A person stands in the foreground at an indoor event. They wear a white robe with purple and teal accents, black leather sleeves, and a teal sash. The robe has green trim at the hem. They have long black hair with some strands falling over the shoulders. There is a glowing green orb apparently floating between their hands, and additional similar orbs are visible in a belt pouch. The background shows a busy room with blurred people, red walls, and overhead lighting. The scene suggests a convention or gathering.

Piracy Just Won a $1 Billion Case (Sony v. Cox)


Sony thought it won $1 Billion from ISPs for users' copyright infringement. Instead, the Supreme Court just handed down the most upsetting 7-2 Opinion Hollywood and the Music Labels have ever seen.


The Amusing Thing is that a previous case where Sony was the Defender was used as part of the Defense of Cox from Sony's Claim.

I've been finding a lot of instances of this kind of energy since we talked about this.

When I was writing and producing theatre there were times when I needed lots of alone time in order to do the writing and planning. Then, I needed to be out and about with auditioning, working with set designers and crew, rehearsals, marketing, etc etc... To be honest I loved the ebb and flow aspect of the job.

A Love Letter To 'Girl Games'


Rachel Weil is the founder of FEMICOM Museum, a digital and physical archive that preserves and celebrates games targeted toward a young female audience. Weil founded FEMICOM Museum to bridge the gendered gap in games preservation. Weil tells me, “If historic girl games are lost, if they go unpreserved, how could any game developer draw inspiration from them the way they do from series like Super Mario Bros. and Metroid?”

re: hci.social/@chrisamaphone/1163…

taking off my "impartial observer" hat for a moment (and so breaking out of the thread), one opinion i've started solidifying is that we need stable (or one might say "archival") proof languages, alongside those that actively evolve. a big motivation for me is to develop teaching materials that still run in a decade (Explaining), but i think there are good Convincing-aligned reasons to want this as well.

arguably we should also want archival programming languages more generally. sometimes, a language whose features cease to evolve is called "dead". but perhaps we should reserve "dead" for languages whose programs no longer run, and use "archival" for those whose implementations are maintained while their feature sets remain stable (thx @simrob for planting this lexical seed in my head)
