Valve refresh Steam's monthly top-releases charts, going all the way back to the release of Half-Life 2

The crazy coders at Valve had been making the monthly top lists manually this whole time, but no more. They've given their monthly top-releases charts a fresh makeover and you can scroll all the way back to the release of Half-Life 2.

Incredible (but predictable) : #Microsoft has blocked the International Criminal Court's access (#ICC) to its services on the orders of the #Trump mafia.

Read that carefully : an international organisation that has no presence in the United States and no US legal rights has had its work tools blocked simply because it disagrees with the Trump administration. 🚩

Get the hell out of it right now.

If any Mastodon instances are having trouble with their costs growing out of control, ping me and see if I can help lower your bill.

Apparently a recently closed instance was paying $300/month for hosting which is insane to read considering how small of an instance it was. When we had 40k monthly users I was paying about $120/month so an instance with less than 400 total users (not MAU) should be super cheap to run even with a few TB of storage and bandwidth.

It hurts my heart to read instances closing down over costs and finding out they’re paying more than instances 10x their size. 😢

This article made me angry for days when I was copyediting it. But I couldn’t talk about it because it hadn’t been published yet. Now I can. And it’s open-access so you can all read it.

Global health institutions allowed COVID-19 vaccinations to be locked up by patents. Moderna showed they could transfer their manufacturing methodologies to factories in places like South Africa. But those factories were forced to send doses to Europe and North America, while most Africans did not get COVID vaccinations.

There is a different model of medication manufacturing and distribution that is used with AUDS retrovirals for equitable distribution. It could have been used for COVID vaccines. But it wasn’t.And the same thing is now happening with Mpox.

I am honored to share that I’ve been nominated for an Emmy as host of PBS’s Serving Up Science - a series funded by the National Science Foundation.

This recognition is a testament to what federal science funding & public media can achieve when we invest in #science, education & evidence-based storytelling.

And it’s a reminder that curiosity matters & there is value in making science understandable & available to all.

If this resonates with you, I hope you’ll support science agencies & PBS.

Denuvo will lock you out of games on Linux, SteamOS, Steam Deck if you keep changing Proton versions

Although for some of us this is a well-known problem, it has appeared again with the release of DOOM: The Dark Ages so it's worth a quick PSA to remind people about Denuvo activation limits with Proton on Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck.
