I need to add a lot more stuff (doors, windows, floors, roofs) to make this into a proper log cabin, but that's a solid start πŸ₯°

Friends, please spend this weekend learning how to make a backup copy of your PC's hard disk. Especially if your PC is too old to know what a cloud is, let alone back up your data to one.

Guess what happened in my field work today, a Friday the Thirteenth, that prompted this reminder.

Somebody posted this with the label "The 4 types of IT guys" so I fixed it.

Flappy Bird is getting re-released

Huh. Cool, I guess.

The original creator is not involved; an unaffiliated company sniped the trademark when he failed to re-register it when it expired

Oh....

It's a trojan horse for "play-to-earn" blockchain bullshit

Sigh

HAH. Gods, Unity is shameless.

So removing the Runtime Fee, great, right?

Except they're using that press as cover for an 8% increase on Unity Pro costs, and a fuckin 25% increase on Unity Enterprise.

(and remember, they forced most folks onto Pro tier, few #GameDev types can operate on Free tier)

Flappy Bird being abandoned because its creator got nervous about it being "addictive," only for the trademark to be picked up by a crypto shill, really feels like some kind of heavy-handed satire

This is probably the closest thing to actual journalism I've ever done.

You know the "creator-owned" streaming service Nebula? The one that content creators frequently refer to as "my streaming service Nebula" when advertising it?

Something about that always felt off to me so I did some digging to find the actual ownership structure of the company.

what if sisyphus got a coin every time he rolled the boulder up the hill and then he could spend his coins in the shop to level up his pushing ability but each time he leveled up the boulder also got heavier so the challenge remains the same despite feeling like progression has been made. and what if he was able to unlock sisyphus minions that could roll the boulder up the hill while he was away. also every time he starts a new roll an ad plays. and also he can choose to watch an ad every time he drops the boulder to receive 2x coins for that round. and also you can buy fun skins for the boulder through microtransactions
