Are the straights okay rule
I'm so glad younger people are largely abandoning the "wife bad" garbage. Maybe it's not so bad to, you know, openly enjoy being with someone you love without having to make a joke about it.

A Georgia woman has died after an abortion ban delayed lifesaving care
A lot of pro-birth people argue "obviously things are different if the mother's life is in danger", but that ignores that there's often nothing obvious or definite about the line between "safe" and dangerous. Doctors are erring on the side of caution to avoid potential lawsuits and even jail time, and this is the result. People bleeding out in parking lots, suffering irreversible damage to their body, and people dying.

What comes to mind?
OpenOffice was a really solid Microsoft Office rival, and FOSS to boot. Made by Sun Microsystems, of course, and then ruined by Oracle (of course).
Thankfully LibreOffice was forked from it and is still going strong as a very capable suite of document tools. And OpenOffice is basically dead, womp womp.

‘No Way To Prevent This,’ Says Only Nation Where This Regularly Happens
It's "funny" that there's conspiracy theories that these are all liberal psyops to force gun control. Surely the deep state would realize by now that no amount of dead children will change people's minds.

I thought it was satire, before I look to the source.
I mean... yeah this clearly sucks ass, but as a silver lining, maybe it'll rebuild interest in nuclear.

Honestly, props on figuring out how bondage would work on a snake.

I hate the rich
The most heinous thing is lack of required sick time. And who is it that's least likely to get paid sick time? Customer service, of course, the ones coughing and sneezing all over your clothes and food.

All employees of Annapurna Interactive (Stray, Outer Wilds) resign en masse
We’re committed to not only our existing slate of games but also expanding our presence in the interactive space as we continue to look for opportunities to take a more integrated approach to linear and interactive storytelling across film and TV, gaming, and theatre.
Annapurna's no slouch when it comes to TV/Film publishing, but if I had to speculate, I'd say there was probably some friction between the film and game sides of things as far as goals and culture go. It's possible that the film side management was being a little too controlling of Interactive with all the Alan Wake and Control IP plans, leading to the request to split.
Annapurna Interactive has published some real bangers, especially when it comes to truly small team indie devs. If they do reform as a new company, hopefully they can pick up that legacy and bring more stuff to market.
Anyway, that's all to say.... go play Outer Wilds.

I love people with kids who are oblivious they're shitty parents.

Funnily enough, Steven Universe used this exact concept for some alien technology.

I've talked to my roommates about this, how we'd eat like a bowl of canned chili every day with a dollop of peanut butter as a treat.

I have all my monitors at maybe 10-20% brightness and still use dark mode for everything. It's the way of the cave dweller.

They seem so directionless lately, and by god is AI the wrong horse to bet on for their users.
I should check out LibreWolf...

The best Sims game turns 20 today, calling forth a wave of warm nostalgia in the face of the franchise's uncertain future

Paradox seemed like the ones to do it, what with publishing Cities Skylines, but unfortunately their life sim was canceled.
Paralives is still going strong in development, though, with a pretty constant stream of updates. Really hoping that one sees the light of day. They've already got a pretty impressive building system working, but they've got some big ambitions, particularly when it comes to adaptive interactions with character heights.

It is impressive how fast they release features

Python is slower than compiled languages, it's true, but it's still very fast. Bottlenecks are more likely to come from external connections to the frontend, other APIs, and database than from the server codebase itself.
