Was watching a buddy play a little Expedition 33, and saw him pick up a new hairstyle for a character, and I asked "Does hair affect your stats, or is it just cosmetics?" Turns out it's the latter, but what if it was the former?

There is a post circulating on Bluesky encouraging the moving of a frozen turkey straight into a pot of hot oil. We are combating this misinformation the best way we know how - through the power of dance music.

I took a little wistful stroll down memory lane by rewatching @jazzyboho.bsky.social 's amazing documentary "Earthbound USA". Like the games it was inspired by, it has the power "to <turn> kids into adults, and adults into kids." earthboundusa.com

Any of my friends doing React, Vite, and SCSS/Sass? Allison Higgins is doing a project that is meant to help make food banks and other resources for those during our shutdown (and after it) more discoverable and accessible. https://github.com/AllisonMH/food-sea... /microblog/food-bank-project.html

Spent the last two days @allthingsopen.bsky.social - was a wonderful opportunity to meet new folks, reconnect with old friends and colleagues, and to remember why I love this community of open source.

I'm unreasonably stoked for this project. A way to take your social media and platform takeout data and view it in the way it was made - in a timeline. timelinize.com

Over the weekend, I did my first data recovery of a failed NVMe drive. I wrote up a little post outlining the story. codywilson.co/posts/nvme-d...

Do you like dealing with dollars and cents? Do you like making sure companies are doing things the smooth and smart way? Do you like working with absolutely chill fantastic folks that love video games? Check out this job post!

I love this. I'm often a busy person. Lots going on, often lost in my own little world, working on things for $dayjob, or side projects, or spending time with my partner. But every time I'm invited to do something, even if I rarely say yes, I feel thought of. Counted. sharif.io/anna-alexei

Hack Club, a very cool non-profit community that teaches kids to make cool stuff with tech got a surprise notice that their long-standing non-profit discount is over, that they needed to pay $50k this week to keep access to their data, with a future rate of $200k/yr. skyfall.dev/posts/slack

It's the final countdown! In 2 days, I'll launch my free, instructor-led course "Basic Linux System Administration"! I'll broadcast it live on Twitch, YouTube and Owncast. Sign up here: mspc.sh/free-linux-c... (Please boost to help me reach more people who could benefit from this course.)

@pizzahotline.bsky.social Hey, just stumbled across you from a random YT rec for a MOTORSLICE video, and now I'm falling in love with your tunes! I'd like to start playing around with some of that PS1 era sound, curious if you have any recommendations or guidance for sound design from that era?

@brian.dev Hey Brian! Had been following your work with Incus and incus-compose for a while, but recently saw that the repo (and the Community Scripts port) were archived. Wanted to pick your brain - have you abandoned Incus as a deployment platform? Curious on your thoughts as to why.

Would any of my streamer friends be interested in checking out a buck wild Roguelike with 10 years of cool updates made by a good bucko indie dev? I'd love to buy you a copy. LMK!

My buddy Jim's fantastic classic Roguelike Dungeonmans has a new summer themed content update coming out, with all new accessibility options, daily seeded challenge dungeons, and even more silly shenanigans.

Gorta gu Frasss!

If you missed last week's talk from @sparklebliss.bsky.social abt AMERICAN GIRL DOLLS and the games they play, you catch it now on our YouTube 🤗 youtu.be/MD6pb-DcsMY?...

Hello just wanted to say: Public media is a useful public good. It is a source of great local news at a time when local news is being decimated. Also, in my 10 years in public media, I can say people who work here do it because they believe in the mission of informing people. Just noting.

Just throwing this out there - is someone sitting on a rackmounted machine with a pile of GPUs they could donate over to the Internet Archive? There's a lot of details in that but I'd be interested in finding out - GPUs are definitely needed. (Transcription, Classification, etc.)

Not every day you meet the iconic comedian behind the world's most famous joke

This is going in my digital toolbox. Got an image where you're counting difficult to separate objects visually and losing track because you don't have a way to bookmark where you're at? I know I have a difficult amount to count times. calvin.sh/tools/dot-co...

