I made it to Kanna listing crafting stats before I figured out what's going on.

I don't know how someone makes it thinking they're a leftist and not knowing that nazis were calling themselves National Socialists. Fascists wear masks. Should be first thing anyone leaning left learns about fascists.

I’ve been reading the protocol docs and there’s a lot of stuff in there that just feels kinda weird until you consider that the authors’ main reference for distributed systems is crypto

someone needs to do a thorough writeup of every clear tell of atproto as a blockchain project that pivoted, because their 2025 reflex is to deny it as hard as possible even though they're all coiners and so much of it reeks of blockchain

That's 70% of why I love that album. The tea is spicy. The other 30% is catchy songs.

The beauty of living in the age of mass information overlapping with highest world population so far.

We were naive to think we'll see mostly thinkers and poets.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

You might be underestimating how many of your followers are the sort that might invent teleportation out of combination of spite and desire for hot wings.

Unless that's your plan for nudging us towards Star Trek future. In which case, hope it works.

I remember, there used to be a similar satirical publication in Russia. Some time last decade, people started writing in asking them to stop writing, because it keeps happening IRL.

This little twerp, who’s been there a few months, axed two of the lions of WaPo??

Fisher is an investigative champion and had been at The Post for 39 years. Hoffman had been there for 42, and he won a Pulitzer LAST YEAR.

Oliver Darcy @oliverdarcy.bsky.social · 22h

Last week, new WaPo opinion editor Adam O'Neal quietly carried out another purge of staffers, cutting editors and major names like Marc Fisher and David Hoffman, among others.

Meanwhile, he welcomed three conservatives to the section.

Adam O’Neal says he’s bringing “intellectual diversity” to The Washington Post’s opinion pages—but the moves he’s making behind the scenes tell a different story.

You know what upsets me the most too.
When i see Devs write.
"We made everything by ourselves BUT we used ai for sounds etc" and im like if you put in so much effort for the whole game. Why waste it all away by not just buying some cheap assets that can be reused?

Hate looking at a game on Steam and scroll down and it says "we used AI Generated Content"
At least Steam shows that though

Rudy is the real deal. Been waiting for an update, and he sure has it! Makes me really glad I migrated @gregpak.com to Blacksky's myatproto.social PDS for non-Black users - gonna migrate @gregpak.net over asap as well.

I hear and see your concerns. Over the weekend, a couple users hosted on Blacksky's PDS were banned from the Bluesky app and thus the Bluesky API servers. This was a weakness of our system I've been aware of and hoped we had more time to address before any kind of public incident. 1/11

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

This facility has no showers, no kitchen, and was never designed to hold people longer than twelve hours. Yet ICE data and family members of those detained have shown people are held in there for days. Sometimes a full week.

I've had really good results roasting a cup-worth at a time in a cheap hot air popcorn maker. Though, chaff does end up flying all over, so it's not the cleanest method.
