This is scary. It's (strong) SafetyNet for websites.

Every now and then I run into another Android app I can no longer run because someone decided my phone, running an official build of my choice of OS, that isn't even rooted, is "not trustable".

Now they want to start doing that for websites.

This kills open Linux on the desktop (including Asahi Linux). It kills alternative browsers. It is a backdoor to kill ad blockers.

No. Just no. Please.

open source projects should have anti-acknowledgments, i.e. "project is kept maintained despite the best efforts of the xenophobe [name] that kept harassing the lead developers"

had the honour of drawing this piece that takes up a BIG wall in the new GiGO Shibuya building in Tokyo, which houses a Fangamer Japan retail store! I think it's going to be up for a year. Go check it out if you're in Japan!

Unreal…

Bubsy 3D is many things, but is it... aesthetic? Great video from Joyless, who I don't think is on Mastodon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BYo_OKvmDo

I should clarify that either way, I'm absolutely someone with odd musical tastes.

Nelward is one of my favorites, I've spent entire days just listening to this on repeat. It's a space you can just exist in. The space is stinky and smells like cheese, but like, fancy cheese. https://open.spotify.com/track/4abRyDsuAIyrxjdpeuWrpP?si=Qr0qcnxRTVabaStrA7J9jA

If you are horrified by the Web Environment Integrity proposal by Google (#DRM for ads), stop using Chrome and switch to Firefox and block ads everywhere.

The only eyeballs left for Google to show ads are the ones protected by ad blockers. That’s the highest growth opportunity they have, and we cannot let them have it.

Such a banger by Heaven 17. The bass player is having way too much fun on this one.

Game 126: Oil's Well (1984), by John Rinck & Thomas Mitchell.

The world hungers for oil but getting the white globules it's contained in is dangerous work, Earth's subterranean creatures protect them fiercely.

The petroleum industry's solution? Put Pac Man on a big pipe and push him down the mines where he can freely eat both oil and creature, and retract the pipe when enemies come close to touching to it.

But don't forget that time is money so you need to work fast.
