> "Bluefin is a developer experience for GNOME" and wanted to add it here. That sounds awesome to me. We just become a turbo button for GNOME OS and then we'll be done!"

I would go further and say it is a cloud native extension of gnome os

@gamingonlinux we're going to be announcing dates for @LAS soon. We would love to get some talks on gaming - would be great to reach out to game devs to put in a talk and talk about Linux and gaming and their experiences. Maybe even think of panel ideas etc.

Working on a big update for Death by Scrolling. I miss releasing a game in 80s where it shipped and you stopped working on it.

@grumpygamer Read an article that you were featured in. I honestly feel bad by how game publishers are.

Nothing brings out more school spirit than an entire Psych 210 class hunting down a Nazi.

Context: dude barged in to a Psych 210 class on Udub campus throwing up Nazi salutes and screaming "heil Hitler" and calling the entire class "degenerate filth" and "faggots". Psych 210 class does not play. Nazi is hunted down, taunted, and arrested.

@wortezimmer @Lana It doesn't. Only that she was a figure of authority is all.

Every movement built around a single man faces the same question: what happens when he’s gone? And now with Trump visibly unraveling, many are asking what the MAGA succession plan looks like. While JD Vance hopes to be Trump's heir, he simply doesn’t inspire the same blind devotion. What follows could either end MAGA or transform it into something far more dangerous. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/after-trump-gone-vance-maga

@georgetakei I think they are going to be heavily invested in burning it all down.

I guess Sept 2nd is as close to an anniversary we have for Monkey Island. I made the gold master on the 2nd but it probably didn't appear in stores until Oct. There was no "release date" back them. It annoys we when people say Monkey Island "released" today.

Four floppy disks for Monkey Island with the date of 9/2/90 on them.

There is now a rich capitalists compound protected by moot in Death by Scrolling. They have a ranged weapon call "greed" that takes gold from you. If you manage to kill them they drop 1000 gold bags.

Not wrong. Of course, we are now buying records again. 😉

& Dad Jokes @Dadsaysjokes If anybody wants to know why Gen X is always mad, it's because we had to replace our record collections with a tape collection that we had to replace with a CD collection that we had to replace with an MP3 collection, and now we need a subscription to listen to music.

🤡 Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure 'citizens will be on their best behavior'. Oh, this is like 1984, but it gets worse for all of us and even nobel goals for billionaire psychopaths.
