Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today.

Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943.

Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s.

Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

my hottest gaming take is that every game that has enemies should also have a beastiary that you can peruse at your leisure

Every “free” file converter online = your files sent to some random server.

So I made my own. Runs locally as an app on Mac, Windows and Linux.

Now 1,100 users use it for 3,742 types of conversions.

paid this semester's college fees worth of about $450 (hopefully the last one). i could use a bit of financial help, so there's always the tip jar to get me out of this pit. i'm jobless and i'm not planning to open a patreon anytime soon so this is kind of a temporary solution

we are going to need to keep up this 'yelling at payment processors' energy for more than just today

Ideally, we will need to keep up this pressure over a span of a few weeks

As many people as possible, each making 2-4 calls a day, for a few weeks, is going to make the biggest impact

Don't doom scroll.
Put down your phone and sleep as best you can.
Get up when you're supposed to and don't skimp on breakfast.
What you have control of right now is you.
Start there.
Maintain that.
Be good to yourselves.
Be good to each other.

It's been debunked, valve confirmed they don't even use the company that is said to be hacked (a SMS 2FA company) and the source of it all is an AI company's LinkedIn post that itself looks AI made itself

I mean, $5000 for 89 MILLION steam accounts? Come on.

Just have Steam Guard and you're good.

GOOD NEWS! Moderna’s combination COVID/influenza vaccine candidate mRNA-1083 has OUTPERFORMED the current standalone vaccines for BOTH viruses in a large (8000+) Phase III trial. A combination vaccine would make it easier for people to get vaccinated against COVID and influenza at the same time. 🧪🧵⬇️
