Early on in the smartphone era, big tech convinced itself it invented the tricorder (it didn't) and every failed hype bubble since has chased that original high, picking whatever bullshit they can pull from science fiction to market it.

this is stupid but at some point i think we have to confront the fact that there appears to be a not insignificant demand for videogames to be the holodeck, an infinite virtual playground you can basically live in. except even holodeck programs were actually written by someone, right?

In honour of the Halo Remake Reveal, here's my blog post about how doing these is cheap'n'nasty and a colossal point miss.

tbh if you look at Halo's visuals and see something limited by the tech of its time you're artistically illiterate

yeah this is the one i really don't understand. why would you take the stuff you're already admitting is repetitive and boring to review and then make it have a chance to be just Flat Out Wrong, instead of like, making some internal tooling or just doing a good ol' fashioned copy-paste-change

This is insanely bad for anyone doing game development. Who the hell knows what Gaming Copilot is doing with your screen captures, but it almost certainly isn't compliant with your NDA.

If you're using Windows 11, Microsoft is now surveilling you in a new way. This may already be turned on on your computer, and you would not be notified; it activates whenever they detect you are in a "game", which in my experience Microsoft often false-positives on

A person on Mastodon mentioned that it is very interesting Microsoft is enabling code that surveils and reports home what you're doing inside video games during a period a cultural soft ban on adult video games is being introduced. This is doubly interesting because Microsoft owns LinkedIn.

Why do we have to listen to the opinions of who people who do not ride transit but think they’d feel unsafe on it? They are literally making up situations in their heads where they might feel uncomfortable and we’re supposed to take that seriously?

Jarrett Walker @humantransit.bsky.social · 3d

Do we want public transit to *be* safe or *feel* safe? This paragraph from an @opb.org article on transit security in Portland captures why this issue is so hard. Crime is way down since '20 but some people don't feel safe. Why? 🧵 1/

it's been an open secret that some (def not all) anti-trans activists seem driven by trans feelings that they themselves possess but are trying to suppress. but this right here it's completely batshit!

Cis women in anti-trans religious communities are literally fucking medically transitioning, and the NYT buries this fact 1000s of words into the article.
