In order to circumvent censorship, it's best to get an idea of what you're running into. Here's how to figure that out. ssd.eff.org/module/unde...

Why isn’t the right excited about technology?

Extreme wealth has made a handful of men incompatible with everyone else's safety and well-being. You can resolve this by either removing the wealth or removing the men. Curious to hear which avenue they seem to prefer!

Again, I cannot emphasize enough: do not go to the US even if you're privileged enough to have never been scared or worried of a border crossing in you're life. Do not go ESPECIALLY for something as optional & outrageously expensive as GDC. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I always thought the whole "they want you dead" thing was just hyperbole. But I guess this makes the entire raw milk, no vax, more asbestos stuff make a lot more sense.

I keep thinking about this because I feel like it should be bigger news that we have confirmation that the richest, most powerful people in the world are colluding to come up with ways to kill the majority of the world's population.

2026 basically

“The internet lets young people connect outside of the controlled spheres of their parents’ worldview — and that’s the danger that proponents of age verification are terrified of,” EFF’s @ericabp.bsky.social told @Salon.com. www.salon.com/2026/02/11/...

Actually, if you want a fighting game with a single-player mode, might I recommend the first Fatal Fury? That's basically like a more fancy Yie Ar Kung Fu when you think about it. Pick one of three characters with unique moves, then fight a gauntlet of weirdos with messed up move sets and gimmicks.

…Sure., I’m feeling spicy today. Let’s say something nuclear: It’s not about modes. It’s not about accessibility. It’s not about having a road map. Your favorite game genre is probably not going to survive capitalism.

i will never forgive the techbros for ruining computer computer was the only thing i liked

Is @hootsuite.com still a B corp, committed to social good? How do they square that with "social listening" contracts with ICE in 2026? Glad to speak w/CBC's Gloria Macarenko about it: www.cbc.ca/listen/live-...

Vancouver, pay attention. Hootsuite provides social media and surveillance tools to ICE. Their CEO has doubled down on the contract. Monitoring dissent. Tracking public reaction. Managing PR for a violent agency. This is complicity. @hootsuite.com

We're not organizing this one. But if you're in Vancouver and want to be heard by @hootsuite.com, consider showing up!

Not to be a hipster about it but @fightforthefuture.org was organizing to ban facial recognition way before it was cool and you can donate to us right here www.fightforthefuture.org/donate

Gonna put out the bat signal but if anyone is carpooling to frosty’s and has a passport or is in Canada and can make a detour to Sault Ste. Marie Ontario and add me, I’d be grateful. I will pay for gas and expenditures but all flights that would get me there in time are canned

Copyright laws give legacy gatekeepers more control, stifling grassroots innovation and emerging creators. We need a system that enables choice and new opportunities. eff.org/deeplinks/2...

As an older tech person, it's legit heartwarming watching the TikTok generation discover why we all hate Oracle.

In Day of the Tentacle (1993), you can play the full version of its predecessor, Maniac Mansion. It is one of the earliest games to feature a complete game within another.

Implying AI's 'grow up' is some kind of propaganda, of course it's coming from Anthropic. They're solid state, static things, of course they don't fucking feel.

This is the single funniest excuse he could have come up with for not wanting to be booed in public

Hootsuite's work with ICE is shameful. We proudly support Vancouver's Access Without Fear policies. Solidarity with everyone in Minneapolis and across the U.S. pushing back against xenophobia and fascism.

Across America and the world, people are realizing it’s not possible to appease America’s dictator. The only way to deal with him is to stand up to him — and the only way to stand up to him is by joining together against him. It's time for a massive general strike across the country.

Well now, this seems familiar, LOL. 20 years ago (!!!) this April, "Mega Man Solid X: Guns Of The Mavericks" was the joke game that was "mapped" for the Maps Of The Month on VGMaps.com: The Video Game Atlas as an April Fool's joke, based on this same idea. vgmaps.com/NewsArchives...

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups. Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight. #megaman #pixelart #ドット絵

happy casual quanchy friday everyone

Thanks to @technologyreview.com and Finian Hazen (who was a student in my special seminar @buffett.northwestern.edu) for this profile of our work @citizenlab.ca

There have already been 25 data center cancellations or postponements this month, according to @macroedgeres.bsky.social. That's nearly as many as the previous 6 months combined.

This is so grim. Science isn’t just something nerds do, but the foundation of the modern world. What the Trump regime has done to US science will harm Americans for generations.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention. The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.

We will be migrating GodotSteam's community stuff off Discord, due to impending IPO, and onto Matrix and IRC. Find us on Matrix at: matrix.to#/#godotsteam... And IRC via Libera Chat: irc://irc.librea.chat/#godotsteam Our Discord community will shutdown early-to-mid March so get yourself migrated.

This is why there is no free speech without anonymous speech. This is why online ID checks / age verification is incompatible with the 1st amendment and human rights. This is why "make everyone use their real names" is not a real solution to online hate & harm www.politico.com/newsletters/...

SNK has proven my belief (which has been proven over and over again) that video gamers should be more okay with things just ending. There doesn't need to be comebacks for the corporate names and logos you liked as a kid. Most of the people who made those things good don't even work there anymore.

Modern SNK is the perfect illustration of top-level corporate stupidity ruining all it touches. The people steering the ship are completely divorced from what longtime fans, the market, and (likely) their own employees want

When I say Trump can't cancel elections, I don't mean constitutionally, I mean in the real world he doesn't & won't have enough control to do that. He may be able to influence Trumpist-controlled states to cancel their elections, but all that'll do is deliver Congress to states he doesn't influence
