NetHackathon

Twice a year, Twitch content creators stream NetHack continuously for over 48 hours!

The same is going to be true for artisanal hand coded indie games too right? Right?

Fun fact, you share your internet connection with about 32 of your neighbours. Their signal, your signal it's all the same.

The laser beam that fires down a single glass tube at the exchange is passively split and ends up at all of your houses, and your modem pulls out your individual signal from the mish mash with multiplexing, e.g. time division, where you get a tiny slice of beam time allocated to you.

I have no idea what sort of encryption is used or what sort of hackery is possible...

Looking for an artist / animator / modeller for our #godot #xr #gamejam team. Starts in a week, check my profile for my previous work, we have won this jam before.

I am unreasonably happy with myself for writing this response to disclosing #AI use in #gamedev:

> I will take all the downvotes for this opinion, but if people are attacked for using SLAVE ORPHANS, that incentives those people not to disclose using it.
...
>Does it make sense to both go "fuck everyone who uses SLAVE ORPHANS" and "how dare people hide their use of SLAVE ORPHANS"?

Then again, I do have the luxury of being a hobbyist and not needing to make money.

These are the kinds of messages you get when your partner is way cooler than you will ever be.

If you had any doubt that the rise of LLM tools is a threat to F/OSS, even beyond the fact that its trained on it without permission, and is now frequently used to replace it (why import a battle-tested library when you can have an "agent" half-ass it?), people are now using LLMs to create derivative rewrites of open source projects to give them cover for bullshit relicensing attempts.

Hi, I'm Mark Pilgrim. You may remember me from such classics as "Dive Into Python" and "Universal Character Encoding Detector." I am the original author of chardet. First off, I would like to thank...

GitHub
#gitlab CI by default does all its work with world writeable permissions on everything! All the code it pulls, *all the build artifacts you generate*, everything is chmod 666 / 777 unless you set `FF_DISABLE_UMASK_FOR_DOCKER_EXECUTOR`. Absolute insanity!

Albo will never be Howard, doesn't have the eyebrows for it.

Anthony Albanese’s transformation into Deputy Sheriff John Howard is complete

In dismissing international law and supporting yet another Western military attack on a Middle Eastern country, Anthony Albanese has completed his transformation into John Howard.
