Just trying something.
Our Girl Scout cookie season is over, and we still have 85 boxes: 510 dollars worth of cookies.
If people PayPal me, I will give these cookies out to Charlotte nurses, Waffle House employees, and any other good ideas y'all have.

(once I hit 510 bucks, I'll let you know, and refund anything that goes over.)

It’s Friday! I’m gonna wrap this up today. I’m throwing in 100 bucks of my own, so I’m putting my money where someone else’s mouth is. :)
Last call, send a few bucks if you want to spread joy with me!

The SDL organization has an official position on LLMs and generative AI now: don't use it.

I really hope Sinners wins a thousand Academy Awards, so everyone decides Oscar-worthy films don’t have to ship in the last five minutes of the year from now on.

Oh wow, someone built a profiler for DragonRuby Game Toolkit: pvande.itch.io/firestarter
Super cool! I love the "please don't buy a commercial license until you make money" note, too.
But sorry, good sir: it's an instant buy over here even without a specific game in mind. :)

Holy shit, Vince Zampella died: nbclosangeles.com/news/local…
He brought me on to port the original Medal of Honor to Linux, as he was transitioning from 2015 to a new company named "Infinity Ward" that was working on...you know, just a little shooter game.

I worked on Call of Duty games all the way through Modern Warfare. I was always grateful that he took a chance on a weird Linux gaming nerd like me. It was interesting work that opened doors for me.

I honestly do not understand why there is an api for apps to access your contacts at all, and why modern iOS doesn’t just unconditionally deny apps that call -[CNContactStore requestAccess].
How are apps still doing this? Companies: stop asking users to upload their address books. And everyone else: refuse to upload your address book to random apps and social media platforms.
The contacts in your phone are not your data. It’s other people’s data.

Really? Me, top 16% of messages sent across _all of Discord_? I barely use the thing!
I take this as a sign that discord isn't nearly as popular as people think it is, and doesn't have to be considered inevitable.

I can talk about this publicly now: we're in a movie about Girl Scouts, that's premiering at Sundance! A film crew followed Olive around for cookie season.
If you find yourself in Park City, come watch me dance in a cookie costume. :)

Also, apologies to the thousands of people that asked "what's with the cameras?" at cookie booths that year. :)

Rest in peace, Tom Stoppard, you absolute fucking legend.
ALT PLAYER: They're hardly divisible, sir--well, I can do you blood and love without the rhetoric, and I can do you blood and rhetoric without the love, and I can do you all three concurrent or consecutive, but I can't do you love and rhetoric without the blood. Blood is compulsory--they're all blood, you see. GUIL: Is that what people want? PLAYER: It's what we do.
