ah yes: my fav award show ended up using indie game devs during the pandemic to juice numbers/recognition in a desperate attempt to stay relevant and now has axed the program bc don't want to be accountable for the people they "uplifted".

i want to say i'm disappointed but that would imply surprise
EXCLUSIVE on @gamedeveloper.bsky.social: not only has The Game Awards not nominated a Future Class for 2025, it's told alumni it "does not have any active programming plans" for the award.

The Future Class page was taken down sometime this year—eliminating a definitive archive of honorees.
The Game Awards' Future Class program remains on ice
Future Class organizer Emily Weir has informed past honorees that The Game Awards has no active plans for the program.

Great to see more people encouraging others to take control of their message. In the "old days", this was the only option. With the rise of companies who "do it for you", you have to take the risk of the company not aligning with your values.

Manage it yourself! (as much as you are comfortable)
If you want to start a newsletter and don't want to use Substack because they currently platform/sponsor Nazis: consider using the free and open-sourced alternative that has been around for over a decade.

I'll personally walk you through it.

Stop using closed-sourced solutions and move towards free and open-sources options that scale better, especially for indie creators.

Im inspired by @sharpiepls.com and feel like her journey to break negative habits and own your output is valid.

I too am spinning up something *peep the domain change* and hope to disengage from yapping too much here. @lookitup.baby had to remind me its too easy to get caught up on social media.

@slouchingyogi.bsky.social hihi !! reaching out bc i saw you were trying to migrate over to blacksky

i have a few hours free right now if you'd like assistance !!
the process takes around 20m

i just wanted to thank everyone who has been boosting and reposting my blog posts

i talked about it last month in my first blog post, but i'm transitioning into different creative formats to help break negative habits and i'm glad others are resonating / learning from my journey

this post has convinced me that all tech people think exactly the same bc the very first thing i thought when i started my new job is how easy it would be to compromise the access points using only a sniffer and a well-placed raspberry pi
Mozilla Fest security has been taking their jobs Very Seriously so naturally, I must cause trouble. It is known.

i'm grateful to people holding me accountable and i want to reiterate that self-hosting wordpress online COSTS MONEY UNLESS YOU'RE DOING IT VIA YOUR OWN NAS OR HOME SERVER (as i say several times in my post)

if money is an issue, i'm happy to assist monetary for projects that have a public demand

if your fave US influencer isn't reminding you to vote, you should probably find a new fave

if you disagree, my comment section (and block list) is wide open for you 🥰

cool and totally unrelated fact of the day:

congress STILL hasn't passed the TIME OFF TO VOTE ACT which would legally give every american citizen a minimum of two hours paid time off to vote in federal elections

stingrays active in the DMV area.

make sure your turn off mobile data while outside unless absolutely necessary and leave your phones at home during protests (or at minimum, turn mobile data off & airplane mode on)
DHS / ICE appears to have rolled out their new cell phone tracking platform in DC. I'm getting these every 5-10 minutes on my phone.

Kristi Noem, Tom Homan, and Pam Bondi need to be jailed for life.

me: i don't recommend linux to anyone who doesn't understand CLI or what root access is

them: WOW, LINUX ISN'T THAT HARD. I MADE MY CONTROL WORK BY ADDING ONE TEXT LINE IN THE .INI OF THE DRIVER AND THAT WAS SO EASY!!

me: yeah, sounds easy. most users know how and what to edit in .ini files too! 🤭

my next article will be for those who want to build their own newsletter/site but don't want to use substack.

i only use FOSS options for my content creation, so i think people looking for a free & cheap alternative to substack or medium will be very pleased.

really excited to see @baileytownsend.dev building out PDSMoover.com with additional features like backups and rotational keys

to translated for those less tech savvy: THIS ALLOWS YOU TO TRANSFER/MIGRATE YOUR ACCOUNT EVEN IF THE SERVER YOU'RE HOSTED ON BANS OR DELETES YOUR ACCOUNT
It's here! PDS MOOver now supports automated backups and restores that anyone can use! This also includes adversarial account migrations!

A STREAMING GAME CHANGER

@stream.place 0.8 update allows streamers to add metadata DIRECTLY to their stream

a REALLY COOL answer to help streamers maintain control of their own content !! #OnlyOnATProto

I've thought about this more and more. Pulling back from social media. I've been slowly doing it anyways. I'm not as thinly stretched across platforms as I was even a year ago. But rather going in the direction of websites and the like, the allure of it all being offline has me.

this thing is like a FULL NEWSPAPER with like 8 additional pages and multiple sections

i'm genuinely time traveling reading lost & found sections
