Roblox has now decided it does not give a shit about the good thing it's done for a year by quietly giving absolutely zero data how well their moderation team has done in some key areas

You know it’s a great start to a Monday when you’re woken up at 5am by some house alarms going off and you can’t quite get back to sleep

Now that's awesome, you can now exploit your own place to test anti exploits

Big congrats to all of the team behind Grow a Garden for hitting a massive 8.373 million CCU

For some context, this is 2.57x the peak CCU of PUBG back in 2018 when it launched, the highest CCU in Steam records.

Now that is the power of #Roblox

Can confirm I'm still alive, it's nice to be doing other things

At the same time, it's fun to see what has changed in the Roblox space; so I visited Twitter for the first time in 6 months, turns out very little has changed. Too many people are still there, what will it take? No idea

You know, Roblox should absolutely make this a gift item. That or I make it myself

That's pretty awesome, players can now give feedback directly.

Thanks Roblox

I will say it's great to see RDC announced with plenty of time.

But I don't know about it being a 2 day affair again. It just feels too short, and I'm happy the replies say that.

With the current state of the US? Doubt I'll want to travel

Sadly I don't get the joy of ordering Girl Scout cookies from here in the UK.

But if you do and you're from the US, here's a list of 100 Girl Scounts you should totally order from

The clock has reset, even though 2024 might not have been your year you're still here and that's great.

Let's make the most of it, even if with the small wins.

In a related affair, it’s been fun to run Coolify locally, to self host some tools like a GitHub alternative and a Google Photos alternative.

I’m not entirely sure if I prefer it over Proxmox but I think it has a place in my infra. Just about finding the right tool for the right project

Roses are red, violets are blue. Your service is cancelled, due to a lack of train crew.

Whenever my feed gets quiet, it does make me wonder if it’s quiet because

A. folks not got a reason to post (entirely valid) or
B. They’ve returned back to Twitter

The fun part is that with B, I can’t tell because I’ve blocked Twitter on my network, it is a bit frustrating if they do go back

Thank you Roblox. Very cool

That's actually a decent response to the backlash, I'm happy Roblox took the feedback on board. Ignoring the fact that the order of everything is still off, it at least feels clearer as a message

Welcome to Rail tries to communicate the obvious again

I have a feeling the PM behind the new parental control features have tried to push this so down our throats and hope it'll work.

It's not and Roblox is paying for it.

Would you like to convert your old Tweets into Markdown?

I've created a script to do exactly that, designed first for Jekyll but designed to easily adapt to what you need

A fun update to The Archive coming very soon.

As part of my cleaning up of Twitter, it's important that the things I've said continues to exist in some form. All 4.6k posts will be available in an easily searchable way
