I've opened a backup account at @fdavidcl in case something breaks here at mstdn.io. No need to follow me there now, just a PSA.

"The current state of web design" http://fczbkk.com/current-state-of-webdesign/
I'm looking for books/resources about game design and programming.
(I'm more interested in design and tech design too)
I want to understand the whole thing in a general way. High-level knowledge.
Shoot anything you have.

So folks, the #article13 and #linktax proposals will be going soon to the EU parlaiment, and if they pass they will become a serious problem for the #Fediverse:
* To automatically filter copyrighted materials, even badly, you need a way to reference those materials. Even our largest instances probably can't afford access!
* Our instances will not be able to afford licenses to link to news sites under the new #LinkTax rules.

BREAKING: The EU JURI committee has passed #Article13. This requires sites to filter all submissions against a database of copyrighted works—creating a #CensorshipMachine that puts thousands of daily activities and millions of Internet users at the mercy of algorithmic filters.
BREAKING: The EU Parliament's JURI committee has approved #Article11. This #LinkTax will hurt those who use the Internet for sharing, punish projects like Wikipedia, and “poses a significant threat to an informed and literate society," according to the research community.
