Capitalism: we have the best innovation, don’t we folks?

I love Fish

Certainly not a pump and dump…nope…nope…no way

She couldn’t be bothered to go to – or even send staffers to – Michigan. https://www.politico.com/story/2016/12/michigan-hillary-clinton-trump-232547 Then repeat basically the same laziness with Pennsylvania and Wisoconson https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/11/trumps-road-to-victory/507203/ because she assumed the Rust Belt would just vote for her.

She demonstrably phoned it in.

Another good reason not to use Google products

Yeah, Mailspring is what I use currently, but the sidebar pretty much just shows the list of e-mails, no other data, but it is the best of what I’ve found on my own.

Also, lots of sites embed the Meta Pixel. So to avoid it, you have to go into your cookie settings and block all of Meta’s domains and hope you don’t miss one. The internet was supposed to be a platform for all, by all…yet corporations have found a way to ruin the entire place.

Simon Caine makes the best videos revealing the crazy shit big tech does. I’m looking forward to the companion videos on Zuckbook and Twitter

I’m a year into developing my first game though and this means I don’t have to abandon all the progress I’ve made. After I publish this game, all bets are off as to where I go…or should I say where I godot.

Seriously, tech enshittiffication is feeling all too familiar.

I really don’t want you to be right, but I’m super convinced that you are.

I’m really hoping some of the bigger Unity devs, like the people that made Rust or Among Us sue, as most of us don’t have enough money to even stand a chance in court against Unity’s lawyers…especially once they have all that nice runtime money to spend. 😒

The video was more than I could have even hoped for: ignoring a pregnant woman who asked her to stop, taking flash photo selfies, getting felt up in a crowded theater, and flipping the bird to the poor people who work there chef’s kiss

Certainly Godot is the safer bet (probably why they are surging so much more right now), but Unreal is nowhere near as bad as Threads. Unreal is open source, and the license specifically forbids Epic from making retroactive changes like Unity just did:

7. The Agreement Between You and Epic

a. Amendments

If we make changes to this Agreement, you are not required to accept the amended Agreement, and this Agreement will continue to govern your use of any Licensed Technology you already have access to.

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! Unless you have anything to do with Unity, because there are no winners in this shitshow.
