Canadians, one of the most important things you can do is send a letter to your MP about this. This would be the end of privacy for Canadians: dontsurveil.me/c22.html

HI!! IF YOU'RE CANADIAN, PLEASE WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR MP!!! IF YOU AREN'T CANADIAN, SHARE THIS AROUND INSTEAD!!

"The future" is paying $1500~$5800 so that a bot can code an unmaintainable codebase for you instead of just coding shit yourself, apparently.

This will be graphics in 2010

@wario64.bsky.social Fire recommendation by Steam. Might want to tell your followers too so they don't miss out

Steam Controller ordered, pretty excited

Thanks Steam

Not that anyone needs yet another reason to steer clear of Microsoft, but VSCode now adds Copilot as a co-author of all your commits, regardless if you used Copilot. This was added silently as a default. This is some next level insanity.

Watch out: This is a new scam in Steam I've never seen before. Few days ago somebody whom I thought was already in my friends list "re-added" me and I accepted thinking "whatever". Now a few days later, this account started a scam attempt. Turned out to be a different account than my actual friend.

hjsakldfhl… that’s all I have to say… #tadc #theamazingdigitalcircus #caine #wip #fanart #sketches

it's called the playstation 5 because it takes 360 monthly installments to pay for it

20 years ago teachers wouldn't allow you to search info on Wikipedia and now it's the only trustfull site on the internet. How the tables are turned.

Not quite, there were two votes, sorry we got that mixed up when posting. Please check here for a detailed explanation of what happened: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4752... And here: www.patrick-breyer.de/en/end-of-ch...

We were 1 vote away from losing a basic human right. This is insane.

Here are Dave and David's full unedited comments for those interested:

Seems like you can put the genie back in the bottle after all ;)

Any use of genAI always reads to me like: “We just used a little bit of shit in our cake because we couldn’t afford chocolate.”

Honey, maybe this is shocking to you, but shouting "resistance is futile" is not the flex you think it is. So seriously, why can't you just make decent code instead?

Reminder to block user Claude on github. This allows you to immediately adjust your expectations when checking out a github repo. It immediately tells you if the code is AI slop.

AI is going to make it nearly impossible for anyone to afford a new PC, phone, or gaming console -- all in the name of a future that will never come to pass and a present that will just make a few dudes rich. This is unacceptable

Based. absolutely based. I cannot stress enough just how based this guy is If you claim to like owning and using a computer but also boost genAI's usage numbers I'm sorry but you're straight up stupid.

Honestly, AI slop PRs are becoming increasingly draining and demoralizing for #Godot maintainers. If you want to help, more funding so we can pay more maintainers to deal with the slop (on top of everything we do already) is the only viable solution I can think of: fund.godotengine.org

Had a dream that there was global panic about the world running out of oxygen, Nintendo was the only video game company to make a statement about it, and the internet collectively spent its final hours on Earth debating whether Nintendo was being genuine or not

Guh-huh

Meta's plan for launching glasses that people can use to secretly identify strangers on the street is to do it "during a dynamic political environment" when people who care about why that's bad are "focused on other concerns." www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

I can't emphasize enough how important it is that you reject this shit Keep your own hardware for longer, buy second hand, do whatever you need to do but please never subscribe to physical items Own everything and be happy.

Hey everyone. The Allumeria Steam page is currently down because Microsoft has filed a false DMCA claim on it. They sent an email earlier today claiming that this screenshot infringes on their copyright. I am taking a moment to figure out what my path is going forward, will update soon. #gamedev

you want it? it's yours, my friend #totk #botw #morshu

The Steam Machine has been delayed because stupid little babies can't stop using AI to write their emails: aftermath.site/steam-machine-...

We have a final signature count for the #StopKillingGames European Citizens' Initiative: 1,294,188 out of an original total of 1,448,270! An invalid rate of ~11%! Thank you all! Moritz has more info on reddit: www.reddit.com/r/StopKillin... Handover to Brussels is planned for mid to late February!

Steve Mayles, the character designer who created Banjo, just commented on this!!! The thought of the creator of Banjo himself watching the trailer that I edited makes me feel super weird (in an awesome way!) 🥹

I've been helping with this and it's now ready! Banjo: Recompiled is now out! A PC Port of Banko-Kazooie with high framerate support, ultrawide, analog camera, mod support, etc! (also, I made the trailer!) youtu.be/0906Cz-59eU

I've been helping with this. Stay tuned 👀

FYI I started getting these too and I found a pretty simple solution. I created a filter on Gmail and set it to automatically delete any email that comes from a zendesk.com address. Problem solved. They're still cringe for not fixing this though. It is their problem, not ours.

@gamersnexus.bsky.social Did you see that apparently Asus is really really bad about killing the 9800X3D too? wccftech.com/three-more-r...
