Well all, life is a funny thing!
The last six months have been pretty buckwild - My team at Xbox was outsourced, I took another design contract that ended up being wildly incompatible with my physical disability, and my time in the video gaming industry is actually ending, with finality, on Friday

Looking to connect w other (current or former) SWs with tech skills or knowledge. I want to talk about what the future of safe and equitable sw platforms look like. This is a long time passion / fantasy of mine but I really want to get some brainstorming going now that I’m studying more backend dev

I do like the idea that a lot of this reaction to Blue Prince is just dressing up the fact that people had to do math in a video game for the first time since number munchers.

Its not just that the sex trafficking myths around the super bowl make life harder for sex workers, it's that the diversion of resources and media attention makes stories like this go under the radar for most people
In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse.
The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Louisiana coerced unhoused people into an unheated warehouse – and paid $17.5m for it
Dozens of New Orleanians were bused to a site with insufficient heating and blankets days before the city is to host the Super Bowl

Anybody positing that the problem with the games industry is that devs are too expensive is gonna get an instant block. For the cost of one EA CEO you could afford 213 devs making $120k apiece.
Read the room, my dudes; a LOT of very skilled people are out of work right now. Profits are trickling up

Alright y’all, I’m officially shifting focus towards this app as my primary art sharing, community engagement, etc app. Part of that is going to mean going through my list of followers to root out bots and shit heads, and curate my feed better for the media I’m ingesting.

This is your reminder to vet accounts that are nominally pro-sex work. This one just put me on their only blocklist, which is predominantly sex workers.
1.8 followers, and engagement baiting "give 👏 her 👏 your 👏 money 👏" style posts.

Also I just gotta say. From someone who has worked in tech for a decade: Absolutely fuck the developing AI. It’s egregious, immoral, and I encourage you all to learn more about it while there are still tons of resources accessible, bc survival will mean actively working against it or outpacing it.

folks, when you ask a chatbot about how it's programmed, it doesn't actually give you accurate answers - it gives you a series of predictive guesses drawn from a corpus of what other people have said about AI and the way you asked it. Meta's 'AI' personalities are not spilling secrets to you.

In other news though, I’m taking better care of myself and really thriving.
I have an amazing crew of friends, just started getting dicked down by the cutest/sweetest punk dad brit, I’m feeling secure in my identity and surround by love. All this despite career crisis and global shittery.
