Hopefully you’re doing some big stretches this #caturday

@akahn one should use an Ö and the other an o

@forestine I have similar impressions; one thing I noticed is that only Mike has writing/production credits, all their other releases they’ve both got those

Just thinking back to all the times I've helped junior colleagues grow into better engineers and leaders by reminding them 60 times a day to not hallucinate.

I have a track on this compilation, available to preview now; im really happy with how the piece turned out and am looking forward to the hearing the whole comp

and I *definitely* don't want a youtube video

@alisynthesis sometimes the best thing you can do for someone in a situation like that is provide a space for them to feel safe, where they feel they can be heard free of judgement and without trying to “fix” things or problem solve for them. Just provide a place where they can talk and feel heard.

It’s hard, but I had butted my head against a similar situation for decades before realizing that’s what was really needed

@technomancy idk if you care about it or not but searxng is listed on openslopware https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware#user-content-search-engines

@jepyang LG isn’t *that* bad on iOS with .5 of the new OS, but, oof

ngl most technology is pretty shit, but as someone with #adhd, being able to press a button on my steering wheel while driving, say, “when I get home, remind me to do the thing I just remembered needs doing”, and have my phone remind me of that when I get home, has been life-altering

@cthos what’s your setup?

@freeformz my kid had fun; but I haven’t seen anything that predictable in a *looong* time

2 more days, lots of polish and art today
we also have a walking animation made and added!
ive got 2 more backgrounds to line, then i need to paint 7 more 😅

other than that, its just small stuff, which hopefully i wont run out of time to do with all the painting left
i should be fine, but its definitely going to be a full saturday and sunday to finsh this up strong 💪

for now, please enjoy how much work my CRT shader is doing for the 320x240 3d render, and 640x480 source output #lispgamejam

There's a temptation to be "nuanced" or to hold "complex" views about AI.

I ask that you please reject that temptation and recognize that full and complete abstinence from AI is a complex view that considers the tradeoffs, compromises with the relative extremes of direct action, and that comes from a comprehensive understanding of what AI is.

Look, if you call me and I pick up, and I tell you I don’t have time to talk right now because I’m expecting another call,

but you’re like “this will only take a minute” and proceed to plow into your thing

and then when the call I’m expecting comes in and I say “I have to take this” and hang up on you,

I am not the one being rude

Orange crab lang continues to be bad

Can't even add a clown reaction emoji to this PR either lmao, I wonder why

Officials hugely underestimated impact of AI datacenters on UK carbon emissions
https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2026/apr/24/officials-hugely-underestimated-impact-of-ai-datacentres-on-uk-carbon-emissions

Oops, looks like they only projected the carbon emission rate at 1% of what it would actually be

I’ve forced myself to learn to cook over the past few years, something of a challenge for people with #adhd because, well, cooking required really good time management. I’ve been getting better

Tonight I tackled my first pie, and from scratch; my kid of course wanted the one with a meringue topping (a S’mores pie recipe from America’s Test Kitchen), and it turned out well

finally got to revisit my phosphor masking + HDR bloom CRT shader/upscaler, nicknamed loveHRT (heuristic ray tube)

I added scanlines, distortion, and the big change... configurable gaussian kernel, blending smoothly without artifacts!

I think I nailed the blend of pixel art and accuracy I was going for ^^

Edit: you can toy around with the shader here
