I hope Taiwan remains independent, but America has no place in this war, or any other!

@report_press@mastodon.social Can I also just say that personally attacking people through an anonymous report is also a very lame thing to do?

Turns out those years at vocational school and going into business instead of going to college are starting to pay off.

Does anyone know about the TV show called Knightmare? It was about kids who had to go through a dungeon, sort of like what you'd find in an old point-and-click dungeon crawler.

Anyway, this indie game takes that little concept and turns it into something absolutely insane. Adds lore about going to different dream dimensions and crazy shit like that.

It's a lot of reading but there are visuals there to help keep things entertaining and it gets really intriguing. There are some puzzles in here that I don't think anyone has actually solved yet, either. At least, I couldn't find anyone talking about it on the itch.io page or on YouTube.

Saw Vinesauce play it last night and it seems like he's one of only a handful of people to even stream it, and he's gotten the furthest into it out of anyone.

_The World Health Organization Wants to Nullify the US Constitution_

FTA: Here in America, the US Constitution stands as the supreme law of the land. Unfortunately, the WHO is trying to override this via pushing for an international treaty in the event of health emergencies.

During a speech on the congressional floor, Massie drew attention to just how dangerous this is. As the Republican lawmaker explained, the US president doesn’t have the power to breach the Constitution via agreeing to new doctrines within a WHO-sanctioned global treaty.

Congress, not federal or international agencies, is responsible for approving the laws that Americans live by. Though the WHO wants to circumvent this. They’re doing it via passing an international treaty which establishes terms for nations to follow when health emergencies present themselves.

_What do The Great Reset and The Great Taking have in common? Private property, your property_

FTA: In 2023, hedge fund manager David Rogers Webb published a book titled ‘The Great Taking’. It describes a legal framework for the seizure of trillions of dollars of assets from public and private institutions and people.

Webb wrote that his book is about the taking of collateral – all of it. In other words, we will own nothing. How does this tie in the Great Reset and Agenda 2030’s Sustainable Development Goals?

According to US attorney Don Grande, “The Great Reset, The Great Taking, United Nations (“UN”) Agenda 2030 and the 30 x 30 (50 x 50) land grab are all connected. The connection is property – your property.”

It's finally time. After years of deliberation, #Minetest is finally ready to adopt a new identity and prove it has moved beyond its original purpose. We can finally move past the "mining" and the "testing" and focus on making this platform the best it can be.

The gas shortage in Florida is really bad.

It can be fixed by sundown by simply allowing prices to rise naturally.

If there is one good thing to say about ChatGPT is that I think it's great for generating website templates (or entire websites) because it doesn't add unnecessary bloat like non-standard fonts from Google or CSS/JS frameworks, and the resulting code is easy to navigate without code comments. You will know exactly where to put your content, or you can tell ChatGPT to put the content in there in the second prompt.

I recommend using that over using a WYSIWYG editor or downloading some HTML5 template that includes a bunch of external scripts from Google, Meta, and Cloudflare, and being bound by some restrictive license.

Just remember to be very specific on what kind of website you want. Just typing "dark-themed HTML5 template" will generate the same template that everyone else has. You need to specify what you want in the prompt such as a side bar for social media links on the left with updates on the right. It's also a good idea to specify what it's for such as a blog, a company, or a portfolio.

This is supposed to be a Donkey Kong clone. Yeah, way too complex, but still.

AI still sucks at writing code. This is supposed to be an Asteroids clone generated by ChatGPT 4. Bullets are shot from the side and there is no collision detection.

Been playing a bit of F-Zero Vintage Velocity Ace. It's like the original Vintage Velocity hack, except this one adds in recreations of the Ace League courses from BS F-Zero Grand Prix 2 to the Maximum Velocity engine.

Just doing the usual - chipping away at time trial runs.
