I cannot convey what hearing rhetoric like this (and knowing it could become reality) is doing to me and other trans people. If you're not trans, imagine this was speech about you. https://bsky.brid.gy/r/https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:m65ifh7vn5zdgs7izcmht4gy/post/3lz2awbzpss2s

The world-building in Invasion season 3 is so lazy. There's been a global government in the form of a military coalition for a mere two years, but they refer to every existing country as "former" - former England, former Japan, former USA. In reality, even after decades under a tightly […]

I read "The Ministry for the Future" by Kim Stanley Robinson recently, and I thought it was very interesting, if a bit detached from some of the events it describes. https://blog.hyperlinkyourheart.com/ministry-for-the-future #sciencefiction #climatechange

"In memory of our fallen Free Speech™ champion, we will punish anyone saying the wrong things about him." The right wing freeze peachers having a normal one lately. 💀 #uspol

regardless of how you feel about EITHER "AI" or piracy, if they are successful in making it legal for facebook to pirate every book ever written to build an enormous company-stakes product, but illegal for me to pirate anything, that would be an unambiguous, unmistakable sign that everything in […]

Back to working on planets, and I adapted my shader so that I can put sprites on the surface and they will be lit appropriately, and it worked first time??? 😱 #gamedev #godotengine #godot

Ohhh maybe this is not the sub for me after all...

Signed up for a mailbox.org trial and discovered they have a Jabber server and web client! Real Google talk vibes...

[uspol, Charlie Kirk shooting, Alex Jones] Alex Jones in response to Charlie Kirk's shooting said that he had predicted "the left" were "going to false flag" lol. If it was a false flag that means a fellow fascist shot him in order to justify further violence against leftists and immigrants and […]

🇪🇺YES: Germany is not supporting the EU's #chatcontrol bill as proposed! The blocking minority needed to stop this illegal mass surveillance plan seems secured (for now). ✅ Opposition now also from LU🇱🇺 & SK🇸🇰! #keepupthefight https://fightchatcontrol.eu

LA Holocaust Museum apologizes for saying "Never Again" applies to everyone.

Across Europe, when centrist parties have adopted far right themes and sought to appease far right voters, they go down in flames. Why? Because: 1. They alienate their own base. 2. They tell other voters that the far right is correct. The determination not to learn this lesson is a wonder to behold.

more windows horror

Creating merge requests is stressful... 😩

Oh I didn't realise #fedora42 had a new installer. I like it!

When your code works but no idea how

like a fool idiot i removed linux-image-amd64 linux-headers-amd64 on the laptop and now my wifi connection is broken and im in recovery mode scrambling to fix it on zero sleep can i have help please

It will be very difficult for those who run LLMs to "fix" the technology. It's not just that "there aren't guard rails" the whole *premise* of the technology "use all of human text to create paragraphs that validate my prompt" is a bad. The problem is structural. We do not need the validation […]

"sideloading" is a stupid made up term invented to delegitimize installing software. Heres a bunch of other things I'm doing while "sidestepping" some supposed central authority: - sideshopping (buying stuff from a store that isn't amazon) - sidedining (eating or making food that isn't from […]

This feels like a very @SwiftOnSecurity story but I’m going to tell it. Chat bots (not just LLM driven) are surprisingly old. In the mid 90s, a mark up language for string-driven bots called AIML was released. A small community of early hackers and devs got really into it. I was part as a teen.

The only bad thing about #fedora upgrades is that my Gnome shell and GTK themes break every time.

I finally posted my pixel art planet shader on #godotshaders https://godotshaders.com/shader/animated-pixel-art-planet/ #godot #godotengine #pixelart #shaders #gamedev

I tried my Wacom tablet in a Fedora 42 live disk, and it worked much better than in my Fedora 41 install. So I updated to 42. Tablet still works the same after the upgrade 😭

Hey, Linux people: a LOT of folks are screaming off Windows right now. Be. Kind. To. Them. They don't know much yet, so they are going to ask really basic questions. If you're KIND, you might get some to give it a try and stick to it bc they know they can ask for help. If you're unkind, you're […]

So touching.

I finally ported across all my blog posts to my #gemlog. Gonna try to keep it up to date from now on. gemini://gemini.hyperlinkyourheart.com/gemlog.gmi #gemini #SmallWeb

Who exactly is running the scam here? #telegram

It's good to take breaks https://blog.hyperlinkyourheart.com/breaks

do any of you have organizations in your city that help people install Linux on old unused computers to give the hardware a new life? would love a link to their website! also curious about what people end up using the machines for in practice, especially if they’re used by non-programmers

Here's another one you might recognise. #gamedev #pixelart #godot #godotengine

We're doing gas giants now. #godot #godotengine #gamedev #pixelart

[iepol, drugs, hhc] Banning every substance that people enjoy using, or come to hate abusing, just pushes people towards more dangerous substances, criminality, and violence. I doubt there would be a significant market for synthetic cannabinoids if people could just buy and use cannabis freely […]

Did some shader experiments today. This is a combination of these two shaders, with some additions of my own: https://godotshaders.com/shader/animated-pixel-art-planet-shader/ https://godotshaders.com/shader/3d-pixelated-planet/ #godot #godotengine #gamedev #pixelart

It's pretty funny how you can be playing a blinder in #thealters and they'll still talk to you like you're a fuckup. Jan Commie challenged me to maintain the radiation shield for a few days without crunch as if it hadn't been online uninterrupted for over 30 days with 10 filters in reserve, and […]

[Art print self-promotion] There's 40% off everything in my InPRNT store at the moment, including my latest. https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/hyperlinkyourheart/ #pixelart #inprnt #artprint

I uploaded my most recent piece to Displate for a change - I gave up on them a long time ago because they do not understand #pixelart, but since it had been a while I decided to see if anything had changed. Not really as it turns out: it was approved, but deactivated almost immediately.

I had to share some information with my wife today, so I made a little website for her. You ever just make a little website? It is very satisfying to make a little website.
