Hello! It’s only us!

Ever since YouTube switched to prioritizing shorts, our viewer count and revenue is dropping at a scary pace. Our ad revenue for April is 1/2 of what it was in April last year, and that means we’re soon going to be struggling if it continues.

We want to make sure our team has a living wage, but that’s hard when big companies are playing roulette with our content.

Can you help?

F1 wants to ban tire heaters—here’s why that’s a good idea

Spectacular sportscars at Spa put F1's Azerbaijan snoozefest to shame.

My number one #Mastodon tip for people is to boost more!

Discovery sucks on Mastodon, which is partially by design, but it also means it’s hard to find new and interesting people here. If you see something cool, reach for that boost button as well!

If you're in #Tallahassee Saturday night, swing by the Blue Tavern and catch a couple sets of Firefly Rebellion! #livemusic

Little trick I’ve discovered to deal with procrastination: before getting to the big complex thing I’m dreading, I’ll treat myself to fixing one tiny problem or adding one tiny feature

It’s amazing how often once you get in the mood the code just starts to flow

Fearmongering over public charging stations needs to stop. Here’s why

Juice jacking attacks on mobile phones are nonexistent. So why are we so afraid?

One day I'll write a book on the post-2000 indie games resurgence, but in the meantime there's now a cool free ebook by Ben Latimore (creator of the excellent Flashpoint preservation project) about the heyday of Flash games. https://archive.org/details/flashpoint-a-tribute-to-web-games/

Hello #indiedev and #gamedev friends, this one is literally for you!

Please share to help spread awareness amongst the developer community. We love you 💜

Finally decided to check out the Mastodon world. Seems to have potential, but finding folks to follow in #Portland and #Oregon #localnews is proving challenging. So a favor for the Mastodon world: if you know of journalists or interesting/influential/important people in #PDX or the surrounding area who are on here, drop a comment with their follow link.

Absolutely despicable to refer to the victims of a gun massacre, including an 8-year-old, as “illegal immigrants”

Ban them, they’re a blight with arguably no benefit

Luftgekühlt Nine @ Mare Island, CA this weekend was a Porsche paradise!

ALSO if anyone has job leads... I need full remote and a certain bare minimum (W-2), and I lose basic things in tech interviews but can confidently chatter about those same things at length in conversation, and I'm available immediately; while my recent experience is pentesting (mostly web app), I'm open to nearly anything except sales and not wedded to infosec. I'm rusty, but I will happily build servers and I'm GOOD at fishing through logs to find things and fix them. I can learn tools, and regard ATT&CK as a useful checklist and STRIDE as more functional for effective threat modeling. DM for resume!
