@gruber.foo just was listening to the latest pod and I wanted to say I do believe the audio on the watch is truly private but my concern is for places like in Canada with two-party consent systems. You're not storing the audio, but you are still technically sampling audio without consent.

@reckless.bsky.social thinking about the last website on the internet and I was wondering if you've ever looked at McMaster-Carr's before. It's truly one of the most well-designed things I've ever used and I'm interested in your impression.

We've added screen space shadows to #ezEngine. In the video below, a dense vegetation scene tremendously benefits from this, making the leaves appear much more volumetric.

@reckless.bsky.social “This implies I have good access to the database of the 8-year old girls coming to my house next weekend” Sir, I just took a sip of coffee. Who can I bill at the Verge for the monitor I just damaged?

Please please let this be the beginning of the “find out” phase.

If we really do live in a simulation, it’s concerning that an advanced civilization couldn’t implement RTTI for it. #programming

@ubisoft.com here in Halifax @uwch.bsky.social unionized in Dec and today the company makes the “difficult” decision to close. I’d say I’m shocked, but it’s par for the course these days in gaming.

As a former Tesla and now ID4 driver, I can see why CarPlay is the best of a crap software situation. But man, could I go the rest of my life without it.

@davidimel.com battery scientist just listening to your Samsung episode and I can confirm that silicon carbon batteries aren’t quite at the lifespan of other others. Highly dependent on the silicon content and operating conditions, of course

Dang, the amount of damage Microsoft has done to the game industry over the years is just unhinged. The greed and hubris to buy up studios only to shutter them and the projects that people worked years on is beyond me.

@mark-carney.bsky.social There goes any credibility or leverage we had as a negotiator. Pretty disappointing.

Seeing the Command and Conquer source code, I have to assume this is what most people think of when they complain about C++. I mean damn, I really appreciate Unreal’s source code now - it kinda fucks. #gamedev #unrealengine

I’m curious how soon/far into development people knew the title of their game. Was it a eureka moment or was it something that took a lot of workshopping and brainstorming? I feel like I have a dozen ideas, some work as acronyms, but that feels like too much hubris #gamedev

Is anyone else irrationally drawn to the underdog option? I don’t know if it’s a desire to succeed in the face of adversity or subconsciously distracting myself from making the thing. Like, I could use Unreal’s ability system, OR I could hobble together my own in Godot 🤔 #gamedev

I love my American friends, and I apologize in advance that you may find out just how petty Canadians get when they feel an injustice has occurred.

Apparently Trump feels that Canadians would have much better health coverage if we joined the US. I mean no offence to my American friends, but how the fuck do you figure?

Jason @iamjbq.bsky.social · 07/01/2025
Still not sure how serious Trump is over his Canada remakes. One thing I am certain about is that if he didn’t dodge the draft, he might know that Canadian’s get real wild in times of war.

There’s a lot of talk about EV depreciation, but nothing is gonna tank the resale value of my Tesla like the fucking magnitude of Goldfish embedded in this thing.

Because you were probably wondering, I’ve done the calculations to save some time: It would cost approx. $48k per month to feed Clifford the big red dog.

Do people just go used guitar shopping when they’re drunk? I get dozens of “is this still available?” at like 11pm and then ghosted the next day after I respond.

I own a Model Y but I had to drive my wife’s Mazda 3 for a few days and unexpectedly enjoyed it. Not because of the gas engine, but the manual interaction. I had to turn on the lights and the wipers, and actually use the car. #EVs #givemebuttons #driving

Sometimes a two-year-old wakes up blind with rage, and other days they bark at you. Never a dull moment.

I’ll know @bsky.app hits true mainstream when my wife asks me what it is. I’ve deliberately not told her because it was hard enough to explain what threads was.

I tried to dive into Unreal Engine yesterday as a total newbie, but the starter files on their beginner courses aren’t even compatible with 5.5. Like, don’t you want people to use your shit?

Are we calling these skeets now? Can I tell my wife to hold on a sec while I fire off this skeet? I sometimes will skeet several times a day.

I keep popping between Threads and @bsky.app and Threads just feels so sterile and black and white. Really happy to see things growing here!
