I have issues with Silent Hill f, but by and large it's an EXCELLENT game. It feels authentically Silent Hill while doing its own thing. Hinako is an interesting protagonist, and the game tries to tangle with thoughts about gender and relationships through the lens of 1960s Japanese culture.

Genuine question: for those enthusiastically pushing AI tools into every part of our education system—what checks/guardrails are there around algorithmic biases like this?

SCOOP from me: Trump's AI action plan released last week makes a specific set of recommendations around loosening Clean Water Act permits for data centers — recommendations mirrored in letters sent to the administration by Big Tech lobbyists earlier this year:

Big Tech Asked for Looser Clean Water Act Permitting. Trump Wants to Give It to Them
New AI regulations suggested by the White House mirror changes to environmental permitting suggested by Meta and a lobbying group representing firms like Google and Amazon Web Services.

I'm trying to finally finish House of Leaves. I stopped reading it because the narrator sucks real hard. The fiction about the house itself and the Navidson family is super compelling, but Johnny is just the far end opposite. And in between that, 200 pages of footnotes.

The fact that itchio is looking into alternate payment options and talking about all this like an ongoing situation instead of being like "these are the new rules and always will be, fuck off" says a lot about how much they care about this. I know you want to yell at them but they're working hard

Wanted to revisit this briefly and reemphasize this point - I agree in principle with the idea that you shouldn't sell your work for cut-rate, unsustainable pay, but that mostly assumes that alternatives exist

I bought a couch (My last one lasted 10 years).The bottom broke within 3 months. They tried to fix it, but failed. They replaced it. That one broke too. So I bought a totally different couch from a totally different retailer. Guess what happened. I just want to sit, you guys

I understand the argument that the impeachment vote in the House is symbolic and thus potentially a "waste of time" but the people who make that argument never explain, and once again in this case have not explained, what *more valuable thing* they need to do with the time instead.

the moment a company goes public, whatever ideals or goals they had before are now dead. They might shamble along like zombies for a long time, but they're still dead. A publicly traded company is obligated to please shareholders--consumers are a secondary concern on the best of days.

Do not fall for the lies of c-suites. Not making enough money for endless growth goons is not “inherently unprofitable.” Media is very challenging, yes, but the vultures want you to believe these layoffs are inevitable and necessary.
