  • Voices of the Void (VotV) is an early-access indie horror simulation video game. The player controls a scientist tasked with operating an observatory that detects radio signals from space. As time passes, the player experiences unusual events, such as encounters with extraterrestrial life.

    Aliens making prank calls and throwing a flaming bag of poop at your doorstep, probably.









  • From the link

    This series is constructed as the aggregated daily amount value of the RP transactions reported by the New York Fed as part of the Temporary Open Market Operations.

    Temporary open market operations involve short-term repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements that are designed to temporarily add or drain reserves available to the banking system and influence day-to-day trading in the federal funds market.

    A repurchase agreement (known as repo or RP) is a transaction in which the New York Fed under the authorization and direction of the Federal Open Maker Committee buys a security from an eligible counterparty under an agreement to resell that security in the future. For these transactions, eligible securities are U.S. Treasury instruments, federal agency debt and the mortgage-backed securities issued or fully guaranteed by federal agencies.

    As per my understanding, banks ran out of cash to loan so the feds gave them some with the theoretical agreement that the banks will pay them back later.




  • We’re not the ones commiting the horrors of the world, nor are we the ones able to stop them. It’s not our job, duty or obligation to be confronted by them at all times, in all aspects of our lives.

    Using it as an analogy, how does going to a bunch of kids who can barely take care of themselves and asking them to save the world actually help?

    The people on fediverse already know about the horrors, most are against the horrors and are trying to help. They don’t need more requests or more prodding with a stick. They need more thanks for standing up instead, if anything.

    The target audience is the wide world beyond this place. The ones that can help but don’t. The ones in charge or the ones putting them in charge.

    A successful social interaction requires selecting the right audience and the correct circumstances. And a lot of the communities here ain’t either.
