I learned how to animate+render in Blender and it's @jolexxa.bsky.social 's fault 😭

Female players are an overlooked opportunity for growth in the games industry, a research firm's new report says. www.videogameschronicle.com/news/female-...

Do the float values 2.3e-10 & 4.5e9 have any significance for 3D vector graphics? Asking because both are heavily used in #blackrockshooter the game’s bone & mesh data for some reason? Looking for possible leads since this is not my expertise. Thanks

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work. This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public. Please spread the word. 🧵 1/4

when you're publicly high-functioning despite your overwhelming mental illness so people feel comfortable demanding a large amount of emotional labor from you and then get mad when you don't deliver because all of your effort and ability is already exhausted maintaining your high-functioning persona

I’m kind of proud of my recent reduction in social media use. I uninstalled LinkedIn, cut Instagram down to 30min (max!) a day, stopped watching YT shorts, and focused on more genuine social interaction on Discord&Bsky (less time, more quality!~) Result? More time contributing to OSS on GitHub ✨🩵

definitely a good day to log off

I’ve been fiddling with Flutter/Dart GitHub CI a lot lately, I think I finally have a workflow I’m happy with~

A really interesting assessment on how and why #AI is not necessarily a helpful tool for #Women. Not just in the workplace but also as a new agonist for misogyny, reinforcing some destructive ideas and patterns. #WomenInSTEM open.substack.com/pub/thenoosp...

Trans rights are human rights and if one of is ain’t free then none of us are.

it used to be “here’s a thing I built that uses this framework and this database and this UI library” now it’s all “I’m running multiple agents on a thousand VMs bro” yes but what are you _making_ what are you _doing_ for the world what will your legacy be

As RAM becomes more scarce, us developers will have to care more about RAM usage like we did back in the old days~ What this means: - more time spent profiling memory - goodbye Electron apps (and JS) - shift towards AOT languages like Rust, Zig, Dart

auto_layout_flutter v0.1.0 has been released! 🩵✨ Build your Flutter UI like you would in Figma! Replaces Row/Column/Wrap with a single configurable widget~ #FlutterDev pub.dev/packages/aut...

M6 Macbooks are coming out and I’m like… no??? I’ll be happy to keep my M4 for the next 5 years if not longer!

Wait, you're all exploding because of an account with 91 followers said something about games? Can't we try to be better than Twitter was?

re @anthropic.com: I've identified industrial-scale copyright violations on my content by Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, X, and more. These companies created thousands of crawlers incorporating the text of all my blog posts, open source code, and books into their paid AI models to profit exorbitantly.

Just a reminder while this is a victory, it's not over yet until Discord completely gives up on the age verification nonsense. Don't resubcribe to Nitro immediately.

Have any of y’all played Harvestella? Is it any good?

I thought I had no art for Zelda's birthday but OF COURSE I had I was just so swamped. Happy birthday you legend. #LegendOfZelda

Just kidding, NOW I’m happy with it 🫶✨

My tummy issues are completely gone after I moved apartments, I can’t express how happy I am 😭💚 Like, as a foodie not being able to enjoy like 1/3rd of your favorite flavors sucks SO bad, and I’m just so happy that’s not the case anymore 🥹

Remember the "Artificial Lack of Intelligence" episode of Silicon Valley where Gilfoyle removes his code? Well... gizmodo.com/amazon-repor...

Made more progress on auto_layout_frame Revamped the editor to look slightly more like Figma, I think I’m happy with it now ^^ Just gotta add more tests now and it’ll be ready for release 🥳🩵 #FlutterDev

I was building a property inspector for a Flutter widget I’m making, and thought of using Cupertino The state of CupertinoFormSection.insetGrouped makes me sad 😔 Oh well *rolls up sleeves*

i had a funny thing to say about developers that run a certain os but i ran out of space and wanted it in one post so here's this

Best thing about being an adult with money is I finally can afford all the cool Y2K clothes <3 There’s something so healing about finally being able to dress like I wanted to 20 years ago (while wishing I was 20 years older back then)~ ✨

To paraphrase a friend: stay on the path, make good things. Indie has always flourished in the face of AAA distraction. Times are bad, but let others deskill, pivot to nonsense or chase impossible outcomes. People really like playing videogames. Suits forget that every 6 months or so.
