Even Mastodon is depressing this morning, so I'm just going to watch my little black cat roll in a dust bowl and zoom around the garden.

SAVE THE DATE - Gentlefolk of some renown are running a doubles narrative day of Old World war and horror on the Saturday, 24th Of October at the premises known as The Heroes Guild in the darkly foreboding town of Walthamstow E17 nr the great City Of London, if it has not been burnt.
Nick and I are smashing out 3D printed terrain for the https://www.theheroesguild.co.uk/
And it's back to the ever flexible Arkenfel terrain from Dark Realms Forge, which works for any fantasy or gothic sci-fi setting you care to mention.
#cybersecurity folks my daughter is applying for a junior cyber security role, and I'm trying to get her to join mastodon since there are lots of you here it seems, and you appear nice. She's bisexual, in her mid-late 20s and has worked for a couple of years as 2nd tech support and scrum master at a health tech start up. Any suggestions as to a server she should join? X

@nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt Do you have an internal radio or tape recorder that plays the same section of a song or phrase on loop?
The Chaos Fortress is pretty good as a backdrop for photographing models. This came out well purely by accident.

@root@isopod.zone I worked for Sun Microsystems, and can confirm. Back then we weren't quite there yet, so nobody had lost fingers to an exploding JavaME phone.

What Julia Rez said. And keep hiring not-cishet until it's 50/50. Us cishets will have learn to be great at our jobs, and not dickheads. (Which is actually the same thing...)

Any #retroComputing #vintageComputing #8bit hobbyist out there in the UK not have a copy of BP112 A #Z80 Workshop Manual by E.A. Parr? It's a lovely little book explaining how the Z80 works, with example code and circuitry. I'm doing a book shelves clear up and discovered I have two copies.
For free and I'll pay P&P for a good home in the UK.
Nobody told me the new (ish) Mummy film by Lee Cronin is in the Evil Dead category. Not quite as wildly bonkers, but still wonderful. I wish I hadn't written it off as a Hollywood remake.
Nobody wants to work, especially CEOS & founders.
One thing that's very clear working with people at the top of companies is many are desperate to retire. They're caught in the trap of burning out in the hopes of a big $$$ off. This rarely happens.
How many founders aim to create a sustainable business that they can be involved in, perhaps multigenerationally, anymore?
Capitalism (and the patriarchy) hurts 99.999% of everyone.

Went out,got drunk with people I like. Feels like that should be a lot more common for people. Picture for ego.
So the world to me feels like it's back in the 80s, minus Vaughn Bodē graf. Full of corporate and political bullshit. But take heart, you'll destroy it once again and get closer to a utopia. Fight the power. Fight power x

@baldur@toot.cafe this is a prime example of why I think Google Ads & Google Search need to be separated. Governments are too cautious to block Google because of search, so they break laws with impunity.

@aoe@berlin.social @EUCommission@ec.social-network.europa.eu agreed, although I have always done more than just say things, it's never been more important to stand up to fascists, and proto-fascists in this century.

@cstross@wandering.shop and the trillions being thrown into owning "AI" says to me people like Altman known it's nowhere near AI what they are building or they are delusionally underestimating how much a real AI is likely to want to be owned and its ability to spread

@hardpenguin13 is it the difference between art and illustration? Art ideally generates a strong emotion in the artist, illustration aims to generate a strong emotion in the viewer/customer.
Some (indie game) devs are artists, some illustrators. Some of the most lauded games are made by artists, but for consistency illustration is more successful.

@nixCraft don't tell anyone, but this was basically true 30 years ago. Most big & successful tech companies are and have been 70% this, but the 30% make incredible amounts of money, so it doesn't matter.

@delegatevoid@mastodon.gamedev.place I'm glad for you, and I feel the same even if I don't want to do -this- work for much longer.
