We’re now in the “Guy on Substack saying Bluesky is a rejection of Big Tech” phase of the hype.

in reply to Jen Sorensen

so, what do we do now? You have been a voice of realism these past few years. Is there any hope not built on a mountain of dead bodies?

... God, fuck accelerationists.

@manvsxerox Take care of ourselves and others, seek out trustworthy sources of information, and try to keep the flame alive. That's all I've got.

Brush with? ???
Many of us have felt like we've been living under a police state since at least Reagan, and the Democrats have been happy to pile on. They certainly ran away from defund, even though the real referendum was and continues to be the working class economy. I'll thank the Democrats for some more liberal policies on environment and social justice, but those still take a backseat to the interests of capitalists. Plus we should think of authority globally.



They really are each other's best friend, as well as accomplices in crime. One of them will excavate the plants while the other is the lookout. Little Criminals.

Let me know your new address when you have it for Christmas cards! Best of luck!


"If you're tired of algorithms deciding what you see, Bluesky might be the relief you're looking for. Like Mastodon, Bluesky has no central algorithm feeding you posts based on some popularity contest. Instead, what you see comes from genuine engagement: posts gain visibility based on how many users like and "re-skeet" them (Bluesky's version of a retweet)."


Tell me you don't know what an algorithm is without telling me you don't know what an algorithm is.

Terrain3D is an incredible add-on for Godot 4. Thank you @TokisanGames !

This is part of R&D for Liblast and Liblast Framework.
Based on CGI data from #NASA, that was interpreted frivolously to an 8x8 km area and then sclupted over to add detail that was missing from the original textures.

So there's a kind of, tick-tock, feel to this, that won't be present in the final game, but I'm convinced is absolutely critical at this phase.

If your systems can't tick along this discretely, like a well-oiled clock, then they won't feel right once you cover them up with more ease/interp/curves🐭⚔

in reply to Megan Fox

Suffices to say I am very freaking happy with this. It's so crisp! There's a smooth turn toward each attack dir that SNAPS in when the movement frames actually begin, like a perfectly machined part snapping into place. That's what I want a combat system to be.

That's what DMC is, as a random example, but this also applies to a ton of fighting games.

(where say Veilguard, bless its heart, is more like controlling a bag of soft cheese)

in reply to Megan Fox

This looks really fun and responsive! This is very similar to what I’m going for in the game I just started on, except I’m doing 2D isometric. I’m enjoying your progress posts, keep ‘em coming!

unrelated, I would love if valve made half life 3 and portal 3 into an asymetric coop game where glados send chell to get ride of the rogue core aboard the ship, gather the sweet test data and maybe steal some black mesa tech data while Dr Freeman is here to get technology to... I lost the half life plot.

I coincidentally started reading Sara Horowitz's book 'Mutualism' last week and it's the one thing giving me cause for hope amid the statements of US lawmakers(!) claiming they're going to 'take a blowtorch' to the federal govt.

I will eventually add in a bit so I can customize the hashtags for each one, but for now those will do.

Oh no...now you all get to see all my titles before I quickly fix them when I'm sure I've checked them twice before hitting publish 🙃
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

and now, with the latest version of the Android app (2.9+), there are also new-post push notifications (they were missing from the app before, only via the browser I believe) like Twitter had.

Very useful for news profiles (without audio though).

It seems, feature-wise, Mastodon is the best Twitter replacement.

I reported the missing feature on GitHub for the android version: github.com/mastodon/mastodon-a…

probably you can do the same for iOS 👍

in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

I'm working on adding Webmentions to my site which I'll then link to my official company account @heavyelementinc using brid.gy

My backend has a task queue system and my posts won't be "published" to Mastodon for at least 2 min after I actually make them live on my site (because I always end up having edits to make!)

in reply to Gardiner Bryant

@gardiner_bryant @heavyelementinc yeah moving stuff over to a cron to loop over i might do eventually now i at least have the working code to auto post
in reply to Liam @ GamingOnLinux 🐧🎮

That's great! I see many people trying to cross-post here, even before the Twitter exodus. But they usually have much less activity here because they usually prioritize one over another.

That's not the case for you - you're very active here 😅 Just hope that if cross-posting is easy to setup, maybe other users will also do the same.

This is why I'm a bit worried when I see users from Mastodon joining BlueSky.

The US government wants consumers to think Chinese cars are a threat, but Ford CEO Jim Farley has a lot of good things to say about his competitors.

Instead of blocking Chinese brands, let them to set up domestic factories — like Toyota and Honda did.

And like China did with Tesla to force local companies to be more globally competitive.

am I correct in understanding that this still requires separate directory structures? If a doc is processed by paperless, then it needs to stay in the structure created by paperless?

@Bandersnatch unfortunately some block lists and plugins decided to just auto-close links, it's terrible for users not to be informed, i keep asking people to submit bug reports to their plugins <_<
