When you talk about the network of servers that enable you to read this message, do you and/or people you know normally say "mastodon" or "the fediverse" (or something else entirely)?
Honestly, the biggest roadblock for me in gamedev is art. I've always been a terrible artists and sites like OpenGameArt either don't have what you are looking for or have art that was made by someone who clearly doesn't know how sprites work. And even if you do find something, it ends up not mixing well with your artstyle.
Music is even worse. Not that many people compose free to use music for video games. The music selection on OpenGameArt is proof of that. I can't even bother to learn music theory and I don't know how self-taught musicians are able to do it. Not to mention that these musicians sometimes don't make their music loop properly. I've even seen some of them add fucking fade outs in their music.
Now you may ask "why don't you just hire someone?" I'll tell you why, I'm cheap and even then, artists are fucking stubborn from what I can tell. If you don't let them have creative freedom, then they won't work for you. Not to mention that some specialize in a certain artstyle, so it is hard to find the one you are looking for. Also, in this political climate, I don't want to be associated with what any of my artists say, and I have no control over them.
That said, if you have unused sprites, music, sound effects, models, etc laying around, please consider uploading them to sites like OpenGameArt or itch.io.

@coolboymew @guizzy @Moon @triodug @why sites are simple:
<html> tag wraps whole thing
<head> is for metadata and loading in stuff like external CSS or JS files
<body> is for the actual content
some of the most commonly used elements are:
<h1> large heading, and there's some smaller ones h2, h3, h4, h5, h6
<p> paragraph that breaks lines above and under it (if you put another <p> in the html it will be divided on a new line), use this for normal text
<a href="link"> a link (<a>nchor)
<img src="link-to-image" alt="alt text if the image doesn't load or if it's a text based browser/accessibility"> image element
<span> generic text element with no styling, you can do <span style="color: red">hi there</span> and only that part will be styled like that. it inherits the styling of its parent element so normally it would be no different than the rest of the paragraph.
<div> it's a plain box element, you can style it however you want.
and CSS styles elements like this:
<a>hello</a>
a {
color: red;
}
any anchor will appear red ^
<a class="foo">bar</a>
.hello {
color: red;
}
any anchor with the class foo will appear red ^
<a id="foo">bar</a>
#hello {
setting: value;
setting: value;
}
any anchor with the id foo will appear red ^ id'd elements have to be unique
it helps to think of every HTML element as a box with slightly different properties. their style is (usually) relative to their parent element. if you have:
<div width="500px">
<div width="100%"></div>
</div>
the nested div will be 100% of its parent element, which is 500px wide. the height difference
a very basic website:

/* this is a comment. margin: 0 removes the default thing where it has a border around the content it's a dumb default browser styling */
body {
background-color: #eeeeee;
color: #111111;
margin: 0;
font-family: sans-serif;
}
/* makes the hyperlink color less of an eyesore */

a:visited {

}
/* change holor on cover */
a:hover {

}
.nav a {
margin-right: 8px;
}
/* sets the min width to 400px so phones don't suffer as much. margin: auto; centers it */
.content {

Herace Siinclaiir [Minecraft IRL] - 
Chicken Pen Roof Project (Work in Progress)
I ordered clear tinted roof panels from homedepot for my chicken pen a week ago, Just now finished cutting them to size.
Also I had to use a multi tool instead of a circular saw which took a long time to do. because the circular saw will shatter the roof tiling.
Its going to rain on and off this weekend but i think i could get it done on Sunday hopefully.#gardening #chickens

Yep, the thing with Eugen is he wants to be the CEO of the Mastodon Network (tm).
The good thing is calling it the Mastodon Network deflects flak from us, which means that it throws off people writing hit pieces like the famous "Mastodon pedo" article.

@vyr I know you're probably blocking me because your side loves to block people (if you're not, feel free to correct me) but there is absolutely zero reason that you can't fork Mastodon (an agpl3 project) and rename it, like with that japanese fork I forget the name of, glitch-soc, hometown, etc. There's also using pleroma and misskey and any one of their forks instead over supporting Eugen and his ecosystem.

good morning and heads up:
Gargron wants to disable custom emoji in account display names because people fleeing Twitter complain about 
when they realize anyone can fake it.
*all* custom emoji in display names, because it'd be impractical to just disable and Unicode visual lookalikes such as ✔️☑️✅√ and friends. that includes pride flags, and you know, i was *just talking* about the history of Fediverse contributions from people who might fly pride flags <https://demon.social/@vyr/110118781991020640/embed>, but i've also seen custom emoji used in display names to mark programming languages, games, all sorts of communities…
*and* he likes to remind people that Mastodon™ is Trademarked, and Licensed, and thus customizing it to not do that would be forbidden:

Twitter's open source code reveals US government can 'intervene' with recommendation algorithm
"When needed, the government can intervene with the Twitter algorithm," Tey wrote. "In fact, @TwitterEng (Twitter Engineering) even has a class for it – 'GovernmentRequested.'"
What you see and what you hear is cabal controlled matrix narrative.

