@jebox.bsky.social Hi Jens! Is there any hidden meaning behind the "rack" in "Netherrack"? I actually asked you via email back in 2014, and you told me it was just the name of the rock, but I'd like to add this info to the wiki and I can't really use a private email as a source

If kicking up a childish fit and shouting incoherently is the definition of "slammed", then I guess he has. So far I have heard no one on the right have a grown-up conversation with Zack. None of them can come up with a reasonable argument against him.

i love this
But I am more than a critic: I am a hater. I am not here to make a careful comprehensive argument, because people have already done that. If you’re pushing slop or eating it, you wouldn’t read it anyway. You’d ask a bot for a summary and forget what it told you, then proceed with your day, unchanged by words you did not read and ideas you did not consider.

Keep up the pressure! #SaveSpeech
In the last two weeks, we have seen a wave of censorship sweep across online retailers, particularly Steam and Itch.io. This is because of demands from payment processors as well as sex-negative activist groups like Collective Shout (originally reported by journalist Ana Valens, and then censored by VICE’s parent company).

UVW affirms that sex and sexuality belong in games. Games are works of art, created by workers who should be free to express themselves. It's important to encourage a healthy and critical discourse about the media we consume. One vocal minority cannot have the power to categorically silence creative expression, just because some sexual themes make some people uncomfortable.

Sexual art is art, sex work is work. Any attempt to suppress sexual art is an attempt to suppress all art. Any attempt to deny sex workers their dignity is an attempt to deny all workers their dignity.

Workers rely on platforms like Steam and itch.io to distribute their games, and it is workers who are suffering at the behest of this vocal minority. We call on the payment processors Mastercard, Visa, Stripe, and any other companies demanding compliance with this unjust action to reverse their policies and stand with the workers who have lined their pockets for years with their labor. We call on Valve and the Itch.io leadership to reverse their policies and stand with game developers.

We encourage our members and the general games community to use the resources in the quoted post to contact these payment processors directly and express how strongly we object to their actions.

"Understanding" is a pretty beautiful compound word...in this case "under" has a somewhat archaic meaning of "among" (also still present in "under these circumstances.") So understanding is "Standing among" as-in a mind that figuratively shares space with the concepts in question.

Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached. They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others. Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further. #UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.

I almost fell for a scam site today, pretending to be the homepage of an OSS project that I was looking for. It looked convincing until I scrolled to read more text. LLM slop is getting scary good at "looks good at a glance". I don't even know _how_ they managed this. Feeding LLM into LLM somehow?
A screenshot of a section of a website, where the text is describing what the text itself should say. For example, 'Clear Message: Show a short line like “DxWnd is safe, open-source, and malware-free.”' instead of the actual example text.

So a few weeks ago, some random kid on Discord managed to get my Facebook and all other Meta accounts suspended, with no chance of appeal and no way to make new accounts; hours after sending a nonsensical malicious threat. It’s horrific that this is actually possible
A discord reported message dialog showing “Get off your fucking high horse and RELEASE WORLDEDIT 21.5!!!
You're fucking psychotic for making us wait for your fucking moral on when is okay to release.
When grow up and your done with your fucking pmsing you'll understand. If you don't release it in 1 HOUR I will destroy your life and report every fucking online account you own for fucking sex trafficking or smth. Get the FUCK on it”

The thing we learned from Web2 is that the most impactful businesses became the most impactful by optimizing for addiction. Which means we should all ask, how would you optimize generative AI for addiction? Whatever makes it the most addictive is probably what it will become.

Leaks are a huge disappointment for the people who have worked on something for years and then don't get the joy of telling people about it. If leaks are good for the project itself isn't really relevant. Developers care about what they work on and feel pride to share on their own terms.
