I've been using Vivaldi from day one (Opera before, obv.)
Hello there, may I interest you in switching to a European web browser that has: ❌ Zero AI slop. ❌ Zero tracking. ❌ Zero external investors. 🤩 Endless ways to customize your setup. 🤩 Tons of powerful features. Oh, and it's an employee-owned alternative to the Big Tech giants. Welcome over!

Can the staff at Science Magazine feel shame? They at least behave as if they don't, according to this headline. 😠
Can the new cutting-edge AI models feel pain? They at least behave as if they do, according to a recent study. The work, which has not been peer reviewed, has divided #AI researchers. https://scim.ag/4hHU6BA

the journalists on here defending a rapist are the same ones that gleefully tortured a survivor for two years. i was blacklisted? but a rapist deserves compassion because his work is important???? how is any of this ok?
i need to get off social media for a while because seeing the apologism, and the same awful crowd it is coming out of, is too hard right now. i’m sharing this to the top of my timeline again, before leaving... i told the truth. www.nathalielawhead.com/candybox/abu...

every day i desperately wish for either the complete removal of steam reviews or at the very least disconnection from the discovery algorithm. tying subjective personal review (with zero rules or regulation) to how many people see and buy your game is fucking insanity
The Steam review system has become entirely destructive and counter-productive for indie devs. I've seen so many great games lately tanked by one bad review from someone who just didn't "vibe" with the game and couldn't keep quiet. Only takes 1 bad one on launch day to ruin years of work!

normally with reviews id say “it doesn’t matter if a game is at 90% positive or 70% positive” if i was talking about a normal review aggregate but on steam, it very much matters visibility & how steam ranks a games positivity is extremely vital if you like a game, give it a good review today
Giving an indie game a "thumbs down" negative review is LITERALLY a punishment. In many cases due to how the Steam algorithm works, it is a capital one. If a game just wasn't for you, or you have some feedback, please just post on the forums! Save the "thumbs down" for AI slop and other offenses.

ICE collected DNA from nearly 1 million people in just the last year. Yet when it comes to wearing body cameras for accountability, the agency suddenly runs out of money. When agencies operate in the dark, surveillance abuse isn’t a glitch, it’s a guarantee. @laurenleharper.bsky.social explains:

Tell senators to reject Jay Clayton for director of national intelligence. Clayton just subpoenaed four @nytimes.com journalists over their reporting on the Air Force One plane Qatar gifted to President Trump. Someone who targets reporters shouldn’t be DNI.

Concurrency has always been one of the places where understanding is rewarded over syntax. Sam Cooper's Kotlin Coroutine Confidence helps you build that intuition. Even when AI handles more of the typing, books like this become more valuable, not less. pragprog.com/titles/sckot...
