I'm gonna fork python and call my new language "Python 4"

it'll be exactly the same as python 3 except print is a statement again, instead of a function.

This paper has comprehensively demonstrated why you don't roll your own anonymization (unless extremely qualified). It's pretty epic:

... It also demonstrates that a bunch of
economists will say a lot of hateful things (sexist, racist, homophobic, and antisemetic) if they think they're anonymous. So many people are trying to get this replaced by a moderated alternative.

Paper is worth a read to drop your jaw at the terribleness of either angle. Or both.

If you haven't heard the latest big news yet, thanks to tremendous efforts of @avivace and @exelotl both @gbdev and @gbadev Mastodon accounts have been moved to a brand new dedicated instance @ fedi.gbdev.io!

Unfortunately, unlike for GBDev account, we weren't able to successfully transfer GBADev account's follower list during migration, so while we're still sorting things out, feel free to spread the word about our move in the meantime!

Regular reminder: if your site or app doesn’t work in Firefox, it’s broken.

I lived through the “this site requires and/or is best in IE” era, and I’d rather burn it all down than return to that.

Pro-tip: Firefox does most things better anyway. Give it a spin and enjoy a less-tracked web.
