Silence hides risk. Leaders must create environments where people can speak up without fear and contribute fully.

Bhagpuss reacts to Playable Worlds layoffs on Stars Reach, pointing out it’s still pre-alpha and that trimming the only-game studio this early feels like a serious warning sign.

Nicole rants about misinformation after trying to look up Phantasy Star Fukkokuban (a Master System game packaged in a Genesis cart), and getting sketchy-seeming search results alongside stalwarts.

Shintar skips the Account Played addon but still totals her WoW /played time, sharing a top-five list where her original 2007 character dwarfs the rest and a MoP Classic hunter surprisingly hits #2.

Belghast tries Diablo II’s surprise Warlock class (shadow-dropped and feeling hilariously overpowered), notes it’s coming to Diablo IV and Diablo Immortal too, and checks out Destiny Rising’s LunarNew

Wilhelm digs into Playable World’s “reorganization” (read: layoffs) on Stars Reach, noting the classic Friday-after-4pm timing and the uneasy déjà vu of MMO staffing cuts.

Andrew Plotkin didn’t hit the $500/month Patreon goal, but he’s building Zork 3 anyway—bare-bones build already running, with plans to finish Zork 3, Deadline, and Starcross by May.

Roger spotlights London’s British Optical Association Museum—a charming Georgian-house “hidden gem” with a witty curator-led optometry history tour, from old signage to a Harry Potter glasses display.

Jamie Zawinski riffs on the SF blackout hearing: PG&E says the mayor requested power for the War Memorial Opera House, then later calls it a “misunderstanding,” a

What a coincidence. I also started to self-host in the year 2025. Glad I was part of the "significant" year.

Linux desktop adoption doesn’t fail because new users can’t learn.

It fails when we welcome them with a pop quiz.

When someone says “I’m trying Linux,” and the first response is “Actually, it’s GNU/Linux,” that’s not help — it’s semantic gatekeeping. Status signaling disguised as “accuracy.” And it pushes curious newcomers right back to Windows/macOS.
