This is extremely cool. GOG is taking a stand against payment processors caving to fundamentalist religious groups and is offering a bunch of "banned" games for free.

Added some interactivity to my Blue Prince cosplay for San Diego Comic Con. Those who spot me will be invited to draft a room sticker and place it on my blueprint!

Be one of the first to help me assemble a convention-exclusive house layout, and I just might have a floorplan upgrade disk for you.

To the right, a familiar red paper crown. A close-up of a green post-it note on a blueprint that reads "Experiment #25: For every attendee who recognizes you, invite them to draft to a room. SUCCESSFUL TRIGGERS: [blank] " A close-up of a blueprint with a pile of room stickers scattered on top of it, with three room stickers separated for drafting. A stack of physical upgrade disks, which look like old 5.25" floppies with labels stuck on them that read "Floorplan Upgrade Disk". But nobody in their right mind would bother to put any actual data on these prop giveaways, right?

The news coverage of the LA fire is so disgusting and upsetting. Enjoy your clicks, @latimes.com, you lying pieces of shit.
Headlines on the Los Angeles Times, including “Los Angeles has never seen this level of destruction: 'Everything is burned down'”

I created a starter pack that includes a bunch of folks who are in the GraphQL community! If I missed anyone, please let me know and I'll add them! And feel free to share this widely!

This platform has astonishingly little reasoned discussion of GraphQL, and that should change!

If you found yourself unexpectedly having ~100TB of hard drive space in a datacenter, what project would you do? What fun would that unlock? I'm looking for inspiration.
A terminal showing the output of the `zpool list` command, with two large pools having >150TB of free space in total.
