Clearly we need an Isekai where the protagonist is turned into a floppy disk.

Protests continued today outside Take Two's offices in London, but also in Paris, where Le Syndicat des Travailleureuses du Jeu Vidéo (@stjv.fr) came out to show their international solidarity with the fired Rockstar workers.
STJV demonstrate outside the Paris offices of Take Two, holding flags, banners and flares.

Off-brand Blåhaj at Lidl!
A photo of a bunch of plushies, including a turtle and a shark. There is a price poster saying 149 SEK A closeup on the tag attached to the shark, the brand name is lupilu and the tag says "Soft toy shark. Large, soft and cuddly plush animal". There's also like a potato with a face, arms and legs, farting.

I'm confused about people discussing if HL3 is or isn't a thing, has no one finished Half-Life: Alyx?
A screenshot from HL: Alyx with Eli handing Gordon a crowbar and saying "Come on, Gordon. We've got work to do."

Solder Party’s KeebDeck is a cheap, open source 69-key thumb keyboard
A few years ago Solder Party started selling tiny USB keyboards made by combining an actual BlackBerry keyboard (ripped from an old device) with a custom PCB and USB-C connector. But since BlackBerry is out of business, eventually it's going to get harder to find devices to cannibalize for their keyboards. So Solder Party has now introduced two brand new products.

Here's some totally random advice, not inspired by real-life events at all: make sure your testing procedure includes the verification of power rail levels 😬

Solder Party officially launched the KeebDeck, a compact keyboard designed for space-constrained projects — and a ready-to-run variant with USB connectivity, the KeebDeck Basic.

Building on the company's upcycled BB Q10/Q20 keyboards, the KeebDeck is a squishy alphanumeric keyboard for space-constrained projects.

A silly idea that turned out well! Most flex PCBs are cut by laser, not milled, so you can make perforations by adding incomplete edge cuts. These disks are for cleanly joining LED strips at different angles and different radii, and they break apart with just my fingers, no other tools.
A flex PCB with concentric copper rings and perforations so it can be torn into smaller arcs and wedges. The same flex PCB with one quarter of it torn out and turned into three curved connector pieces of different radii. The remaining board has a silkscreen that says "Do it [...] coward" in Jokerman font.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.

That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

OVER A MILLION USERS

DISCUSS SUICIDE WITH CHATGPT

EVERY *WEEK*

what the fuck are we DOING here
ryanmarino.bsky.social Ryan Marino, MD @ryanmarino.bsky.social · 9d
Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.
jonathancohn.bsky.social Jonathan Cohn @jonathancohn.bsky.social · 10d
I fully believe in the corporate death penalty and believe we would be a better world if OpenAI lost its corporate charter and was forcibly dissolved.

A photo of the KeebDeck Keyboard keypad and dome sheet. The dome sheet has many domes visible through the white plastic, and 8 black pieces of tape to cover where the backlight LEDs would be. The Keyboard has 69 keys with the usual PC layout, and a few extra ones color symbols and colors. A photo of a device composed of two PCBs sandwiched together with a silicone keypad in the middle and poking through the front PCB. The keypad has an ortho layout with most keys of a PC keyboard. It also has some extra colorful macro keys at the top. There is a Solder Party logo on the Meta key as well as in the middle of the top row. The silkscreen reads "KeebDeck Basic, arturo182, Solder Party". The two PCBs are held together by four Phillips-head screws.
