A really annoying thing that absolutely needs to stop:

- "More info in the discord!" / "Changelog in the Discord!"

STOP THAT.

Discord is a closed, proprietary platform. Post your stuff on the actual open web where more people will see it.

There is a chance that if my focus remains, I can get a networked version of the worms game out before the end of next week :).

The remaining things are:

  • Netcode
  • Weapons menu
  • Tightening up of the logic around rounds and turns.
  • Win screen.

Netcode sounds like a lot, but I think I'm going to be able to use off the shelf stuff for the actual server side. Already designed a proto I think will work.

If it does happen, I'll drop a link in here for folks to try :)

andaba yo leyendo sobre alguien que estaba haciendo bricolaje en casa. Aprovecho para deciros, amiguitos, que bricolajear es muy difícil y que, si no sabéis, sale más barato pagarle a un profesional. Más caro sí, pero al menos o queda bien.

I do find myself trying to unfollow a person I don't want to see but they only appeared because of a hashtag they used sometimes.

Call centres need to stop playing me MINUTES of automated messages telling me to visit their website. If I'm calling you, it's because your website cannot help. That is the only situation in which I would ever ring ANYONE other than my Mum.

We do this not because it's easy, but because it's less hassle than getting into a whole discussion about it.

This is the kind of shit that makes me want to not shop from your site. It honestly might be worth the doubled price at your competitor.

Uh, Android, I don't think I can use PayPal to send emails. I just don't think that's a thing I can do. Also, blind users of mastodon who happen to use galaxy watches, have any of you encountered issues trying to get eloquence working? I've installed it, but I can't run it and if I select it in TTS options, I get a grand total of no speech whatsoever.

I maintain my steadfast belief that “clean code” is like the “clean eating” of software development — an eating disorder based on feel good behaviors that are largely irrelevant and that leads to health issues.

Whenever you hear “clean”, save yourself and run!

While living in western Europe, we all might have forgotten what borders were :

In the last week, I had 5 passport checks - in the middle of the night -, 3 still in coming.

I'm running around with 5 currencies : 🇪🇺 Euro, 🇺🇦 Hryvnia, 🇲🇩 Leu, 🇷🇺 Rubel and 🇷🇴 Ron, likely tomorrow even still with 🇭🇺 Forints.

Please keep yourself reminded what a privilege open borders, unified currency and the lack of customs checks are.

Defend #Schengen. Share European standards. Open borders. Do not build a fortress.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but after gaining access to OpenAI's new O1 model, I've started using it to analyze my own professional writing and it's doing a pretty fantastic job. It's giving me inline suggestions which are accurate and helpful, noting the need for clarity when necessary, pointing out capitalization errors, and understanding niche accessibility concepts without my having to feed it any context. It's also very self-aware; it pointed out a discrepancy between what I wrote and its 2021 knowledge cutoff, but encouraged me to verify rather than assuming its own knowledge was correct. It's insanely expensive compared to GPT-4O, but I can still have long back-and-forth exchanges and typically stay under the $1 mark. It's technically also available as part of the ChatGPT subscription, so maybe I should be using that rather than the API, but so far the cost has been minimal and I don't think I need to.

what's interesting to me is that on the Chat GPT site, it tells you what is actually thinking about specific to what you're asking. For example, when doing the "count of Rs in strawberry" it might say things like "verifying letters" and "counting total letters in the word," almost like you get to see more of how the thinking process came to be when your answer was crafted, which is very useful to scan (although I should note that it flashes by very quickly.)

'The BBC has confronted a neo-Nazi in Finland who shared online instructions on how to commit arson with UK rioters during the summer.'

On his Telegram accounts, Mr Rasanen celebrates Hitler and promotes a neo-Nazi group called the Nordic Resistance Movement'

Just how sucked up is this young man,, Hitler would have had him shot for the colour of his skin.

I've given up on stupidity.
My family drove to vote for Brexit down a Welsh road paid-for by the EU, and they still thought their 98% white british population was being overrun by forreigners. You just can't fix stupid.
If they'd had a reasonable case, even if I disagreed with it, i could've gotten behind them. But they didn't, and doing things just because you're told bothers me more than most things.

Brexit.
Many of my Brothers and Sister and their partners voted Brexit because of immigrants, given one of my Sisters who voted because of immigrants has a Greek daughter in Law and 3 half Greek Grandchildren and a half Polish Grand child all living in the UK than and now, all I can say is you can't fix racists.

It broke my heart and we are still not talking.

hey, it works. Got a bit of a rhythm to it.
I have a .me, because I didn't like the sound of com and I'm not a company. having my own name as a .me made perfect sense to me, but at least once a month, usually if I'm giving it out verbally, someone will add .com or .UK or something to the end of it.
