blue sky is supreme because every time you post you get 100 school principals in the replies asking to see you in their office

how did we reach the point where if everyone who named their companies after things from the lord of the rings died this world would instantly become a much better place

deltarune measurably improved my life because earlier this year i was like "i should probably take better care of my health if i want to play chapters 3 and 4" and now replace those with chapter 5

Why is a class action lawsuit against Amazon alleging Prime Day is a scam getting zero coverage by mainstream media?

Could it be because media outlets get a cut when a customer purchases a Prime Day product when clicking through their featured deals?

h/t @juddlegum.bsky.social

UPDATE: Lawsuit alleges Prime Day is a fraud

The federal class action lawsuit has been ignored by major media outlets, which continue to promote Prime Day deals.

my problem with leddit is that so much of its userbase is the worst kind of person on the internet but then you discover a subforum called “ kitchencels “ and it’s about people lamenting their broken love lives while posting poorly lit pictures of food. and then you can’t call the platform sauceless

Koizumi was a crucial figure in making both Link's Awakening and Majora's Mask go down their strange, wistful, dreamlike storytelling paths.

Koizumi and Eiji Aonuma co-directed Majora's Mask together--

Koizumi on writing the story for Link's Awakening, 2007.

PEOPLE:
- Yoshiaki Koizumi, age 39. Writer for A Link to the Past and Link’s Awakening.
- Shigeru Miyamoto, age 55. Producer of A Link to the Past and Link’s Awakening.

QUOTE:
Koizumi: Back then, the people who wrote the manuals often became the people who came up with most of the backstory for the entire game. The first real game work that I did was on Link's Awakening. … I came in to write the manual, as I did on [A Link to the Past]. But they had nothing in place. So I ended up making an entire story to go along with the game. The dream, the island, that was all mine.

And so that was my first experience doing the kind of work that we would now call "event design." But there were not too many people at the time with expertise in that area, so I really had free reign to do what I wanted, so long as I didn't make Miyamoto angry.

steam player numbers can be useful but i hate how it's absolutely ruined game discussion in lot of places

i still see people claim Sparking Zero is a "dead game" despite confirmed support because its like 99% of games and drops numbers hugely after launch

This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.
We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.
I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

I’m always saying the thing holding back mass Linux adoption is that one niche window manager isn’t compiled for RISC-V

Incredible NYT headline and subhead where the writer has to remind you that this is a bad thing lol

Media literacy is being able to understand why that last part is included here, but not for any story about the US abandoning its clean energy initiatives.

Discord post by catastrophic on the Framework forums

ey all, I was not online when this conversation was happening but I do want to provide a response to this. Our goal is to keep improving Linux compatibility on our products. We send hardware and are starting sponsorships to organizations across the Linux ecosystem to keep making the Linux experience on Framework products better and help scale Linux adoption overall. That includes providing hardware to Fedora, Bazzite, NixOS, FreeBSD, Arch Linux, and many other distros, and sponsorships of Linux Foundation, LVFS, Hyprland, a number of Linux and open source conferences, and some additional sponsorships we’ll be announcing soon. Providing hardware or sponsorship doesn’t mean that we align with all of the viewpoints or statements made by people in each organizations; it does mean that we see alignment in driving the adoption and maturity of Linux and open source software.

I’m sorry I wasn’t available when this was occuring and I hope that make things a little more clear on our stance.

the framework forums are imploding. its almost as if people with the kind of disposable income to pay premium for a repairable product lean left-wing and paying a fashy dude to maintain an open source project with your earnings is a bad idea

with nix at least once it's working, it's working and you can save it somewhere. with debian/ubuntu/fedora etc better write all that shit down and it will break next LTS version anywa

Donn @maybedonn.bsky.social · 1d

every time i use a distro that isn't nixos i quickly remember why i use nixos because dear GOD linux requires so many tiny tweaks to get something like a fucking pihole working and then you'll spend 8 days looking for the 8 magical sysctl invocations that will get it to stop FUCKING you
