I have scheduled the video SATURDAY GAMES FEST for tomorrow! See the games that the kiddos made. https://youtu.be/KPdz14haFik #gamedev #education #tic80

I will say in both my kids' gamedev classes this week, any time one of them brought up AI it was always with distain. ;>

Some images from students' projects yesterday. #tic80 #gamedev #education

For pride month, Ace Hardware should make their logo asexual flag colors instead of just the rainbow. I guarantee you us asexuals would go to the store. We may not even have a project, but we'll get into birding or building or something else for this month.

Greetings Programs!! We're back tonight working on @pidgin 3.0 Alpha 2! Come on by!! https://twitch.tv/rw_grim https://youtube.com/@rw_grim #Pidgin #opensource #livecoding

By @pluralistic “In feeding the fantasy of a world without people, AI serves the fantasy of a world without migrants. Unlike gastarbeiters, bracero fruit-pickers and Saudi quasi-slaves, AI makes no demands, requires no moral consideration, and does not attempt to germinate a culture, a cuisine […]

It is May 31, why are people blowing up fireworks?? #kansascity

Everyone talks about not having senior devs in the future because we’re replacing the juniors with LLMs, but nobody’s talking about losing senior devs now because people who are competent and care about the quality of their work are leaving this LLM-infested hellscape of a career path to go into […]

Working on my Getting Started with Game Development course page and lessons for this coming week. Once again using Tic80 and Lua to introduce kids grades 4 to 9 to programming. :) http://courses.moosadee.com/GameDevelopmentTic80/ #tic80 #lua #education #gamedev #compsci

Rai: Salts an apple. Me: Wow, that's weird. ... Me: Salts a watermelon. Rai: Wow, that's weird.

I need MUD client style programmability in all my applications. The ability to write scripts in response to Triggers (response to a regex match), Aliases (typing a command executes a script), and Timers. SMS? Social Media? Email? Let me script for everything.

#degooglingsummer - Got a Pixel phone (ugh) with Graphene OS on it. Getting it set up now. Going to try to not use Google Play - just use the browser and see how much I can get done. Installing F-Droid,

Look, I am certifiably old, I will always want the three buttons at the bottom of my phone screen, I don't want to memorize gestures to navigate apps. T-T

So if I release "DLC" for a game I made in 2008 can I get a bunch of news hype, too? 😇

This is why I shouldn't be allowed on thrift books unsupervised.

Morning Mastodon standup!!! - What did you do yesterday? - What are you going to do today? - Any blockers?

I downloaded a kids' firefighter game on my phone for my friend's 5 year old to play. Her dad passed last night and I'm over here commiserating. But, this firefighter game is in little stages with different activities - and there are ADS between each section. Tried downloading a Bootlicker Dog […]

In Yesterday's IO Keynote Google declared war on the remnants of the Web. While they packaged it as a lot of "AI" talk what their whole approach of decontextualizing information, of taking away links to sources and instead producing some LLM generated response means is that they want to […]

RE: https://tldr.nettime.org/@tante/116605858023186072 I wonder if we'll see a new term for "the web" that's somewhat like "the dark web". Something that marks the open web as unclean, unruly, dangerous, bad and only marks the LLM filtered version as desirable.

Now that the semester is (almost) over IRL I can get back to what I really want to be doing: Writing a history report on the Black Woe and finishing up the Catalogue of Memories for the Asterian Restoration in #achaea #mud xD

Fits on a Floppy: A Manifesto for Small Software https://fitsonafloppy.com/ « Software should be as small as it can be. Not as a gimmick, but as a discipline. The floppy disk is the measuring stick: 1.44 MB. If the software that ran entire businesses could fit in that space, then a modern […]

I played some Ultima Online on Majuular's player server today. I even met... "The Avatar"! Did make progress even though I was confused at first - nothing going on in Trinsic; Britain is where it's AT. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dvDLCU8aWA

Me gaining speech again after going nonverbal from sensory overload: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D-UmfqFjpl0

Sensory overload back up Rachel personality. 5 year old: WHICH OF THESE DO YOU THINK WILL GO HIGHER? (When he throws them in the air) Tired Rachel mode: Well what so the outcome you're hoping to find from performing this experiment? 5 year old: 🤨 (goes to somebody else)

Friend's 5 year old: because flowers are for girls. Me: Flowered existed before humans.

Through the magic of ✨ emacs ✨ and purposeful planning, I've converted my courses this semester from the webpage form (which we used throughout the semester) to PDF form, so all the course content can be backed up in one place. Emailing it out to my […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Bitches want FLIP PHONES with GOOD SPECS and GRAPHENE OS as the default operating system. ... It's me, I'm bitches.

Got a couple slightly more expensive fountain pens so I'll see how they do vs. my Preppy fountain pens. Together these two were $35, but this is a tool I heavily use so it'd be nice to have something that doesn't leak. (Only one of my Preppy fountain pens is leaking and I don't know why).

If the Gopher protocol had won over HTTP then the Canvas LMS hack could have been avoided. In this essay I will --

Maybe this summer I'll actually get around to degooglifying my email

"This AI can perform all these tasks for me!" The people yearn for bash scripts and APIs.

Released as a single humongous monolithic pull request within a week since opening, the kind of ad-hoc, uncoordinated, trigger-happy, just-because-we-can attitude of the #bun "LLM Rust rewrite" is so symbolic of the cultural shift many people & orgs are undergoing, where their focus has moved […]

I need to make some business cards that just link to my itchio, or a set of business cards for a specific game to hand out.

I don't pay for subscription software, I stopped my subscription to Netflix long ago. I pay for my droplet. I do some patreon payments. I do some regular donations to Spectra Video (I should up it) and now Codeberg. I will NEVER spend $20 - $100 or even more PER MONTH to WRITE CODE. Or have a […]

Watching a Scott the Woz video compilation and he's talking about those old subscription box things like Loot Crate. I haven't thought about subscription boxes in so long. What's the word for the opposite of a "recession indicator"? Cuz having money to dump on subboxes was very "back then" coded.

I've done absolutely no gardening this year but the Rhubarb is completely fine.

My friend's 18 year old snap chatted me a selfie of her while I was at the grocery store so I've sent her a full photo record of my process. For example ... 😂

Haven't seen Internet of Bugs guy in a while, last post was 3 weeks ago?

Lots of grading so far today. Time for a nap break. 😌 Then back to grading. 😔

I set up a $6/mo payment to Codeberg. That's what I pay for my droplet, that seems like about the price I am happy paying for a utility I use quite frequently, which requires hosting (thus the regular payments).

Sigh I'm going to have to change my website again over the summer... Moosadee currently redirects to a gitlab page. :P It's FINE.

Should I make all my Moos-a-dee games some sort of GPL license?

Migrating my main Moos-a-dee game projects to Codeberg since basically everything I do is CopyLeft or otherwise open source. Gonna set up donations, too. Might leave GitLab storing the less-important, cluttery repositories. :) https://codeberg.org/moosadee
