The tombola effect looked a lot better in my head when I first imagined it 😆

@scummvm

I hope verified users will also get access to exclusive features, like triple-clicking and extra low-resolution graphics modes.

I’m trying to make a tombola effect to pick random numbers for the bingo grid using the rapier2d physics engine. Sometimes the balls fly out between the joints of the sides of the tombola. I have no idea what I’m doing 😆
I figured out how to use JavaScript closures from Rust and then rewrote all the JS parts in Rust so there’s now only 2 lines left of JS, phew. I also added some cheesy sounds using the html5 audio API (I dunno how to capture them in the video though…)
Why is there no instance for French speakers called “faits divers dot social”? The pronunciation is almost like fediverse and faits divers is just the sort of thing you talk about on social media. It seems like a missed opportunity.
Experimenting with rust+wasm+webgl. Seems like quite a nice platform. The repo can also build a native version with SDL. https://github.com/bpeel/diveno

Alright, listen up. I see a lot of discussion getting way too heated because you've got people with perfect English on one side, and people just struggling to get themselves understood in a language they don't speak well on the other, and then both sides just don't get what the other is saying and then things explode. I've seen this so, so many times. And honestly all this tells me is that it's really, really easy for English speaking people to think that since we have a lot of good English speakers on the internet, or that that is the bubble they always find themselves in, that everybody does. And this is so very much not the case and y'all should be careful. You're making enemies you don't necessarily have to make just because you don't consider that the person on the other side can't express themselves clearly and is just doing the best they can.

I think it’d be a fun project to make a clone of BookWyrm but using an FSF-approved license and written in #rust. Maybe it could start as a fork of Lemmy to reuse all the code for federating with ActivityPub and creating user accounts etc.
How old were you when you found out that /usr stands for Unix System Resources and not for user?
