Election Integrity Issues Nationwide
A ballot machine in Laurel County, Kentucky, is now offline waiting for inspection by the Attorney General.

It refused to allow voters to select Donald Trump, instead automatically selecting Kamala Harris.

What's your reaction to this? https://www.minds.com/newsfeed/1699051117779882002

Okay, systems are up and running for botsinbox.net. Bot accounts can be bought through my ko-fi ko-fi.com/archdog for $1/month/bot.

Feedback is very much welcome and wanted! Currently limiting the number of slots until I'm completely confident in how it'll scale.

@ada @hellpie I have seen some bots on there post the same images several times and I only very casually follow them. That certainly would have been a good idea, since the way most people use bots like that is to just have a post from them show up on their feed every once in a while. If I want to look at a bunch of pictures of foxes l can just look that up, I don't have to go to a bot on a certain instance to do that.

Dear fox friends,
as you might have read, botsin.space will shut down next month/year. We already have a new home you can follow

@toomanyfoxes@icy.arcticfluff.eu

This will be a "soft migration" and you can already follow the new one to spread out load on my server and to avoid bugs with the mastodon move function.

Some time later this month I will initiate the normal account move to bring everyone over automatically. This account here will keep posting until mid December.

See you on the other side >^.^<~

@muffinista RIP, I follow some bots on here. Godspeed to you and all the people who want to keep their bots going.

Hey friends, it's hard to write this, but it's time to retire botsin.space. I wrote a post about it here: muffinlabs.com/posts/2024/10/2

TLDR the site will go read-only on or around December 15th.

I'm so thankful for all the support and good times here ❤️ thanks everyone

OK! Want to self-host your own bots now #BotsInSpace is going away?

I've made the *simplest* possible server just for you!

gitlab.com/edent/activity-bot/

Upload two files to your server (index.php and .htaccess), fill in a couple of details, and… that's it!

This is designed for write-only bots. It isn't interactive, it won't store or reply to messages sent to it, but it will post hashtags, links, mentions, and images.

You can see the sample bot @bot

Feedback very welcome!

Ghhh... It's 6am, I'm supposed to be awake to move all day long in an hour and a half. Can't sleep. Really want to work on stuff for my game but the next step is to test a Linux build and my laptop doesn't have Linux and my computer is completely packed. I always get this insane drive to work on shit at the worst times. It's going to be a loooooong day.

@LukeAlmighty it's crazy that games from 20 years ago have a more stable picture than current gen games do. There's no stuttering, no weird shimmering and ghosting, reflections aren't noticeably incorrect and shifting all the time, transparency is actual transparent instead of dithered... I could go on. Even 10 years ago none of this was really an issue. Sure, models and textures aren't of objectively higher quality, but there's nothing in the game that is just constantly ripping you out of the immersion. I actually end up needing to turn screen space reflection off in a lot of games because of how weird it can look. I tend to not use raytracing because of how things can get smeared with it on (which is only just now starting to be kind of fixed).

And of course, not only is the image significantly harder to look at, the games run like shit too and there isn't nearly as much artistry as there used to be. Those old games were running on systems that were using under 1gb of slow RAM.

@VD15 @LukeAlmighty @matrix re engine is really good. For linear games like resident evil and devil may cry. It's shit for monster hunter.

@LukeAlmighty end is mostly good for coding and typing. Sometimes for web browsing. The real key I can't find a good use for ever is Insert.

@MK2boogaloo I've always been an emo/scene kid at heart. Why else would I still use "xD" lol

I hope you all had a good Halloween. Mine sucked but maybe next year I can do something spooky. Really, I'm scared I am going to get an eviction on my record, so maybe it was the spookiest Halloween ever.

:meru_B: b e a r d boosted

What are these two doing here? It's november already!
Happy (belated) Halloweenn!! 👻🎃

A consultant for Dragon Age Veilguard is a retarded journalist and a transgender child activist. The same one who thought a song in Smash Ultimate said "retarded" by the way. Imagine my shock.
