    this IRL protest ad against Facebook&#39;s spyware glasses is fantastic. design is based on They Live!, one of my favourite movies, and one that is more accurate than ever given the extent to which billionaire scumbags fuck with our lives. “Billionaires could fund cures for cancer — so why are they funding glasses for perverts instead?&quot; https://hyperallergic.com/guerrilla-london-bus-ads-mock-kylie-jenners-meta-glasses-campaign/

    one of my favourite games I ever worked on was Blur in 2010. made by Bizarre Creations (Project Gotham, etc), it was a lovely game designed to be a smooth playing arcade racer with real cars, but with powerups and weapons like Mario Kart. it was a delight to play, and I was super proud to have worked on it. Activision killed it by launching it the same week as Disney&amp;#39;s Split/Second, with no advertising. it was infuriating. servers were shut down in 2013.

    https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/pull/310226 it&amp;#39;s never been a better time to switch to an editor that isn&amp;#39;t run by one of the most abusive companies in the world. zed has been treating me well for a while now, and I do recommend it. #aislop #copilot #microsoft

    pro-tip to folks doing backend: redis is not a long-term storage database. don&amp;#39;t use it for persistent data, even if you can. just spent the last couple hours debugging a prod game failure because the long-term key size for the game finally exceeded system RAM size, and then it just got in a loop where it would get killed, restart, try to load all the data, run out of RAM, and get killed again. just use postgres, y&amp;#39;all. don&amp;#39;t do this.
