The NHS are forcibly detransitioning trans kids in Brighton and calling it “managed withdrawal.” Their own impact assessment acknowledges trans kids will be at increased risk of harm as a result, don’t want this, and are likely to just use DIY hormones instead

If anyone out there has the system-side netboot code needed to run these Samsung terminals, me and Chris would love to hear from you because without it these things cannot talk to or do *anything* and we both grabbed on from VCF West.

Helps improve memory and focus!

it's a minor miracle basic sewage systems work! bridges have been subject to failure for decades due to human error already--what happens when you mix in a mind that has been taught to rely on the "twelve Rs in strawberry" machine

not to imply some generational beef or anything, just anecdotally all i hear about students around the hospital in vancouver is that they use it for their courseload and im like what the fuck man you're at a HOSPITAL. your knowledge can decide if someone lives or dies!!

this is one of those things that realistically im prolly just making up a problem in my head but i think too much about what the hell infrastructure looks like decades from now. like what happens when a dam is in disrepair and the new generation of engineers used chatgpt throughout all of uni

VISA CAN'T HANG UP ON YOU UNTIL YOU STOP TALKING. YAPPERS, THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SHINE.

Talk in circles! Loop back to the same points! Take a minute to "remember" a word! Your goal isn't to change their minds, it's to keep talking for as long as possible to waste their money and clog call centers.

Reminder: Seeing evidence that the pushback is working is not a reason to step back and declare victory, it's a reason to ᴋᴇᴇᴘ ᴄᴀʟʟɪɴɢ!

Latest game dev progress, now (finally, again, after so long) with actual gameplay pretty much as in the old prototype~

If you haven't gotten on board yet, you're more than welcome to hop on at any time - even a short call to MC, Visa, Paypal, and Stripe helps put pressure on them to revise their policies! Kudos to Diesel for these graphics & cereza for keeping the sites up-to-date: bsky.app/profile/dies...

To echo others: that MasterCard is proactively reaching out to its advertising partners to try and blunt the impact of the pressure campaign is one of the surest signs the pressure campaign is having an effect (and after just two weeks, too!) Don't let up! Call/mail their asses!! #SaveSpeech

Screenshot of intro gamestate of my game, showing test message in small pixel font and the following text in a bigger, somewhat futuristic font: 0123456789 TIME 01:23:45 ENERGY 67 LEFT 89

Did more work on my game that wasn't actually work on the core game part; made another font, a bigger, somewhat futuristic 16x16 one -- think Wipeout or something -- that's meant for ex. the HUD. Not sure I love it, tho...

(and my font generation helper can now apply a gradient, btw)

a ms paint comic loosely inspired by xkcd 2347, in which a microsoft™ employee with an obonoxious face is excited to detonate Github™ using AI™, where github is a foundational block that a lot of random internet shit rests on

inspired by the news, a fresh take on a familiar comic

The UK is about to ban access to Wikipedia, just remember this bill was originally pitched as a means to protect kids from accessing porn.

At least two of the Twitter posts embedded here (and other sites sourcing you; cc @eurogamer.bsky.social) come from blatantly obvious right-wing Japanese accounts that are only posting about it as xenophobic culture war fodder. Maybe talk to a translator before ignorantly spreading such toxicity.

I knew at some point I would want to move off github but I really don't want to take the time to learn / set up something else, ugh

yeah sorry our wiki is only available as an onion link because otherwise some british mp will crawl up our ass because a game's textures have a tity.

(* this is not actually happening. it is hyperbole. a joke. humour. but it could very well not be a joke in the next few years and i hate that.)

given the way the internet seems to be going i am excited for the shitty future where everything is on a tor darknet because our collective governments have decided seeing a nipple is a memetic hazard for being a decent person. wild

a great example. here's this great smb2 rom hack you should try! it's one of the few completed smb2 hacks!

open it up, and... the very first level gives you a sight like this. (and no using luigi or peach, they're disabled)

and it does not get any easier.

One that *seems* decent based on a *very casual* search might be Codeberg, tho I have yet to use them. They just sound alright based on their site; not yet a recommendation. I remembered GitLab, but when the second sentence on the site is "With native AI at every step", I say fuck no and click away.

Oh fuck you, Microsoft. Not like the previous CEO wasn't some AI techbro idiot too (at least at this point), but I'll be actively looking for alternatives to GitHub now due to this, I suppose :|

With alt text

And I just noticed I had three characters start on the wrong column in the font image, but that's been fixed now, oops.

Screenshot of my game's "intro" gamestate, showing test messages, font test (Windows-1252 characters 0x20 to 0xFF) and lorem ipsum filler text

Extended ASCII as per Windows-1252, plus one of the other font highlight options (because I was improving my font generation helper), a thin drop shadow~

Earthion: Shoots for the stars A new Mega Drive game—and it is a Mega Drive game, not a generic “nostalgic ’90s retro revival”—here? Now? And developed by Ancient, no less: the team responsible for everything f…

Earthion makes a few obvious blunders that a developer with Ancient's expertise should have avoided, but on the whole this is an exciting and intense smup:
