I’m StarLight, gamer, armchair fighter pilot, youtuber and VR enthusiast. I have seen games evolve from the 8-bit era to Virtual Reality, enjoying VR since 2016. I love to talk about how transformative VR is to gaming. https://linktr.ee/starlightpl

Walter was a gentleman who spoke eloquently. He commanded respect. The Roddenberry Archive presents “In Conversation: Walter Koenig,” an in-depth profile of the actor who portrayed navigator Pavel Chekov in the original Star Trek series and movies youtu.be/Z3vzNfxpgZ8?...

Here’s the relevant language in the DOJ lawsuit. It asks for the election not to be certified if Peltola’s margin of victory is smaller than the number of votes cast for the third-party Sullivan. (I expect this to be laughed out of court.) storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
BRENNAN: The DOJ lawsuit demands the Alaska result not be certified if voters are confused. The confusion is defined as Sen. Sullivan not winning. BLANCHE: That's not what it says BRENNAN: I'm quoting from it. You are telling them not to certify it. What right does the federal govt have?

If today Musk would start a platform for (dis)information sharing & political debate, no one in their right mind would join. And yet, that is what our politicians, parties, governments companies and media do every day 🤡🤦🏻♂️ cc @leavex.eu @takedowntwitterx.bsky.social @everyonehateselon.bsky.social
The only thing that keeps Musk’s platform alive is us — the politicians and institutions it wants to destroy.

If he can pull the plug on Ukraine, he can pull the plug on America. He's too big to trust.
A 'SpaceX' investor said he’s not only “disgusted…from a humanity perspective” (by restrictions on Starlink in Ukraine), but also because: “.….they've given everybody a reason not to use Starlink, that Starlink isn't reliable for national security for anybody but Trump.”

This is private equity, this is what it does. Buy up businesses, run them into the ground, and rip them apart for short-term profit. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

This is accountability journalism: follow the planes, follow the money, and find the people the government has sent away. Gillian Brockell is making a machinery of removal visible and sharing the methods so other reporters can investigate it.
I have some insane news getting copy-edited right now, but before that publishes I want to make sure y'all see this interview I did with @gijn.org, where I give a lot of tips on flight-tracking, developing a specialized beat, etc. gijn.org/stories/gill...

The opposite of what Trump is currently doing "Canada's outgoing ambassador to Russia has returned w/ advice for crafting a response to Moscow's "cognitive warfare" campaign vs the NATO alliance & why keeping sanctions on oil & gas can frustrate Vladimir Putin's struggle to finance his war machine."

with sloppy (but convincing enough) AI vibeclones on the rise, developers now face a future in which a steady stream of pre-release videos, demos, and playtests—the only reliable way to promote and build community—could be their game’s undoing
Game developers fear that thieving AI vibecoders will make free game demos a thing of the past aftermath.site/steam-next-fes...

I don’t just want us to be opposing data centers, but also starting a larger debate about how we build technology and who that technology serves. The tech industry is forcing their vision of the future on the rest of us, but it doesn’t have to be that way.
“How much computation do we really need here? How many resources are we willing to dedicate to this vision of the future? And is this technology really delivering in such a way that expending all those resources is justified?” I spoke to CNET’s @katelynched.bsky.social about my new book HYPERSCALE!

Any ressemblance with the USA and the UK insisting Ukraine disarm in exchange of "security guarantees" that became non-existent the instant Russia invaded Crimea would not be a coincidence. When your imperialist, hostile neighbor is twice or thrice your size, don't place your fate into US hands.

That would be like thinking that Putin is an accident, while Russia has always tried to invade its neighbors, colonize them and erase their cultures for the last 5 centuries, from Ivan the fourth to Catherine, and from Nicholas I to Stalin, it's always about invading, crushing and erasing people.

German historian Fritz Fischer helped a lot dismantling the various myths about Germany and WW1, but the Versailles stuff is so well anchored in the minds, and the US betrayal in 1920 and German duplicity in the 1920 so well hidden that people still think Hitler was an accident, an aberration.
