I'm excited to release Just the Browser! It helps you remove AI features, ads, shopping integrations, and other annoyances from desktop web browsers. This project includes configuration files, a simple setup script, and guides for manual installation. It supports Chrome, Firefox, and MS Edge.

Okay but if we don't acknowledge that America was always fascist, then we can and will respond by dialing back America to a time when it was still fascist, but less visibly so. That's not a solution.

NASA just rolled out the Space Launch System (SLS), an 11-million-pound rocket built to return humans to the moon. 🚀🌕🧪 This powerful launch vehicle will carry the Artemis II mission, sending four astronauts around the Moon and beyond Earth orbit for the first time since Apollo 17.

"The very introduction of AI into the workplace appears to be disastrous for employee relations, suggests another study, which found that AI resulted in employees passing off low quality “workslop” with the expectation that someone else down the line would polish the AI’s shoddy output."

I've gotten this question from a lot of #GameDev: "How can I, a game developer, make use of ATProto in my games?" So I wrote an article to address my work in a way that makes more sense for game developers, especially those that don't know (or care) about ATProto.

Hey #GameDev and #ATProto! I'm working on tools to decentralize the ownership and management of video games by putting them (or at least their data... for now) on ATProto! I'm looking for feedback, so if you have any interest I'd love to hear your thoughts. ♥️ 🎮 ♥️

if you're in Massachusetts, please take a minute to email and/or call @edmarkey.bsky.social and @warren.senate.gov . I'm so deeply ashamed to see my house rep on this fucking terrible list of useless cowards. if you're in other states and see your dem rep on this list, reach out to your senators.

hell yeah

Anyway, "guy who runs Fortnite company says shutting down child pornography generator is 'censorship' " is a pretty wild headline to share with your friends who are players or parents of Fortnite players

So how we feelin' about that Epic ecosystem nowadays? We all feel confident that Fortnite is a good spot for kids to hang out?

EVERYONE DO THIS SURVEY MAKE DISCORD PANIC AND REGRET AND REVERSE COURSE DROWN THEM IN YOUR HATRED FOR GENAI

Hey. Take this survey & answer honestly. But answer understanding that machine learning is not the same as our modern understanding of “AI”, and there is lots that Discord could roll out re: powerful data informed tools that doesn’t require LLMs or genAI. We need safe, stable gaming communities.

BY THE WAY you can apply the same refinement to insults and it makes them 100x sharper tired: "that's so stupid" inspired: "your willful neglect of facts for personal gain is not only repulsive but also just embarrassing"

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

yeah it is a fucking absolute nightmare world; and games isn't the only place affected by it, but games in particular is at the locus of several overlapping down waves in the long set of industry waves (console gen, studio consolidation, etc) on top of AI sucking the oxygen out of everywhere

For y'all to pass around: bsky.app/profile/thin...

Congress must immediately act to impeach & imprison Donald Trump. And if they fail to do so, the rest of the world should punish the USA just as heavily as was done to Russia for attacking Ukraine. We should not get to kidnap heads of state & "run" sovereign countries like vassals.

Best thing I’ve read this morning, from a human rights lawyer in Mexico. Translation is in the ALT-text.

Not just that. Due dates on documents like for Medicare, SNAP, etc. are decided based on when they're mailed out and uses the postmark date so see if they're met. This WILL cause people to lose benefits. Let me explain how it works.

I've been having so much fun implementing video-game trains over yuletide season. It's been such a blast and much welcome dopamine hit / hyperfixation

that’s how you kick things off and that’s the exact energy we’re going to need after the next Dem president takes office just because the last guy technically held the office didn’t mean he wasn’t a corrupt mess and we shouldn’t throw everything he did out wholesale

It's cool to know you an do an exacutive order to undo all prior executive orders... Just a thing I am thinking about

I don't know who needs to hear this, but opposing GenAI is not about opposing technology, it's about opposing capitalists. GenAI is not a technology: it's a massive automation of theft, masquerading as an industry, run by grifters. Don't hate computers, hate the capitalists behind the curtain.

I feel a train hyperfixation coming on... Might need to build some video game trains 👀

This is quite complex to explain to a complete layperson but the two things are so completely different, and obviously so to people who understand them, that it takes some mental realigning to even think of how to approach explaining this, but I'll try (it'll take a thread, sorry).

Hey, I'm here! And I'm not the only one who's run into this!

With The Mighty Nein animated series coming out, I feel I must share the maps! Nicodranas is on the Menagerie Coast and where Jester & Fjord's story begins. Here's the map I made for Matthew Mercer to present to the cast during the campaign.

Anyway...

That’s making the game!! If you don’t like that part of making the game, don’t make that a feature of the game or hire a weird pervert who does like recording a million barks and efforts (affectionate)!! Don’t turn to the environment-ruining plagiarism machine, christ.

Well put by @drrachelbarr.bsky.social

don't forget 🤖🚫

Hey you! Stop playing Fortnite!

epic will pay for every game that gets claimed this way so yes, you are still giving money to rowling (and by extension an international campaign against trans people) by claiming this there are other, better franchises - let this one go

Argh I'm so frustrated with the state of note-taking/knowledge management apps. Notion is pushing AI super hard. Obsidian's self-hosting option sucks and requires a ton of plugins. A bunch of open-source and self-hosted option are adding lots of genAI support. And the rest have crappy UX or tech. 😭😭

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers. NO TERF WIZARD GAME. NO TERF WIZARD SHOW.

Game Awards last year took place during a videogame strike against AI The strike wasn’t mentioned or acknowledged despite many VO performers working on the games that are heralded every year and even appearing on stage This year a game that features AI voiceover gets a podium to accept an award.

For any Dimension 20 nerds out there, we WILL be bringing the dome to Capitol Hill if I win.

And now we know that the volume of #Arctic sea ice also dropped to a record low in October (zacklabe.com/archive-2025/). It's been a historic fall in the #Arctic, which is already a season of rapid climate change. Not good.

At about $60K that's about 128 million graduate team indie games, at $150K about 500,000 small indie games, at $300K about 250,000 mid-size debut indie games, or at around $950K about 110,000 indie games by a team of more experienced devs. There are a total of 110,000 indie games on Steam.

This is so fucking cool! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zozE...

This is DEFCON 1 priority, y'all. Call your senators, reps, call your friends and tell them to call their senators and reps about this. Call your grandma and tell her to call her senators and reps about this. What we have here will be *gone* if these bills pass.

a sign people really want a feature and find it good is when companies make turning it off a 12 part process (firefox), require registry modifications (microsoft) or contact support to reveal the real off switch instead of their two decoy toggles (google) so they can claim people don't turn it off 📈

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

I think Demonschool is a good video game but I think Brandon’s approach to how staff worked together and were credited REALLY deserves a lot of attention. Video game crediting is a stupid black box and transparency will help average people understand these roles.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Hey yall not what I wanted to do on my birthday but let it be clear "Death of the artist" is all well & good but you cannot Seperate the art from the artist when the artist is still alive, a terf & every penny they recieve reinforces their beliefs & is used to actively harm Trans folks! Let it Go!
