Grim Dawn has a new expansion coming next year too.

Godus had real promise, I played the early release. Absolutely never delivered on what it promised, implicitly or explicitly, though.

This piece was written by a highly-regarded scifi author a year and a half ago. I say that not to complain about the age but rather to marvel at the authors ability to describe so well something that is only becoming clear to many a year and half later.

Activity Pub is much more flexible, the tradeoff being that it’s more complex. ActivityPub is basically a flexible CRUD API specifically designed for social networking, with support for federation.

You could fulfill the purpose of RSS with ActivityPub. But, it doesn’t supercede RSS/atom, because the simplicity is valuable for the cases those protocols handle.

Not precisely open world but has the same feeling of exploration, discovery and unlocking, Supraland. Harder puzzles, unlock things that make combat easier. Combat is pretty similar to botw.

Emotion-tracking AI on the job: Workers fear being watched – and misunderstood (theconversation.com)

Emotion artificial intelligence uses biological signals such as vocal tone, facial expressions and data from wearable devices as well as text and how people use their computers, to detect and predict how someone is feeling. It can be used in the workplace, for hiring, etc. Loss of privacy is just the beginning. Workers are...

This is another sign of what’s already going on. It’s getting into backlash territory.

Responsive design was a neat idea, but has failed in the context of the modern web and tech industry.

When done properly it is indeed a great practice.

But so many don’t. The way the modern tech industry functions makes it hard to consistently get right, sadly. I’ve left two companies in the past two years where computational resources for automated testing and validation were simply not available. One didn’t have any manual QA beyond the implementing developer. I’m in a better situation now, but those companies still exist. They’re not exactly tiny startups either.

For all its strengths, without any amount of validation, RWD is very likely to lead to such issues. Unfortunately many industry execs are unsympathetic, seeing RWD as little more than a way to get two things for the price of one.

Rejection of two-State solution by Israeli leadership 'unacceptable', says UN chief (news.un.org)

“This refusal [of a two-state solution], and the denial of the right to statehood to the Palestinian people, would indefinitely prolong a conflict that has become a major threat to global peace and security,” UN Secretary-General António Guterres says....

This is a misunderstanding of the UN’s primary purpose. The UN is a diplomatic organization meant to enable a baseline minimum amount of diplomatic interaction. It’s primary raison d’etre is preventing a world war / nuclear war. If military might was not respected, then nations would leave the negotiating table and large wars would be harder to avoid. The veto was instrumental in establishing the UN in the first place.

You're Not Imagining It: Google Search Results Are Getting Worse, Study Finds (gizmodo.com)

For the past few years, a growing number of users, analysts, and experts raised alarms about a truth that feels obvious to a lot of people who surf around in web browsers: the quality of Google results is in serious decline. Google disagrees.

ranandtoldthat ,

In the mid aughts every time Google updated their ranking, and results shuffled it was called the “Google dance”. We sorely need a major Google dance.

Amazingly Google is still the best unpaid search engine, as bad as it has become. Terrible websites have completely taken over the web. To find actual information you need access ProQuest or EBESCOhost or something like that, though their indexes are much smaller.

Riven is still perfect, more perfect now that you don’t need to switch CDs. Doesn’t need a remake.

How to let my kids find quality games on Android? Right now they only find the pay to win / ad riddled games.

My 9yo daughter has a tablet with family link, so I can monitor what apps she wants to install. As the garbage games are mostly at the top free, she keeps asking for games that I reject, in most cases because it’s riddled with ads....

That’s not how it works, what you are talking about is often called freeze peach.

Until Twitter can fine you or lock you up for saying the wrong thing or exercise prior restraint over all your expression, it’s not a free speech issue.

This event is the first time I’ve heard of this company. I’ve built several PCs for friends over 20 years, never used YouTube for it, once. This feels like standard influencer drama, and much of the influencer space is a toxic cesspool. It’s not about a hobby, it’s about greedy assholes.

I worked for a self-proclaimed data-driven company. They didn’t understand how to use data and just used it to justify arbitrary decisions. They hated their employees so much, it was wild. They taught their people managers to use data to gaslight employees by telling them they were happy (most of us weren’t). If you don’t feel your employer appreciates you, do what you can to leave.

Not only that, but they kept adding features and telling me about it. I was paying for their existing features, and yet half the time I would go to add a note and by the time I clicked through their “we did something you probably don’t care about” popups, I’d forget what I wanted to note.
