My pal Danielle Koenig shared that her father Walter Koenig passed away last night at age 90. A performer whose kindness and warmth shone through the screen. He will be well remembered.

Looking for game devs who have been directly inspired by anything BioWare for my next video. I suspect the public likely doesn’t quite realize the extent of their influence on the industry, so I’d really like to highlight that. If you are one such game devs, pls reply to this post!

Please don’t wait for a video essay to tell you to play Penguin Colony.

AI is automating hacking the same way it did fraud.

I have been meaning to write about this for a month or so now but it breaks my heart. AI has infected every hobby. Everything is noise. It's hurting existing communities and trudging through the slop is exhausting.

This shit just writes itself at this point. Just the name "Epic AI MegaJam" is a joke that best describes what is going on with these companies.

it's 2030. there is one american game job. the game is a result of the fortnite-roblox merger. they added gatchas and ads exclusively for prediction market platforms. while you work on it, jared kushner and a random c-suite with at least 3 sexual assault cases take turns yelling at you.

Neocities and hosted sites are not affected by PHP2Shell, we don't use PHP. However, if you have any non-Neocities sites running PHP, you need to patch them immediately. Read more here: www.wiz.io/blog/php2she... Cursory reading suggests this could be the worst exploit in web history.

If you run any kind of PHP application on your server... it's time to patch. Except... the patch is not here yet. Some info here: jackalsyn.com/posts/php-up... - but disabling upload progress *may* help, it's just not the full fix: session.upload_progress.enabled = Off

nightshade →home, for now@nightshade.technology

Talking to my friend today that his shop is apparently having talks on whether they should bring back work from home, not for employee benefit, but because the price of on boarding new hires with new hardware as well as the regular refresh costs means they are looking at downsizing office space.

Every once in a while I check the steam curator pages for games I like and I am just flabbergasted by blatant harassment campaign pages/groups just being out in the open.

This means that the increased price of RAM and consumer electronics was a result of an artificial "supply chain crisis" created by Jensen Huang pushing NVIDIA's customers to take early delivery of GPUs. Jensen Huang is responsible for making life worse for everyone.

Ed Zitron@edzitron.com

NVIDIA seems to be channel stuffing, forcing Amazon and other customers to take early delivery. The argument that these things are "scarce" when you don't even have anywhere to plug them into is nonsense...unless NVIDIA is saying you NEED to take them now, or else. GPUs are stacked in warehouses.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts, who is out for the season after several blood clots were revealed in his lungs. Before the London game, Hurts was in the hospital until 4 am and did not sleep because sleep was a risk. He played the game without having slept. Crazy.
