Had a good chat with @jasonkoebler.bsky.social for the @404media.co podcast. Got a chance to talk about how tech companies main pitch changed from “you exchange some surveillance for services” to “we get to spy on you all the time and it’s good, actually.”

quick question for the skyline:
on a scale of 1-10, with 1 being a dumpster fire and 10 being absolutely perfect, how good is it that my company is scripting NAT firewall configurations for their clients through ChatGPT?
i should mention that several clients are government contractors.

Fusion centers were “involved in monitoring pro-Palestine demonstrations on at least five campuses across the country, as shown in more than 20,000 pages of documents obtained via public records requests exposing U.S. universities’ playbooks for cracking down on pro-Palestine student activism.”
How U.S. Universities Used Counterterror Fusion Centers to Surveil Student Protests for Palestine
Internal university communications reveal how a network established for post-9/11 intelligence sharing was turned on students protesting genocide.

since we're all talking about boycotting evo, can we (as the fighting game community) finally talk about moving our support from fake award shows that don't appreciate or respect the fighting game genre
or is it too soon?

ah yes: my fav award show ended up using indie game devs during the pandemic to juice numbers/recognition in a desperate attempt to stay relevant and now has axed the program bc don't want to be accountable for the people they "uplifted".
i want to say i'm disappointed but that would imply surprise

EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award.
The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.

Great to see more people encouraging others to take control of their message. In the "old days", this was the only option. With the rise of companies who "do it for you", you have to take the risk of the company not aligning with your values.

If you want to start a newsletter and don't want to use Substack because they currently platform/sponsor Nazis: consider using the free and open-sourced alternative that has been around for over a decade.
I'll personally walk you through it.
