Having a small idea for a static website and forgetting how to do the whole typescript song and dance -.- I hate modules and the completly ass errors you get "Sorry you used the bleep module; that means you now need to include a part of the bible and all your import names have to rhyme with orange"

Having a small idea for a static website and forgetting how to do the whole typescript song and dance -.- I hate modules and the completly ass errors you get "Sorry you used the bleep module; that means you now need to include a part of the bible and all your import names have to rhyme with orange"

And then you resolve that and get a "well akshualy your imports also have to use specific file endings which might not even exist due to how you added the dependencies". Every other website about how to solve your problem tells you to do it by using node and your own server.

Looking at an old project to remember how to do this all without a lot of setup pain and going "ah yeah, just use bun to bundle everything" and lo and behold it works. Now I can get to being bad at geometry, aka the fun part of this idea.

I do wonder if "we have no moat" ever registered with any C-level executive to a meaningful degree. If you use the slopper for a big chunk of your million dollar business, how do you act all suprised when people just use the slopper themselves instead of giving you money?

One of the advantages you would have is something like skill, but there is not really that much skill involved in slopping, at least not to the degree that you can't automate the slop machine by adding another layer on top that tunes some hyperparameter or some AI agent that does whatever.

Hello, I am a company that makes its money through the sale of media. I would like to be able to use all of your work for free to train an AI and generate large parts of the media I am selling. If however you are ever to use 'my' work to do the same, I will send a squad to your home. XOXO

More games should have flat color backgrounds in their promo material. I really wanted to have more action like the donut county characters but after fighting with affinity about masking (I forgot to deselect something on a pixel layer) I was not in the mood to make some some fine cutouts.

still not sure how to feather a mask correctly btw but it worked good enough for a 10 minute thumbnail I suppose. I can't blame my lack of skills in affinity not on a switch over from photoshop because I had none with that either lol

I think from the demos so far Puppy Truck and Mr Records were my favorites, not that I did not enjoy the others, but I guess nowadays I am more on the market for games I can play casually and come back to whenever without forgetting plot or control scheme.

I haven’t slept a full night in three weeks ahead of the polls opening in Brazil today. I might be shouting into a void here, but if you can spare a few seconds to send good energy towards our elections today and for the largest country in South America to beat fascism, please do so. 🇧🇷

Promise made, promise kept. Go read about the games and demos I enjoyed and the ones I did not enjoy. I left out 500 Finger Fillet and Casualties: Unknown because while I did technically play them, I did not last for more than like 5 minutes in each before not going further.

stupidcomputer.neocities.orgDemo and Sale Roundup 1In the recent autumn Steam sale I got a bunch of games (also aseprite in the foolish thought I may use pixel art in a future game so that I do not need to use any more van Gogh paintings), and in the current Steam Nextfest I played a couple of demos. Because even taken together the ones I completed so far were relatively small, this here blog post is going to be a round-up of those games and demos.

Probably gonna do a small writeup of the #nextfest demos I have played so far, as an apology to myself that Wider Der Technologiehörigkeit is still in draft hell (but with like 1k more words that need a second pass).

I just randomly remembered the Wagner guy who marched on Moskau because of the war (iirc he did not like his guys dying in a meat grinder), then got cold feet before getting there, turning around, and dying later because of something like a grenade in his plane. Just a top plotline for a side story.

So here we have far-right militia attacking protestors and when the protestors defend themselves, the police charges them... Montpellier. These images are crazy and show where France is at regarding its fascist turn.

Les militants fascistes ont attaqués des manifestants rue de la Loge sous les yeux de la police, quand les manifestants ont répliqués, la police a chargé pour les protéger et les miliciens ont frappés les gens à terre ! #Montpellier #24octobre #ViolencesPolicieres @info.gouv.fr

I have agressively kept away from all the idle and vampire survivor likes while hitting that ignore button on ai slop earlier this week. Also some kinda dissapointing insights about games I thought I might enjoy but which ultimately were not hitting my taste (amongst them queens domain)

So wie sich die Rechts+Konservativen Kräfte vor RRG und den Protesten in Frankreich einscheißen muss das nächste Woche eskalieren und wenn nur auf Seite 3 der Bild einen Tag später weil ähnlich zu den FFF Protesten die Realität weniger spektakulär war als erhofft.

Wie viel Vermischung von ordentlich angemeldeten Protesten und einem brennenden Mülleimer woanders werden wir in den Medien erleben? Und wie häufig werden irgendwelche Polizeisprecher und co. was von migrantisierter gewalt faseln ohne dass der journalist mal laut lacht und geht?

You have to laugh at the sheer insanity of Turning Point UK being found to be organising literal contract killings and paid agitation at protests up and down the country and it barely even raises a flicker across the press. If that isn't 'terrorism' on some level I don't really know what is

Need more styling and wiring, but the config is now saved and has its own change dialog because I will never add a second page to this project it is all gonna be just one main thing and everything else will be dialogs. Next up: tooltips.

Like, to have a meaningful debate, you require at least two participants who: - know a lot about the subject - have some common values about the purpose of the debate - hold conflicting positions on the subject - but do not hold those positions particularly strongly

Bluesky's new link feature seemingly blocking links when they lead to websites with adult content is kinda hilarious. Like, are we gonna block bluseky links too then? Because I have seen quite the amount of adult content on here (mostly because I went looking for it)

Link shorteners (I do not mean tree or card, I mean bitsly) or scam sides I get, but wdym fansly or onlyfans link aren't allowed? (You can still add them via other means, the block is an appview thing afaik but it still is really dumb)

Didn't get shit done today, I am gonna blame the php thing for that, no matter if it's true. Here is to me locking tf in tomorrow and somehow finishing "Wider der Technologiehörigkeit" because I need that draft out of my mind to do other things.

Will I be able to explain everything in the best way and completly clearly? Nope, but that is life baby. And I wanted to let go of the procrastinating + perfectionism combo, so it is either that or no blog post.

I'm out here sweating in the theory mines, discussing gender and race and tech, and these chucklefucks just tweet it out.

The first genuinely honest ad for generative AI I've ever seen, from Microsoft / CoPilot A mediocre white guy sees his non-white colleague getting praised for good work, he asks AI to *literally copy it*, and then he gets all the praise instead: www.ispot.tv/ad/SoDi/micr...

Season 2 of Edgerunners hit differently than the first, but in a good way. It has all the ingredients a Cyberpunk story in Night City needs but makes a different kind of meal.

People should not be allowed to manage memory by hand is my take on all of this. Memory should be an ephemeral being that exists on some abstract layer, and the moment you try to manage it yourself, you get banned from using a computer.

I say this as someone who, the last time that I used C in a project, forgot to correctly free some memory and wondered why my small game-tree was suddenly using 4 GB of RAM.

It's fine, computers are good enough for garbage collection beyond reference counting now, we do not need to have world-ending bugs every few years because of memory management anymore.

The bad news: my sleep schedule has become a bit wonkey again, so I get up like an hour later than I want to. The good news: This weekend we switch to winter time and the problem solves itself by me continuing with the current sleep schedule. I will learn nothing from this.

Habe es lange geschafft mich wenig mit der Person auseinanderzusetzen und das Interview zeigt mir dass ich zumindest in den letzten 5+ Jahren nicht wirklich was verpasst habe deswegen. Universaler feminismus aber selektiv ist schon witzig iwi.
