Twitter is now X
  • Don’t forget this bit:

    “It's entirely possible that he was smart, I'm sure he was to an extent, but I believe that Space X and Tesla have better structures in places for managing/limiting Musk's direct influence, and I also believe that, like many of the super rich, he's succumbed to a form of right-wing brain rot over the years. His brain is now smooth and toxic.”

  • Twitter is now X
    • Offer to buy Twitter for $44 billion
    • Try to back out when Twitter says "ok lol"
    • Get forced to complete the purchase
    • Saddle Twitter with the debt you now have as a result of buying Twitter
    • Invite all the previously-banned bigots and hatemongers back on the site
    • Make your staff's lives hell, including bullshit 'performance' stuff like checking how many lines-of-code they write, so most of them are either fired or leave on their own
    • Raise API prices sky-high, get ridiculed
    • Lock everything behind user log-in, logged-out users can't see anything
    • Rate-limit how many things logged-in users can do
    • Break widgets
    • Was once the public square of the internet, now weather services are moving to Mastodon
    • "why are we still losing money >:("
    • Initiate a half-assed rebrand to "X" but the logo, 𝕏, is literally just a mathematical symbol. Who needs copyright on your billion dollar company's brand identity, eh?

    Whoa, be careful everyone, these are the slick moves of a master genius!

    It's entirely possible that he was smart, I'm sure he was to an extent, but I believe that Space X and Tesla have better structures in places for managing/limiting Musk's direct influence, and I also believe that, like many of the super rich, he's succumbed to a form of right-wing brain rot over the years. His brain is now smooth and toxic.

  • How do you do GitHub bug triage?
  • Do you have a template for new issues? If so, you could write a GitHub Actions workflow that looks for certain values or info and applies some labels automatically… but probably only basic stuff, to avoid false positives.

  • Stray really disappointed me. I want a real cat game.
  • Genuine question: how much of the marketing material did you see? I thought it was always clear that it was gonna be an exploration/puzzle game in a cyberpunk world with a baddie.

    I had the opposite reaction, and was surprised by how much I enjoyed the small things, like scratching a carpet!

    I do hope you find something more like what you’re wishing for, though 🙂

  • Sega calls video games that use blockchain technology 'boring'
  • And even then, you could still do that unique Pokemon idea without using a blockchain. Use unique identifiers in a good old database, or, heck, just tell the user with words, “there are many pidgeottos but this one is yours”.

    A blockchain idea has to not only be a good idea, but also not possible with simpler technology for it to be genuinely worthwhile.
