FYI, if you ever crave a pressed sandwich and you don't have a sandwich press, just microwave the sandwich and press it between two plates. It's definitely not as good, but it's usually good enough.

I really like the editor, but its shader system is baffling and poorly documented. After three days of frustration just trying to get some UVs to offset, I'm out. I've been writing shaders for 15 years, and I can't even figure out basic shit here.

Biden is fucking up. The United States should absolutely not "have the back" of any group that shells hospitals and schools.

The only backs we ought to have are the civilians (on both sides) who desperately need aid right now.

"The United States has Israel's back," says President Biden. "Make no mistake."

Agreed. All you should need to make a great website is a simple IDE and an image editor.

Republicans calling a special legislative session to prevent *private businesses* from implementing Covid restrictions tells us an awful lot about where the party is right now.

Apparently government is supposed to be so big and intrusive that it can force a deadly, anti-freedom, anti-scientific ideology on everyone.

I check my Twitter/X/whateveritscalled account from time to time. My mentions and timeline there now consist almost entirely of just bot-generated crap. Zero value, except as a reminder of what was lost.

It's like the Chernobyl exclusion zone, slowly being reclaimed by nature, except that here, "nature" means the Internet's bottom-feeding scammers.

Wow, John Riccitiello is OUT at Unity. Retiring as CEO, President, and member of the board effective immediately.

I don't know if it's the network effect of having more people or what, but it seems like virality of posts is much more of a thing than it used to be a year ago. I now frequently see posts that are boosted by totally different follow-groups.

Neither can hammers.

@jann And that's exactly why I stopped being a subscriber. Do they occasionally have an interesting well-researched story? Sure. But 99% of their output is crap like recipes and celebrity gossip.

Maybe journalism would be profitable if they just picked a lane and stayed in it instead of trying to cater to everyone.

CEOs are hugely expensive. Why not automate them?
If a single role is as expensive as thousands of workers, it is surely the prime candidate for robot-induced redundancy.

Y'know, at first I felt contempt for those who continued to feed Musk's content machine, but nowadays, I just feel pity. How sad would it be to have so little self control that you feel unable to leave his sad little kingdom?

Wouldn't it be brilliant if all the people who want war could get it without hurting innocents? Then they would just naturally select themselves out of the population.

This... actually sounds brilliant. Require big companies, by law, to be transparent about their impacts on the environment.

Then consumers can use that to make informed decisions about where we want to shop.
