… and now we’ll get a total muppet for the Arts portfolio, so that’s fun.

I kinda wish HBO Silicon Valley was still around to make fun of all of this.

(For context, I’ve been using a Framework 13 since December, about 2/3 of my time, and generally doing fine with it.)

It's not that I don't like macOS, I honestly prefer it. But the overall trajectory of this is just worse. It's death by a thousand cuts. I may as well use the thing that's already a bit janky, but at least I can control it a tiny bit more.

I think I'm honestly at the point where I'm just going to keep using something objectively shittier (a Linux laptop), with shittier software, UX, and so on, than my previous daily driver (a MacBook Pro), just because I'm sick of Big Tech bullshit. Still enjoy macOS, but Big Tech is getting worse.

Halt and Catch Fire is so bloody good. Why was this not a hit?

Unreal Engine is really growing on me. But I am a sicko who loves C++.

Deeply disrespectful to the entire Australian cultural sector that the Office of the Arts can't be bothered actually reading all the submissions people are working very hard on for the National Cultural Policy, and instead will be asking genAI for a summary. www.arts.gov.au/have-your-sa...

As part of the Office for the Arts review of the National Cultural Policy, I wrote and submitted the following on behalf of @tasgamemakers.com tasgamemakers.com/policies-and... #arts #australia #gamedev #auspol

16 years ago, we wrote our first book of many!

It really is imperative we never let the billionaires actually figure out how to extend their lives meaningfully.

Podcasts generated from the empty PDF file revealed the underlying template NotebookLM uses to generate its podcasts. The deep voice starts the podcast: "All right, so topic redacted, awaiting remaining source material." There was nothing in the source material. dataverse.no/file.xhtml?p...

Trans people are not “fighting for unpopular positions that society isn’t ready for.” Trans people are fighting to KEEP the rights we have enjoyed for decades. We have been able to legally change our gender markers since the 70s and before. Same with bathrooms, sports, youth, all for decades.

Thanks for @tanamakes.games and @deadteapot.games for this surprise we found in the mailbox at the Yarn Spinner International Corporate HQ this week!

Someone get these gen Xs out of the room when they're being pitched shitty AI tools or so help me god. Especially when they are politicians! They're not going to save you time and money. They'll COST you. You'll need to hire back everyone you fired. PLEASE LOOK AT ANY RESEARCH I'M LOSING MY MIND-

hello fellow game dev, it's me, a brand, just like you

did you know the Yarn Spinner editor works whichever way your brain does? sketch out all your dialogue nodes first and write into them later, or write a pile of dialogue and drag it into shape after. both are good. both are very fun. here, look.
