I know I’m not really saying anything new here, but wow is the iOS 26 Liquid Glass stuff completely ridiculous fluff. It makes no sense and it’s actively hostile to every action I want to do on my phone.

How is it possibly OK to anyone, Republican or Democrat, for the President of the fucking United States to be publicly declaring war on cities in his own country?

the vice president usually only endorses war crimes in secret memos so i feel like this is a big step forward for us

50 Years of Text Games is so good.

You don’t need to be a pro speaker. You just need a story, a lesson, or an experiment worth sharing.

I had a blast seeing Weapons tonight. I’m a little pissed that the #WaxworkRecords email last week about the soundtrack on vinyl showed off artwork that gave away a little too much, but it was still wild enough to enjoy the whole thing untangle itself.

Man, I’m consistently blown away by by Wired Magazine lately. I subscribed to get access to some random article and accidentally wandered into a magazine full of articles that walk the line between humor, truth, and fighting words. When did this happen? I feel like when I read Wired years ago it was… ok, but sort of like the computer games magazines you’d read to find out the new shit to buy? Every article is fire in the last couple of issues.

I read and re-read the Book of Atrus so many times as a kid. This is a fun surprise!

I’ve seen this kind of story more than once now. I’m so sorry that trans folks have to use their bodies to protest such a double standards, but I can’t help cheering for you as you’re kicking the shit out of these stupid new rules. :BlobhajTransPrideHeart: https://pouet.chapril.org/@dallo/114723281576650918

We swore an oath. We're fighting back.

"I think sometimes programmers forget that their primary job is to create a world where we need less programmers, not more."

I've consistently expressed various forms of this sentiment on https://blog.codinghorror.com since 2004, I posted those specific words in 2018, and .. that's still the job, people. That's the job. Always has been. Always will be.

“On Thursday, Bandai Namco and A24 announced a live-action Elden Ring film directed by Alex Garland” feels like an Onion headline but it’s absolutely the timeline I want to be in.

Annihilation took me several watches to realize how goddamn good it is, but his other movies as director or writer are some of my favorites. https://mastodon.social/@verge/114554084419600530

It's sad to know US scientists invented the most sophisticated weather forecasting models in the world, the satellites and instruments to measure atmospheric conditions, and an advanced alert system to warn the public of coming disasters, and the Trump administration is destroying it all.

Well then, #synadia wants to withdraw #nats from the #CNCF to slap a #BUSL on it. 🫠

Even with being the main contributor, you shouldn't be able undo a donation. ⚰️

For me, pushing the point to use #AGPL. Makes extremely difficult to try to relicense like this.

I started Blue Prince yesterday and the first session across a few in-game days was a little bland. Drafting the rooms felt random and most rooms seemed empty and non-interactive. What was I missing?

Today I found the magnifying glass and oh god I’ve started my notebook and I see what everybody’s been talking about now.

I’m still listening to Diamond Eyes by Graz, ever since I heard it on an early #m8tracker meetup. It’s so much fun and a crazy bit of music out of the little instrument. ✨👀
