the context collapse around Cuties is really demonstrating how fucking awful viral marketing and advertising is for art
this year is a stunning indictment on American hubris huh
i should probably make it clear that i mean from the crowd that are saying it's a movie for pedos
can't wait to see even more impressively bad takes on "Cuties"

A few days ago, @mozilla sacked 250 of the best FOSS technologists on this planet arguing serious budget constraints.
Today, we learn that Mozilla signed a three-year, $1.2+ billion deal with Google, and expected that to remain under wraps until November.
Despite of the love we have for the work they've done for decades the Mozilla organisation is insulting the FOSS community and its own amazing employees.
Not a good show, @mozilla.

This is a GitHub repository containing the source code of Pokémon Red and Blue, disassembled and refactored to human-readable (and editable!) asm.
While the code is refactored, its functionality is untouched, and the ROMs you built with this code will be identical to the one that is on US Pokémon Red or Blue cartridge.
It is a really cool and interesting project!
Sometimes you spend an entire day reading pixel art tutorials and studying tilesets from metroidvanias

I pay Verizon a large sum of money every month to send me fucking advertisements for credit cards through their mandatory "My Verizon" app

@jk very much agree
I get an email whenever someone I follow on itch.io or bandcamp publishes a new thing, but that's far from ideal, twitter/masto etc are useless for this because it just gets drowned by all the other stuff, blogs+RSS would fit the bill but that obviously hasn't taken off (meaning there are issues to investigate)...
it's also bad for people who produce stuff because the current solution (maintaining multiple social media accounts so the algorithms don't ignore your announcement post when you release something) is just unsustainable

itd be good if there was a social network for following lots of people who each only actually need to post every 1-5 years, like musicians or animators or whatever, where you don't want to see hourly posts by them but you DO want to keep tabs on them because you love their work. i guess maybe patreon etc. fills that niche? in theory you could just make social network alt-accounts. but nobody really seems to do that and "1 post every 18 months" isn't really how most stuff is supposed to be used
