in its latest scumbag move, google added nebulous "smart" features you can only use when you consent to let them scrape all your data, added a "when you check this box we get all your personal data" box in settings, then, in an act of generosity, ticked it for themselves and didn't tell users.

Microsoft warns that Windows 11's agentic AI could install malware on your PC: "Only enable this feature if you understand the security implications" Microsoft is pushing ahead with its plan to add agentic capabilities to Windows 11 but has issued an important security warning for anyone who is interested in trying it out.

I do this ish for a living, I am an AI developer and researcher, and *I* don’t fully understand the security implications. What hope do regular users have?

When will Windows let audio work. You plug in a controller and it whispers "you will never hear anything ever again, pig" directly in your ear as everything shuts down for no reason. If you try using VR the sound starts coming from your car. Editing in two windows? Audio plays backward, fuck you.

Meme of a cat that's usually looking at a brain, but now it's looking at the Unreal Engine logo. Text says "Why is it always" and that's followed by a screenshot of the "Compiling Shaders" alert from Unreal

Overton window can move in that direction, too, one should hope.

Even wilder is that some organizations only consider X posts as appropriate social media outreach while disregarding Bluesky/Mastodon/other, and thus many parties are forced to keep using it to fill out contractual obligations in order to keep their funding 🫠

Yeah! This part's been puzzling me - whenever any news are around social media content, it's always X-only embeds/quotes that I see in the news articles. Baffling nonsense, especially since X is setup so that its embeds are blocked/unviewable by default unless you admit any cookies all the time.

Ridgeline lead 'disappointed' in Battlefield 6 credits A year after EA shuttered Ridgeline Games, Marcus Lehto expressed disappointment about his former teammates being relegated to a "Special Thanks" section.

NOTHING is lost by properly crediting individuals for the exact contributions they made. You list the entire executive suite who never touched a key and yet people who ground on the game for years are regulated to a "and they were also here." It's not hard. www.gamedeveloper.com/business/rid...

Having a real good time with Absolum. It does an excellent job giving you new skills to toy with, and varied paths to explore.

Feels like a very clever iteration on the Streets of Rage formula, bringing it up to date. Solid stuff.

It was this big sense of overarching mystery I'd wait to get a new tasty slice of, never sure how much or little each game would deal it out or when.

I don't know what manner of idiot I am, but I've dabbled in three or four of the first games - liked 'em well enough but kinda lost momentum somewhere - and I always thought the Animus stuff being there was kinda the point, narratively, right next to the wall-climbing gameplay and historical cities.

HEY YOU! BIG. SCARY. HOUSE.

It’s me, your favorite Imp!
I snuck into the trailer. I look amazing.
