Oh geez, I was going crazy trying to update my #archlinux file server, only to realize ArchZFS.com repo's were considered deprecated end of 2024. 🤯Update your #zfs arch repo if you haven't already. ramsdenj.com/posts/2024-1...

Littke something to pin on Insta after the wave of A/I slop from this weekend

I just broke my clavicle over the weekend. I need a solid recommendation for a voice to text tool on #Linux. I basically need to be able to dictate into any text field in any application. Currently running #nixos but can easily run a flatpak or app image. Mixed results with Handy so far. I'll be tes

Attention, #UnrealEngine developers! Rider's expression evaluator has been rewritten, and the results are 🤯: 📍 Variable inspection is 87x faster on warm runs and 16x faster on cold ones. 📍 Debugger memory usage is over a third of what it was. Get the full story 👉 jb.gg/rd-261-new-l...

When looking at cooking minigames, I love how Palia has down theirs. However, there is a constant complaint that it’s extremely difficult. I wanted to mimic it in our game but I think we will step back, look at different games for inspiration. What game do you think has the best cooking minigame?

#Godot 4.6 is out, and all about your flow! This release puts you and your workflow first with a new theme, flexible docks, and dozens of UX improvements. And Jolt Physics by default, revamped IK, better reflections, and more. Less wrestling with UI. More making games. godotengine.org/releases/4.6

Hard references can really slow down your editor, your game, your life. Omid's plugin can help solve this. Check out his (https://twitter.com/heyomidk/status/1646372849144446976) explaining how to get started. https://github.com/heyomidk/HardReferenceFinder #UnrealEngine

I really do adore ❤️ gameuidatabase.com. It is an amazing resource; the amount of love and skill that has poured into it is clear to see. #Gaming #UI #Design #UIDesign #GamingUI #GameDev #Frontend #UIDev

@eddcoates.bsky.social Searching Game UI Database for *legal* screens, seems annoying. No types/categories on EULA, Age Gate, Epilepsy, TOS, etc? Found /some/ EULAs on Updates, News & Notifications. Not a great classification IMO. Cool database! Can't imagine the effort involved.

This bill by a Washington State Democratic legislator would prevent any law enforcement agency in the state from hiring anyone employed as a sworn ICE officer after January 20, 2025. A good start, I say. Make them outcasts.

I just watched the shooting video. It's a horrific beating and execution in the middle of the street. If local and state officials don't move to arrest everyone involved for murder, they need to resign. Making arrests will de-escalate the situation. Do nothing and this is going to explode.

an ICE agent shot and killed a woman for no reason and the entire apparatus of the U.S. government was marshaled to protect him from a single consequence. why would any ICE agent hesitate to kill again.

Crazy that the party that spent 45 years telling Americans that their government was their enemy are the ones who finally made it come true.

We are calling our senators right now and demanding that they vote no on the omnibus with DHS funding We are explicitly mentioning ICE’s murder in cold blood of a man on the streets of Minneapolis this morning

I really don’t want to train tonight which means I probably should anyways.

@dominos-pizza.bsky.social All of your coupons for a single pizza favor a large pizza, however your parmesan crust only comes in medium, and I want a specialty pizza. I'm not paying $30 for a Wisconsin 6 cheese parmesan. Fix your coupons yo. Guess we're eating somewhere else, again.

I don't speak for Renee, but I doubt she's resting in peace until her murderer and organization and leadership behind this are brought to justice. What are you doing, Governor Walz, to help? What are Democrats doing, besides fumbling over and over again? Our democracy has been dying.

I don't understand how adults function without going crazy. My backlog of current and stale tasks is 194. That includes a bit of overlap with 358 ongoing and backlogged future tasks. Tracked on ToDoist. I have hundreds of others tasks on Google Keep, & Obsidian Kanban. It's too much. Ahhhh.

@dominos-pizza.bsky.social Limiting your coupons to Medium+ pizzas, while small-only #glutenfree crust costs full price, is ableist. People can get large specialty pizzas for $16 or less, but I have to pay more than $24 for a *small* gluten free specialty pizza. Outrageous. Please be inclusive.

Today I realized VSCode has nicely readable code regions in its minimap. Conversely, #CodeGlancePro for #Rider has terribly tiny region text in a gaudy green color in its minimap. I spent some time trying to figure out how to improve it, almost emailed the author for help... [1/2]

When an Unreal 5.3+ game runs, it will immediately kick off precompilation of global shaders. You should wait for that to complete before starting the game, otherwise you'll likely get hitches. You do that with the NumPrecompilingPSOsRemaining node. #uetips

I've been wondering why my #Windows computer locks up every so often for at least 5 seconds for the last year. Since I have had a #Lenovo Vantage software pop-up coinciding with every single last few, I now suspect that's the problem this whole time, checking the bios for updates. ✊ #lenovovantage

TIL, #linux has a couple cli #downloader options that are faster than wget like Axel. Axel wasn't that much faster than #wget for me, so then I found aria2; much more powerful and reliable, and faster too: github.com/aria2/aria2 And it's available in Linux software repos like Debian. Niice.

If they bail out the tech companies despite every programmer and analyst I know (including myself) repeatedly pointed out the flaws of this technology, I will lose my mind.
