@drewseph I see you. You’re enough!

I’m 37 years old and living with end-stage kidney disease in Oregon. I urgently need a living kidney donor. My blood type is A+. NKR covers all costs—travel, lodging, medical, and time off work.

I am a fan of the #YaaasQueen flyers for #BostonPride. Via newsletter.

JUNE 14 | Boston Pride for the People

11:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Parade from Copley Sq. to Boston Common

Join us in an act of joyous defiance against a mad king. #Mass50501 will have a parade contingent and host a table led by our #LGBTQ+ reps at the Pride Festival

June 14th is a national day of protests across the country, .... The goal is to celebrate Pride, not disrupt it.

here’s a small curation of games that exist outside the urge to be understood.
“Digital art: I want to be confused. I don’t want to understand. I want to see something for the first time again. Rarely a game does that, and when it does it’s a precious thing.”

@SidFudd @pluralistic Ed Zitron had a recent banger of a post on Friedman and the vapid CEO culture his thinking helped create:

@j_feral I had no idea about Reed’s parent company and I’ve been going for years. Thank you for raising this! Will give similar feedback in the survey

@kenSwinson same here. It’s a much nicer experience overall

Really interesting talk from @mamund on ALPS (which I’d never heard of) at #APIDays. I wonder if I could convince my API-averse product colleagues to try this out?

@aronkvh @kenSwinson I second Kagi here. Been using it for over a year and the difference in search result quality is night and day. Being able to heavily filter results, reliably, is also a huge plus. Worth the price imo.

If US press wrote about the US the way they do the rest of the world

Day 1 of #PAXEast 2025! So far I:
- Watched Omeganauts drive fast cars off a cliff to calamitous applause
- Got a jump scare playing a horror farming game
- Improved my Japanese grammar via card battle
- Had lovely conversations with total strangers about games

I’ve had a rough couple of months and have been so tired I considered skipping this year. So glad I came anyway!

Public Service info from the volunteer chief archivist at datamuseum.dk:

NEVER use flash-based storage for archival purposes.

Not CF, not SD, not USB-sticks, not SSD, not NVME, nor any other flash-technology based storage media.

Flash is simply not a stable storage mechanism: Just like Dynamic RAM it will eventually forget your bits.

Unfortunately there are no good choices for long term data storage, but flash is a particular bad choice.

Do you approve of the state of the software industry?

Today is the National Day of Awareness of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls and Two Spirits (MMIWG2S), commonly known as Red Dress Day.

Red Dress Day stems from a powerful art project of empty red dresses symbolizing #MMIWG2S
