This should be a viral national story in #US. After this team unanimously unionized, Google refused to come to the bargaining table.

A resolution supporting the workers was brought to the city council. The day the workers showed up to testify on the resolution, Google laid off the entire team.

This was the precise instant when YouTube Music employees became aware that we had lost our jobs, as we were addressing the City Council.

I'm amazed that people are still bothered to find new ways to launch games on #PS2. The latest discovery is that it is possible to do it through memory card slot, which apparently has more bandwidth than the built-in USB1.1 ports.

So with a special adapter, you can play from a MicroSD card without any of the stuttering that occurs when using a usb drive.

The thing is called MX4SIO

oh my god the fact that signal does not provide ANY way to export or backup message history on ios is awful. you can move it to a new device, but right now i have to restore an old backup on my current device, so i've spent half an hour desperately screenshotting/saving stuff

hi here's a report from the depths of hell: don't let an iOS device get below 1GB of free space, you absolutely can get it to a point of no return, where deleting apps no longer appears to work, and the preferences app crashes when trying to view the available free space

Transphobia makes absolutely no sense to me for lots of moral reasons, obvs

But transphobia is also just BORING

People can change their biology with chemicals and surgery and become a better affirmation of their TRUE SELF

How is that NOT the COOLEST FUCKING THING YOUVE EVER HEARD OF?!?!

This is a *fascinating* concept for games studies - "quotes" of a game that don't just show you a clip of gameplay, but actually let you take control and try it out. It trims the ROM down to only what's needed to run the quote, so this might even pass a fair dealing/fair use test in court if it came down to it - just like quoting a passage of text, or a clip of a movie.
