You may have heard about Google's decision to lock down Android for non-Play Store apps (unless you jump through hoops). There's a movement to do something about this at keepandroidopen.org and if you want help them you can sign the petition at c.org/tmHJHywLDD
keepandroidopen.org
Keep Android Open
Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

Largely agree but also terrified that Steam is currently the last Bastion for indies.

You can also follow and support the Center for Humane Technology. They do incredible work in raising awareness about the harms of technology and how we can do something about it. Two members of CHT were interviewed in the doc btw. www.humanetech.com

I highly recommend the doc. Watch it if you haven't already. And please talk to your elected officials about the need for AI safety regulations to be designed and implemented, like was the case with nuclear weapons.

This might be the *An Iconvenient Truth* moment for AI. I think more people are talking about AI in a less passive way and realizing how both dangerous and incredible this tech can be, and that **such power should not be concentrated in the hands of five men**.

The film interviews both top AI CEOs, as well AI safety specialists and activists, so really good journalism here imo. The filmmakers are asking the right questions, working through the slop, and trying to navigate this new wave of AI—and all the anxiety around it—in a healthy way.

Some good news about #ai. I saw the film, The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist the other day. Very heartfelt and human take on working though AI anxiety, co-directed by award-winning documentary director Charlie Tyrell. www.imdb.com/title/tt3915... 🧵👇

Big Oil is raking in record profits while the rest of us are struggling to heat our homes and cover our transportation costs. We must electrify our future and phase out oil dependence. Demand Powerlines not Pipelines: 350.org/canada/no-pi...

Carney's using Trump as an excuse to push through new toxic tar sands pipelines and gut key federal climate policies. This puts us all in danger while making Big Oil richer. We've got to fight back!

Been deving for a long time but I've only been venturing into graphics programming & three.js recently. Working on a portfolio & was really inspired by the Fair Phone, so I made this scrolling animation. Made with Affinity Designer, Blender, #threejs and GSAP to make it. What do you think?

It was really cool to go from, "I guess this the bed we made; let's just get this game over with," to, "OK now I *really* want to make this game and play it."
