Nothing is more satisfying than going to the extra effort of unsubscribing from companies' email lists that intentionally make their marketing messages JUUUUUST big enough to be clipped by Gmail so the unsub link gets buried after the fold.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

Holy shit. So Elon decides it would be nice to know what region of the world people are posting from. So they add that little feature.
2 hours later they figure out that many Trump supporters with millions of followers are posting from other countries. Surprise!
That "feature" is now gone.

I've always been convinced that video podcasts exist to force creators to be reliant on a closed distribution platform. Podcasts are built on tech (RSS) that nobody can own. Every major tech company has wanted to migrate podcasts to something proprietary, but it never sticks. Video is their answer.

If you ban VPNs, another three letter acronym technology will be born to replace it and defeat your new safeguards. The free internet will always move faster than legislation.
The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act.
The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.

Halo Finite
Halo Infinite will receive no further major content updates past Nov 2025, with work shifting to "multiple Halo titles in development."
Originally lauded as a title that would last 10 years, the studio formerly known as 343 Industries has seen significant upheaval since Infinite's release in 2021.
