U.S. may require visa applicants to post bond up to $15,000 to enter country The State Department is proposing requiring applicants for business and tourist visas to post a bond of up to $15,000 to apply to enter the United States.

If you're from a country with a weaker economy or difficult entry requirements into the US: do not spend money on GDC. Do not book a ticket. Do not book a hotel. Do not pay for a visa. Skip that cynical for-profit extortion, or the US will take your money & spit you out.

i have an enormous amount of respect for PCB fab workers. PCBs are ubiquitous and mostly invisible, but it takes a surprising and hard to understand amount of expertise to make them reliably at any scale and price, much less at the scale and price we're seeing

It turns out very rich people are so used to being told they're right that the machine that only says "yes, you're so smart" in statistically likely ways can easily trick them into believing it is as smart as they believe they are.

Putting aside many of the ways this is insanely embarassing and focusing on one mistake you'd maybe think this particular kind of person would not make:

surely a programmer on video games of all things would know better than to draw a conclusion like this about a program from its *output*?

Look I say someone on the left runs on a Releasing The Epstein Files And Jailing Those Who Defended Them platform

It could work! We should try it!

We live in a nation where I am now sending out alerts about what the U.S. attorney general is doing in our name.

It’s a lot to sit with.

It’s going to get a lot darker before it starts getting lighter, but I will keep doing what I do. And, it will get lighter again.

As GDC talk applications have opened, I want to politely remind you that GDC remains one of the most inaccessible, unfairly expensive, and dangerous for-profit game industry events out there - and that offering your labour for free to it just adds value that pressures people into going needlessly.

Genuinely asking, what is the etiquette for using another artists tattoo design as a reference image? Specially talking artists designs and not stolen google art.

I would personally still ask my artist to have their own design rather than copy someone else’s work. Yeah?

Like this will be fine tbh, but more bulky for setup.

New antenna for video came…bigger than expected…then realized I got the array.

Woke up early this morning, so went out for a ride to find somewhere to fly!

I bet the Australian government doesn't even know and is preferring not to ask to ensure it doesn't know.

Semi-honest question for the bsky lawyers: if, in the state of California, an unidentified person in a mask approaches another person in a way that implies imminent harm, is the latter person, reasonably fearing imminent harm, allowed to defend themselves with proportional force while retreating?

Some afternoon flying today!

Aaaaand the footage of the flight it happened on.

Oops…good thing I have a spare! Should be fixable as well!

The accused assassin allegedly used data brokers to track down the Democratic lawmakers he murdered. Congress doesn't need any more proof that selling data to anyone with a credit card is deadly. Every American's safety is at risk until Congress cracks down on data brokers.

Suspect showed few signs of political extremism before lawmaker shootings Friends and associates say Vance Boelter, who was apprehended late Sunday and charged with murdering a state lawmaker and her husband, was mild-mannered and did not appear to be fixated on politics.

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."
