I would say the software industry’s long running undercurrent of libertarianism and anti-worker/anti-collective action is a bigger deterrent to co-ops not forming there.

Some states will tell you just about everything about a voter with only their name and birthdate. Not that far feteched

GameCenter is back again, let’s goooo

The finance system is sketchy enough, Fintech gives me the willies.

Oh thank God, you were joking. Please don’t scare me like that 😭

Daen’s Kitchen: “That’s cute”

The aesthetics are amazing. Too bad it’s gacha

Gaming companies need to put way more focus into accessibility. I’m going to be grinding through my backlog until I have a foot in the ground, and I’m not gonna have lightning quick reflexes forever (and apparently, neither do a good quarter of PC gamers).

I wonder if Lemmy will be any more Normal about dogs than snoosite was

Update: prognosis is not looking good
