@ClarusPlusPlus @itchio IIRC the checkboxes are really just for indicating whether the thing can be played in the app on a particular platform, and not for indicating what platform it's for per se. Which isn't to say that's how it *should* be, I agree that there should be categories for non-itchio-app platforms like DOS, NES, C64, OS/2, etc.

I finally signed up for Nebula TV today after learning that it's creator-owned (despite a couple of objectionable plagiarists making their home there) and I'm kinda surprised, but ultimately in favor of, how there's no comments on videos.

Yep that about sums up the Roomba experience

man, ziprecruiter is pretty much useless as a jobseeking platform, at least for me. They're just constantly inundating me with dozens of irrelevant jobs based on trivial keyword matches that don't match my actual job-searching criteria, and apparently even *looking* at a job's full information signals the system that it's the sort of job I'm looking for or something? There's no way to say "no thanks" or to provide specific "don't recommend these jobs" feedback

I feel like @plush_bot should know about this extremely vintage plush toy https://www.tumblr.com/sixteenseveredhands/709989286531022848/2300-year-old-plush-bird-from-the-altai-mountains (and so should you)

pylint apparently disables the use of a variable named 'bar,' presumably to discourage naming things 'foo' and 'bar,' but in this case the thing I'm defining is a progress bar.

Bandcrash devlog: v0.7.0, now with an all-new player engine https://fluffy.itch.io/bandcrash/devlog/628520/v070-now-with-an-all-new-player-engine #devlog

ugh I just tried running Bandcrash on a machine that didn't have my dev environment and apparently pyInstaller isn't actually bundling in all the shared libraries it's meant to

well that sucks

it's gonna be a pain in the butt to figure out a fix for this, especially since it looks like even though I'm using a python.org Python binary it's trying to pull in stuff from homebrew, which is of course never going to be portable or multiarch

okay so as a temporary "fix" I uninstalled homebrew from one of my Macs and used that to do the build, completely free of /opt/homebrew taint. Hopefully that works.

But the solution to "I want to build a binary that works on all Macs" should not be "own two Macs"

@killyourfm oh great, so instead of making $20/year (optimistically) I will now make $0/year. Why should I even bother?

Artists: hey Spotify the way you pay artists is unfair and imbalanced, you should fix it
Spotify: you’re right, we *do* pay too much to smaller bands

@killyourfm

@lanodan yeah unfortunately alternate keyboard layouts aren't all that useful for my particular thing either

this has me seriously considering getting a Framework laptop, especially since this laptop is just my tooling-around-on-the-couch one and I don't use it for music or art or whatever, I just do Internet shit from it

really anything that can run linux would be fine, although most laptops' keyboards are fucking awful, and macbook keyboards are at least not *total* shit

ok though it gives me a really bad taste in my mouth where the framework laptop prices are like "starts at $850" but that price doesn't include RAM or storage

okay yeah $1050 for an actual working laptop is more than I want to spend right now

does anyone know of any good inexpensive Linux-friendly laptops with keyboards that won't put me in agony after 5 minutes? (like I already have an HP netbook that I use for random Linux shit but the keyboard is *agonizing*)

unsurprisingly I'm getting lots of people telling me I should get a thinkpad, to which I should have mentioned that my Windows dev machine is a Thinkpad and I keep it on my desk specifically so I don't have to use its shitty fucking keyboard that gives me almost instant wrist pain

sorry if you think the thinkpad keyboard is good

it isn't

i mean the main reason I stick with macbooks is because they have the least-shitty keyboards of any laptop I've used, like they don't have a ridiculous actuation force but also don't have a trauma-inducing hard bottom-out on them

which isn't to say the macbook keyboard is *good*, it's just less bad than other laptops in my experience

but maybe someone else with similar chronic pain issues knows of a more comfortable laptop that also doesn't break down after two years?
