My apologies to the Slashdotted admin.

"Please don't share our content because of server load" sounds an awful lot like an admin/config problem.

Also sounds a lot like a plea for a centralized link preview farm.

Oh no the server is Melton, @lisamelton

Anyone venturing into this solution space?

The veracity of this text is undeniable.

“I have never in my entire career seen anyone pressure a developer to make a character more queer or less white,” wrote Christina Pollock, a veteran game developer. “I have, however, seen many instances of developers being forced to change their characters to be straight and / or white.”

At long last a justification for a #Disney live action remake.

At it's heart, #Gargoyles never really was a kid show, though I never met one who didn't love some part of it.

This #Microsoft #Edge Browser setting is Evil.

Turn it off. Why is it on by default.

Further why does it always open with another browsers tabs open?

Its gross, unsecure and it is not alone.

"Toss it on the Queue" is all you can say when a game's review headline reads:

Ultros review: "A drop-dead gorgeous head trip of a Metroidvania game set in a cosmic uterus sarcophagus"

Sidenote: "Hey google, add cosmic uterus sarcophagus to the Punk Band Names list."

Um, this may be out of the norm but I'm starting to think someone may have to in fact mess with Texas.

Abbot and Paxton playing border agent keep away, while they watch live streams of their booby trapped moats.

But more importantly ... as much ink that has been splashed over Merrick Garland's Uvalde report, I only have just now seen the family press event afterwards and I'm bout ready to tug on Superman's cape, spit into the wind, etc, etc..

As soon as I finish crying...

The world changes around you always, occasionally you can have an effect, positive or negative, I attempt actions I perceive as best to bring a positive result.

This article is all the things.
Its pacing, tone, conclusion and vibe are just something else.
...

"Wages in the Chinese auto industry are lower. And some companies in the Chinese auto-supply chain almost certainly use forced labor, or modern-day slavery, according to human rights groups.

Why aren't cheap Chinese EVs for sale in the U.S.?

National security concerns and old-fashioned protectionism have kept these cars out of the U.S. so far."

In case you were wondering:

How to enable #Fediverse Integration on #Threads

Seriously a lot of that app is inscrutable and My UI developer ass weeps for its daily users.

At least they have a sliver of decentralization.

Quick note on the new #PrinceOfPersia #TheLostCrown after playing through the Demo.

The makers of this game know their audience, platform enthusiasts who grip walls & have a dark hatred for pottery.

Pitch perfect visuals with satisfying modern yet familiar gameplay.

Every great metroidvania can be judged by how early & how much the player desires & obsessively searches for high jump boots or unlock a double jump.

Under 1 minute.

Screenshot save to map mechanic is brilliant.

I don't know how I got here.

I avoid TMZ...

But an article made me laugh so hard I had to see what they were talking about.

And the video was exactly what I though it was going to be from the text.

All I could imagine was DeathWish the next generation Starring Ian Ziering and him being constantly pummelled by tweenagers.

He knows he can't win

It's morning time in beautiful southern California.

The forecast calls for a little rain with the average temp around 61F.

#today I will continue eating soft foods, taking muscle relaxers, and trying to be aware of when I'm clenching my jaw. Because I don't want to go back to the E.R..
