Beware, there is an ongoing spambot attack in #GitHub issues in several projects were random people suggest "the fix" is to download a random file from mediafire.com. Like this:
I got one of those this morning, but GitHub seems to have yanked it away between the time that I got the email notification and when I "WTAF?" navigated my way to the issue page.
just encountered that last guy lol. Reporting them does seem to get them banned pretty quick. I reported two and they were both banned within about 10 minutes.
I tried to install the fix but I seem to be required to install Wine for it. Is there some project helping me install windows malware faster on linux? 😆

Attendees shared hopes for design enhancements and better battery life, while…
Okay, I just found this on Youtube. A guy smashes clocks. He doesn't really describe much, but I love how he says something about time's up or a saying about a clock, then smashes a clock! For those of you like me who love glass breaky noises, some good stuff in here for you! youtube.com/watch?v=mM7EuJ2KUk…
@DavidGoldfield No, you've got that wrong. Anyone who enjoys smashing clocks clearly has too much time on their hands…or too many ways to tell time…or something.

Restarting Highscore thread since it’s getting too long. End of the previous thread quoted. —- Hmm I'm still undecided on which shaders I want - currently I use basicaly github.com/libretro/glsl-shade… with adjust colors, and github.com/libretro/glsl-shade… with adjust+darken colors. I may tweak them a bit, since VBA one is rather too much, while GBA one is still darker than the original, tho not as dark as it needs to be here. The main problem is GB - GBC obviously needs the same treatment, but what do we do for GB games with GBC palettes... I mean those can be affected too, sure, but then we have custom palettes based on GBC ones - do we still do it there?
And landed, and there's also GBC and DS support. All opt-in in properties, so per-game.
Meanwhile GBC palettes are now also color-corrected too, this time unconditionally - I mean most of them looked garish and generally awful, just compare the colors on Kirby's Dream Land screenshots. So I don't think many people will want the raw colors for those palettes.
(also yes, GBC games running as GBA get (non-darkened) GBA color correction instead, as they usually use different palettes anyway)
And added Clean filter now (AANN), and it's now the default too.
Additionally, about dialog shows attribution for filters now (except for nearest/none, as that one is trivial and not based on anything), since the AANN shader is licensed under MIT ^^
Also fixed edges with the smooth filter, it was using the wrong texture wrap mode. Meanwhile Interframe Blending is now Blend Frames instead, and has an explanation in the UI for what it does.
And more filter work: there's a smoothing/upscale shader now, specifically xBRZ - there is a single pass freescale shader, so that was fairly simple to integrate.
This caused some trouble with attribution, as it has a dual license and AdwAboutDialog doesn't handle that very nicely... so I had to resort to a wall of text, oh well.
I also renamed filters to less generic and more technical names - it was honestly getting more confusing than helpful. Is "smooth" bicubic or xBRZ? Well, kinda both... So now it's just:
In Nodezator's dev branch: changed the magnetic sockets feature to make it closer to what I envisioned originally: the nodes had hands and would help you by grabbing the new connection for you.
The hands are CC0 assets from the excellent @kenneynl
No guys, hear me out, we might be onto something here! What about tracking eyes that become happy when the connection is reached out? (also in Nodezator's dev branch)
Okay, you asked, and now there's a hand near the mouse to meet the one on the nearby socket as well. Thank you all for the suggestions so far. (already on Nodezator's dev branch as well). #Python #nodeeditor
In case you didn't know, Nodezator is a generalist Python node editor. Open-source proudly dedicated to the public domain. It is a serious project but still has a long way to go (it is quite useable already though). github.com/IndiePython/nodezat…
And, of course, if you wish to support my work on it, I have a patreon for recurrent donations, Github sponsors for one-time donations and other options that you can find here: indiepython.com/donate.html
I even went and made a website for it upon its release a couple years ago. It is not much, but it is honest work. Nodezator is a project that is truly near and dear to my heart ❤️ nodezator.com
Also to the people scared of the nodes/grabby hands: don't worry users will be able to fully customize this behaviour, including the ability to get rid of them, leaving only the socket proximity detection. After all, they may be distracting to some.
Final version is very similar, but decided to hide the cursor. Now I use the hand that extends from the 1st socket like a cursor, instead of having it offset behind the cursor as before.
Thank you all for the feedback, specially mechadense & lisa44Yes (handles from X). Feels and looks better. #Python #nodeeditor
The Python core team has started discussing changes to its governance model. I do think it is time for change, and worth rethinking and tweaking the current model.
As mentioned in my #PyOhio keynote, it is one of the "changelongs" I want to see. I don't know how it should be changed, maybe someone else in the community can figure it out.
I just think we should continue to adjust and evolve the model, so I'm glad to see that the team has started such discussion.
MY LATEST ESSAY: "Why Does 'Transvestigation' Happen? On Gendering, Ungendering, and (Mis)Perceiving Trans People." In this long-read, I unpack the phenomenon of so-called #transvestigation, explain why & how it happens, plus explore more mundane (yet nevertheless fucked up) ways in which we perceive and interpret gender and sexual minorities. No-paywall link, please give it lots of "claps" & share widely! juliaserano.medium.com/why-doe… #trans #transgender #LGBTQ #lgbtqia #gender #transvestigation
I published a new report that shows how today's cybersecurity and risk profiling systems are turning into employee mass surveillance and predictive policing tools.
Based on log, device and network data, they let companies monitor almost everything employees do or say.
We need a serious debate about what is necessary and proportionate for what purpose and about safeguards that prevent misuse.
