I am so tired of my development tools assuming I am stupid.

NOT NOW HEMORRHAGIC FEVER

a game where you cannot progress if you don't give active input is not an idler i wish a very bad day to all the incremental games on steam that have the idler tag that don't do shit if you aren't clicking constantly

finally openai innovates a revenue stream

slack is a billion dollar company

Cars without computers in them.

I have to opt out of this AI tool every time I go to the doctor. The future sucks shit.

the very real and serious problem smart glasses are creating is that the only solution likely to be advocated is a ban on private citizens' ability to legally record in public instead of, you know, simply banning the glasses themselves or ever holding a single tech company accountable for anything

one size fits all is the greatest lie ever sold to consumers

"We've decided you should have more antisemitism in your Instagram feed, based on many things."

in 2016 I made a comic titled “Mr. Gotcha” that would become most viewed and circulated image I’d create. Now it is the subject of a book by @glennf.com examining its history in online discourse. That One Matt Bors comic is live on Kickstarter—back it here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/gle...

people better be puckering their assholes and praying to whatever they believe in that hantavirus isn't airborne because with a 6-8 week incubation time, if it is, we're 100% fucked. no government is going to pay people to stay home for two months proactively.

Imagine the kind of verifiably genocidal shit they were doing to get fired by *Microsoft* and have the entire Israel division shut down. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

you click on the link and it's just a rickroll

Loblaws credits record profits to “raising prices on things humans need to live”

it's 2026 and slack still can't search for threads started by a specific person.

my doctor's office switched a year ago to an online booking system that is literally worse than trying to buy concert tickets online 20 years ago. i fucking hate the state of healthcare in ontario.

Every kid in my life is wholly rejecting genAI. The kids are alright.

this graduation speech moment is notable, and her amazed shock at having failed to read the room feels instructive. when you're inside the bubble, you think everybody else is. but everybody isn't.

my favorite and also dumbest thing i've built in factorio: a train that just burns the wood that's pulled out of my inventory by drones, since it has no use and just wastes inventory space.

Due to the prevalence of AI fakery I suggest communicating a simple call-back rule with your friends and family; agree that if one were to ask for anything that involves money, do an immediate callback, no exceptions. It's not perfect but it will solve most scenarios. Even banking scams.

do you think any non-conservative government will ever learn that austerity doesn't work

wow I thought we were past this bullshit good thing this is a free weekend because otherwise it would be instant-refund.

Ubisoft has been skimming off the government for decades and now they have the temerity to lay off their workers. The government should demand repayment.

Books about "prompt engineering" must be like "Mastering ELI5" and "Writing Like Dummies for No One"

wow fuck you

I find this article deeply funny. It says a lot which has value, but it's still pretty hilarious. Being pro-AI and expecting people to use AI in a way that's considerate of others simply does not mesh with human behavior. If the tools to generate noise exist, humans will use them to generate noise.

good luck to the UK. who do we want to win over there? I haven't been following too closely.

it's going to be funny when we do even less for a new pandemic than we did for the last

honestly not sure why my friends put up with me

Ontario is such a fucking joke. Tied with the Liberals? The party that barely exists and doesn't have a leader? Ontario would rather support [PLACEHOLDER PARTY] than the NDP, who have an excellent leader and double the seats? This province is so utterly fucked.

Monthly ebook releases on Amazon were basically flat before the release of ChatGPT and other LLMs. Now around 2/3 of all ebooks released on Amazon are fake.

do you think rich people realize how *cartoonishly fucking evil* they are when they do stuff like try to restrict medical transport for children because they don't like the noise?

I have no idea why people are suddenly talking about Star Wars and I think that's beautiful.

happy cinqo de quatro

one must not discourse. discourse is the mind killer.

richard dawkins is proof that bigotry makes you stupid

It's been a year and I still don't miss her any less.

Are there any city building games out there that have an actual plot? Remember Actraiser? I loved that game because stuff actually happened. I don't even need the action sequences, but I'd like to have some kind of story and not just a pure sandbox.

happy birthday

I have booked a room so I can stay downtown for Prepare the Ground. I don't suppose any of my local toronto metalheads are going to be attending?

definitely regret opting out of a metal bandcamp gift club since my birthday lands on a bandcamp friday this year lol
