Epic acquiring Bandcamp was never bound to end well (as almost all acquisitions go), but this is especially sad because Bandcamp is a nice product. It sounds that it got caught up in unrelated ugly things, and still has more ugly to wade through.
TANKHEAD is getting a “narrative artbook”, and here’s the trailer! If you don’t know about TANKHEAD, it’s easy: it’s WW2 but with giant mechs. Some of them are laser-gatling-wielding dinosaur robots. Good? Good.
Hey there, southern neighbours, I hope y’all are having a great Colonial Traitor Turkey Massacre Day! Have fun!

That’s a fun little AI-based app: pick a street on Google Maps, and get a generated “Dutch lifestyle” version of it, with less road and more living space.
This article from Fast Company has a bit of a click-baity title (I don’t know if Obsidian users are really “obsessed” with a piece of software), but it’s a pretty good round-up of why I really like Obsidian. I actually wouldn’t even describe my own usage of Obsidian as a “note-taking app”, and more as a “personal wiki” app. But of course, many people use Obsidian differently.
Anyway, I like that Obsidian has some grassroots origins and lets you just edit a bunch of text files that you can otherwise manage any way you see fit, as opposed to some venture capital-backed startup that uses “the cloud” or some proprietary format or whatever else. It’s extensible and pretty well written — in fact, it’s one of the rare Electron applications that doesn’t feel and behave like a giant turd. It feels light and fast. It does almost everything I need, and the rest is handled by an absolutely vibrant plug-in ecosystem.
In fact, I have one very simple plug-in myself, Remember File State, which does something that I hope Obsidian will eventually do itself: remember where you were in a file when you reopen it. Duh. At the time of writing, there are more than 5000 people using it.
I personally support the development of Obsidian by paying for their Sync service, which has been 100% reliable over the past year or two. You can of course achieve the same by syncing your notes via Dropbox or iCloud or whatever (Again, it’s just a bunch of text files! That’s the point!), but I like to send a few bucks to people who make good software.
A federally funded EV-charging station network across Canada sounds nice, but I hope they will also look into how some EV brands are looking into stupid shit like proprietary chargers…
“More than one in four NDP supporters said they’d likely change their vote to Liberal to try to block the Conservatives from winning.” Damn right. For every one thing Poilievre makes sense about, there are two things that are, like, “let’s copy US libertarianism”, so fuck that.
