At the same time, such groups massively increase the workload needed to handle these sorts of cases in a way which doesn't help the people at the core of these cases, the victims and the people hurting those victims

Roblox just needs to communicate more, 15 min response times are great but not said

These reports are released a while ago and don't represent that content creator, it just flagged me to check if it has been posted

Realistically the existence of a vigilante group is a failure of both Roblox and law enforcement, it's a failure of both systems if it has to exist

Screenshot showing two of Roblox's California AB 587 transparency reports. On the left is Q1 and Q2 2024 and on the right is Q3 and Q4 2024. On the left is a number of tables showing data behind Roblox's Terms, on the right is Roblox's Terms of Use and little of anything else

Roblox has now decided it does not give a shit about the good thing it's done for a year by quietly giving absolutely zero data how well their moderation team has done in some key areas

My brain just went Point of Sale

Same vibe as that, tell the user this persons DMs are open and sending a friend request is not required

You know it’s a great start to a Monday when you’re woken up at 5am by some house alarms going off and you can’t quite get back to sleep

Happy Friday

Now that's awesome, you can now exploit your own place to test anti exploits

Graph showing CCUs over the last 48 hour period. Highlighted is a peak at 15:00 BST which shows concurrent users hit 8,373,094

Steam charts for PUBG which showed the all time player count peak of 3,257,248

Big congrats to all of the team behind Grow a Garden for hitting a massive 8.373 million CCU

For some context, this is 2.57x the peak CCU of PUBG back in 2018 when it launched, the highest CCU in Steam records.

Now that is the power of #Roblox

Oh well, back to writing code. It's going well, it's nice writing some fun micro websites

Can confirm I'm still alive, it's nice to be doing other things

At the same time, it's fun to see what has changed in the Roblox space; so I visited Twitter for the first time in 6 months, turns out very little has changed. Too many people are still there, what will it take? No idea

TBF AI is a drug so an editor focused entirely around using a drug to be more “productive” is a pretty easy way to ruin a generation of developers and cause them to be dependent on AI forever

Screenshot of a Mastodon post showing a Lua ruler in someone’s hand. The post says “Here, take a Lua ruler! It starts with one!”

You know, Roblox should absolutely make this a gift item. That or I make it myself

That's pretty awesome, players can now give feedback directly.

Thanks Roblox

The worst part for me is that getting PIP is a requirement for other things like the disabled railcard

I was disabled enough as a child to get PIP, exam adjustments, disabled student allowance, but today I’m not considered disabled enough and thus I lose my disabled railcard access

Save the Date: RDC25 Hey Developers - Get ready… We’re thrilled to announce the Roblox Developers Conference (RDC) is coming back as a virtual and in-person event to San Jose on September 5-6! What is RDC? ...

I will say it's great to see RDC announced with plenty of time.

But I don't know about it being a 2 day affair again. It just feels too short, and I'm happy the replies say that.

With the current state of the US? Doubt I'll want to travel

Damn Im not in the photo

Finally, Roblox is continuing to seek acquisitions and investments. Roblox in concerned about US v China due to Luobu. No change in dividends.

Roblox continues to lease the old HQ offices, ending between 2027 and 2031.

(Slight tangant, the title's wording is a bit confusing, it's a list of girl scouts who are trans but are not just transwomen, includes our enbies and transmen too)

2025 Trans Girl Scouts To Order Cookies From! This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

Sadly I don't get the joy of ordering Girl Scout cookies from here in the UK.

But if you do and you're from the US, here's a list of 100 Girl Scounts you should totally order from

Low quality oddly cropped in photos work wonders

“What have I done to be here”

Happy birthday, here’s a meme involving a cat, best of both worlds

Happy new year and welcome to 2025! Blwyddyn Newydd Dda a chroeso i 2025!

The clock has reset, even though 2024 might not have been your year you're still here and that's great.

Let's make the most of it, even if with the small wins.

Feliz Navidad
Merry Christmas

I did briefly hear about Komodo and yes I’m currently using Immich

Right now it’s mostly been seeing what works for me

In a related affair, it’s been fun to run Coolify locally, to self host some tools like a GitHub alternative and a Google Photos alternative.

I’m not entirely sure if I prefer it over Proxmox but I think it has a place in my infra. Just about finding the right tool for the right project

I find it the most understandable reason, not a doubt in my mind

I suspect my fear comes from the idea that someone’s normal posting rate has dramatically changed and that maybe some abandonment has occurred

Something I’ve seen many times before (👀 Mastodon)
