I am this god damn close to starting to make type 1 diabetes content focused around tech, because there's so much stuff out there but no one seems to focus on the tech behind it. The apps are all shit, the UX of everything is awful. I have spent hours figuring things out and it's still bloody awful.

The British Government just used a country wide disaster alert mechanism with full klaxon sounds to remind people not to start fires. This is the same alert system designed to warn of impending catastrophe, including war, evacuation orders, and in the worst case, inbound nuclear strike.
Screenshot of the UK emergency alert delivered to a phone, warning people not to perform any activity that may start a fire.

It's a hilarious moment to see the company that you left due to poor mental health and burnout spouting LinkedIn bollocks about how they're helping out for "mental health week".

MASH is one of the greatest shows ever made. It centers a group of highly skilled people who are scared to be there, who hate the war that is happening there, and who will do their damnedest to help every single person they can for so long as they're suck there.

#pokopia friends, I've launched pokopiadb.qgdev.co.uk! It's a calculator to help figuring out your crafting recipes. It's very early stages, mobile doesn't work very well, and the recipe list is by no means complete, but hopefully it'll help you figure out what items you need!

Pros of being on call: money. Cons of being on call: being woken up at 0230 to lead on fixing a production incident, sitting in a teams call with 7 other people who also don't want to be there, then not getting back to sleep until 0600.

We just found out our AI has been making up
analytics data for 3 months and I'm gonna
throw up.

So we've been using an Al agent since November to
answer leadership questions about metrics. It seemed
amazing at first fast answers, detailed explanations,
everyone loved it.
I just found out it's been hallucinating numbers this
entire time.
Our VP of sales made territory decisions based on
data that didn't exist. Our CFO showed the board a
deck with fake insights. The Al was just inventing
plausible sounding percentages.
I only caught it by accident when someone asked me
to double check something. I started digging, and
holy shit, it's bad.

So I have the spawning working a bit better now, definitely still needs some work, but it's definitely good enough for testing. Swinging mechanics are working nicely, stamina added, and a boost ability. Slowly coming together #indiedev #gamedev #godot

So I started messing with this as the concept of an infinite runner set in space. The problem is there's nothing to slow you down in space, so there's no real challenge. You could gain velocity from swinging from the planets, but you wouldn't lose anything

Images of the statement now with alt-text. www.crabmuseum.org/visit
Today the Supreme Court voted to exclude a group of persecuted people from equality legislation.

Their ruling centred on the word "biology", with the judge stating that biological sex is "assumed to be self-explanatory and to require no further explanation."

Speaking in a professional capacity as museum of biology: this is not how biology works.There are no binaries in nature, and biology, like all sciences, should never be taken for granted or assumed to be "self-explanatory". Even worse, it should never be used to justify weaponised culture war issues.

This ruling is an abuse of science.We have spoken many times before about this - there is immense variation between individuals within a biological sex.

Biological sex itself (not just gender) is a spectrum - and it really shouldn't be a big deal.

If you don't like trans people then just be honest about your prejudices.

But don't use biology to support your views in the same way that racists do.Our trans siblings must be defended at all costs. If we allow the limitation of their rights then other minorities won't be far behind.

Maybe you'll be next?

Everybody bully Elon so hard lately. You can hear in his voice how much everything is getting to him. His company is dying, his website is getting hacked, his approval rating is abysmal. I can’t help but feel like we’re better than this… We’re capable of bullying him 100x harder, step up your game

old Soviet joke for our times: Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to. Guy says: “looking for an obituary.” Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.” Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

Voice talent has been integral to each of our games. Recently, questions arose here about how we work with our voice talent, which we want to address.

Actors breathe life and humanity into everything we do, and over time, we've gone from working with a small number from our team to dozens of individuals around the world. We offer the strongest AI protections in the industry to our talent, as we think their work is irreplaceable.

Our games are intentionally made by human beings; no generative AI is being used in the creation of the voiceover, artwork, or any other content that goes into them.

We have not re-cast any of our characters in Hades II, and wish to keep working with each and every member of our wonderful cast.

We have respected and will continue to respect any actor needing to pause work during the ongoing SAG-AFTRA video game strike. While none of our games have ever been subject to SAG-AFTRA contracts for a variety of reasons, we wish SAG-AFTRA the best in their negotiations to compel larger signatory studios to provide the kinds of protections we think actors deserve.
