Elder Millennial just passing by - Formerly Games Developer, Writer/Reviewer for Thirteen1 Mag and maker of stupid Youtube Videos - Now Tinkering in normal Software, 3D Printing Stuff and Trying to raise a child properly | He/Him | @alixh.bsky.social
Today, we are announcing the formation of United Videogame Workers-CWA, an industry-wide union formed by @codecwa.bsky.social and @cwaunion.bsky.social 💪🎮
We're launching at #GDC2025 this morning to build a video game industry that works for us. We're done playing.
They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Post your favourite Doctor Who, wrong answers only.
Congrats, with luck it won't be the only outing in the whoniverse
It's a Chief Miles Edward O'Brien meme. He's standing magnificently in his uniform and smiling at us, his loving onlookers. Meme caption reads, "INSIDE YOU ARE TWO WOLVES. SORRY ABOUT THE TRANSPORTER MALFUNCTION"
I don't usually "do memes" but I'm about to hop on a 7hr flight so I say we do a #StarTrek meme roundup today. Dig deep, and bring the best you got! Most liked meme wins 5 Stanley Nickels!
I'm devastated to report that Sandra Powers, the power behind Petopia and creator of Warcraft Mounts, passed away from cancer on 25 January. Known as Mania to Petopians, Sandra ran Petopia through WoW's golden age and is responsible for taking the small site and making it what it has become. Sandra was funny, patient, smart, generous, and a great teacher. When she couldn't run it anymore she handed Petopia to me in the mid-2010s and taught me all I needed to know. Sandra was an MMO producer and engineer who worked on Asheron’s Call, EverQuest II, and she and her husband Eric built their own MMO: Project Gorgon. The world is a worse place for her loss. You can find Sandra's famous orc persona immortalised behind Trueshot Lodge in Highmountain.

Yuck Elon, and Yuck Twitter Gold 🤮
It costs around 12K a year….
What a horrible waste of money,
Instead of doing that, we are giving $1000 to a different charity each month this year.
Starting with Doctors Without Borders!

Steph Jansen about to place a piece of wool top onto a colourful felt landscape in progress on her studio table
Hello Bluesky! I'm Steph Jansen and this is me, working on a felt landscape in my home studio. I make vibrant, textile 'paintings', inspired by walks with my sketchbook in and around Derbyshire. Follow me to see work-in-progress, walks in the woods, sketching trips, and available artwork 🖼
When passing this on to family recently - I actually found an example of just this happening - this Laptop sat around the £630 mark for months - but jumped to £799 just before the Prime Day and again just this week

There's something I need people to understand.
The studio that made this released some numbers. They had to produce 85 minutes of footage to find 15 usable seconds for this ad.
The machine that creates moving images out of nothing has a failure rate of 340:1 and the best 15 seconds... is this.

A drawing of Jadzia Dax in front of a trans pride flag, superimposed with the text, "Friend of Dax" in DS9 title fonts.
A drawing of Miles O'Brien explaining something to Rom and Leeta in Quark's Bar. Above, it says "The boss needs you, you don't need them!" and below, it says "Labor is entitled to all it creates."

I design merch that combines niche pop-culture references (especially Star Trek, particularly DS9) with elements from queer history, labor history, and liberation movements. This is some of my work, which you can find on stickers & shirts, patches, pins & prints at willburrows.art
😂
absolutely incredible
Access to the Google cloud architecture would be a good shout. They have been trying to get things moved off it after not paying the bill bet is the move is still incomplete for some stuff but not others and google cut them off anyway
I'll bet they will have been planning but there limits to what you can do and how do you prep for a sudden shift if in policy so counter to the core business model of the competition?
