Was very mature of them to be able to communicate their feelings - hope you’ve now got yourself a good friend 💜

I was scared to open Outlook on my work computer this morning…. Only 2500 unread emails after a week off 🥲

Here is a player facing spreadsheet of 150 indie games from PAX. Aus, NZ and SE Asia. Game name, steam (or other) link, demo y/n, genre, comments (which I'm editing). Please share. Let's work together to connect people to Aussie indies. I'm going to tag people next. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

And yes - this is also a call-out to support ANZ Indie Devs!

In the game dev world it's hard to get discovered in such sea of games.

So as streamers - we can do a lot of good for indie and smaller studios/devs by playing and sharing the cute little (and sometime not so little) games we play 😁

Had been keeping an eye out for the orange suit this weekend but still hadn’t spotted you. I guess I’ll see you at 2pm then!

Whelp- there goes any thought of using Arduino in any of my potential future projects 🙃

Don’t know where I found this background but it makes a pretty epic one with the depth effect on the clock 🥰
Screenshot of my lock screen showing a night time hill scape with stars in the sky. The bottom of the numbers for the clock are partially obscured by the mountains.

Ah, okay- so I wasn’t going crazy then. Seems like the government is about to create the perfect storm for the potential of more data breaches

Please correct me if I’m wrong- but wasn’t there a provision added to the privacy act after the Optus and Medibank data breaches, stating that companies aren’t allowed to hold onto sensitive personal documents longer than it takes them to validate them? 🤔

last week, I wrote about how the rushed/bizarre teen social media ban policy process could lead to bad outcomes for Australians.

One scenario? Platforms forced to check users ages leak private data. Anyway, there's now a leak of some Discord user's passports
