“But nobody thinks [physical media] is necessary for a networked device like a smartphone, for example, because people feel that they will keep their content” Perfect analogy. I have a load of iOS purchases I can no longer access after delisting.

See now we're fucking talking One of the only weapons we wield in this fight is our money and attendance, and if everyone involved with an event says "I'm not going unless you stop using AI" there's only two outcomes: *No AI or No Convention* Conventions are made by and for the community

So, the things that stand out to me about this. There's an anti-union employee who has yelled at people till they cry both times there's been a unionization attempt, and yet hasn't been fired. If management won't fire an employee who yells at you till you cry then you need a union cuz what the fuck.
Back in May, Double Fine employees petitioned for a union. Two weeks later, that petition was withdrawn. What happened? https://kotaku.com/inside-the-failed-fight-to-unionize-one-of-gamings-most-idealized-studios-2000742755
"One month later, all eight of those organizers would be laid off." Well, fuck off, @doublefine.com and @timoflegend.bsky.social
This is such a great investigation into a union campaign at a company that is well liked both externally and internally. Many people don't understand how complicated and unclear labor law is, and then often take that out on the workers when they don't get clear answers. kotaku.com/inside-the-f...

Le Québec a décidé d'avancer par en arrière encore une fois. Et les 18-34 sont bandés sur Duhaime. Ils devraient prendre leur douche avec lui rendu là. Ma réaction sur les élections d'hier. penombre.substack.com/p/avancez-pa...

Almost every game of mine from FFG is much more complicated than my original design spec I was lead designer on a Michael Jackson MMORPG (you heard that right), which never shipped, thank god. (The game concept was actually pretty rad, though) I still have far more unpublished games than published

Étant donné que le PQ s'oppose systématiquement au fédéral, je prends des notes.

One day, Jordan Koschei of HVconnect announced he was releasing 450+ 4k drone shots completely lacking watermarks and public domain, just to encourage use and beauty of what is my home county. Now, the Internet Archive has mirrored it. Lovely shots! Full metadata! archive.org/details/hvco...

Ce que je veux dire, c'est qu'on s'apprête à élire un gouvernement - qu'il soit bleu pâle ou foncé - qui tient le même discours que celui qu'on a élu il y a 8 ans. Avec les résultats qu'on connaît. Faire toujours la même chose et s’attendre à un résultat différent, ça porte quel nom déjà?

So this is terrifying and maybe a terrible idea, but what’s the worst that happens? I lay myself off?
