i'm releasing my game in a few days! it's a horror comedy where you explore an abandoned lab but your only form of navigation is a shitty AI visor <3

the platform i've built here may not be very useful to my current projects but i can at least make sure that a few thousand people will see this weird fucking cat that i'm petsitting

hi i'm working on a new thing. it's a dread-based narrative game where you explore an undersea lab, with your only form of navigation being an unreliable AI built by techbro hypsters.

i've got a 5-10 minute demo so far if you want to check it out 💖

my shitty joke has been cropped and reposted on reddit so many times that it's lost half its pixels. you can barely even read it anymore

i welcome anyone who's mad at the c-word to be smug at me like the other replies, but before you do that can i recommend:

@MatthewRideout the problem is that automation is currently owned by business owners. more automation will just mean more profits for them, not more free time for us. i disagree with this youtuber on a lot of things but he does have a good video on this: youtu.be/HxjpvPSKkLw

@cherthedev what did i do :(

i wish Australia was more relevant in mainstream online politics because we've really got the best stuff going on

working on a theory

@netspooky 😭

@marvelator there is a very simple solution to this

@BoredAstronaut socialists do make this distinction

that's my monthly allowance of climate existentialism spent. anyway, there's a million things we can do to fight climate change and none of them include capitalism: youtube.com/watch?v=ay8zeU…

wow, the new github copilot is really smart!

oh god oh no

@akshitrewari gift economies have existed since the dawn of time, and only recently did things changed. once again, I'm not here to argue or explain anything, but I can point you to resources of which there are many if you want to look: youtu.be/nJCUubQB8CE
or google "gift economies".

@mstrk512 @pandoras_foxo some more stray links on other stuff that i find interesting:

@mstrk512 @pandoras_foxo one of my go-to videos on this is by halim alrah... it has the word "marx" in the title but don't let it scare you too much lol. youtube.com/watch?v=TLwHsU…
his other stuff is good too. just to repeat: i don't *hate* managers, i just don't see their interests aligning with employees.

@AllbirdsAndNode here's a decent vid on how worker co-ops work: youtube.com/watch?v=fOqqRD…

this is one of the funniest hackernews comments i've ever read

@AndeeLiao what do you think of co-ops? 😇 youtube.com/watch?v=fOqqRD…

@AmirLivneBaron it sounds like you might be working with the definition of "genocide" which has been popularized by various nation states in order to excuse them of it. i thought this video was informative: youtube.com/watch?v=m316Dc…

@justarandomgeek @aveIIar yep it's part of a larger function

@xssfox the comparison of how much data i've used vs how many people i've talked to is very telling

@iximeow @slyduda @Dixie3Flatline omg fine y'all can have little a intro, as a treat

@iximeow LOOK AT HOW HARD IM WORKING

@a_s_arthur you want to lean into that. my first instinct is usually graphs so here's another example of how your joke could work. it's still not very good but getting there. hope this was helpful and not just me monologuing about something you didn't ask for lol.

@le_faguette_ this is what people have been getting awarded recently

i - wait, what?

@DaddySoSaddy why does he always look like he woke up outside after a massive bender and isn't sure where he is

@krakissi

@be9a0013 omg he's literally this guy

@denvercoder ok i actually thought this was funny!

@CraigEwert But we're not. We live in systems that encourage competitive and antisocial behavior, but humans are fundamentally a collaborative species or else we wouldn't have survived or advanced this much. Idk, check out some political anthropology youtube.com/watch?v=nJCUub…

@Palmettobling I'd have to say this badger, just because it's still my favorite cover

@slyduda i've moved more into digital painting lately actually. i haven't been posting it because i've still got a way to go, but once i get good i might make a dedicated acc for it and start living off commissions and never code again :)))

@olafurw it only goes up to page 272. poor showing from our man LaVey

@worldsayshi There's countless ways to handle supply chains that don't involve racking up insulin's price to be $275 a vial. Idk this vid might be a good place to start: youtube.com/watch?v=-9GOWh…

@ExcitedLeigh yup! Empanada did a video on it: youtu.be/NgjHMZxZTtg

@fahaad_abbadi me, who's also writing an e-book:

check out this comment defending Github helping ICE deport migrant families because Github..... donates to charity?

@ComradeEevee thought you were talking about

🤔

the CTOs are getting scared

Python is a little tricky because it doesn't have if statements, but I think this is a good alternative.

@Yippie371

@svblxyz nasdfliaefbv fsfffffffdfdghk

i love programmer stock photos. why does this guy have the exact same code on all three screens

Not sure what we need front end developers for. My website looks fine

how funny would it be if shopify's front end developers just stopped working. like if they just united and went on strike for a couple days and brought the whole company to a standstill. wouldn't that be a funny prank

hey what

class consciousness has ruined me

me realizing you can use git to deploy apps 5 years into my dev career

@eXigentCoder youtube.com/watch?v=wflMmN…

@ClayLoam you know it. there's so much wrong with it but i'm mostly offended by the fact that the dude just doesn't think gay people exist

i am not a good driver, but i can very proudly say that i have never used the brakes

i hate my followers

can twitter please add a setting where they ask you if you're sure you want to post an image without alt text. like how emails ask if you've forgotten to add an attachment. i mean i can't keep doing this

i know this is meant to be a joke account but i'm actually completely serious

do people deserve rights? tech ceos weigh in

imagine sending this to someone in 2019 with no context

i love coming back to old clients and seeing that the comments i wrote years ago are still there

@DMilan Video on the "human nature" topic: youtube.com/watch?v=P-MhzL…

If you're interested in a more academic analysis from an zoological perspective, I recommend Kropotkin's work on the matter: theanarchistlibrary.org/library/petr-k…

@tequejojo anarcho-communism. if you're interested in learning more, this dude has a bunch of vids on it: youtube.com/watch?v=HxjpvP…

@jamiepine You could onboard other creatives to project A while you go work on project B for a while. Without intellectual property laws, mobility between projects would rise. I'm simplifying it tho. If you're interested, here's a good video series on the subject: youtube.com/watch?v=ZzEl5R…

@Javerage_ @expectproblems i don't post it so much because i'm still learning. might make a dedicated account for it one day though :)

The audacity

hands down the best feature on this website

🥴

@DUIofPhysics decent series on how anarchism would work: youtube.com/watch?v=ZzEl5R…

Probably time for a station update again;

- Trans rights are human rights
- Policing as an institution is built on racism and oppression. Abolish it and build better alternatives
- Want to learn about anarchism? dm me, I got links ❤️
