one of the most tedious stellaris wins. they love to add new mechanics that are just "wait 10 years for a timer to count down so you can wait 50 years for a timer to count down"

incidentally watching a fake medieval movie tonight, and thinking about how the way the Catholic Church is used in movies and TV is very similar to how games just make up fantasy religions

Imagine if just by refusing to comment, you could stop any story from running. You would literally never find out anything unflattering about anybody. It amounts to asking people for their blessing to publish your reporting about them.

Strong 2nd to this, and I would just add that the modern world is much more dependent on extremely accurate and precise timekeeping then most people realize (all cell networks require it, most using gps disciplined oscillators)
NIST's time services going down is less about "oh no things are going to break" (we are very resilient to muti-second drift even if people didn't have backups like GPS) and more about "oh no this is a crucial service we are being reminded has multiple underfunded and vulnerable chokepoints"

there is a perfect hyperdimensional jewel made of every word a human being has ever written, and all the correspondences between those words. people mostly use it to get insane household repair tips or jerk off. i guess it basically runs the government now

Thinking about atproto login flow and I’m leaning towards the following:
1. No technical jargon, let the infrastructure fade into the background.
2. Identity is contextual, use language that reflects intent (writing as, reading as, etc).
3. Bring an identity or start a new one.
Thoughts?

no matter tho, we as designers/developers cannot get around the fact that we’re gonna have to specify *somewhere* on our sign in pages that either 1) it’s atproto/atmosphere based or 2) it’s bluesky
anything else is too confusing or ambiguous at the present moment
maybe years from now that changes

so glad to see the dumbest fucking idea in my entire profession — which every serious practitioner has been sneering at since it was first raised while championed only by bloviating armchair operators — is coming to pass.
