unsettling, but they're a peaceful bunch really... Never bring anyone into their interconnected "paradise" community against their will. Hm? I suppose it IS a bit odd they show up out of nowhere knowing exactly when to hand someone their card. #art #fungi #mushroom #fantasy

I'll go yell at some kids to get off my lawn now

Razer CEO: "Gamers love AI, they just don't know it yet." Also Razer CEO: Can't answer a straightforward question "what are you playing". All you had to say was "I'm still obsessed with Civilization 6", end of sentence. But no, he had to pretend he was an intellectual. 🙄

I posted a recording of a talk by Cory Doctorow not too long ago, this essay is basically the same thing except targeted at Canadians but other countries have similar laws that could similarly be repealed. And it bears reiterating. pluralistic.net/2026/01/13/n...

Does anyone have a script prepared for how to write to Congress / Senate about getting ICE to fuck off from my state? I've never written to a politician's office before and I want to make sure I get it right.

Same story as the ozone layer! It was a huge issue at the time, but laws got set up to prevent further issues. You can just do that.

I sometimes need to be reminded that I'm an artist and can just will stuff into existence for the hell of it. So um, Chaos (Hades 2) as a crow, because no one can stop me. #Art #Illust #Hades2 #Fanart #Hades

All these Vulkan rendering fixes are included in #GodotEngine 4.6, and cherry-picked for an upcoming 4.5.2 release. The crash rates for Vulkan Mobile on Android were quite bad, so I'm grateful for everyone involved in solving them! Working around GPU driver peculiarities is never a simple task 😅

imagine how many of these stories we havent heard yet because people fear what it would do to their careers
