The Rent-O-Meter must spin again! I really wanted to never see this thing again but instead of the holiday retail season beginning with Halloween our sales completely cratered and maybe folks are so excited for the coming New Little Deer that they’ve… stopped shopping with us in the meantime??

"Close parts of the Library, including the Science Reading Rooms, with the intention of replacing them with a coworking space operated by a private company. Outsource the in-house security function to a private sector security company." And ofc it's a CEO, not the people actually working

On 16 October, Jeremy Silver, Interim Chief Executive Officer, announced to staff that British Library management intends to:

    Close parts of the Library, including the Science Reading Rooms, with the intention of replacing them with a coworking space operated by a private company.
    Outsource the British Library's in-house security function to a private sector security company.


These proposals were announced to staff without any prior consultation with PCS. Alongside these issues, PCS members are also in dispute with management over its failure to make an improved and acceptable pay offer for 2026/27. 

PCS is seriously concerned about the proposed privatisation of staff and public spaces at an institution that has been publicly owned for over 50 years.

please sign these petition, started by British Library workers, demanding that the okans to privatise reading rooms and outsource security services are halted. (I for one had not realised the plan included the latter: the security staff at the BL are lovely and it would be awful to see them lost)

Gross corporate Unity things are often followed by a flood of 'Godot!!11' comments… and then people compare engine capabilities, and make their conclusion. But Godot represents more than just its capabilities. Here's why I think Godot's "business model" is better for pro game devs than Unity's. 🧵👇🏼

Reuters - 'Gaming software provider Unity Software has held recent talks to be acquired by a consortium of investors ‌including private equity firm Silver Lake Partners and Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund PIF' 'Valuation of $25 billion was discussed in recent weeks'

Regarding the Unity news… Has everyone tried Godot yet? It’s an open-source game engine. And it’s GREAT. It’s been my go-to for prototyping for years and it’s only gotten better. Very organized, well-documented, with a whole integrated dev environment. Much love for #Godot.

Good morning #GameDev friends! Like any dev, I’ve got notebooks and hard-drives full of various prototypes and potential games. Seeing everyone’s projects on here, I thought there might be some value in showing off something I was cooking up last year. #IndieDev #Prototype #ProcGen #Godot

Screenshot of a game prototype with pixel art, depicting a small lake near a coastline surrounded by gentle hills and trees. The graphics are not very advanced at all. At the bottom are some sliders related to things like tree density and terrain noise, with a button to generate new terrain.

Alright it’s lunch break call your reps power hour aka “I overcame my struggles with task initiation to spend 6 min telling my reps to back new leadership & defend trans rights”o’clock Call your reps, fax em, email. No excuses. The work didn’t stop Tuesday

Hey, friends! Money where my mouth is time - PLEASE call your Democratic reps and senators and tell them to publicly REJECT any anti-trans words or policies espoused by anti-trans Democrats elect like @joshturek4iowa.bsky.social! Gotta head this shit off. gregpak.net/2026/11/04/c...

Bsky experiencing a surge? Filled with the thrill of revenge? Make it queer with this list of people! Who make gay shit! It includes such fantastic works such as Every Yuri is Doomed when I'm at the wheel Monster fucking? More like monster Trucking! (And fucking) And Doomgyaru in Love

Update : happy ending ´cause we spoke with the dental center's staff, and they were all angry at the AI phone system that created a lot of errors for them in their daily work; and for their patients. They have put down it after only 3 weeks of complaints from everyone. We all hate that. 🤠

My partner had try a dental appointment for the two of us at the dental office that’s been treating us for a few years. They’ve added an AI to their phone system. Right now, we have 3 appointments for the 2 of us with 3 different dentists.
