Solarpunk game ideas
@solarbear Strongly recommend https://store.steampowered.com/app/1372320/Cloud_Gardens/
Neat little gem of a game where you cultivate plants in balance with scavenge to sustain/grow them.
@keliff I picked up one of these from their booth at a con awhile back. They are very good!

It’s a lovely afternoon in the mountaintop, and you are a fantastic lizard.

"Why are you loyal to NearlyFreeSpeech.NET?" because their response to a sudden burst of signups this month begins with this and gets better from there:
"So, a bunch of people suddenly discovered they care deeply about free speech immediately after a handful of racists faced even mild consequences for plotting a literal insurrection.
That does not reflect well on those people."

@monsterblue @Taylor Friends have had success with https://www.voicemod.net/, insofar as they bought the Pro version and proceeded to set up synth voices for themselves. But it's a bit invasive on advertising in the free version (only inside of the app itself), so caveat emptor.

@Taylor Reminder that voice mod exists and VRChat supports using it, for no reason in particular.

this is the face of a man who has just gotten a professional like 40-50 year old chess commentator to say "he started with king e2, aka the bongcloud, what would you have done against that"

to explain this: the bongcloud is a joke opening where you move your king forward within the first 3 moves of the game. this is basically never, ever a good idea, it's called the bongcloud as a joke
however, some of the best chess players in existence like to play stuff like this just to kinda. flex on their opponents and make the game harder for themselves because they're just that fucking good
uspol, snark, amazing infographic
Parler's poor API design, lack of scrubbing EXIF data, and swift action by archivists prior to its removal from AWS have led to something amazing: https://gizmodo.com/parler-users-breached-deep-inside-u-s-capitol-building-1846042905/amp

re: uspol, screencap, twitter, text description of violence
Note that much of this raw aggregation is certain to be bots, but the fact it has real engagement at all, and enough to top trending, is alarming.
uspol, screencap, twitter, text description of violence
Just going to screencap this for posterity, since it tidily explains why deplatforming is so essential, and why you don't let fascists use your platform.
(For those looking to corroborate this screenshot, since Twitter retains no visible history of trending topics, this is what is trending near Seattle, WA as of 10:30PM local time today.)

@fox_news @LexYeen Heads up that the first link was taken down with a correction: https://twitter.com/ErinInTheMorn/status/1347720191623516163

I typically sinkhole tech recruitment emails from these orgs, but I'm considering drafting a boilerplate for them that reads: your organization tacitly supports fascism, do not ever contact me again, thanks.

That it took a literal coup attempt and handover of Congress to Democrats before specific tech companies pretended to grow a spine is not something I will quickly forget.
