This makes me so happy! We begged Shannon to go to a convention, she’s so talented and kind and has a whole life outside of Trek helping people in need. I can’t believe she’s never been to one of these, everyone please make sure she feels the love.πŸ––

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

particularly because those have far fewer trashola folks associated with them

listen i'm resigned to the fact that every once in a while my brain will give me a weird dream about a second season, but what if we brought back something else that didn't get a movie and a thousand comics

perhaps pushing daisies

or fuck it more venture bros

Long-COVID Sufferer Awarded Nearly $1M After Employer Refused to Let Her Work From Home | Law.com A jury in Nassau County awarded $954,000 to a longtime employee of Stony Brook University Hospital Blood Bank.

A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations.

May this set a precedent.

Remote work should be accessible to all who need it.

It’s a game changer for people with disabilities.

less than two months after release, highguard is shutting down. the usual suspects are chalking up its demise to culture war nonsense when the truth is more mundane: mismanagement sank another project. the video game industry punishes success and failure alike, but hubris most of all

During late beta, one of the devs spent days looking at my Qud crashlogs for my 'let's see how many hands i can fit on this character and how deep I can dig' run where I was blowing past a 2 GB memory limit until the game choked and died. Believe them when it comes to addressing performance.

When someone says β€žScientists do not want you to knowβ€œ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

RIP Highguard: In a better world, an FPS is allowed to be unpopular Highguard was not a dead game, it's being murdered.

Highguard was not a dead game, it's being murdered. Its only sin was not living up to expectations that only a dumb or spiritually bankrupt person would foist upon it. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/ri...

Quite literally, until you have 10 reviews Steam doesn't surface you at all.

Those first 10 reviews change everything. If you see a game with less than 10 reviews, you are being shown a life you can dramatically improve.

two weeks later and i still can't get this out of head, especially as i work through some of my first FF games

the internet loves to give modern pokemon shit for its graphics, but by refusing to participate in the AAA graphics arms race, they have unambigiously dominated the culture. they won.

As the guy who wrote the book on zoning abolition, I'd like to go on record as saying: if you can use zoning to stop the concentration camps, fucking go for it.

Screenshot of a social media poll by β€œthe-unflappablewolf” asking β€œWho would you trust more?” with results showing 94.7% for β€œtotal stranger in a Star Trek shirt” and 5.3% for β€œtotal stranger in a Star Wars shirt,” with over 83,000 votes.

Saying this as someone who grew up far more into Star Wars, the split on this poll is absolutely correct
