video games should make it so if you're losing too much, your punishment is the orchestral soundtrack being replaced by a version with synth bras

if you want to "play" the "game" in the state i stopped working on it (you just walk around a randomly generated raycasted garden), you can get it here for linux and here for windows

#JPEGXL / #JXL, the most requested and upvoted focus area proposal for #web #Interop, has again been rejected as a discussion topic for 2024's web platform Interop industry event, because "We did not have consensus to include this proposal."

Given the industry's broad support, lack of "consensus" sounds an awful lot like "the Google Chrome team lead who authored the AVIF format arranged for it to be vetoed."

But now these images of Mars in 4K with Kennedy’s words lingering in the background are making my day a majestic finale to an odd week. #mars #rover #space


pet and i have an inside joke where we will describe each other as "walking on all those legs"

it exists because i searched for all permutations of "all ___ legs" on google ngrams and found that "all those legs" was one of the results: books.google.com/ngrams/graph?…

and then we were just thinking about how funny it would be if you were reading a novel and the line "she walked in on all those legs" appeared

The full album downloads (in mp3 or flac format) also come with the original XM modules, so you can see how the songs were written, modify them, pull out the samples, etc.

It's like the source code for the tracks, and you can check it out using a modern Fasttracker 2 compatible program like ft2-clone.

in reply to jefftheworld

Sounds very cool. Will check it out, thanks. And thanks for your music.

I'm wondering about two things:
— Does the percentage for "Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS 64 bit" include snaps?
— Conversely, for "Freedesktop SDK 23.08", do we know the distribution of host systems that use the flatpak?

Don't prefill config files

(new blog post!)

in reply to makeworld

I disagree that you can't change defaults, that's a design problem with the config options. If there is concern over something changing then the config should provide the option to preselect the internel default.

Following this example you'd allow the config to set search_engine = default

rimworld, bad
oh hell no lu developed a girlsmell kink


ok, let’s give this robot one more try at getting it to work well and be useful.

tl;dr it was originally deployed at a volkswagen factory and came with a customized, volkswagen-specific control cabinet (on the right, the one with “broken robot” poster) which is absolute hell to get to work right standalone, without an external plc controlling it over interbus. hardware is different enough that it can’t be easily converted, software that works with this hardware is heavily stripped down and lacks critical features.

so I finally managed to track down a stock version of the control cabinet. it’s incomplete, but I can do some part swaps to get it to work and it was cheap.

in reply to erin // Eileen

it’s alive.

it boots.

it boots windows 95.
