I’ve really wanted to boost/promote our Kickstarter more this weekend but with the shooting in MN and the winter storm it just didn’t feel right.

I’m doing it now because time is waining and so much is on the line. Even if you don’t play iOS/casual games please consider backing the project/spreading the word. One of its goals is to stay in business. Thx for your support and understanding. 🖖

Alex Pretti was his name.

37 year old, US Citizen, ICU nurse employed by the VA.

No criminal record.

Had a valid permit to carry a gun.

This could literally happen to any single one of us if we do things that arbitrarily cross a line that angers a particular goon on a particular day.

It has to stop.

Once again you all floor me with your support and generosity. Out Kickstarter crossed the initial funding like a little bit ago. Really hoping we can reach at least 1 stretch goal too, hopefully more. I have some fun game ideas… 😏

Thank you!!!

Well here we go! Lots of people have asked “Where can I play Frenzic?” since Overtime left Apple Arcade. Hopefully, with your support, we’ll be able to offer a fun new way to play Frenzic plus other great new retro-styled games. 👾🕹️

Hope you’ll join us, keep us in business and help make our little corner of the universe better for everyone. Thx!

Jeff Bezos is saying the quiet part out loud. They want to kill local computing.

You will own nothing and be happy. You will rent your computing power from the cloud. You pay a subscription for the privilege of using a computer.

AI demand is artificially spiking DRAM prices and Big Tech is pushing "AI PCs," the squeeze is on to force us into a rental model.

Reject this future.  

Keep your hardware local.

Run #Linux 

Own your data.

The "cloud" is just a landlord for your data.

Jeff Bezos said the quiet part out loud — hopes that you'll give up your PC to rent one from the cloud

Amazon's Jeff Bezos once revealed how he thinks of local PC hardware as antiquated, ready to be replaced by cloud options. Will DRAM prices make it come true?

Had a great idea for a quick app I could build using Spotify's API, only to find that since I last worked with it they'll only grant access to apps that are already launched and have >250K MAUs.

In other words, they no longer want indies building apps to enrich their platform.

Fuck you Spotify and your enshittification, hope the ICE recruitment ads were worth it

There is a petition on the UK Parliament website to legally recognise nonbinary as a gender – which would include an X marker on UK passports for nonbinary people.

The deadline to sign is March 2026 and at the time of writing only 213 people have signed.

Let's show them the power of the Fediverse. At 100,000 signatures, the petition will be debated in Parliament.

Petition: Legally recognise non-binary as a gender

Non-binary isn’t a legally recognised gender in the UK. We urge the Government to legally recognise non-binary as a gender and people who identify as non-binary in the UK. This proposal would include an X marker on UK passports for non-binary people.

I hate Trump & MAGA for lots of reasons but one of the biggest is how they make me feel guilty for concerning myself with my own stupid problems.

How can I possibly complain online about my work
day when a woman in MN just needlessly lost her life at the hands of his ICE goons? What right do I have to gripe about mineuta like my recent LEGO challenges when Venezuela is invaded, Greenland becomes an authoritarian pawn & NATO is threatened?

There’s no escaping. No normal. I hate him so much.

To the support email on one of my apps…
