Let's play the game today:
Is it a midlife crisis or an identity crisis?
Maybe it's *Capitalism*

Double down on being human No, I don't want to train your AI model.

Ubisoft closes Halifax studio weeks after devs vote to unionize Workers at the Canadian studio voted to unionize in December in search of security in an era of 'studio closures, layoffs, and increasing instability.'

Why are AAA Game Dev companies so afraid of Unions? #gamedev #ubisoft #unions

We should aspire to more than "if we don't force them they have no incentive to do a proper job". They need to do better. #ManageMyHealthNZ #NZPol

They sold a product that interacts with incredibly sensitive personal data, and instead of focusing on basic security they decided to hire AI experts and provide with the most abysmal system possibly imaginable. #ManageMyHealthNZ #AI

Because they should take all the necessary steps to have at least average security *regardless* of which standards are enforced or there is oversight in place. #ManageMyHealthNZ

Although I agree with most of what was written here, I have issue with this line: "Well, in my view, it’s not right to blame the doctors, ManageMyHealth, or the hackers that caused this breach." I do blame ManageMyHealth for this. #ManageMyHealthNZ #NZPol

ManageMyHealth Hack: A failure of standards — OpenAccess The ManageMyHealth breach exposes a system-level failure in how Aotearoa governs health IT security — relying on self-attestation, weak procurement controls, and the absence of enforceable standards.

This is a very insightful write up about how the lack of proper legislation and enforcement of standards plays a role in our health IT systems having extremely poor security, and how it directly contributed to Manage My Health recent hack #nzpol #ITSecurity

Excuse me PayPal, what the actual F? They sent me 'policy updates' that contain this gem. They literally say that they will use AI for financial profiling and will make decisions with regards to your account. 🙈

Can anyone recommend horror games created by women/gender diverse people? Indies welcome and encouraged.

As much as I appreciate Silent Hill F and want to play it (long time Silent Hill fan), I can't help but notice that these 'young female' centered stories are still written by older men for the most part, at least in the mainstream.

Work on figuring out the right audience for my game, and getting to know them better.
