Just a reminder that this bundle is still going on, and it's raised nearly 80k already! Grab my game and many others for very cheap and help a good cause #indiegames #playforpeace

#weeknotes for your Wednesday. small link dump but lots of little things

starting a weekly "now" list of things i'm doing for self accountability reasons using leaflet. experimenting with lowest barrier of entry, but i also have a bookmark in there of more blog tools i will be trying in the coming weeks

poking around for some open source blogging tools and looking for some recs! would love rss capability and cms not required. any plugins for other tools (obsidian, notion etc) would also be a bonus!

war on knowledge

lately i've been having a lot of conversations around usages of AI (aren't we all 😑). two things have really come to the forefront especially now the inability to agree on energy consumption. www.wired.com/story/ai-car...

While at #ELO25 I’m launching a new online project. Here is “No Time to Discourse”—a speculative atlas of future climate disaster. Millions of (non-AI) procedurally generated flash fiction disaster stories. And they all hit a little too close to home these days. notime.now

Arrived in Toronto this evening for #ELO25, for which I've just made this handy hashtag feed. Follow it (or pin it) to see all the #ELO25 conference posts.... bsky.app/profile/did:...

“chat” as a reference to the little people living in my phone = good “chat” as a nickname for chatgpt = bad so immensely bad

I wrote about vibe coding and why it is not "democratizing" or "empowering". (Sorry for typos, it was supposed to be a quick note and then kinda exploded in my hands and now time I have for that today has run out) https://tante.cc/2025/05/23/on-vibe-coding/

it arrived!! 😍😍😍 @loriemerson.net

Forgive me for the harm I have caused this world. None may atone for my actions but me and only in me shall their stain live on. I am thankful to have been caught, my fall cut short by those with wizened hands. All I can be is sorry, and that is all I am.

i listened to this Hito Steyerl lecture the other day and i’m still thinking about it. - the internet is still running on fossil fuels - AI generated images are contemporary oil paintings - the systems controlling pipelines (digital tools, oil) can and will be dismantled youtu.be/OUboogjsr-8?...

We can only sustainably fail." www.nathalielawhead.com/candybox/mak... about sustainable alternatives to existing in the game industry, and the positive impact of failure. #GameDev
