In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously! itch.io/b/3802/game-...
literally these are books that would be pulped if not bought for 10 cents on the dollar. do rare books sometimes make it into there? yeah, if someone is careless, but that's *upstream* of what happens on sale, not *downstream*. you fundamentally are rescuing something from the fucking pulper.
evil maid@lenazun.bsky.social · 7d agothere's no need to get outraged by every single thing. book destruction is not some kind of sin. it's not like they're trashing rare editions. lots of books get pulped all the time. now you're just looking for ways to be mad.
ate a dessert pastry with such joyous abandon that I had to go wash my beard in the shower no regrets

If you can donate, please do. If you were previously not eligible to donate, the criteria have been SERIOUSLY revised: you are no longer deferred for spending time in England/the EU and the sexual risk screening has been replaced with a much more evidence based model.

Did OpenAI hack Hugging Face or didn't they? It seems like it should be a simple question but I did a pile of research and it seems the answer is very complicated indeed. https://seldo.com/posts/did-openai-hack-hugging-face-or-didnt-they/
Did OpenAI hack Hugging Face or didn't they? | Seldo.com
OpenAI's AI agent autonomously hacked Hugging Face while benchmarking cyber capabilities — a textbook CFAA violation, except the only entity that "intended" anything was the model, which isn't a legal person. Everyone's being collegial about it. The law has no answer. We should probably get one before the next victim isn't.

The most SEGA game that’s not by SEGA is out! I’ve been waiting for this since I tried the brilliantly bonkers demo and I’m so glad it appears to be really actually that good
AndresPlays@andresplays.bsky.social · 3w agoDenshattack! is already one of my favorite games of the year. Its wild premise, elevated by its tight skateboarding-style gameplay, impossibly groovy soundtrack, and strangely heartfelt narrative, makes for an unforgettable train-driving adventure. Here is my review:
when you're a non-profit some extremely generous and kind nerds will try to gift you a code puppy. you must say no.
Oppenheimer’s arc has eerie parallels to the last story of sonic adventure 2, especially the part when he realizes he went too far and put humanity at risk so he has to team up with the good guys to take down the biolizard once and for all
Lot of contempt for learners in the replies on this thread for a field that has not succeeded at meaningfully moving its demographics in decades
Tess Snider@malkyne.com · 4w agoI am exasperated with people accusing programmers of "gatekeeping" programming. We were practically dragging people through the gate. Do you know why a mindless LLM can tell you so much great programming information? It's because we've been sharing that information for free online for decades.
Sure, we programmers want to help when you TALK to us. When we're writing code to be used by humans? NOT SO MUCH. Our most popular tools, and their unhelpful error messages, come from a culture that insists brevity is more important than accessibility. There's your gatekeeping. Don't believe me?

I wonder how many people would buy the Steam Machine if they sold it without RAM & SSD. I’d take those from my current PC and the thing would literally cost about half the price
The Verge@theverge.com · 4w agoThe Steam Machine’s drawbacks are many: It’s really expensive, it competes with six-year-old console hardware, and you can’t upgrade its GPU. And yet, I’m obsessed with how easily Valve’s tiny 6-inch cube fits into my TV console, my desk, and my life. Read more from @jaypeters.net:
Let’s hear it for game devs who do free content+QoL updates for years after release. No Man’s Sky is the poster child here, but I’m constantly amazed by the number of indies who substantially add to the game experience long after they’ve been paid. (And yes, I know this helps sell the game + DLCs)
Marcin Wichary@aresluna.org · last mo.I know software updates can be exhausting these days. On top of regular weariness of things changing, there’s stuff like Liquid Glass, or thoughtless AI integrations. So, I’m curious: What is the recent software update, anywhere, that made you happy?

A great example of a legendary scene that was almost entirely saved by the edit. What they shot looked terrible: unconvincing set, hastily constructed from styrofoam; actors who didn’t really know what to do, and who (in the full shot) looked ridiculous. They all thought they’d utterly fucked it.
