I was speaking ill of him before he died, so it seems silly to change course now.

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. paypal.me/rcgordon

Pay Ryan Gordon using PayPal.Me

Go to paypal.me/rcgordon and type in the amount. Since it’s PayPal, it's easy and secure. Don’t have a PayPal account? No worries.

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!

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.
