Because of Halloween, Minecraft's got this enderman running around the launcher. I'd pulled it up and left the room then came back for something, forgetting it was up doing its thing. I heard the enderman chirp and my fight or flight response kicked in for a split second... lol

Apparently some folks are playing real dumb about skull symbols so let’s play a little game I like to call “Nazi skull or not a Nazi skull”

First up, the Jolly Roger. This is a pirate skull, not a Nazi skull. It means you might get robbed, but prolly not genocided.

With me so far? 1/x

This. When I saw the news hit, that's when I knew the Nobel committee and the "Peace" prize was so utterly corrupt. "Let's give it to whomever the ruling class decides on."
By giving the award to the leader of Venezuela’s hardline, antidemocratic, right-wing opposition, the Nobel Committee has effectively crowned Trump’s vision of power and intervention as ‘peace’.

Machado has been committed to undermining Venezuelan democracy and sovereignty for decades.

The Nobel given to Venezuela’s Maria Corina Machado was really a prize for Donald Trump.

Funny finding out which of the games in your Steam library are Unity games based on the updates being pushed out over the security patch. Even some old games getting updated (great support!). :)

Honestly, Ellison's note is incredibly emblematic of our current problems. Nepo baby is put in charge of major news network by his billionaire father, who by the way is a major Trump supporter. Ellison Elder is a fundamentalist Zionist, close with Netanyahu, and huge donor to Israel.

Really want to encourage libraries - especially school libraries - to put no-AI content into your collection development policy. At the very least, if you have a clause in there about requiring accurate information, you can use that to weed out or prevent genAI purchases.
“When you get a suspicious book, “you look it up to see what else the [author] has written. And you see there's 30 things, and none of them have any reviews, and they were all written in the last two years,” DeMeester-Lane says.”
How Local Librarians Keep AI Slop Off the Shelves
AI is being used to create nonsensical, sometimes dangerously inaccurate books. Local librarians are tasked with keeping these volumes out of their collections.

Ah, jeez...one of my clients (who I develop for) mentioned they were "vibe coding" for some project they're working on. Maybe time to move on...then charge 10x for my time when they inevitably need to fix what they built...lol

I dunno about the EA news. Running a public company gives you some accountability but ultimately you're at the whim of shareholders that are gambling with your shares and just want profits regardless of your business model and what's right for your business long term. But private equity is worse.

It's almost like science and medicine has somehow saved millions, enabled the population of the world to grow and the average life span to increase...funny how that works.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

The sitting chair of the FCC should shut the fuck up and do their job or resign. It's not their place to chime in on anything unless it's actually illegal. You're a member of government. Read the constitution you swore to uphold.

I feel like this isn't getting enough play. Sick to death of companies trying to succeed by limiting creativity especially over an idea that isn't exactly original to them. Pokemon had an early run but then who cares? It's been DECADES since the original.
