at last, we have invented retrophenology from the classic Discworld text Don’t Invent Retrophenology

Et souvenez-vous aussi que la protection des enfants n'est qu'un prétexte.

Le vrai sujet de fond, c'est le commerce de vos données, la surveillance et le contrôle des population. En ces temps de fascisation globalisée, ça tombe quand même drôlement bien.

Discord n'est que l'arbre qui cache la forêt (et vous avez bien raison de leur faire entendre votre mécontentement).

Mais il faut aussi bien comprendre qu'il s'agit là d'une lame de fond politique qui finira par toucher toutes les grandes plateformes.

Il n'y aura pas d'alternative pour tout.

Text on Twitch's website saying "Verify Your Identity" "Submit proof of identity and location to receive your payout" "In order to receive your payout, you need to verify your identity through Persona, Twitch's identity verification service. You will have 3 tries. Please be ready to provide both of the following: 1. A picture of your government-issued identification card, such as an identity card, passport or driver's license. 2. A "selfie" (i.e., a picture of your face), taken using a webcam or phone camera. By clicking "Start Verification" below, you understand that you will be leaving Twitch and will be redirected to Persona's service, and further understand and acknowledge that Twitch may send Persona limited personal information about you to facilitate the identity verification process, in accordance with Twitch's Privacy Notice. Information you provide to Persona will not be used for any purposes other than to verify your identity and will not be stored for longer than necessary to fulfill this purpose. Need Help? See our detailed onboarding guide." "Start Verification"

Twitch is requiring new Affiliates, before their first payment, to give government photo ID and a separate photo to Persona, the same Persona that has connections to government mass surveillance programs. When I asked Twitch support for another option, they said there isn't one. #twitch #persona 1/4

I am kind of scared about how fast all of these sites are kind of just pointing the gun at you to hand over your personal information. Feels like the opposite of everything i learned about internet safety when i was in elementary school

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

This doesn't seem worth having a Discord account

5,200% price hike on fonts has Japan’s indie game devs scrambling The new pricing structure from Tokyo-based Fontworks, which is owned by U.S.-based Monotype, also includes caps on users that would incur even more fees.

C'est avec beaucoup de tristesse que nous vous annonçons le décès de François TJP, des suites de son cancer. Il nous a quittés sereinement, et entouré de ses proches. Le père de la Ficson s'en est allé, mais son héritage reste. Ce qui pourrait lui faire plaisir ? Vous voir continuer à créer, même juste sur une blague idiote, même pour faire marrer trois personnes : amusez-vous dans ce hobby qui est le nôtre, et restez gentils et humbles. Il laisse un sacré vide derrière lui, charge à nous tous de le remplir avec de l'humour et de la joie, même si, pour l'instant, le temps des larmes est de mise. Prenez soin de vous tous.

The Spire awakens once more in Steam Early Access on March 5, 2026! ⚔️

Will you attempt the climb alone... or enlist the aid of your fellow adventurers?

Today I woke up increasingly fucking angry about this. I'm sure 10+ billion hours of children scrolling an endless dopamine hit of slop games is 100% fine for their development, right?

I don't look at this as market opportunity. I look at this with genuine fear for the next generation.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Augh. Massive flooding in Angoulême. Those who have been to the festival will recognize the Museum. Overhead shot of the plaza & the building, and groan the ground floor.

Tough year for Angoulême. Held hostage by the vile ex-director, fest canceled, now this.

This is the most thorough evisceration of armchair game design and online gamer groupthink I've ever seen
