I’m so glad that youre now aware of this! Now, go out in the world and yell at any website without adequate alt text!

I grew up in a protest to save my neighborhood from being demolished for a highway.

What the news reported was the protests in front of city hall to finally convince them to move the highway.

What you didn’t see was the incredible legwork getting dozens of local businesses to support us. Getting bake sales in schools to fund billboards. Doing social disobedience by blocking traffic and having people arrested. Disrupting city hall over and over and over. This was my life for months.

And it finally worked.

Addy user here! Been using it for years now and just last week, I saw an uptick in one of my aliases. Turned it off with a single toggle and no more spam.

The ability to self-host is awesome if I ever get to that stage. But right now, I want to keep giving them money.

But I want AI to convert my mp3s to Oggs and vice versa 😭😭😭

Not some stupid “conversion library” or whatever that is

Not me! I got Kingdom Come for either under $5 or free last year.

So I expect to get the sequel at the same price in about six years.

Also the whole Gamersgate backlash that the lead was actively encouraging, and now the dev arguing against the anti-woke crowd… Yeah I’m not in a rush to give them money.

Thanks for the write up! I had no idea this is why Suicide Squad was such a letdown.

Wonder woman is, in my opinion, an odd choice for a video game. I think it could be really good, and her rope would translate well to video game mechanics, but it doesn’t feel like Wonder Womans time to shine right now

Id argue that I felt the same about Batman not being translatable to a game during the 2000s. Video games based on comics were absolutely awful. Superman 64 was a nightmare, and Batman games were beat-em-ups or platformers.

But really smart creatives made the Arkham series work. So I’m optimistic that in the hands of strong visionaries, it’s absolutely possible.

Now, do I think WB has the capacity to make a good Wonder Woman game? Haha nope. Not after what they’ve shown in the last few years.

I have lost my job to wider cuts a few times myself and on reflection, I think I prefer being “aligned” or “realigned” inasmuch as it makes me feel like a cool laser satellite. But I am not immune to the frictive charms of being “restructured”, which makes me feel like a Transformer

I absolutely love the comments on RPS. It’s hits like these which makes me keep coming back.

In a room full of dickheads, it’s often the loudest dickhead that gets their way. Often it’s the CEO.

Pretty much. These commenters seem to believe engineers are given all the resources needed to deliver everything in time in perfect condition.

I just realized I have no idea who pays for Let’s Encrypt. I just run the server commands, automate it, and move on.

Happy to hear my job said they didn’t have plans to remove anything. But it’s not on paper/expressed on the news yet. Here’s hoping.

There was that tweet from a few years ago about how so many old ladies on their death bed would confess to killing their husbands.

I’m starting to piece it all together.

If there’s no multiverse then what was Dr Strange fighting? Check mate atheists.

I completely forgot about the term SJW until this little dig into history.

Joplin.

Ive been paying for Workflowy and honestly, I’ve reached my limit of cost vs value.

I needed a way to do more than just bullets, like Evernote without the bloat, or OneNote/Notes without the megacorp, something I can export and read 100 years from now.

I was surprised how often I use it, and slowly weening off of Workflowy.

They can enjoy governing the red welfare states.

I know a lot of scientists who were already getting let go around the winter because finding dried up.

And with the way the US is going, that well continues to shrink.

Here you go chief! And so the withdrawal begins!

So when outreach workers from a Baltimore anti-violence program offered to help him stay safe and leave the streets behind, he didn’t necessarily have high expectations.

Two years later, Grant has an apartment and a full-time job with the city’s Department of Public Works. He recently started his own business that provides cleaning, landscaping and junk removal services. He plans to hire other young men from his old neighborhood to show them what is possible with hard work.

It’s very newsworthy to share about how everything goes to shit.

I remember right out of high school, Columbine happened, Rodney King was still fresh and the fast erosion of American freedom with Bush & TSA & immigrants. Combined with growing up in the ghetto and living off food stamps (if you are lucky) made it feel like life was incredibly hostile.

And all it took was some really kind people to show me what’s possible if I work hard at something and push forward.

These are good initiatives.
