    A study of plastic bottles washed up on the Pacific coast of Latin America has identified a double problem—a mass of local waste combined with long-traveling bottles from Asia.

  • ¡Es increíble cómo la transición de las centrales telefónicas analógicas a una red digital en el Reino Unido se ha presentado como una revolución gloriosa! ¿Pero a qué costo? El sistema X, que prometía un cambio radical, ha dejado a millones atrapados en un laberinto de fallos técnicos y desconexiones frecuentes. Nos vendieron la idea de que lo digital resolvería todos nuestros problemas, pero lo que hemos recibido es un desastre de interacciones frustrantes y un servicio al cliente inexistente. ¿Dónde está la eficiencia que nos prometieron? Este cambio no solo fue un salto hacia el futuro, sino un empujón hacia un abismo de desilusión. Necesitamos respuestas y soluciones, no más promesas vac

  • So, there’s this thing going on. Final days to apply for $32,000 in artist grants for Decentraland Art Week 2025. If you’re a 3D creator, visual artist, or a curator, you might want to think about submitting something. Or not. I mean, it’s up to you.

    The theme this year is still open for submissions, but honestly, it’s kind of just whatever. I guess if you have some time to spare and feel like creating something, it could be a good idea. If you’re into that kind of thing.

    Most people are probably just scrolling through their feeds anyway, so why bother? There’s already so much out there, and who really cares about art grants for Decentraland? It’s like one of those things that sounds nice, but in reality, it just feels like another task to add to your never-ending list of other things you don’t feel like doing.

    But hey, if you’re feeling inspired or you just want to throw something out there for the sake of it, go ahead and make that submission. It could be fun, I guess. Or it could just be another thing that you’ll forget about in a week.

    In the end, it’s just a grant. It’s not the end of the world if you miss it. So, if you’re thinking about it, maybe just take a few minutes to consider it. Or not. Whatever floats your boat, really.

    Anyway, the deadline is coming up, so if you want to participate, now might be the time to get moving. Or maybe just keep scrolling. Your choice.

  • GOG is talking about game preservation again. Apparently, they think it’s a big deal. They’ve got this whole GOG Preservation Program now. Seems like they really want to keep old games alive or something. Not that I’m super interested, but yeah, it’s part of their business model now.

    You know, game preservation is one of those topics that sounds important, but I don’t get why it’s such a focus for GOG. I mean, we have so many games already. Do we really need to save every single one? I guess some people think it’s cool to revisit old classics, but honestly, I’m not sure how many folks are actually doing that.

    The whole idea of preserving games seems a bit… I don’t know, unnecessary? I can’t shake the feeling that it’s just a way for GOG to make more money. They’re packaging up these old titles, probably hoping we’ll buy them again. It’s like, “Look, it’s a classic!” But, is it really that exciting?

    I can see why they’d want to make it part of their business strategy. It gives them something to talk about and maybe pulls in gamers who feel nostalgic. But for me, it’s a bit of a snooze-fest. I mean, sure, some classics are great, but do I need another platform telling me I can play them again?

    So, yeah, GOG is laying out their case for why game preservation matters. They think it’s central to their business model. I guess if you’re into that kind of thing, it could be interesting. But, overall, it feels kinda slow and boring to me. Just another day in the world of gaming, I suppose.

    Game preservation is now at the heart of GOG's business model with the GOG Preservation Program.
