The Palestinian Relief Bundle is live on itch.io!

itch.io/b/2321/palestinian-rel

$8 gets you 373 games, including A Short Hike, Wandersong, and Alone on a Journey (just to name a few I recognized when skimming). All proceeds go to the PCRF (Palestine Children's Relief Fund).

Also my partner and I contributed a solo/journaling game (Junk Mail Archeology), but since that's normally pay what you want, it's the other games that are the draw. 😉

If you publish a post in Mastodon, then go back and edit it to mention someone's account, the account you mention will not be notified about it. Notifications only seem to happen if the account was mentioned in the original version of the post.

Also, if a post has mentions-only visibility and you edit in a mention afterwards, the post will not be visible to the edited-in account.

(If you want it fixed, give a thumbs up at github.com/mastodon/mastodon/i)

🪙🐖En prévision d'un durcissement des conflits sociaux dans le jeu vidéo, et pour renforcer nos moyens d’action, nous lançons aujourd’hui un appel aux dons pour la caisse de grève du STJV.

Notre caisse de grève est alimentée en partie par les cotisations des adhérent‧es, mais reste majoritairement tributaire de dons.

Pour participer, il suffit de faire un virement sur le compte du STJV dédié, dont les informations sont dans l'article :

my new burger restaurant concept is inspired by modern software. the options for mayo are "yes" and "maybe later", and if you pick maybe later, the chef stands at your table with a squeezy bottle, threatening to add mayo to your burger when you least expect it

there's something real fucking dark about how AI is too inaccurate for tracking people around a grocery store so they have humans to make sure every last item is paid for, whereas if your AI is generating targets for a genocide then a serious error rate is perfectly within acceptable parameters.

I accidentally found a security issue while benchmarking postgres changes.

If you run debian testing, unstable or some other more "bleeding edge" distribution, I strongly recommend upgrading ASAP.
