I’m kind of speechless with this one. I can’t imagine the kind of person who continues to make the argument that it doesn’t count as real starvation if the kids were already sick.

I got 2 of the 32" Samsung Odyssey G70D a few months back because Samsung was doing one of their crazy sales that are probably just the proper retail pricing, and they're pretty good but they also have so many weird issues.

The "going into standby" screen is an obnoxious bright blue background that takes 60 seconds to go away. I don't see a way to just go to standby immediately. It also does a CRT-style animation when it receives a signal, which also can't be turned off.

For one, there's a really noticeable "grid" pattern when it's displaying anything, and I have no idea why. I've messed with all the image settings but I can only make it worse and not better. There's also no DDC support, even though Odyssey monitors are supposed to have it at least with HDMI.

What happened with Polygon today is so fucked. Vox Media has made some atrocious decisions in my six years here but this is really something else. And to do this in the middle of us bargaining a new union contract, where they scold us for asking for better protections, is just unconscionable.

the first Mac OS X public beta in the year 2000 tried moving the Apple menu in the menu bar to the center. this is how that would look today if they kept that

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

Replying to @lordravenscraft.bsky.social

a constant pattern, across every industry i've seen or been in, is that most people working in it want to make enough money to get by, and usually get pretty good at it but then some Money Person comes in to Optimizie it and absolutely destroys the product that made money in the first place
