Your daily reminder that more people are playing and buying PC games than ever before. This is a growing industry. The only reason the industry is struggling is because the people are the top are vacuuming up all the money made to divert it to AI in an unhinged all-in multi-trillion-dollar gamble.

That's the real kicker about it. Like, yeah it's flooded with gimmick accounts who repeat the same phrase on every "review" they make, and a whole bunch of scammers, and all the bullshit right wing hate mob ones. It would be a tremendous system if Valve cleaned house, but they won't.

It's maddening, because the curator system is actually really good when used properly. If you follow a curator their recommendations will start showing up on your homepage, and it's an excellent way to get some hand picked suggestions over algorithmic ones, but Valve lets it fester with bad actors.

There isn't anywhere on the internet that is actually good for having a conversation about current events. There just isn't. It's two megaplatforms run by nazis, a bunch of dead malls, and then bluesky which is a dead mall run by nazis

the problem of course is that Twitter (and Instagram, which is bigger) is so heavily manipulated by its owner that being on there is not going to make you more informed, it's just going to expose you to more right-wing propaganda

It is hard to picture a world in which Tim Schafer "accidentally" laid off specifically every person in his company who had led a Unionization effort or supported it. Very tough to imagine that being an accident, and kind of fatally sabotages Tim's "good guy" vibes.

With feminism and anarchism both, mass appeal will never be a viable option. We are fighting to change everything and so everything is against us. That doesn’t mean our movements are doomed to fail, not at all, it just means we need to take that asymmetry into account and strategize accordingly.

I don’t care about changing men’s hearts or making them into feminists. I think serious attempts to do so are doomed to cooptation or failure. We cannot convince men to care about women and we don’t need to. The asymmetry in power is a given, so meaningful feminist action must be insurgent.

Software engineering could and should be done with the same care as any other type of engineering. This is a post in honor of Margaret Hamilton (and also a subtweet of all vibe-coders everywhere).

Screencap

"“I fought to bring the software legitimacy so that it — and those building it — would be given its due respect, and thus I began to use the term ‘software engineering’ to distinguish it from hardware and other kinds of engineering, yet treat each type of engineering as part of the overall systems engineering process,” Hamilton told El Pais in 2018. “When I first started using this phrase, it was considered to be quite amusing. It was an ongoing joke for a long time. They liked to kid me about my radical ideas. Software eventually and necessarily gained the same respect as any other discipline.”"

Just read an article about a survivor of a sexual assault that gave a moment-by-moment graphic description of the assault itself in the text. This shit isn’t raising awareness, it’s another part of rape culture. Its target audience is everyone but other victims, who it unnecessarily triggers.

An element of publicly agitating against intimate violence that’s hard and painful to manage is that no matter how carefully you communicate your story or feminist perspective, you’re doing so in a media environment that relates to intimate violence exclusively on its value as entertainment content.

people keep trying to argue with bluesky t&s using things like "logic" and "facts" and "well-reasoned arguments delivered with patience in good faith" and I just don't think that kind of thing works on people who explicitly do not care about doing a good job, but just hate mouthy trans women.

the strategy going forward is that you are done making moderation decisions. you need to start empowering users to use the tools that were built for THEM to moderate how they want and what they want. your moderation team handles legal issues: ACTIONABLE threats, CSAM, etc.

they keep saying openly how much they fucking hate their userbase and that’s fucking… whatever tbh. but then you need to focus on composability and STOP making moderation decisions. make the product WORK so we can move instead of being hostile while we’re forced to be here.

It's easier to think that people are cutting off their family because of social contagion or viral therapy trends than it is to accept that families are very often places of pain and domination where escape is the only alternative to lifelong misery or death.

I think people get nervous and scared when they see liberation in process, because it pushes them toward thinking about their own suffering AND their own complicity in or silence about the suffering of others.

I think when we hem and haw about people going no-contact with their families and what it says about society, what we're often doing is revealing our own discomfort with seeing others starting to pull blocks out of the Jenga tower of Empire and refusing to suffer Just Because.

Most of the talk about forgiveness and restoration is really about convenience. You don't want the hassle of kicking the sex pest out of your spaces, you don't want the Inconvenience of having to find a new video games youtuber to watch, so the onus is placed on people who have been hurt to forgive.
