"$20 each for five Siri-enabled devices" so people got spied on without their consent by a private company and their reward is, at most, a crisp C-note. great country we've got here.

Affluent Republicans have routinely purchased prominent brands like Newsweek, and turned them into so-called “zombie” brands amicable to right-wing ideals. All while CBS, Vice Media, the Washington Post, the Los Angeles Times, and CNN responded to authoritarianism by softening their criticism of Republicans, hiring more Republicans for “diversity,” and further amplifying right-wing voices under the pretense the ideology was somehow under-represented.

Preemptively appeasing authoritarianism (or “obeying in advance”) makes everything worse, but modern media outlets, keen on protecting access, advertising reach, and the interests of affluent white male ownership, aren’t incentivized to learn the lesson.

some folks think I'm being hyperbolic or alarmist when I say that federal consumer protection is effectively now illegal under our corrupt Supreme Court, but I'm not kidding And net neutrality will be far from the only casualty. It's going to get very, very, very ugly kids

i've just learned that humans are just about the sweatiest animals that we know of. this means challenging aliens to a game of basketball, a particularly sweat-inducing game, is tactically sound, since aliens would *likely* overheat way before humans would. this is my PhD thesis about space jam

Wow. In all the years of running Techdirt I never once thought to put together an after-the-fact "hypothetical portfolio" that out performs a sensible portfolio and tried to make it seem like young men were missing out by not betting on shitcoins. I must not be good at journalism.

Using AI to write your games does two things to me: + It disrespects the necessary processes of design + It cheapens your own abilities. There is no quick and easy way to design the nuts and bolts of your game. There is no way of getting good beyond constant experimentation and failure.

By choosing to use AI art, AI writing, AI anything in your product, you are sending this signal to me: "I have zero confidence in my ability to try hard and create anything, so I would rather steal the work of others and put my name on it." Your AI works have no soul, and show no grit.

Cave's of Qud released yesterday after 15 years of development and I am completely enthralled by the visual work on display here. The info density, palette, and visual artifacts hitting on all cylinders in both the menu system and the environmental design of the gameplay. It's fucking good
Screenshot from Caves of Qud gameplay highlighting its use of a limited color palette to direct attention.Screenshot from Caves of Qud menu system (Quests) showing it's information density and text-heavy aesthetic.Caves of Qud character creation screen. It's very minimal in contrast to the other information dense screens in the menu system.The environmental design of Caves of Qud has beautiful moments of symmetry and again a powerful color palette.

I will never forgive these people for what they have done to the computer, and neither should you. I have watched them take the things that made me human - social networking, digital communities, apps, and the connecting fabric of our digital lives - and turned them into devices of torture, profitable mechanisms of abuse, and find it disgusting how many reporters seem to believe it's their responsibility to thank them and explain why it's good this is happening to their readers.

This hit my weak point for massive damage
don _hertzfeldt

Not to sound like a curmudgeon, but when I was a teenager, I took the train to go to the record store to find rare stuff. Spotify is way more convenient, but that wasn't the point. The point was to get out and to feel like you're hunting, to feel like you're living your life. I'm going to the movies, I'm going to this show. What streaming has done-it's very convenient, but it's taken the feeling of going hunting and turned it into we're all just being fed. We're all farm animals that are just being fed, and we're being fed content. You can just stay home. Just stay home. We'll just feed it to you. No wonder everyone's depressed.
