see "hack" and "todo" implies something can be fixed, so I figured I'd add the secret third thing of "cursed"

Ok. Seeing refs to "shareholders" and "api downtime" being the cause for the VRChat Layoffs. First, READ THE FUCKING EMAIL: ask.vrchat.com/t/an-email-fr… Then, if you're still confused, here's a small 🧵on startups, funding, and this particular situation.
Condolences to everyone who got cut, and to everyone who's going to have to live with the massive morale hit and trust loss this causes internally. I've got a lot of feelings on this, but those are better expressed outside social media.

food places as middleware... order sushi then route it through the local burger joint to burgerize it... tack on that new snack bar too and they'll deep-fry the whole thing for you

I'm not doing an AI video because I promised myself no more moving targets, but this would be the thrust of a big chunk of it: there's a real good chance generative AI is just too damn expensive for a product that's rapidly displaying its fragility.

in an age where companies can literally just delete things from the internet to write it off their taxes and physical releases are becoming less and less common, piracy is a moral imperative

Isn't it kinda wild how animals are mostly scared of things we do for their sake, because they cannot understand it...? Anyway here's a comic about that. #horror #comic

If you're gonna get on Mastodon, I would like to apologise in advance for being the guy responsible for posts being called "Toots". I thought it was funny. And it is, and it's even funnier that some people hate it. I take it back, I'm not sorry. Ha ha. Toots.

I'm sure everyone knows this hack already, but I'm going to talk about it anyway, on the off-chance that it saves someone from going completely off-the-rails during their dev. It's a hint about scope, when you're feeling lost: steal it. 100% rip it off from another game.

Bob: So, how do I find people to follow on Mastodon? Ed: It's decentralised. Use the right instance! Bob: Ok, it's not a monolith. How do I find the right instance? Ed: You ask people on Twitter! Bob: Did you just tell me to go fuck myself? Ed: I believe I did, Bob.

Watching Masto once again fill with the "WELCOME TO MASTODON. Now stop doing that." messages with different rules coming from tons of instances really does bring up that rival warlords feeling.
