I never noticed it before, but you are 100% correct.

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.

Anyone with a sleeping baby, anyone who works nights, anyone who is elderly and doesn't check their phone often, they've all just been massively disturbed to remind them not to use a disposable barbecue. What a way to make a joke of one of the most critical pieces of UK infrastructure.

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".

"Reform UK's Shadow Chancellor"?? They don't have a shadow chancellor. They are not the opposition. Why are we dignifying Reform making things up and stating them as fact?

I have had this problem. It's because the person to come pick it up and take it to the hospital lab comes at 11. Though 11 seems a bit early. Kind of a piss take, if you will...

In what I've seen in my 7 years in the tech and finance industries, that character is taken straight out of real life, and is barely a satire.

I started making a site for Pokopia and was working really hard to make sure I didn't take anything from any other sites. Wish that others were as courteous.

I mean, if you saw how it was before, "it works now" is a perfectly valid patch note for this 🤣

We are now working on a few new UX updates, as well as moving on to the Pokedex, including the abilities and habitats! Oh, and images. Big updates underway.

Hello Pokopia players! New updates have dropped on pokopiadb.io! Step 1 being the new URL! We have moved to pokopiadb.io. Second is a massive update to the mobile version, meaning it now works nicely. On top of that, we've added a bunch of new recipes, so go check it out!

Ah. I see. I genuinely thought there might be some nuanced discussion about games in there. Nope, just the kind of person who can identify the year a glue was made by taste alone. You have a nice night.

Ok, so despite the fact that showing a face is hardly a self dox, why insult appearances? Like, you want people to see your point of view, so make an argument with some basis. Or if you're just out to start fights, at least be honest about it?

The next batch of updates will be working to make the site work nicely on mobile, then we can move on to a Pokédex too!

#pokopia players, I've made some updates to pokopiadb.qgdev.co.uk ! All the recipes are now sorted by category, even in your search results. There's also a huge amount of new crafting information added! Go have a look!

QG @qgdev.co.uk · 09/03/2026
Thank you! It's very much a work in progress and there's a lot to do, but I wanted it out there for people to use and try!

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

The first draft of my game's main character, looking adorable. Hoping to use this to influence the entire game style. Shout out to @smollnikki.bsky.social for making them! #gamedev #indiedev

So now I'm remaking it to hopefully use a similar mechanic for a vertical climber game where you play as a spider. I don't want to let this one go as it's a really simple project, and it'd be fun to get it polished. Hopefully this will make a bit more sense when it doesn't have planets in it!

QG @qgdev.co.uk · 07/02/2026
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

Actually a really solid idea! This was just meant as a procedural generation test, but this being a menu screen or similar is definitely something I'll bear in mind
