I love the PICO-8 and I will go to my deathbed extolling what a fantastic platform it is!
This Donkey Kong port was fantastic!

dear east coast people: we of the west coast feel your smoke pain

- go to Lowe’s
- buy a 20” box fan
- buy 4x20”x30” Filterete 1900 filters (the blue ones (20” is the important measurement))
- buy wide painters tape (blue matches nicely)
- make a box out of the filters (arrows pointing in)
- tape the box fan to the top of the filter box, air blowing upward
- tape the corners of the fan grill so you don’t get backflow — stick a piece of paper over the corners and it’ll be obvious

Apple added #DX12 support to macOS and Apple Silicon via its Game Porting Toolkit. It’s basically a 20k patch to Wine that will make it easy to play AAA Windows games on macOS without using a VM. https://github.com/apple/homebrew-apple

eh, your regular reminder that the macintosh 128k cost $7k in 2022 dollars, originally selling for $2,495 in 1984

omg this has just blown my mind in the most incredible way: #ASL (and, I assume, other sign languages) are evolving before our very eyes into one-handed languages, because of the rise of smartphones and video calling. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZGJxangXQ/

To co-sign, boost.

There's yet another "AI will kill us all! It poses a risk of extinction!" letter going around, and I just… Y'all i am just so fucking tired.

CAPITALISM poses risk of extinction (climate change, right the fuck now).

WHITE SUPREMACY poses risk of extinction (genocide, eugenics).

HEGEMONY poses risk of extinction (nuclear FUCKING WAR).

And whatever "risk of extinction" "AI" poses, it poses because it is BUILT FROM THOSE EXTREMELY HUMAN VALUES.

Even if you stopped every "AI" project running, RIGHT THIS SECOND, those values would still kill us. And no matter how long you "pause" your "AI" projects, if you don't address those values? Then when you start your "AI" back up? You'll KEEP BUILDING THOSE SAME VALUES IN.

This is not hard. At this point, as much as it pains me to say it, it's not even novel. And yet you're still not fucking getting it.

I'm so goddam tired.
