Nothing exciting

[Indie Game Joe @IndieGameJoe]

This indie dev is making a space automation game where you start with one ship & end up commanding 1,000+

- Automate orbital supply chains between planets
- Only launch when the window aligns
- Something lurks in the outer reaches

It's called Launch Window. Would you play this?

Right well that’s us officially out.

Best trip of my life. Best fans in the world. Best wee lad to do it with. Never forget it.

Experience was incredible. Football was genuinely atrocious.

Thank you to America for having us. Perfect hosts.

Elmo’s mommy and daddy said Elmo could stay up past bedtime for the big game tonight!

Home time. The USA have been fantastic hosts! We’ve loved the welcome from every city and state we’ve been in 🇺🇸

If you want to hate the world, watch the news. If you want to love the world, travel it. 🌎❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿✈️🇺🇸 #scotland #fifaworldcup

Two months ago I was fired by Google for creating the Google Workspace CLI. It went viral, hit #1 on Hacker News, gained thousands of GitHub stars and many thousands of actual users in just a couple days.

It was an incredible, confusing journey, from directors and leaders asking what they could learn from the tool to getting grilled by legal about why the Google logo and brand colors are on the Google Workspace GitHub code repositories.

I think the cause was that Workspace and certain leaders (and projects) were afraid of being disrupted. But the fear wasn't specific to my CLI, it was a broader fear in what agents meant for Workspace. Either way, the irony of my termination was the announcement at Google Cloud Next two days before I was fired that an official Workspace CLI was coming.

I want this out there because it is easier for me to explain my story and it is an experience I want to fully own. It's also part of my healing.

Nearly 7 years at Google was an incredible opportunity for me and I was fortunate to have wonderful teammates and a manager that fully supported me through these last few months. Thank you.

@StrawJamsEsq @g04tn4d0 @SandyofCthulhu Pretty sure Romero’s Testsrossa was “fly yellow” and Carmack’s were red: 328 GTS, Testarossa, F40 and F50. 👍

Bobby Prince, the legendary composer behind games such as DOOM, DOOM II, Wolfenstein 3D and Duke Nukem 3D, has sadly passed away.

May he rest in peace ❤️

Hello Stargate universe!
I truly enjoyed my time as part of the Stargate Atlantis family. “ Colonel Marshall Sumner”. Many of the cast are still in my life to this day. That’s rare. This community is rare. #SaveStargate
LFG!!!!!

Can we make Europeans coming here a yearly thing? Like for a month out of the summer they just come here and go on adventures

[Bob Gilbert @MrBobGilbert]

@RaySharradh @chudds007 @FOX4 @Jaboowins Yeah… try again, you’ll get it eventually

I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.

Quick heads up: the first wave of Alpha invites goes out Thursday at 10am PT.

[jay plemons @jayplemons]

The American Fork city council was just warned: the increased taxes won’t be enough to cover the massive lawsuit that’s coming.

The AFPD reportedly violated the rights of Reckless Ben. The police chief then issued a public statement that was easily debunked by the bodycam footage they accidentally released.

They swatted and arrested a group at gunpoint, including a minor.

Now citizens are living in fear of retaliation after seeing what their police department was willing to do to cover for Bricks and Minifigs.

Dear GitHub Copilot team,

I am happy to announce that I successfully burned all of my monthly tokens in under 3 days thanks to your garbage new pricing model.

I'd also like to inform you that I won't be renewing my subscription or adding more budget.

Best,
A former customer.

Ubisoft CEO is today having an "invitation-only" meeting with the European Commission, hosted by VGE, 2 weeks before the EC planned answer to our ECI.
SKG was not invited.

Thus, we publish an Open Letter, that we invite everyone of you to read it and share it for visibility.

Amazon cancelled the new Stargate show.

The rumor is that the show writer, Martin Gero, would not budge on compromising lore or elements within the show for a "wider modern audience" as they did with Rings of Power for LoTR lore.

Martin Gero wanted to create a show that maintained continuity in the story and lore of the old shows, including the mythology and tech, while respecting the 17 seasons of history.

Amazon instead wanted something new for the "modern audience" that's more accessible, reimagined, with more modern casual sensibilities.

Because the showrunners wanted to maintain integrity rather than turn Stargate into another "modern audience slop" like Rings of Power, Amazon leadership canceled it. The franchise heavyweight, like Joseph Mallozzi, was very excited for the fresh stories Gero worked on. Amazon says they are still open to Stargate, just not "this" version... yes they wanted to Rings of Powerify Stargate.

We really can't hate these people enough.

Hundreds (or maybe thousands) reached out to me about covering the Reckless Ben Lego videos. Ben reached out to me as well. Basically, he made a video about a stolen Lego collection that ended with him getting arrested and charged by the American Fork Police Department in Utah..

Patreon CEO Jack Conte delivers a message to Bricks & Minifigs after they sent an official takedown request for Reckless Ben’s videos

“We have in fact unfortunately determined that Bricks & Minifigs can stuff it, we’re keeping Ben’s page up”
