say what you will about the myriad valid concerns with current LLMs but I personally will never get over the fact that Aaron Swartz was prosecuted to his literal death for downloading JSTOR and then a decade later, they downloaded & ingested the entire world and our IP laws just went ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

points at sign: THE GAMES INDUSTRY’S CUSTOMER IS THE STOCK MARKET, NOT THE GAMER Live service games are seen as ‘worth the risk’ because when one blows up (Roblox, Fortnite, GTA Online) it makes so much money that it covers all previous failures and more. What gamers say is irrelevant to this.

Can't believe I had kept the Nier series in my backlog for this long. Nier: Automata is easily one of the best games I've ever played.

Finished playing 'The case of the Golden Idol'. Added it to my list of fav detective games along with 'Return of the Obra Dinn' and 'Roottrees are dead'. Gotta check the hype behind 'Ace Attorney' sometime. Will get them on the next steam sale. In the meantime, I'm going to start playing Sable.

My personal GOTY game award this year would be split 33.33% each between E33, Hades 2 and Silksong. Was pure joy playing them all, so much that I got Platinum (on Steam) in all of them. Blue Prince is also fun, although not done with it yet. Puzzles keep unravelling like an onion even after R46.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

4-panel Comic. (1) STUDENT: If the wavefunction only collapses when I observe it, does that mean my consciousness affects the universe? (2) [Bad:] PROFESSOR: Yes, quantum entanglement proves that we all have souls. (3) [Good:] PROFESSOR: No, consciousness plays no role here. It’s just physical measurement. (4) [Chaotic:] PROFESSOR: No. The wavefunction collapses when *I* look at it because I’m a full professor. It won’t collapse for an undergraduate.

Google is building a giant, dystopian wall around the Android garden. Over the summer they quietly stopped releasing the source code for "Vanilla" Android, slowing GrapheneOS to a halt. Now this. Soon, being able to manage your own files on your own smartphone will be a luxury of the past.

“The distance between what is said, and what is known to be true, has become an abyss…The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil. When truth leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands - we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest.”
