Dreaded coming back from summer vacation because I felt I'd left my game project a complete mess. So it felt nice to boot it up and immediately see this. Maybe everything will be ok after all?

As an experiment, we (the Firefox team) wanted to try a new way to get feedback on which Interop proposals matter most.

So, here's a web app where you can rank the proposals you care about, giving us data we can use when reviewing which ones to champion.

(Wanted to repost this because it’s neat, but with the caveat that there should be a flashing lights warning for the bit towards the end.)

Never had a foldable so didn't know how fragile they are. Not just the immolation here, but the fact that you can scratch the screen with literally just a fingernail. o_o

They really should make devices like this with just 2 separate screens, Microsoft Courier style.

Watch: The Pixel 10 Pro Fold failed a durability test so badly its battery blew up

This foldable didn’t just fail — it flamed out.

At last, today is the day. I am immensely proud to announce that JavaScript for Everyone is here.

Tell a friend, tell a Slack channel — write it on a slip of paper, fold it once, and slide it across your boss' desk without breaking eye contact. _It's time to get weird._

JavaScript for Everyone

A high quality, expansive written course that will elevate your JavaScript skills to a level you never thought was achievable.

Mamoru Oshii planned it. A young Satoshi Kon took the lead on its layouts. The result: a stunning moment from Patlabor 2.

We're looking inside the film's martial law sequence, including storyboards and production art:

It's usually forbidden for humans to take anything from the Forest, but the ruins of Viridia are under a different set of rules.

#radiantviridia #thethiefoftales

Isometric ink drawing of a ruined city gate. There are giant trees and roots growing out of the walls and the gate. The two side images are of flowers and seeds, and a rich looking man. The title of the quest is: Retrieve seeds from the south gate.

Nice to see such a positive take on Sektori from @pcgamer.com. Seems that at least a site or two saw the release date announcement!

Prepare to have your brain fried by this electric shoot 'em up from an ex-Housemarque designer when it launches next month

Sektori's demo blew me away when I played it last year.

Long shot, but does anyone know of a DisplayPort → HDMI adapter that works with the original Oculus Rift (CV1) _for sure_?

(There are lots of adapters that _should_ in theory work, but in reality don’t. I already bought one.)

i think the only way for atproto to succeed is for us to show what apps can do when every app sees every other app's public data, and they share an identity system. no technical or sociological argument is as convincing as seeing seamless interop and the lighthearted competitive landscape it unlocks
