Very happy to say that I'm looking to get back into broadcast full-time, and maybe even go outside next year. Hit me if you're looking for mograph/data<>gfx pipes/vmix devops/remote+onsite direction. Esports is cool but other things are also cool. #b3d #mograph #vmix
The data on cannabis use in young people (age 12-18) leading to schizophrenia and psychosis later in life even after cessation of cannabis use, are striking, concerning & lend balance to the idea that cannabis is harmless or better b/c it is “safer than alcohol”.

Unfortunate that upstream glibc discussion on DT_HASH isn't coming out strongly in favor of prioritizing compatibility with pre-existing applications. Every such instance contributes to damaging the idea of desktop Linux as a viable target for third-party developers.

Great news: Everyone who currently has a reservation can get their Steam Deck by the end of this year! We’ve cleared up supply chain issues, a bunch of folks got moved up to Q3, and all other reservations are now in Q4. More details here: store.steampowered.com/news/…

There is so much great open source graphics tech powering Steam Deck. Just to name a few: mesa (RADV+radeonsi), dxvk, vkd3d-proton, gpuvis, fossilize, RenderDoc. All the many contributors should be very proud!

So, starting today we are reviewing if and how our current policy on crypto donations fits with our climate goals. And as we conduct our review, we will pause the ability to donate cryptocurrency. 3/4

Some great behind the scenes images from the production of Airwolf were sent to me by the son of A. Mac Queen who was one of the stunt pilots on the show. Here Mac Queen and another on the crew are troubleshooting something on celeb chopper while in hover.

People are out here saying that I wrote a book predicting that we will carry our prejudices, power structures, self-interest, and exploitation into a new virtual world. That wasn't a prediction, it's what already happened.

But the field is called computer security; not computer optimism. We think about worst case outcomes because if we don’t do that, our opponents absolutely will. 8/
