It's finally time. After years of deliberation, #Minetest is finally ready to adopt a new identity and prove it has moved beyond its original purpose. We can finally move past the "mining" and the "testing" and focus on making this platform the best it can be.

Introducing Our New Name

After more than a year of public and internal discussions, we're ready to announce our new name!
Minetest
#FreeSoftware #opensource #gamedev #Minetest

Exactly one year since we reached 3,000 named contributors in #curl, we are at 3,257 names in the list.

This is a team effort.

@chipiguay just me going back through the previous history and adding all the names to the list that should have been added before. So the bump is a "lie", a correction of previous omissions.

I agree. Don't call it "favorite" then. dragonscave.space/@jscholes/11…

I favourite a lot of cool stuff on Mastodon. I'd love a service to go through that stuff on a regular basis, pick some of it at random, and remind me of it. Maybe by email, DM, or whatever.

Note: last time I mentioned using favourites in this way, Mastodon's corrections brigade came out in force to tell me I should be using bookmarks instead. Please don't do that again.

@adrienne Meanwhile… WP’s accessibility team meetings are on hold, because… neither of the team’s reps can log into WP.org anymore.

Don't know why I didn't realize it sooner, but, while LLMs produce a lot of bullshit, they're absolutely perfect for producing those endless shitty interpretive papers I had to write in college for classes like English Lit. I hope students are making mockeries of those now. Ask ChatGPT to write a 1,000 word paper explaining how the song WAP is a protest against 'nuclear weapons.

‘Clutter isn’t really an East versus West thing,’ continues Tsuzuki. ‘It’s a rich versus poor thing. Wherever you go, anywhere in the world, the wealthy have the luxury of living in clean, minimal spaces, while the poor have to make do with small, cramped ones, without any way to hide their belongings.’

Yahoo Finance says that Twitter's revenue has dropped by 84% since Elon Musk took over. finance.yahoo.com/news/twitter…

84%! It's bringing less than one sixth of what it did pre-takeover!

That's one stable genius, right there.

I just wrote a tip for the book about how difficult I found it getting the new BSI activation gesture to work. TURNS OUT. My BSI Activation Gesture setting was toggled off. On my new phone? Anyone else see Off as a default? Also, if you can’t get the gesture to work, go find that toggle in BSI settings. #a11y #ios #voiceover

Never seen this by default off. I don't think the gesture is described well by Apple. The language sounds too confusing, at least to me. I like how someone described it in their podcast: "simply place your fingers as if you were about to type the letter C. Now, type it twice". Works for me! :)

Sections of Fifth Ave in the Gaslamp Quarter were closed to cars and open to people, enforced with permanent-looking metal bollards. It was nice to have a space for people to exist without noisy, dangerous cars being everywhere, and Aubrie liked being able to freely roll in the street rather than having to maneuver along the sidewalk.

I'm taking a semi-break from posting here at the moment, but I hope everyone has had a good weekend. I do have some Christmas music news coming in the next post.

an meine Followys in Köln. Wer kennt einen Location nähe Köln Hansaring, wo ich kommenden Mittwoch (16. Okt) abends, nach der Arbeit, nicht allein sein muss.

Bin die nächste Woche dienstlich in Köln und würde mich sehr freuen den Abend nicht allein meinen Gedanken auf dem tristen Hotelzimmer verbringen zu müssen.

Es geht mir wirklich in erster Linie um: Nicht allein sein. Ich muss nicht unbedingt neuen Bekanntschaften machen, es reicht schon ein Umfeld, wo nette Menschen zu Small Talk bereit sind. Hauptsache nicht allein auf dem Hotelzimmer.

Gern einen Boost und bei sehr konkreten Ideen auch eine direkt Nachricht.

Danke Euch ❤️

I know "I bet this construction work will not be finished on time" is not a particularly wild guess in Germany, but nonetheless: called it!

Thanks to @ChristineMalec and some amazing friends, my slightly early birthday present yesterday was to go up in an Extra 300 aerobatic aircraft and experience roles, loops, etc. Even got to take the controls for a bit. This was a completely amazing experience. This is a two seater aircraft that is specifically designed for aerobatics. A video is coming as soon as I get it. There will also be an audio described version.

Israel's ongoing massacre of Jabalia refugee camp is one of the most violent attacks on Palestinian people in a year of violent attacks, in 78 years of violent attacks.

People need to stop scrolling past these crimes of humanity. No more excuses. Or saying "it's complicated".

Everyday, Palestinian people are being slaughtered by Israel, and too many people don't care because they're racist shits who don't see Arabs/brown people as human.

(Yes, you, the person that will report me for this post, you are a racist shit)
