Kritik an geplanten Änderungen durch die Koalition bei der Aktenherausgabe Um kritische Infrastruktur besser zu schützen, will die Koalition das Akteneinsichtsrecht von Bürger:innen einschränken. Kritiker fürchten, damit sollten künftig unliebsame Recherchen verhindert werde...

Obacht, Berlin, schwarz-rot will die Informationsfreiheit beschneiden. Und zwar im Galopp, drangeklebt an ein anderes Gesetz.

Burnout 3 is underrated as one of the very, very best games of all time because you can show Burnout 3 footage to people two decades later and their reaction will still be "hell yeah, this rules. I wanna play this right now."

Hey All, I made a header only C++ library (MIT) where line of code inits, then you can start writing to pixels on the screen.

I call it thirteen.h, inspired by the simplicity of the 13h days.

Examples include a mandelbrot viewer and a playable mine sweeper game.

Notepad++ users take note: It's time to check if you're hacked Suspected China-state hackers used update infrastructure to deliver backdoored version.

In case you missed yesterday, Notepad++ auto-update mechanism was hacked and was delivering backdoored versions for a couple months. Tons of devs use this, uninstall completely what you have, search for the sus files mentioned in article and only download from official site

Things websites/apps incorrectly assume about language: You have only one native language. Your nationality defines your native language. Your native language is your preferred language. You always use the same language. You will never mix languages in the same sentence.

"average indie game dev gets an IGF nomination" factoid actually just statistical error. AP Thomson, who lives in a cave and got 9 nominations over two years, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

I cant keep quiet anymore. We need to talk about the fucking kerning at Berlin Bundesplatz.

This needs to be fixed. It drives me mad every time I pass by there.
