If you use GitHub (especially if you pay for it!!) consider doing this *immediately* Settings -> Privacy -> Disallow GitHub to train their models on your code. GitHub opted *everyone* into training. No matter if you pay for the service (like I do). WTH github.com/settings/cop...

Second blog post, integrating "Dear ImGui" in my #swiftlang project. No wasm build this time, only native (but I keep the wasm one in my mind for later 👀). carette.xyz/posts/swift_...

I received some criticisms on my Swift + C blog post, how "it is easy to integrate C in #Swift, but not #C++, even a small code base!". So, I integrated #ImGui (not cimgui, but the C++ project) in my Swift project. It took me 10 minutes. I guess I should start a new blog post 😎 #swiftlang

New blog post, integrating #raylib in a #swiftlang project :) Bonus point: #wasm build at the end! I hope you will enjoy it :) carette.xyz/posts/swift_...

Any good podcast about #swiftlang #programming experience to recommend please? If possible without propaganda about AI Agents crap, not my thing (and most probably never will). Thanks in advance! #swift

Interesting to see all those testing videos about the MacBook Neo. Seems a pretty decent laptop for students and parents. I am pretty sure I would love this unix-like laptop at university, with great battery life and build quality. Good move from Apple to enter that door (especially now).

Rappel que je cherche désespérément un job en tant qu'administrateur système. Je sais que le marché est compliqué mais je prends beaucoup de plaisir dans ce domaine, j'y passe des journées à suivre des tutos et tester des trucs. Nancy et alentours, Metz, Luxembourg... Engagez-moi 😟

Again, I cannot emphasize enough: do not go to the US even if you're privileged enough to have never been scared or worried of a border crossing in you're life. Do not go ESPECIALLY for something as optional & outrageously expensive as GDC. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

All menus and transitions are done for « Good Luck, Mr Bong! », my #playdate game :) The puzzle assets need to be replaced. However I don’t want to work on that until I have finished the puzzle design phase. Here is a GIF! Release in May / June 2026 🤞 #screenshotSaturday #indiegame #gamedev

> "currently the President of Microsoft’s CoreAI product" Lol. I guess only Microsoft can kill a Microsoft product as fast.

I can't convey with words how utterly revolting is to find your own work regurgitated by genAI. Left: Owl Witch, watercolour, 2021. Right: ..whatever that is

Interesting to see « overcompensation theory » applied for countries. As an example, we got the idea that men buy big cars to compensate for their small… y’know. But #America has been doing this for decades! Look at the number of movies where they save the world!!!

Seems like @arstechnica.com is actually using AI (despite their promise to not use it…) for their articles. As a result, they misquoted a person, with full of hallucinations. You lost a reader guys, kuddos 👏 Link of the post: infosec.exchange/@mttaggart/1...

After a long rest, I finally got back to #gamedev. I did program half of the puzzles, and I made very deep changes to handle some #game mechanics. Also... I added a menu screen, options, saves, and some "monitor glitch" effects, as you "see" the game through a webcam. #screenshotsaturday #playdate

Donnez un exercice simple de jeu à faire sur Python à vos élèves : et vous verrez que lorsqu'ils n'utilisent pas l'IA, chaque programmeur a son propre style. Quand ils l'utilisent, tous les codes sont uniformes et se ressemblent. Même dans le code et la logique, le style personnel s'exprime !

Solidarity! #gamedev #games

GOBLiiNS6 - The retro classic GOBLiiiNS are back with a brand new game! #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

I don't think anything is more exciting to me than a whole 2010-"fuck it, this is cool/important to me, we're making it"-coded indie game, made by a team-up of two of the most notable indie devs still standing of their dinstinct waves of indie devs, over what is basically a decade of work.

This is… not… what I expected ^^’

It feels strange to me that vibecoders are considering themselves « developers ». Developers solve problems, but vibecoders do not. They guide, and a product (built on real devs work) tries to solve it. As a reminder, you do not train your body watching athlets on TV.

« They just don’t know it yet » lol Make good laptops first, then speak about something you have no clue dude… what a jerk.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back to a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.” IT SAVES PUBLIC MONEY to house people.

I got my new UI up and running! It has general upgrades + skill tree #gamedev #godot #indiedev

Made by @redartgames.bsky.social btw! Kuddos for this excellent work guys 👏👏👏

You know what it means : do not buy Motorola phones.

I'm still writing code the hard way. I'm slow. I like to think critically about every line of code and fiddle with variable names until everything looks right. I treat code as a liability and try to ship only what's necessary. It's hard to imagine writing code any other way.

Those LLM things, and I include everything in it, are built on top of what is culture today (and not only). Many people, who barely makes a living, have been stolen to build those stuff. And, now, they should "move on" to something else before being replaced... ? #LLM for Lacking Legitimate Morals.

Still amazed that the LLM chatbots founders (Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, ...) are still not in prison for having violated IP laws. Aaron Swartz, a brilliant programmer, was threatened of 35y of prison for 1000x less than that. He did that for fair access to Science. He took his life 14y ago. Sad.

A good small documentary from @cultrepo.bsky.social about builders and early-adopters of Local-First #software, and how people fight to take back control of our data. Very interesting, especially at that moment... www.youtube.com/watch?v=10d8...

The current movie poster that deserves the "visionary" attached to the screenwriter name... "Ça va mal finir". #CivilWar

And they claimed "technology for good" he... A new proof that EU should just ditch all those US tech and go full Europe.

Hmm. Alex Garland is right with its "Civil War" movie actually. I can't wait for the movie ending... 🍿

Good morning! Fuck ice!

No #screenshotsaturday today, the flu got me this week 🤧 ​BUT, I’ve officially finished designing all 40 levels for my #playdate game "Good Luck Mr Bong". The goal? Puzzles that teach the player exactly what to do without a single word of explanation. ​Next week: level programming! #gamedev

Hey #gamedev community! Do you have good alternatives for Reddit, EU-based gamedev communities? I heard about Mastodon since years but the project author has quit the project last year if my souvenirs are correct... I am not against US tools at all, but based on current tech situation... Thanks!

I still can't believe how many surprises Tunic has in its bytes. This game is fascinating! Is there any good interview of Andrew Shouldice about how he developed the design and the gameplay of Tunic? I found one on YouTube, but I would prefer as a "podcast format"...

Salut @kocobe.fr! J'ai un peu tiqué sur le "bourgeois" dans le dernier #SOJ concernant la playdate. J'ai économisé des mois par passion pour m'offrir cette console, c'est loin d'être un caprice de riche! 😉 Hâte qu'on revienne aux jeux de la semaine plutôt qu'au jugement des auditeurs. Sans rancune!

On another note, I finally played #Tunic while recovering from the flu. If you haven’t tried this gem yet, I highly recommend it. This game is absolutely fantastic. Huge thanks to everyone who worked on it, near or far. Tunic is now my favorite game of all time.

[AI bubble bursts] billionaire tech bro: the stupid consumer did not understand it

We are the 23th of January and the social app X is still not deleted from the App Store and Play Store, for allowing (child) sexual image generation via Grok. Very very disappointed by #Apple and #Google on that. There is no other excuse than just a "lack of balls". Fuck you both. Sincerely.

Some good progress on my #playdate game: I experimented processing images using #dithering, included a #player selection (and level difficulties) at start, improved the crank rotations, and added animations support (like teleports) and a particle system. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev
