A bit late, but I really like it :)

It’s simple and well laid-out, and I do like the sidebar to quickly jump from post to post.

This was pretty fun! I got 3x scale and a score of 412.

This hits too close to home.

I’ve been on Nobara for almost a year now and am really happy with it. The only distro I’d probably switch to is Bazzite just to try out immutability, but aside from that I’m good where I am.

There are two good options: Host your own blog yourself, or join a blogging platform that isn’t corporate. I personally use BearBlog but I’ve heard good things about Write.as as well. These two have free blogging options and don’t sell your data. If you want to host it yourself (which is safer), check out Hugo.

Ultimately, bots scrape the entire internet and there’s no guarantee they will honor robots.txt of a particular website (which tells bots what they are and aren’t allowed to do). If it’s on the internet, people can scrape your content and there isn’t much you can do about it. That shouldn’t stop you from writing or blogging, just don’t post very personal data.

Also, feel free to join us on !blogging@programming.dev!

Compiling to bash seems awesome, but on the other hand I don’t think anyone other than the person who wrote it in amber will run a bash file that looks like machine-generated gibberish on their machine.

Not the most exciting but hey, someone has to do it.

I got it from a Buffoon pack, but it’s still worth buying because it pays for itself. You get 2 jokers that are worth 1-2 dollars each, you can sell them if they’re not worth keeping and you can even get jokers like Egg and Mail-In-Rebate that gain you tons of money.

It’s a life saver in ante 1-2

One of the devs wrote a blog post a while back talking about his first impressions with Godot.

TL;DR: Really positive on Godot but things that should be improved are text and how Godot handles texture atlases (I totally agree on both)

Be sure to check where the trackpad is. Centralized is better. My new one is more to the left and my wrist hits it when playing tf2 and I do occasionally get some movement from my wrist in game, but not much.

There should be an option in your OS to disable the trackpad while using the keyboard. My laptop also has a trackpad to the left and I often have my hand over it when playing but never had this issue.

Make sure you get a laptop with a modern Ryzen processor since the battery life (and performance on battery) is often a lot better than Intel. There are a lot out there that fit the bill like Lenovo’s yoga/ideapad lineup. Just be weary of two things:

• Some 14" laptops may have soldered RAM or SSDs making them impossible to upgrade
• Don’t go off of processor names, they’re often pretty misleading. For example a Ryzen 7 7730U is significantly worse than a Ryzen 7 7840U.

Not sure, I’ll look into it when the launcher is feature-complete. I never tried making a Flatpak app before.

A mod launcher is a program that lets you set up and configure mods for a game, then launch the game with everything set up for you. They exist because configuring everything yourself can be a real pain.

This is awesome! Wish I could run something like this on my car’s tablet, then we could go full circle.

Not a game necessarily, but I decided two days ago to make my own mod launcher for Doom (specifically, GZDoom). I got fed up with the ones that currently exist that lack features I want (not to mention being really old).

UI and theming are definitely not finished, but I’m really happy with how it’s shaping up. Made in Godot, as is usual for me.

Really great shader. Reminds me a lot of Balatro’s background.

It is a fork with added features

Edit: Oh, i see now why everything seemed so sketchy, they have been promoting this since 2022 as a platform for metaverses, webchain and all that web3 bullshit

That might’ve been the investor pitch but luckily it doesn’t seem like any of that has made it into what exists now. Seems like they’re just going to take a percentage of profit from games on their platform.

Just my personal hot take haha, had nothing but bad experiences with Python.

This is really cool. It seems to be getting hugged to death though, I’m getting a lot of server errors when I attempt to open most apps.
