PSA: Don't watch the Destiny Lightfall trailer that was released today, nor the PlayStation State of Play February 2023 video also released today (shows the Lightfall trailer).

It's way too spoilery. It upsets me that Bungie does this with their marketing. I need to learn to hide from all Bungie marketing before an expansion release. 😅

My Space Engineers Destiny Darkness Pyramid (Named Nezarec) had its maiden voyage into space tonight. It’s so ominous! It’s underpowered for atmos and gravity flight but is good enough for space. Engines are at a minimum to focus on the spooky interior aesthetic.

Once I finish the interior I’ll record a tour and put it up on Youtube.

A HS student to their TX school board, which is banning books:

“I’m not going to sit here and talk about the slippery slope that book banning leads to because I learned from a book, that I checked out from my school’s library, that I don’t need to resort to logical fallacy to make a point. I’m simply going to say that no government – and public school is an extension of government – has ever banned books, and banned information from its public, and been remembered in history as the good guys.”

Internet services owned by billionaires:

1. Twitter
2. Facebook
3. Instagram
4. TikTok
5. Snapchat

Internet services not owned by billionaires:

1. Email
2. IRC
3. BitTorrent
4. RSS
5. HTTP

So don’t tell me that walled gardens are inevitable and we should just accept surveillance capitalism as the price of doing business.

Know what the absence of racism would look like for Black folks?

Ordinary-ness.

Just life.
Ordinary life.

I think we deserve that.

Don't you?

For Black History Month. This guy is Absalom Jones, the founder of the first black Episcopal congregation in the United States. He also founded the Free African Society, a benevolent association to aid freed slaves.

Just a warning, I am immediately blocking, and sometimes server blocking on, "stop posting about politics if you're a insert profession here" takes. Technology is politics. Education is politics. Security is politics. The people who work in these fields, and more, are intimately impacted by politics. Some peoples' lives, families, and livelihoods are in danger. It's all politics, stop content and tone policing if you're one of the few people who's currently insanely fortunate to be relatively unimpacted. It's asinine.

The progress bar in the software isn’t lying. When it says there are “11 minutes remaining” it means just that. Just ‘cuz you don’t know the “until what” isn’t the progress bar’s problem. Maybe there are 11 minutes remaining until the next 20 minutes. You don’t know. Why you gotta get mad and gaslight the progress bar into doubting its own progress?
