Microsoft Publisher is being retired, and Microsoft are literally deleting it off the face of the earth - it's leaving 365 this time next year + doesn't seem to be on sale from them now.

Whelp. End of an era I guess - been using it over 20 years. Thanks, subscriptions.

Writing hand-optimized implementations of the C standard library's routines for the Sega #Dreamcast's SH4, because the implementations we get from Newlib are using slow bit arithmetic on a platform with a baller FPU... ain't nobody got time!

Pulled from Reddit (hid the user) about what it was like during that "period" in Germany, how it just creeped up unnoticed, uncertain.

We stand in solidarity with employees and ex-employees at Build a Rocket Boy as they file legal claims through our union and publish an open letter, condemning the way in which they’ve been mistreated and discarded by the studio’s millionaire executives.

I can't draw cars

A comic strip.
A man and a woman in a red 2 door car, the characters are hand drawn, but the car is a photograph that has been cut out.
The man says "heh- look, the artist who drew this comic can't draw cars so he used a photo."

Switching sides now to focus on the woman in the driver's seat (the photo of the car has been flipped, if you finely comb the image you'll notice the steering wheel has changed sides also), the woman says "shut up, pointing stuff like that out isn't clever -'oh that's so meta'- it's not smart, it's lazy and easy.
It's been done to death. How about not being a coward and trying to say something personal and meaningful."

The car crashes into a ditch, signified by the photo being cut in half jaggedly. The car is now a different model entirely, a soft top convertible, where it was previously it was a hard top.
The man says "ok, well making a 'meta' joke while trying to make it look like you're couching it in criticism is still doing it, but making excuses. Why not enjoy it?
Oh hey, the car's changed."
The woman replies "shut the fuck up."

4 panel comic

P1: a cartoon me, sat at a table --with a blank sheet of paper and a pencil on its surface-- grimacing in pain as he clutches his right wrist. Thinking to himself, he says "AUGH! My drawing hand hurts! Don't think I'll be able to draw a comic toda--"

P2: APPEAR! Suddenly, a larger and far more crudely drawn version of my cartoon self appears on the right. He has a big doofy grin onhis face. Original cartoon me, in shock, says "GASP! W-who --WHAT-- are you?"

P3: Via an equally crudely drawn (and written) speech bubble and text, crude cartoon me says "I'm you when you stop giving a shite about drawing well"

P4: Suddenly, original cartoon me gets transformed into a crudely drawn form. The other crude self finishes on "in my imperfection I am perfect in every way"

So I know everyone's complaining about the price of games these days but looking at 2XKO with it's, like, $140 skin pack is making me think... I mean how did we get into a world where it's cheaper to buy PCBs of cool fighting games than digital skins for a new release game. Come on
