I checked the traffic stats after the Steam Winter Sale ended. Bluesky traffic exceeded Twitter traffic by a lot.
For those who have just left twitter/X and are afraid for their financial security as they try to rebuild, I want to share my experience as it will hopefully provide a bit of comfort.
Earlier this year I ran a Kickstarter. Bsky outperformed Twitter for backers by more than 3x.

Four breathtaking journeys, four finalists for Adventure Game of the Year. But only one will emerge victorious. Who will take home the golden tentacle?"

Crunch is bad. Crunch ruins lives. Crunch kills. Don't ask for it. Don't do it. It's bad.

This Maccabi Tel Aviv/policing/AI story is wild!
Often it’s not the use of AI, per se, that’s the problem.
It’s the uncritical acceptance of the stuff it churns out.

We'll be publishing our full report from the hearing tomorrow afternoon (UK time), but needless to say, there's an awful lot of additional context to understand about what happened here.
This is a really tough outcome for the union's members, especially those who were in the UK on work visas.

BREAKING: A UK judge has *denied* interim pay to the 31 employees fired by Rockstar Games last year, saying she "was unable to conclude that it appears likely that the tribunal will find that the principal reason for the claimants’ dismissal" was union organizing www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
Fired Rockstar Employees Denied Pay by UK Judge
The 31 staffers argued they were dismissed for unionizing. Rockstar said they were fired for leaking information in an online chat group.

I was rewatching The Illusionist (2010) to capture some ref and I swear every frame of it is just perfection.

Less Miserables on Steam
A point-and-click parody of Les Miserables. Part 'Monkey Island', part 'Allo 'Allo, Less Miserables aims to do for 'Les Misérables' what 'Life of Brian' did to The Bible. Vive la révolution!
