I asked a software engineer once what it would cost to build this today. I will never forget his answer:

“We can’t, we don’t know how to do it.”

Panos leaving Microsoft after creating and running the Surface hardware line over the past ten years to go work on Alexa & Echo devices is a massive W for Amazon and L for Microsoft.

Can’t see how this is anything but a bad sign for that line of products at Microsoft.

Unity has earned their name. They've united almost every developer against them.

“But that’s my emotional support oversized shampoo in my carry-on.”

Unity apologises for the new runtime fee, say they will make changes https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2023/09/unity-apologises-for-the-new-runtime-fee-say-they-will-make-changes/

@gpowerf Sweet! My current daily driver is an AV modded NSTC Sears Telegames, just for something different, but my first was a Vader.

Usually only uncover this to give it a stroke 😄, but as I haven't fired it up in a while I thought I'd have a quick outdoor play before the crap weather sets in. Keyboard cleaning brush is perfect for the grooves!

U.S. medical costs never cease to be shocking. https://www.comicsands.com/new-mom-medical-bills-tiktok-2665072555.html?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=infeed&utm_campaign=linkprogram

The UK is going to ban 'XL bully' dog breeds. But the problem with those dogs isn't with the breed itself; it's with people who get them purely as a status symbol. The kind of person who gets a status dog isn't the kind of person who will train their dog properly. If they can't get an XL bully, they'll get a different "well 'ard" dog, such as a rottweiler, German shepherd or doberman - and then we'll see an increase in attacks from those breeds.

I can’t get over the rapid shift in power dynamics where various blue collar workers are going on strike snd earning 20% to 40% wage increases while tech workers are being laid off by email and threatened with losing their jobs if they don’t take their Zoom calls from the office.

Musk is such a moron.

Did the guy on the left use this weirdly short rapier in a duel against the dead (?) guy in white and red? No visibile wound, though. #StThomas was a short-lived Prussian colony, located in the Carribean, in the late 17th and early 18th century. Don't worry if you haven't heard of it before. After all, now that you know about this game, it is your opportunity to learn, isn't it?
