6 years ago, I wrote an AES AEAD library in Dart just to go through the motions and learn the encryption. I had CCM and OCB, but never added GCM... Gemini 3 and Antigravity said "hold my beer". NIST and boringssl test vectors passed!
The Patent Office Is About To Make Bad Patents Untouchable

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has proposed new rules that would effectively end the public’s ability to challenge improperly granted patents at the Patent Office itself. We need EFF supporters to file public comments opposing these rules this week. The USPTO is moving quickly, and staying silent will only help those who profit from abusive patents.

Earlier in May I was able to make the transfer from YouTube to Flutter. I'm now the TLM for Flutter Engine. I am fortunate to have a team of exceptional smart engineers who love rendering and love making Flutter better every day.

From a #gamedev side of things, I've been in a threejs / gltf / roll-your-own-physics / third-person over shoulder / blender kick. I really wish I could use Dart / Flutter / Flame, but I've switched to TypeScript.

Typescript's "this" handling is the most awkward for me so far. Just a smidge of cursing on my side :)

I need to get my brain into a "check mastodon first" mode.
Kudos to #MichelleYeoh
And thank you for THIS:
“Ladies, don’t let anyone tell you that you’re past your prime.”
AMEN

I have lived as far south as 27° and as far north as 49°, and there is no way around it: DST sucks; time changes should be abolished https://mastodon.social/@chockenberry/110016525737904522
