This morning I used the handy "go to point" function of our robot vacuum to deliver toast to my partner in the living room and heard an "oh for fucks sake" in response

macbeth vagueposting? they will never defeat the brand consistency
@lastcoder Thanks, although as time goes on increasingly little of Veloren was written by me!
I would choose Rust, but that's primarily due to personal familiarity and skillset: I'm more at home screwing around with low-level graphics APIs and writing physics engines than I would be with a modern engine. I don't think most prospective gamedevs fall into this category though, although @bevy is making the domain much more approachable!
@lastcoder If you *enjoy* using Rust, then I recommend at least trying: the language has a lot of features that make it really well-suited to gamedev, especially gamedev-at-scale (MMOs) or unique requirements (retro console dev, unusual rendering architecture, or anything else that goes against the grain of a traditional engine). But if it's a language you find yourself struggling with, you might be better off looking at something like Godot instead.
Photographer Martin Parr, whose colourful images captured British life, has died at the age of 73.
He died on Saturday at his home in Bristol, the director of the Martin Parr Foundation, Jenni Smith, told BBC News.
In a statement, external, the foundation said he would "be greatly missed" and was survived by his wife Susie, daughter Ellen, sister and grandson. It added the family asked for privacy.
The documentary photographer rose to prominence in the mid 1980s, with The Last Resort, his study of working class people on holiday in New Brighton in Merseyside.
Trump likes grift, FIFA likes grift. His motivation here is not that deep. Nothing is deep with this shallow muddy pool of a man.
How do IT and data governance strategies impact the environment?
"The Climate Needs #FAIR and #FOSS: A #Sustainability Perspective on Research Data and Software Management" (Lecture Notes in Informatics)
https://doi.org/10.18420/inf2025_92
"We argue that by implementing policies ensuring the re-use of data and code, research institutions enable digital objects — and, crucially, the hardware they are processed on — to be used more efficiently and for longer."
I am writing normal:tm: Rust code
Oh, hey, Mastodon has built-in syntax highlighting for C/C++ preprocessor directives!
Was forced to install the Miele app because it is the only way to tell the washing machine to clean itself. It asks you for permission to have third parties process and analyze your data no less than **8 times**. Ridiculous. I bet it will keep on asking until you give up. Also it is probably selling my data anyhow. Bah.
they should make usb-c cables with resistor color band type markings on them to tell you about their power and data transmission characteristics
Before you may enter this playground, you must answer me these riddles three
Kiddo: 🐀 I've been playing a lot of Kitsune Tails lately
Me: 🦝 Oh aye? What do you think of it, I'll tell the developer
🐀 ...😯 you KNOW the developer?

This is why you need to buy indie games
@martinschlegel I don't really think I make the claims you're arguing against
would anyone like some DDR3 RAM? yours for $5 & I'll post it for free - I have no use for it but it's too good to go into e-waste!

the folks trying to get open source developers to boycott github are barking up the wrong tree. just get an agent hired at microsoft who internally advocates to remove unnecessary duplication in the login systems. get a promo out of it, it totally makes business sense. require every current github user to use login dot live dot com. 50% marketshare reduction within the year, I guarantee you
One Waymo blocking the bus lane, another one stuck in a regular lane. Could just as well put a sack of bricks on the road and call it autonomous.
