"average indie game dev gets an IGF nomination" factoid actually just statistical error. AP Thomson, who lives in a cave and got 9 nominations over two years, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

The worst part of web apps on the desktop is this constant need to sign-in. I already sign in to win11, my drive is using bitlock, I'm ok with my music player storing my credentials forever on disk.
