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.
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.

"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.
7 things to know about Bluesky before you join - and why you should

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/curves๐ญโ
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.

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'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!)
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 ๐ 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.
