This is why decentralization is the obvious next step. Vertical scaling has reached its LIMIT for social media. The next step is to scale it horizontally. Oh, you created a Twitter clone?? Cute, I created 1,000 Twitter clones.

IT'S FINALLY DONE.

My Spy Hunter clone, Distant Ruins is now complete. Currently, there is only a Linux binary, but you should be able to compile for Windows in the meantime.

I can't believe I wasn't aware about this until now. Apparently, there is an organization that is creating cheap, open-source industrial machines that can be used to create small, self-sustaining communities. Basically, 3D print your own village.

I bet distributists like @Andrii would love this.

MASSIVE! The Snapmaker Artisan (3D Printer, CNC Router, and Laser engraver/cutter) is HUGE

"Coning" autonomous surveillance vehicles causes them to require a hard reset.

So, the game is basically done. I could add more levels and stuff, but I'm burnt out and want to move on. It's playable from start to finish and that's all what matters. It also isn't as polished as the last game, but that's because I've switched both languages and frameworks.

Expect a release later today. I just need to create a page for it on my website. It might be for Linux only for the time being because I currently don't have access to a Windows PC and I don't really feel like cross-compiling with MinGW and Wine.

And thank God, I don't have to worry about land down under schizo shitting on me and not even attempting to make a coherent argument.

I've updated my article debunking flat-earth. I've added a section talking about how these flight paths that flat-earthers keep pointing out don't prove the flat-earth.

doing another major refactor of the rendering pipeline because I want to support both dynamic lights, and shadow-casting "lights" that only exist to cast shadows from dynamic mobs onto the baked static surfaces without contributing light themselves.

I was watching a breakdown of CS2's new renderer and it sounds like they take a similar approach to their new indoor shadow system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQI0lQhtZiE

One of the biggest problems of Biden's neo-Keynesian approach to government budgets is that it leaves households with less money in real terms and the “anti-inflation” measures increase debt and inflation. | @dlacalle_ia

Oh, nice, looks like the Fosstodon instance (@fosstodon) blocked my profile.

I guess it tells you more about “FOSS”todon than anything else that they chose to block a human rights activist/privacy advocate who wakes up and works at a not-for-profit on free and open software every day. Maybe if I were to work at Google and hack on a hobby open source project in the evenings I’d be acceptable?
