  @afreytes yeah if you already have a good, recent PC that you bought/built out, you're fine just throwing steam with big picture mode on there. It'll be a less console-y experience but that's pretty minor.

  reasons mastodon's "viral dampening effect" is a good thing: 👉🏻 no "main character of the day" 👉🏻 no free text searching for people to get angry at (and harrass) 👉🏻 doomscrolling is *actually bad for you* and not a thing we should be trying to replicate 👉🏻 birdsite's virality is heavily driven by actual paid advertising and bots. You think that "Explore" tab gets its content organically? really? That's not making connecti...

  my migration from this instance to @zkat@fedi.zkat.tech seems to have frozen, and my followers have stopped migrating. Anyone know how to get this unstuck? The latter is a GTS instance. Boosts welcome!

  The thing that kills me about all this is that after years of building up kind/human/caring community around me, ppl I appreciated because of those traits suddenly drop all semblance of caring about them because.... they have the perception of coding a bit better/faster. That's all it took. I'll say it straight: you can't voluntarily and willingly use LLMs in a way that's aligned with respect for marginalized folks, with respect for the environment, with respect for labor issues...

  RE: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@eniko/116433054140983153 This is a good game and you should buy it. “Mario 3 with lesbians” doesn’t even do it justice. It would be amazing even if it wasn’t Mario 3

  @bobulous btw I was surprised yesterday when I ran into a chute crab just... in the wild, on the surface. A lone chute crab just hangin' out.

  some nerd: "I just want to have a discussion about LLM use in your project" me: "this is not the place to be having that discussion. I have already established a boundary" some nerd: "I am offended that you are not having this discussion right here, on my terms" fuck you, this is my own damn repo this is literally on one of the 1 or 2 open source projects I'm still willing to maintain at any level. Just absolutely not giving me any reason to keep doing open so...

  dear lazyweb: a couple of years ago I ran into a really fantastic html/css very-beginner tutorial that I thought was amazing. It really went step by step and it was done by this guy who I think had accessibility needs and thus taught that part too? Does anyone know what I'm talking about? EDIT: Thanks to @eramdam. The answer was https://htmlforpeople.com

  RE: https://hachyderm.io/@petrillic/116337502667369228 I can’t have a conversation with any genAI boosters that is remotely productive precisely because of this.

  RE: https://mastodon.publicinterest.town/@b_cavello/116338207761349739 @b_cavello there are things that we can only make incremental progress on divesting from (coal, oil, cars, non-renewable energy, most plastics) because we’ve already made immensely costly errors in the past that make them largely unavoidable for many people. GenAI is different in that it’s completely avoidable, right now, and we are well positioned to simply… not let it happen. There may be a world where the technologies in...

  for those who have been keeping up, looks like the MiSTeR patch that added save state support to SNES finally landed, which means the Analogue Pocket can now port it, and it looks like agg23 is actually up for doing it? So my Pocket might be unbricked soon! https://github.com/agg23/openfpga-SNES/issues/59#issuecomment-4156810871

  idk if other trans folks experience this, too, but I find that I have a pretty hard time picking "pretend" names for games now, compared to before. I always just call myself "Kat" in every game that asks for a name. Sometimes I'll use the name I used to use for my "female selfsona" in the past?

  RE: https://mastodon.social/@arstechnica/116325367243779659 a proposal: spin up a claude agent that will take this codebase in chunks as context and rewrite it "clean-room" and launder it into an open source project licensed under GPL do you think they'll be cool with that? Probably, right? EDIT: I spoke too soon. Someone already did it, and they're working on a Rust port: https://github.com/instructkr/claw-code

  RE: https://toot.cat/@zkat/116302181567094649 Just gonna boost this up to the TL cause I think there's a conversation to be had about how much genAI centers around people desperately wanting the ability to be deceitful, and their need to defend it lest they lose their powers of deception.
