We could be two years away from nearly solving homelessness outright at any time
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

i'd obviously prefer the former, but my current reality as a studio head is that i have to be extremely precise with the limited budget i have and focus on making a game that has the best possible shot of being a successful Product, because otherwise i can't keep paying people and the studio dies.

while i'm posting, my hot take is that if you want the games industry to exist, but also get mad when games are products, you need to re-evaluate your world view. yes, capitalism sucks. we either need people to be able to make art with no risk or we need game studios to function as businesses.

Every trans selfie you see here is the technology not being used for its original purpose: weird dudes grifting each other for fake money and posting bullet point summaries of 100 page self help books and arguing about age of consent laws.

Bluesky was literally meant to be a cryptobro social network for grifters, LinkedIn sludge, and libertarians who know way too much about age of consent laws.

Can you think of examples where people use technologies differently from what the developers intended, whether unintentionally or as an act of resistance?

If you live in the US, call your fucking representatives and tell them that repealing Section 230 is a horrible idea. If Section 230 is gone, you can kiss Bluesky goodbye.
Reminder that they're still trying to repeal section 230 (thereby making platform holders like bsky legally responsible for content posted by their users etc etc)
There is still a need for you to blow up your rep's phones on this if you enjoy being able to do things like "post" or "have an porn"

The article doesnt actually mention them "distancing" themselves from Palantir, only that prompts to give your ID to Persona were "a test, which has concluded"

Sort of gives away the lie that they're arresting hardened criminals who are drags on society when they're setting up traps to lure in Good Samaritans
CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

in 2027 they made drawing a cartoon arse illegal. my open-mouthed face stolen from a discord ID check appeared on everyone's screens with ARSE PREDATOR written under it. I was arrested in 0.5 seconds because an AI smelled me buying a microwave burger and followed me home through nest cameras
