Well, the band is based in France. They are fairly known by the French 😉

Remember that it’s your right to opt out (and you should) from this tech 😉.

Now, off to #EVA! 🤩

Also, kudos to Delta for letting me seamlessly opt out from facial recognition when boarding. And it was just as fast. So, what’s the point of #facialrecognition again, apart from stripping personal biometrics info away from people?

I heard Gotan Project playing in the airport right before I was boarding for Buenos Aires to go to #EVA. Weird as I’ve never heard Gotan Project played in the US before but I’ll take it as a good sign ☺️. Btw it would be fun to take a tango class while in Buenos Aires if anyone has tips 😉.

The debate over yellow paint in video games to guide players has resurfaced again after Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth director Naoki Hamaguchi told GamesRadar+ that "there is definitely a need" for it. What do you think? bit.ly/4qA6JRL

“We hate tutorials, we hate yellow paint”. Exactly 30 seconds later in the Steam reviews: “this game sucks we got lost and it’s hard to play because we didn’t understand a core mechanic”

Nyek London @stupidhoroscope.bsky.social · 10d

One of the most important jobs of a designer is understanding that there are some things that everyone says they want, but then absolutely hate if they get it

Wait?! 13 years since @lucasartsmemory.bsky.social was closed and we were all laid off? Damn… time flies. Very selfishly I wish that George Lucas would have waited a few more years before selling to Disney, so that #SW1313 would have been the last game shipped by LucasArts. 😔

George Lucas has said he’s let go of his instinct to manage Star Wars, 13 years after selling the sci-fi universe to Disney.

If I want to watch a youtube video in French it’s automatically dubbed in English with an AI voice. Horrible (when you speak the language)

Celia Hodent @celiahodent.com · 16d

Well… it is truly annoying.🤣

Celia Hodent @celiahodent.com · 17d

Ok this is starting to drive me nuts: how the hell can I disable autodubbing on the non-English youtube videos I watch? It’s a great feature for a lot of people but I don’t want it when I actually speak the non-English language thank you very much 🤬 #ux

I wonder what @astrokatie.com thinks about this..

Interesting article. Wondering why he uses “UE” instead of UX. He’s really against all hypes that don’t make perfect logical sense it seems 😜

Thank you so much, April. We’d like to write an update too—so much has happened in a mere five years—but I think we have to tackle the bullshit machines first.

Kudos to @aeromexico.bsky.social staff for letting me seamlessly opt out of facial recognition during the boarding process. 🙏🏼
(Of course, ideally you would not use facial recognition to begin with 😉)

Scientists Finally Reveal Biological Basis of Long COVID Brain Fog.

Patients with brain fog may have disrupted AMPA receptor (AMPAR) expression—key molecules for memory and learning. Imaging of Long COVID patients showed elevated AMPAR density tied to more severe cognitive impairment.
