Starting today, one may formally declare their intent to submit a game to #ifcomp2024

August 1 is the last day one may do so.

Remember, this year the Comp starts at the beginning of September, not October!

Iceland is the only country who, after the 2008 crash, let banks go bust and jailed bankers.

Parliament House, Alþingishúsið, is right next to the central square in Reykjavik - its wall & windows are metres from public space.

The "kitchenware revolution" is now infamous: Protesters brought pots & pans to the square and made a racket right outside parliament.

Icelanders held the rich to account because the literal distance between the people and the government was far smaller.

🧵 In 2020, I nearly died from mysterious industrial chemical exposure at my apartment. Later, in 2023, I discovered my employer was dumping toxic waste into the apartment windows from their Skunkworks semiconductor fab next-door. I tipped off the US EPA, who sent their env cops to raid Apple's plant in Aug of 2023. The US EPA finally released the report of their enforcement inspections & sent me a copy on Friday. 💀 ⬇️

@jonn I don't disagree, and I have put hundreds of open source repos into the world that don't matter to show for it. But we have limited time on this rock.

Energy put into a proprietary project is guaranteed to be of no long term value to society, but working on a FOSS project at least has a non-zero chance.

@jonn Tas nav joks? :)
