Introduce yourself with 4 games.
These things are always hard but I think this gets across broadly what I'm like.

CNN: Would you ever use subpoena power to try to find out more info about Epstein?
JASON SMITH: That's not a common thing I've utilized within the Ways and Means Committee
CNN: But you did use subpoena power with Hunter Biden
JASON SMITH: That was the only time I used it

The lack of algorithm on Bluesky tells me that we were fools to accept it elsewhere. We all now talk about how Musk uses it to suppress dissent on twitter, but he hardly invented it. Letting someone else set parameters for what you see is maybe the most poisonous thing that social media normalised.

AI has always promised to help people spend more time doing valuable work by automating the manual, repetitive, toilsome tasks so that software developers can be free to use their time on "something better".
That's not what's happening.

The promise that wasn’t kept
AI is distracting us from creating real value. While we chase speed and automation, meaningful and human-centered work is getting left behind. Is this progress?

So apparently Sweden just passed banning the purchase of online sex services (OF, Cams, etc)
I know these issues are complex but handicapping some of the safest avenues of sex work does not sound like it protects women / sex workers to me.

This is extremely disappointing. I'm not a guy who does a lot of video sharing but it's sometimes cool to record 15 minutes fighting a tough boss, like in Elden Ring.
30 seconds is bad comedy.

Videos recorded by the Capture button are still 30 seconds long.
(No word on if the quality is better, though. The Switch 1 recorded videos at 720p @ 30fps.)

Stop trying to be successful.
Stop caring about what other people think about you.
Just live one day at a time in a way that makes you feel content.
