So I hear Tesla Cybertrucks have their own fireworks to celebrate New Years Day?

A virtual certificate with text "Celebrating 10M users on Bluesky, #676,910, Matthew Nami ‪@namiy.bsky.social‬, joined on Aug 22, 2023"

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #676,910!

Why does it seem like the world fell apart in one night?

* Dave Grohl (a man I look up to) just admitted publicly about an affair with an illegitimate child.
* Sony decided to screw people by announcing crap.
* Trump doing Trump things.
* so much other small stuff

That’s so amazingly stupid it could have only have come from a committee that doesn’t understand solutionism. Potholes are a big problem up and down the UK whilst AI is a fad that gives people who don’t deserve it money for nothing.

Did nobody see the Willy Wonka fiasco?!

The UK budget definitely pisses me off. But not more so than the one of the last points made that’s just been slowly sliding past.

The government are going to spend £200m on fixing potholes and £900m on AI.

For all the bluster about “not wearing poppies” in the British news media recently, I have not been able to find one Poppy stand between four tube stations, a national rail station, an airport and four supermarkets.
I would have loved to have worn one but nobody seems to be selling them nearby!

and then have the gall to claim credit for what Beyond the Summit did for Dota after effectively killing them?! Some situations need a lack of politeness. Much like Nintendo! (5/5)

I’ve been shouting into the void about this for years, but I guess when big money and lack of thought drive decisions more, then this is what you get.

I appreciate that it can be difficult to make hard decisions but they have made so many terrible easy ones;… (4/x)

to not just let go of things it no longer cares about but can still make them profit (like Nintendo). Dota Underlord, Artifact, Artifact 2, many different popular offshoot modes of both CSGO and Dota 2, Team Fortress 2 updates, the Valve Index, Day of Defeat, Steam Controller. (3/x)

and is slowly pulling support to the pint where it will die for good. And when I say ‘dead’ I mean less like Team Fortress 2 and more like Artifact.

Valve has done this so habitually over the past decade that this should not be surprising. And yet Valve is stubborn enough… (2/c)

Valve has made lackadaisical decisions with Dota 2 from 2017 onwards, that it’s very little surprise to me that the decision to pull the DPC is not only correct but also inevitable. My personal thought is that Valve had realised that Dota 2 is no longer the cash cow it once was… (1/x)

What’s up?
