I spent about 100 hours playing Slay the Spire on Steam two years ago and unlocked everything. Apple Arcade releases Slay the spire+.
Me: “nah this time I won’t play that much”
50 hours later…
Me: “just one more run with the Defect before going to bed”
Damn that game is addictive.

@Shine_McShine llevo unas semanas probando Kagi y aunque sea de pago sus resultados son espectaculares. Te da 100 búsquedas gratis para probar, luego hay que pagar por ello. Eso si, te aseguras que tienes cero anuncios y resultados solo relevantes. Ese es su modelo de negocio.
@_Davidsmith @connected please bring us the nano widgies! Let my fingers deal with the trouble of hitting the right button

This is REALLY important.
“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment and counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
Let that sink in. It costs less than accepting homelessness.

@dragonas Definitivamente. Empiezan con algo pequeño y aparentemente trivial y luego van expandiendo. Estrategia fascista 101
@trinsec so you played the deck docked to the dock

The only Prime Day deal I’ll recommend is to leave Audible and join Libro.fm, which allows you to escape the giant’s (Amazon) grasp, support your local library and, if you subscribe with this offer, you get a free credit for any audiobook, with no strings attached so you can unsubscribe anytime. https://libro.fm/membership?mp=CHOOSEINDIE
@beccaowen So far loving your app! I see a lot of potential and it’s quite stable and useful in its V1.0. I’d love to see some things like sorting/reordering categories, instead of automatic sorting by name (so I can have all similar categories close to each other in its group), but I guess interactive widgets are higher in your todo list. Looking forward to what’s coming in the near future!

I can't get over how fractally bad a take this is. Like, aside from the obvious.
"Most fun product of the year" - it's a Twitter clone. That launched yesterday.
"Because their own elected officials…" - so basically if we accept the premise that this law is bad, it's cool to collectively blame all EU citizens for laws their leaders pass and mock them for any harm it causes them? This is coming from a *fucking American*?!
"Have fun in the library" - WHO DOESN'T WANT TO HANG OUT IN A LIBRARY?
@trinsec well, we can budget for that in the proposal. And the statistical difference between chicken, beef, pork, carnitas or even vegetarian burritos. Ugh, now I’m craving burritos.

@trinsec i mean, southern US has the hottest weather and they’re more popular there. There might be a scientific correlation between hot weather and how we crave burritos when we feel hot. Maybe we should write a grant proposal…

"Their immense talent will no doubt be of great use elsewhere."
Yep.
Reading about Thread I’ve seen takes complaining about it not being available in the EU due to its “draconic laws”. Surprisingly, this comes from people that have normally been privacy advocates. I’m happy EU reps have taken privacy seriously, and I hope they don’t budge under Meta’s pressure.

The Reddit AMA as we know it is dead. "The decade-old team of moderators running Reddit AMAs (short for “Ask Me Anything”) are hanging up their boots and will no longer organize the popular Q&As. [They] think Reddit’s poor site management is beyond repair." https://qz.com/reddit-amas-r-iama-protest-api-changes-steve-huffman-1850600843
