sorry I can't make it to the rapture I have already ascended with gorb

"prove me wrong!" alright kurt gödel

we have a shape. and that shape doesn't go straight up. that shape is amorphous

just tried subtly hinting to a scam call that I knew what they were doing but they didn't twig so I had to switch to going "look dude I know this is a scam" and he just went "oh. oooh. hmm" and hung up

imagine if everyone who believed in the rapture actually got raptured though

I think even if none of its other harms existed, the sheer world-shattering volume of capital that has been sunk into this boondoggle instead of literally any other problem facing the world is absolutely criminal bsky.app/profile/jcog...

I'm sure I said this (lack of formal data/code distinction) should have been obvious several months ago and we're only just seeing papers and articles coming out saying "huh, turns out"

nailed on this is to protect terfs www.gov.uk/government/n...

we can't have the rapture tomorrow, it's Hades 2 on thursday

genuinely thought I had soft locked my playthrough because of the most stupid platforming room puzzle I have ever seen in my life. everyone saying this is a good platforming game is experiencing mass delusions

it's less that they don't care what the numbers say and more that they have a much wider definition of who should be thought of as an "immigrant" and therefore eligible for deportation. all their rhetoric is aimed at expanding the category

absolutely relishing being somehow compelled to vote for "there's no money for the camps" as the only electable lesser evil in 2029 bsky.app/profile/adam...

me @ literally everything in Underworks: Marx predicted this

the main reason they're doing this *now* is starmer has shown he can be bounced into doing at least some of what they want, so now they're pushing for more bsky.app/profile/samf...

I think silksong has finally crossed the "too sadistic for me to want to keep playing" line at the start of act 2, especially since they remove the one thing that makes the game approachable to me: the ability to go do something else

if bluesky was meaningfully decentralised, people would be running their own instances, just like they are on mastodon, and this is demonstrably not happening

the hollow knight clown pic used to mean you were waiting for silksong but now it means me trying to play silksong

hollow knight: silksong (2025)

quite something to see something that reads as "heartwarming local interest story" if you're normal but its author and publisher think it's a scandal

skong act 2: I would like to talk to the manager of this work site

team cherry learn a second platforming mechanic jesus christ

if you've been prime minister aren't you supposed to busy yourself with something a little more dignified than this

I will say that despite knowing big chunks of team cherry games are optional and very non linear, it is a huge troll to make the first main optional area both extremely hard to get through and then also very difficult to leave should you get to its end, if you go there early

this is, somehow, even worse than I expected, or than any speculation I have been privy to ruby.social/@getajobmike...

yeah ok savage beastfly is really annoying even if you're well equipped. it's not even hard really, it's is *annoying*

how does it serve a security goal to jettison all of your existing team and their institutional knowledge? is this a dumb question

why was this published 15 minutes ago, per their rss feed, after the existing team was locked out without any of this professed transparency apparently being deployed rubycentral.org/news/strengt...

My concern is this seems a prelude to acquisition/transfer and if that's to a DHH-controlled organisation then it puts GOV.UK team in an awkward position of being dependent on someone who endorses the overthrow of the UK government. Marty really needs to come out and give a reason why this happened.

absolute banger

running theme of the last half decade is governance orgs and package hosts screwing my friends over

I will only consider saying anything nice about AI once my phone stops "correcting" the things I type into it

ruby 20 years ago: check out this quirky fun little proglang ruby now: the web framework is run by a fascist and the package hosting team all got shit canned, have fun

even if the rubygems take over is not consciously malicious, it is at the very least *extremely inadvisable* to instantly delete the entire institutional knowledge that supports it

Hey, #ruby folks! I've been one of the #RubyGems maintainers for the last decade. Ruby Central has forcefully taken control of the RubyGems organization on GitHub, the `rubygems-update` and `bundler` gems on rubygems[.]org, and more. You can read the details here: pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...

people complaining about silksong runbacks have clearly never played this

oof, what a disappointing way to end more than 15 years of open source work. (summary by @duckinator.bsky.social at pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...). good luck to the remaining RubyGems team, and it’s time to focus my energy on new projects that I’m truly excited about, like rv.dev

what the *hell*. if this is true it is a great way to nuke trust in rubygems from orbit pup-e.com/goodbye-ruby...

how is hunter's march still this bad after I've got to act 2

moss mother 2: lol, lmao, etc

congrats to your party for managing to do left factional in-fighting in a party with two people in it, incredible

or over the entire cover implying "time to bring in the nazis". magazine has been the polite face of far-right discourse for a long time

"buh antifa isn't an organisation" no it's just an obvious call to criminalise anyone the right perceives as "woke", how are you not getting this

turns out my ideas about how to deal with this fight are correct, I just can't execute them consistently for how long the fight goes on despite my hitting the boss almost constantly

realising I mostly need to play silksong by trying things for a short while and then stopping and thinking about them for a much longer while

me when I lose my rosaries

kids these days only wanna talk about LLM when they should be talking about LL(k)

update: seeing them in a tiny east london pub this evening

games critics will post anything these days "we finished hollow knight silksong in 20 hours" no you didn't that isn't true
