We just pushed new version of Kitten Space Agency (its free) running on .net 10. I believe first game in the world to do so. Only possible because of BRUTAL. You're only as indie as the tools you use. Unreal + Unity and their licensing & tech are a blight on the industry ksa.ahwoo.com

Days after new data found Aboriginal people 15x more likely to be searched by VicPol than white people, Vic police were granted powers to search people without a warrant. This is why we must be critical of hysterical reporting about "machete epidemics" — who gains from these exaggerated crime waves?

I just learned the Bugs Bunny No meme doesn't even come from him saying no. It's a frame rotated 90 degrees from him taking a drink from a bottle. I needed to share this.

The HHS report on gender affirming care released it's updated report showing they stacked its authors with anti-trans hate-group affiliated members, several of whom aren't even doctors with any sort of clinical experience. They selected their own ideologically friendly peer reviewers.
It's a joke.

Okay…. I can’t put the whole blame on the developers of the site: there’s a global issue affecting cloudflare. But still- come on 10MB for a page!?
WHO THE FUCK built the "The Game Awards" website - 10MB and 12 seconds to load a page is not acceptable.
What the actual fuck! I know the awards ceremony is bloated - doesn't mean that the site needs to be!
It's that bad - that a Lighthouse audit won't load

authors you have the chance to do the funniest thing right now
AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.
Authors celebrate “historic” settlement coming soon in Anthropic class action
Advocates fear such settlements will “financially ruin” the AI industry.
