I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

The fucking head of fucking XBox Graphics used a fucking "AI" slop image to hire new engineers but couldn't tell that the fucking screen on the fucking monitor is facing backwards.

Linked In post from Mike Matsel, Principle Development Lead, XBox Graphics: 

"The XBox Graphics team is hiring folks with experience with device drivers, GPU performance, or related validation or engineering system experience. If the positions are closed and you want to apply, please message me!"

And below it is an "AI" slop that reads in white on green "XBOX GRAPHICS IS HIRING" and an image of a woman in a green sweater wearing earpods typing on a computer, except the "AI" has put the screen on the back of the monitor.

SVG filters provide a basic lighting system you can sync with a little JavaScript and use in your web apps 💡 ... not as powerful as MacOS implementation but pretty cool

I hate research tasks & research level in legends arceus and despite liking the rest of the game that progression system really isn’t for me

Just a heads up, the sling bag that came with the collectors edition for the original SMT V Switch game is a *perfect* fit for carrying your Switch 2 + a case. Seriously, chefs kiss.

Someone spending $70 on fucking Mario instead of $60 is not something worthy of morally browbeating, you’re just being fucking weird. They aren’t taking a private jet to Chik Fil A, they’re spending $10 extra on Mario Party. You’re just being scolds over the dumbest imaginable consumer product.