Let’s go!

@roborobmusic.bsky.social thank you for bringing @realguldukat.bsky.social to my attention. The right kind of satire I didn't know I needed.

The news is overwhelming. Grateful for @rainbowyouth.bsky.social whose crisis line REMAINS OPEN to ALL who need it today. Please share widely. Note: the graphic indicates CA but the line is available NATIONWIDE.

Nothing like a simultaneous outage of multiple public cloud providers to remind you that the centralization of the internet has made for a fundamentally weaker design.

yeah i hate doing this, but i have to ask for help gofund.me/baadf4af

Just when I think I have a handle on the story, @supplicegame.bsky.social goes and does a juke. Episode 4 was an absolute treat. Excited for what comes next, and I return to waiting for the next nugget of updates drop.

Makers, crafty folks, etc, I'm curious - I've got some really blue LEDs on some equipment that are really annoyingly bright, especially at night. Any tips on how I can dull them?

My deep dive into Cyberpunk 2077, it's awesome radio stations, and a little spark from a buddy of mine are encouraging me to explore running personal Internet radio stations. Complete with station ID bumpers and maybe goofy commercials.

For the first time in what feels like a long time, I've been sucked into a long form video game - Cyberpunk 2077. The folks that said that it is a very good game are right. Parallels between Night City and today do be wildin, but at least I've got good chooms.

Romchip uploaded their fundraising livestream, featuring the WonderTools Cruiser (and my loaned Pentium). Check it out for one of the silliest video game controllers ever made! youtu.be/DcaPMi6Sw5k

We need a rise in the voices of techno-realists GenAI is the hypiest tech I’ve seen in my career – and that’s saying something. Because of all the noise it generates, we need to hear from more grounded, pragmatic voices. Techno realists, unite!

I've converted the bitmap font of the original model TRS-80 into a True Type font. It includes both the text and blocky "graphic" mode. Get it and over 500 other computer and video game fonts here: www.thealmightyguru.com/Wiki/index.p... #TRS80 #TRS-80 #Tandy #8bit #TTF #font #fonts #bitmapfont

Jellyfin definitely has some weirdness with how it does a few things but all in all I like it better than Plex. I’ll be cutting over the rest of the family to it this weekend.

I'm having a cathartic moment unfollowing people on Twitter, but I couldn't unfollow Dick DeBartolo, MAD's Maddest Writer. In the earliest of days on Twitter (around 2006), I followed Dick, and expressed concern when I was worried about a tornado threat in my area.

Announcing TORMENT HEXUS, a match-3 roguelike about putting technofascist CEOs on the wrong side of skyscraper windows! Please spread the word, and wishlist on Steam at store.steampowered.com/app/3238420/... And remember: they SHOULD be afraid of us. #indiedev #indiegame

I keep wanting to watch the new season of Black Mirror but honestly, I don't think I need a show that makes me more depressed about the future.

I'm finally giving Jellyfin a spin after Plex announced their price increases, and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed. Unless I find some real bad footguns, I expect I'll be switching over to it for media serving over the next few weeks.

Any VGM cover artists using Soundrop seeing delays in covers getting approved? Curious if there's a breakdown here, or if this is a unique to this producer problem.

how do i say i'm open for sound design commissions? just like this? anyway, pay me to make your silly little noises

@swiftonsecurity.com I can't find the thread anymore, but I wanted to thank you for sharing your story the other day. I came for the memes back in the early days, but I've stayed because you're real smart, cool, funny bean. I'm thankful that you're here and doing your thing.

'Bluesky has overtaken its flailing rival X in hosting posts related to new academic research, indicating the platform is fast becoming the go-to place for scholars to share their work.'

Happy Rex Manning Day to all who celebrate.

Hey folks. I hate to whine but I kind of urgently need some work - if you know anybody seeking graphics, I'd appreciate a good word. Thank you.
