モバイルゲーム……というかガチャに依存しているゲームの運営は大変というnoteを読んだ。なかなかの情報量で読ませる内容だったけど、私自身、ほぼ全くモバイルゲームをやらないので体験としてはわからないことの多い記事だった（経営と開発の温度はわかる……）。
長く遊ばれるゲームを私はよく遊んでいる。そんな中でもノーマンズスカイはちょっと特別だ。売り切りのはずなのに――というかぼくは一度しかお金を払っていないのに、ゲームの体験が何割も増えるようなアップデートと季節ごとのイベントが実施されていて、クリア後も飽きずに、新しくなるノーマンズスカイを遊び続けている。いったいどうやって開発費を捻出してるのかわからない。パーマネントな開発者はごく一部で、アップデートのたびに人を雇っているらしいけど、それでこのボリュームのゲームが維持できるのはちょっと想像できる枠を超えている。
同じことは、イベントとガチャ駆動のモバイルゲームにはできないよねえ……。

米政府効率化省「もう存在せず」と政権当局者、任期8カ月残し解散

トランプ米大統領と実業家イーロン・マスク氏が主導した「政府効率化省（ＤＯＧＥ）」が任期を８カ月残して解散したことが分かった。ＤＯＧＥは政府規模を削減するというトランプ氏の公約の象徴として華々しく発足したものの、批評家は測定可能な削減効果はほとんどなかったと指摘している。

I've said again and again that I consider it to be of the utmost importance that the grows far beyond its present size. My reasoning is thus:

All major commercial social media platforms are either owned by , or by people who are only too happy to bend their knees to the fascists for the sake of profits - and thus are also fascists for all moral accounting purposes.

And they have used the power of these social media platforms to heavily promote fascists, or opened the door for fascists to promote their agenda. The resurgence of fascism we are seeing in the world these days was largely done with the aid of social media - outrage farming is an _extremly_ effective tactic for promoting fascism, especially when the social media algorithms actively support you.

I think we can all agree that fighting fascism is important (and if you _don't_ agree, go away - I don't want to talk to you). Thus, we need to attack the mechanisms that allow fascism to grow - i.e. commercial social media.

Now, maybe there is a future where we won't have any kind of online social media, but barring a complete collapse of civilization I am not seeing it - humans are a communicative species, and have always used the latest technology for that purpose. Thus, I don't see the concept of "social media" by itself to go away any time soon.

But replacing _commercial_ social media seems much more achievable - after all, the problem is , not itself. Thus, we need to grow _noncommercial_ social media until can replace corporate social media. And as far as I can see, the Fediverse is the most viable noncommercial alternative out there.

The main objectiion to "growing the Fediverse" that I have heard is this:

", , and the others are full of assholes. If the Fediverse grows as big as they are, all the assholes will come here as well!"

And I can understand that fear. We need to be careful about _how_ we grow the Fediverse, and there is much work to be done. Our moderation tools, for instance, could be much better than they are (just ask ...). However, of all the social media systems out there, the Fediverse alone actually has the potential to develop _better_ moderation in the long run - while commercial social media platforms see good moderation as _hostile_ to their business models (as recent revelations about have shown). Thus, fear of failure should not stop us from making the attempt.

Furthermore, while the (algorithm-boosted) fascists might be the loudest people on commercial social media right now, I believe that the majority of people using social media in the modern world are _not_ assholes, and we want to encourage these not-assholes to come to the Fediverse in large number. Or do you really think that the (predominantly white and European/North American) Fediverse bubble represents the only not-asshole group left on the planet?

And consider the stakes. Not only will the fascists become increasingly violent towards marginalized groups of people, they are actively hostile to any efforts to fight threats to Earth as a whole - first among them. We need to wrestle the microphone from them before they doom us all, and that means wrestling social media away from them - but we cannot do that without replacing commercial social media with non-commercial social media.

At least, that's what I think. If you have any better plans to fight the social media power of fascists, feel free to share them!

Something Fediverse related that I am working on —

Toddlerverse

Basically, what I have been thinking about is —

What would take to make areas of the Fediverse geared towards toddlers.

(The document I am writing is still a work in progress.)

(I am a parent of young children, so I have first-hand experience with kids usage of online media, including social-media.)

Imagine an online world designed for your toddler — not to sell to them, or track them, or overstimulate them — but to help them grow. One that puts parents in control. The Toddlerverse is a safe, gentle, ad-free digital space inspired by the calm, educational approach of Mr. Rogers and Ms. Rachel. It gives your child access to simple, developmentally appropriate videos, songs, and activities — without autoplay traps, noisy algorithms, or surprise content. You (the parent) stay in control of what your toddler sees, and everything is built around real early-childhood learning science The Toddlerverse isn't about more screen time; it's about better screen time. It is a place where your toddler can explore safely, learn at their own pace, and experience the kind and thoughtful media every parent wishes existed online The Toddlerverse is not a business, and it is not driven by profit. Its purpose is far greater: to create a lasting resource for parents, families, caregivers, and communities that nurtures the growth and development of young children. Every video, story, and activity is designed to serve the public good, freely accessible and shareable, so that parents everywhere can support their toddlers' learning and curiosity The Toddlerverse is built with the future in mind—a cultural and educational commons that can be used, adapted, and enjoyed for generations, leaving a legacy of knowledge, creativity, and care that will benefit children and families long into the future

전북 군산시의회 의장이 관용차를 놔두고 한 달에 110만원을 들여 렌터카를 이용하는 것으로 드러나 논란이 일고 있다. 24일 참여자치군산시민연대가 낸 논평을 보면, 김우민 군산시의회 의장은 지난 2023년 8700만원을 들여 전 의장이 구매한 관용 전기차 대신 지난 5

Is it superstition if it’s true?

A story about a time-traveling, game-breaking Half-Life 2 door bug is as good a reminder as any that programming is neither an art, nor a science, but one of the deep magicks.

Sly Mr. Fox:

This kind of thing is why good programmers are paranoid and superstitious.

Get the day’s best comment and more in my free newsletter, The Verge Daily.

Screenshot 2025-11-22 at 4.40.19 PM

A glitchy door traveled back in time to break Half Life 2.

Doors are a weird and notoriously tough nut to crack for game devs. Tom Forsyth, formerly of Valve, shared a story about how he discovered a game-breaking bug less than five minutes into Half Life 2 while building a VR port in 2013. The crazy part was that the bug persisted even when they built the original source for the desktop, instead of VR. It’s a wild tale of math, CPU instruction sets, and game physics.

We stopped roadmap work for a week and fixed bugs

Link: lalitm.com/fixits-are-good-for
Discussion: news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4

We stopped roadmap work for a week and fixed 189 bugs

It’s Friday at 4pm. I’ve just closed my 12th bug of the week. My brain is completely fried. And I’m staring at the bug leaderboard, genuinely sad that Monday means going back to regular work. Which is weird because I love regular work. But fixit weeks have a special place in my heart. What’s a fixit, you ask? Once a quarter, my org with ~45 software engineers stops all regular work for a week. That means no roadmap work, no design work, no meetings or standups. Instead, we fix the small things that have been annoying us and our users: an error message that’s been unclear for two years a weird glitch when the user scrolls and zooms at the same time a test which runs slower than it should, slowing down CI for everyone The rules are simple: 1) no bug should take over 2 days and 2) all work should focus on either small end-user bugs/features or developer productivity.