Free Software is not some socialist utopia, but rather is really more a demonstration of free market capitalist when you eliminate copyright law (despite it being dependent on it). The GPL can best be described as a hack on copyright to do the opposite of what copyright law was intended to do (aka restrict distribution for the benefit and profit of a tiny minority, even though that isn't how it was sold to the public). There is competition within the system explicitly because a monopoly on distribution doesn't exist with free software, and rather because of this collaboration to one degree or another is more benefiting than not. However there remain dictators of projects. When more collaborative eendeavors are successful they compete with more doctorial ones. Often it is a combination of that which results in free software thriving. Socialism can work at a small scale to one degree or another, but libertarian free market values are what ensure the best thing can happen independent of any one person or projects particular political preferences. In other words we have both successful collaborative projects like LibreOffice AND more dictatorial ones like Ubuntu and Red Hat Enterprise Linux of which compete with more collaborative ones such as Debian and each other and to one degree or another even collaborate with each other or at least utilize each others works. Even where one project is overall superior often another can find a nitch and be successful too. libreCMC vs OpenWRT (not saying one is better here, just that one has a nitch and both have been successful over the long term). Same basic code base, some number of important changes.

@graf @sjw Here is my terrible commentary on that even worse video. It came out long because I hate this guy without knowing who he is. The TL;DR is "this is a psyop and everyone should calm down until something real happens".
This guy is claiming it's gonna get people locked up for using a VPN because that's "circumventing a geofence". Using a VPN would not qualify; a business trying to conceal how many users it had in the US (to claim it was under 1m) or registering a shell company in a friendly country (say Tencent registered a business in the EU) would qualify. You'd have to try to circumvent that law, and this guy is going all "And *this* circumvents things!" and it doesn't circumvent provisions of that law, which is what that section applies to, which means it has nothing to do with that. All of these videos, all of the arguments, these are "Some dude reads a chunk of the text in isolation and makes up bullshit".
I stopped watching the video after that. I am really not going to start being concerned about this until a constitutional lawyer is. The amount of bullshit around this law has passed the level of "maybe random youtube dickhead has something interesting to say". Random Youtube dickhead has burned me every time on this: it's all retards. I don't know if he's a shill or if he's just an idiot that fell for the psyop. The text of the bill has none of this scary shit in it, and the only reason anyone is saying anything about it is because some random internet dipshits keep panicking about it.
The psyop might not be Chinese anyway. It might be American. It might exist entirely to distract from the "require an ID to use the internet" bill in the Senate that is suspiciously like the first steps to the "Digital Identity" the WEF proposed: https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2021/01/davos-agenda-digital-identity-frameworks/ . (That came from @coolboymew , in https://shitposter.club/objects/0dbc5216-4249-4fd4-be93-611b0a994ee2 .) Purely by coincidence, it's simultaneously being pushed in the US Senate ( https://fcw.com/digital-government/2023/03/senate-committee-advances-open-source-software-and-digital-identity-bills/384583/ ) and also the UK Parliament ( https://www.cityam.com/why-i-tabled-an-amendment-to-the-financial-services-and-markets-bill-on-digital-id/ ) and in Arkansas ( https://talkbusiness.net/2023/03/governor-lawmakers-push-bill-to-require-age-verification-for-social-media-usage/ ) and in Florida ( https://www.wfla.com/news/politics/florida-lawmaker-coming-after-internet-porn-introduces-age-verification-bill/ ) and I got tired of clicking after that. So maybe all of these people making up shit to stoke the panic over this stupid SB686 stuff are not covering for Tencent, maybe they're covering for US politicians that are pushing actually terrible shit.
So I don't want to miss the actual bad shit because of people freaking out about the SB 686 Nothingburger. The panic is based on nothing but people hearing someone else panicking: dude hands a bunch of fireworks to children, the children set off the fireworks, this covers the sound of gunfire. The only way to avoid that psyop is to wait for something real and avoid caring about commentary about commentary about commentary about the text of the bill.
