I reached out to Mike Collins office multiple times to ask about his stance on pieces of legislation the last few months and the response was “You can’t expect Mr. Collins to have insight on all legislation being voted on”

Actually yes I can, it’s his job. This dude is awful for Georgia

I asked on LinkedIn a few weeks back if people would be interested in my insights on my career and a lot of folks said yes, so I started a newsletter called “Why Did They Hire Me”. I’m a little rusty with writing but here is my first post.

Not sure if this happens to others who work on games, but sometimes it’s easy to forget how fun the game you’re working on really is. Had a chance the last few days to play Minecraft just to play it, not to test a thing or verify a bug, but just to play it and what a delight it was

I’m going to call and email his office daily until he tells me what the plan is to make sure my local libraries have the funding they need to provide the services my community wants and needs

You should do the same for your representatives

I called Mike Collins’ office to ask about the IMLS funding being cut and the guy answering the phone said he couldn’t provide any information on such a niche issue. How are libraries niche?

I’m probably biased since I work at Microsoft/Mojang but my wife and I are millennials and loved it as did our kids (6 and 10)😁

I’m not a streamer but does it count that I built Minecraft from source code today on my framework laptop? 🙂. So it’s good for playing games AND making games

@frame.work I have had my framework laptop 13 since its debut and somehow I just now realized the framework button takes you straight to the website 😅

Keep building folks, love my laptop and everything you all are doing!

What if DeepSeek is so good because it’s not AI but actually a bunch of people in a data center responding to questions and the reason it lets you know its reasoning for the answer is to buy time.

I also feel this way about absolutely all of my devices and tech. I would pay a premium for no AI + the assurance that the device isn’t cobbling up all of my data
