Bingo Betty is basically a crazy Balatro-fied version of Bingo
This is not your grannie's Bingo, this is underground Bingo that clearly takes some fun elements of Balatro to make things a bit nuts.

I have switched to Linux as my main OS over 6 months ago after 30 years of using Windows.

Would you be interested in seeing a short video on how I made the switch and what to expect if you plan to switch from a game developer perspective?

Don't want to fill up timelines with this too often but...

Given all that's going on with Grok generating all sorts of terrible shit against women and minors, this is probably not the hill you want to die on.

Arguing against what should be indefensible to any reasonable person.
Tim Sweeney on X (via xcancel) commenting on U.S. Senators calling for X/Grok to be removed from app stores, due to CSAM and other non-consensual sexual material. Sweeney says: " Reason #42 for open platforms: to shut down every politician’s incessant demands to all gatekeepers to censor all of their political opponents." And " All major AIs have documented instances of going off the rails; all major AI companies make their best efforts to combat this; none are perfect. Politicians demanding gatekeepers selectively crush the one that's their political opponent's company is basic crony capitalism."

Still on Twitter / X? Leave it. Otherwise you’re okay with this too.

Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it.

(also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary)

Jeez, all these sites jumping on the “leaked” price of the Steam Machine are so dumb.

The website listing it are not authorized retailers, they’re speculating the pricing.

So much clickbait from content farms 🙃
