A bunch of people who primarily distribute their code through GitHub are for some reason very upset about Codeberg today.

Trying to learn programming in Australia is actual ball torture. #fuckeSafetyComission #programming #dev #U16Ban

And an American, Not that those are related. But yk.

I did send an inquiry if they could just look at the page, And see if it is fine for my poor eyes. Though with this sort of auto response. I assume all communications have been closed since they mandated ID harvesting.

If it's ever a slow news day @news.abc.net.au can you cover this one?

This is the face of somebody who does not understand technology enough to be setting out the rules for it.

I've noticed that most of the pro AI twitter accounts, Especially those with blue ticks mostly joined in 2023.

I would give anything to experience the pure thrill of a Scholastic Book Fair just one more time.

I had a thought, And honestly I don't do that often. But how about instead of these monolithic AI models that can do everything, We focus more on mini modular models that are really good at a specific task? And then have like a good harness that allows for cross communication.

17 July

If one more AI bro trys to tell me that I'm not a "real programmer" just to follow up with calling Language Servers AI. I might flip.

17 July

They also told me that I've never worked on a project with more than one page of code, Which I have no idea what that means. So I assumed it was a language barrier. But nope, They American. I think I got another larp software developer on my hands.

If you haven't already, I would highly recommend setting up like a little home lab. Not for anything serious, But like just get a few apps up on like a Raspberry Pi or something. So much fun, I got a Forgejo instance up. Which is like hella light btw.

Has any country tried fighting the monopoly Google has over DRM yet?

27 May

I really need to work on my site again, Because what do you mean the GitLab link points to the GitLab home page instead of my profile 😭

25 May

The way I see it, C++ & Rust for production ready apps. C for fun.

Was watching the new Theo video and he was talking about how big the code base is in terms of fixing some of the issues with GitLab and he followed it with "You are not going to vibe code your way out of that one" 😭

I know that it's going to be done to death, But Create Aeronautics actually so inspiring. Need to add "Building Minecraft from scratch in C++ but Create and add-ons is natively built in"

Nobody steal this idea btw, I don't think it's original anyway. But if somebody tells me that I'm copying some voxel game that you do decide to make, We have the posts to prove otherwise 😌

Using an assembler is still probably the better method anyway.

I know that it's going to be done to death, But Create Aeronautics actually so inspiring. Need to add "Building Minecraft from scratch in C++ but Create and add-ons is natively built in"

If I was to do this though I wonder how I'd handle physics. Two methods that come to mind, first one is opt-in like how Aeronautics does it. Second one is opt-out using like an anchor crystal.

Meaning blocks not connected to the world (within a certain mass, I'm not that good of a dev) would have physics. But then using like anchor crystals you could lock blocks in place. Allowing for magical sky islands to still naturally spawn or for you to anchor your own build.

I know that it's going to be done to death, But Create Aeronautics actually so inspiring. Need to add "Building Minecraft from scratch in C++ but Create and add-ons is natively built in"

I definitely think this would be a indefinite dream game of mine. Like making my own Minecraft clone but instead of recreating Minecraft or classic Minecraft I'd try and recreate like all the mods Modpack or something.

That being said I've still not finished my website, so who knows when that would actually happen 😔

The fact Roblox is pushing this without providing API's or a way to opt-out is a very Modern Roblox thing to do. #roblox #robloxdev

I forgot about my website again 😕

I love tech, Just hate everything corporations and the government are doing with it.

12 Apr

If governments actually cared about children, They would be mandating parental controls. Not age verification.

10 Apr

I think as a developer if you make an always online game, And have plans on shutting it down, You should take reasonable steps into making sure your game can be self hosted or playable offline.

10 Apr

Like making the server available and adding just some sort of server browser is the bare minimum.

I do have a bigger project planned for this little controller. But that is for a future data 🤫

thecasualdev@thecasual.dev

Spent a decent chunk of today translating C code to gd script. Been a decent learning experience as someone who has not touched C, It feels a little uncanny and I wont be able to call it a success until I know jumping and crouching work.

Starter Kit: Racing for @godotengine.org is releasing next week! Open-source and great as a base for your racing game using my well-known sphere ball technique. It might be a little rough around the edges but I really want to finally release this ✨

Obviously nothing ground breaking, Plenty of Source in Godot projects exist. But I think that is what makes it an even greater learning experience because when shit hits the fun you know other people have had the same issue and somehow figured it out.

codeberg.orggd-sourceMy attempt at creating the Gold Source controller in Godot :D

GoldSrc Source: github.com/ValveSoftwar... My project: codeberg.org/thecasualdev...

Gravity is also another thing which will be a make or break I reckon, But so far it feels pretty true to GoldSrc.

Big Tech alternatives are finally getting mainstream media attention! 🎉 The Guardian published a piece on how people can leave Big Tech behind & choose privacy-focused alternatives, a topic we’ve been passionate about at Tuta for a long time. 🙌🔐 Thank you to Steve Rose for mentioning us at Tuta!

Every new account that I create for a tool I'm working on keeps getting requests to age verify... About to create a profile with a VPN on at all times just so I can create Brand accounts in peace #FuckMyAussiePrivacyInvadedChudLife

I really should have it on at all times, But so many sites get pissy with me these days I cannot be asked.

After seeing Anthropic stand up against the bullies that is the United States government. And simply saying no to mass surveillance and full anonymous kill drones. If I had to pick any company to survive the pop of the AI bubble, I'm praying it's them.

Now, Should I have used my relatively average sized brain to figure it out (probably) but I didn't think I was gonna be sticking with Linux so I didn't want to dedicate too much time with tinkering. So I did enlist help from AI and Claude was probably the best at it.

It also has this weird sense of "teaching" rarely would it give me the exact answer, But instead preferred guiding me towards the answer. Which, Little bit annoying but at the same time certainly more valuable.

On top of that, I'd say that Claude is also pretty darn good. I never really used LLMs outside of when they first came out. But recently after a migration over to Linux I did have some problems.

I fuckin hate AI bros on YouTube, I was about to watch a guy make an OS using only AI... Not even 1 minute in I see a .js file.

The evil voices in my head are telling me to finish my Roblox game, So gonna throw all my morals and stranding on Roblox out of the window so I can shut those little freaks up.
