This is the first 4-channel in-game tune our composer Ramon Braumuller made.

We wanted the music to be calming, as there's time-based pressure to solve the puzzles.

Well, this is a transcendent level of evil: Facebook bought a VPN company and deployed it, in part, to spy on its competitor's users.

https://techcrunch.com/2024/03/26/facebook-secret-project-snooped-snapchat-user-traffic/

It's a reminder that VPNs have their own risks, beyond technical ones if operated incompetently -- namely, that you have to trust the VPN company itself.

UPDATED to reflect which users were being spied on.

In the 1990s and early 2000s, tiny animated GIF banners of 88 x 31 pixels could be found on lots of sites, usually functioning as a button or clickable ad, linking to a different site.

Did you know you can easily search through your own Mastodon posts?

Just include from:me in the search field.

Instead of this, you can include in:library to show posts you have interacted with or written yourself.

If you want to search through posts of a specific user, include from:username (the full username, including the instance)

I frequently listen to 4-channel Commodore Amiga music modules from the 1980s and 1990s, with instruments consisting of short 8-bit sound samples.

One of my favorite Amiga composers from that era is Sami Jรคrvinen, better known as Groo. I love his daring experiments, such as this Free Jazz style track called "Banana and Heaven".
