thanks for the shoutout on stardust! There's a lot more going on (like demo videos shown @stardustxr) but the description is just to explain what it is to other devs who could help so it's not the best for a video.
You can test Stardust even without a headset using its flatscreen mode, that's how I code it most of the time since the hardware's not quite there yet. If you want to, def reach out to me next time! I could have made the whole thing more presentable if I'd known...
Call for Participants!
As part of my PhD project on generative archaeology games, I’m conducting a study on player responses to a short game about exploring an abandoned village.
Anyone over 16 years old can take part, and the survey is 10 minutes long:

This scam relies on the onlooker's ignorance of a key element of the reader/writer ecosystem: readers have finite time for reading, and their time is inelastic.
The very first sentence in the pitch asserts that it's easy to write a bestselling book (with or without AI assistance). But if that was the case, why isn't everybody doing it already?
Books can't all be bestsellers, because the customers' reading time is inelastic. So they buy on perceived quality. So this is a grift. QED.

This album is an absolute banger. Top class talent performing imaginative inspired arrangements with a disregard for genre lines.
Maintaining an positive and uplifting spirit througout the duration, this album is fantastic for getting things done, a pick-me-up, or introspection.
#Introduction 
Hello!
I’m a person that makes art. Lately in the form of indie comics. I also make videos about music.
Current events are also of interest, but I’ll just boost that stuff rather than make original posts (mostly).
Here is a good example of one of my ongoing comic strips:

And a drawing I made of Deirdre Beaubeirdre from Everything Everywhere All At Once, that I think came out pretty good.

So you want to make a new JS framework
The personal blog of Dave Rupert, web developer and podcaster from Austin, TX.daverupert.com
They don't understand how excited I was to hear there was no framework in place. They said I can use any framework I want to build out the rest of the site, make the database connections, etc.
This is a .NET/VB shop, and I can't wait to show them what can be done with so little.

When games that are live service, or rely heavily on servers get cut off, they should at the very least release the server code so others can continue hosting it.
Stop being afraid of open source and embrace it. Too many games will be lost to greed.
Duelyst is a wonderful recent example of how to do it right.

Counterplay Games makes tactical card battler Duelyst completely open source
This is awesome and something more developers should do with games they shut down. Counterplay Games have made their mix of a collectable card game and a turn-based strategy Duelyst fully open source.Liam Dawe (GamingOnLinux)
just take all the source ports of DooM, Quake 1, 2 and 3 and rebase them on the Unreal engine 1.
Jokes aside we owe a lot to John Carmack.
I would even go so far as to say that APIs to end users must always be disclosed. Control can still take place via access rights.
Imagine if appliance power plugs depended on the power provider: Coffee machines would come in 'umpteen different plugs, depending on the electricity provider. Crazy! But normal for IT...
#StrangeNewWorld
The star closest to our Sun, Proxima Centauri, also hosts the closest exoplanet to Earth, only 4.2 light-years away. The small star is hard to see, but now there's more reason to look! A possible second planet, Proxima Centauri c, is awaiting confirmation!

✨🔭 The night sky is rapidly getting brighter
Artificial lighting that escapes into the sky causes it to glow, preventing humans and animals from seeing the #stars. Citizen scientists reported global rapid reductions in the visibility of stars. Trends in the data showed that the average night sky got brighter by 9.6% per year from 2011 to 2022, which is equivalent to doubling the sky brightness every 8 years.
Yeah.
#LightPollution is so extreme these days, I only managed to see the milky way at night in the middle of the Red Sea almost a decade ago.

Installed the birdsite phone-program for the first time in years to do a Spaces thing today. Re-deleted before the day is out. Web is safer. But ugh it is so much nicer here.
How should we clone spaces in the fediverse? Press record on Mumble? And post the address to Mastodon? Can't be that hard.

I went to the @system76 factory in Denver today to get some help replacing a laptop battery, and got a fun glimpse of the new COSMIC DE they're building. Two things:
1. It is so nice to be able to visit a local computer factory and spend an hour geeking out with the people there
2. COSMIC is going to be amazing! See latest updates here: blog.system76.com/post/2022-at…
