As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series

You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Sony: Our consoles cost $900+ Me: Oof. That's rough, but everything is expensive. Sony: We're not making physical games anymore. Me: What? Why? Sony: Also, you don't own any digital copies of games you pay for. Me: Is there some kind of massive carbon monoxide leak at Sony HQ?

Random realization that Bsky and similar social media are probably the closest analogue to Outer Wild's non-linear communication system we have that's popular. No manual threads or branches needed. Just reply to what you wanted and the tree is created for you.

they're effectively saying "human performances take too long and cost too much, but we still feel entitled to the appearance of having professional voice acting"

idk about you but having professionals perform their craft inside value extraction pods, solely for the sake of growing the productivity slop hivemind so that it can erase humanity from future art projects, doesn't exactly strike me as the utopian "ethical AI" they're trying to convince me it is

All for simpler UX, but "We're getting things ready for you" or "Customising your experience" loading bars for 10 minutes are not useful. What is this new standard?

Companies hiding screws underneath glued pads is so evil, forcing you to buy replacement parts for things that aren't even the problem, but you need to destroy them to fix the actual issue.

Spending some of my vacation tinkering and learning grandMA3 basics, and honestly this is really fun. Nothing advanced yet, still pretty early on, but I love how easy it is to play around with, once you learn the basics. Naturally I'm already planning what to do if I ever buy a physical console.

I don't normally subscribe to the "German has a word for it" thing because all languages can invent and borrow new words! That said, I can't stop thinking about "hobbyless" as an insult since I saw it a few days ago, so here you go It promotes a growth mindset!! www.tumblr.com/abbiistabbii...

user abbiistabbii:
The Germans really cooked making "Hobbyless behaviour" an insult. It is both devastating, applicable to a wide range of people and behaviours, and doesn't resort to swearing.

Man ranting on the internet about the Superbowl halftime show or complaining that something is "woke"? Hobbyless Behaviour. Girls mocking another girl for not looking right? Hobbyless Behaviour. Mindless vandalism? Hobbyless Behaviour.

It is more powerful than "get a life" or the English "You're Sad" because it gets to the central point of the matter, and that is wonderful. Danke, Deutsch.

It's amazing that YouTube thinks I'm so inept at deciding what I want to watch it has to add a "Relevant" section to a chronological list of videos from channels I'VE CHOSEN TO SEE. And then that addition means they break that chronological order so now they need ANOTHER container named "Latest."

You don’t understand, we gotta burn out senior experienced devs, so we can keep having the same 5 discourses on a loop. There is a very real risk that if we treat people with respect and manage them well that we might have to stop re-debating basic terminology and practices.

My biggest grievance with live-service games: Missing a few sessions, or joining friends who have played a while, and being of no use to the team. When the choices are to catch up solo, get carried through the game, or the friends having characters specifically for you, it gets hard to keep playing.
