Every time I look at Godoy I think, “damn, this looks really good, if I were going to make a game I’d use this” and that has been going on for YEARS (and Godot still looks good)

I agree! I've been tinkering with using it for some educational 2D gamedev and it's amazing how much more rewarding and excited I feel making these games, lol

When I got comfortable writing tests, I feel like I had gained a super power. I talk to engineers and I remember how much it sucks to learn. But I try to push people to get past that. Writing tests makes you so much more confident in what you're shipping.

Big facts. The amount of cognitive load that drops over time (did this break something in registration? crap, does that still out the right events)

If you’re thinking of joining this space you remember that Twitter is a public forum meaning recruiters + current and former employers can also join this space as well. If you live in an at-will state, you can (and probably will) be fired for disclosing working multiple jobs and

Lol this space is very op-py behavior NGL

This is it! This is the co-op @skulbunnygalaxy and I have been working on for over a year. This beta signup is the culmination of so many months of hard work and I'm excited to finally be able to put it out into the world. Please share it far and wide!

This also expands to my thinking (and that of others I've engaged with) that tech (by itself) will not get us free. It is definitely just a tool. But tools, in this landscape, when wielded by the wrong person who can also easily convince others to do things that fuel/fund/support bad things, need to be used ALWAYS in favor of the people and not institutions that exist to extract from us.

This isn't to say I'm against anarchy. I 100% believe that the state, as it exists, and the facilities we currently champion as a means of molding the state to get to (or return to? for who?) a state treats everyone well do not work in any case presented, and that the most ideal solution is the complete dissolution of it. But doing that by pushing in a system that puts the same core ethos (finance and economics driving people versus the tangible needs of all living people) is not one that'll do any meaningful change.

I think I found the "wording" that links why cryptocurrencies and technologies that rely on it are antithetical to the concepts I understand to be critical to liberation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crypto-anarchism holds it to SOUND like a good thing but under this ecosystem where we haven't even tackled the social issues, these digital systems would usher a new era of feudalism that should be remained to the limits of comics and books, never reality.

Whomst styles the whostyles? August 21, 2021



I love this idea… and who better to introduce it to me than Robin Sloan, writer, note-maker, and ambassador of Keep the Blogosphere Weird in his note Whomst styles?:



This is a “whostyle”: an attempt to carry the ~timbre~ of an author’s voice, in the form of their design sensibility, through into a quotation. It’s the author who defines their whostyle; the quoting site just honors it, a frame around their words.


The idea of giving each personality a little speech bubble to represent their creative identity is lovely, and reminds me of Microsoft Comic Chat. Let's keelhaul tiktok and bring back altcomix-inspired IRC chats!

Robin frankly didn't make this easy at all, with his subtly changing background and header colors1. Jacob Hall made this easier with a lovely reference to all: revert, and the resulting conversation in his indie-web comments is a sort of charming internet House of Leaves, which Robin echoes:



I’ll add that even this glancing encounter with whostyles sharpens my annoyance with Twitter, the way it “smooshes” contributions into uniform, stackable blocks. But a timeline demands this, right? Maybe; I think a timeline of tweets brimming over with typographic variation would be tons of fun. Give us a miniature grid, let us play Müller-Brockmann!


Hear hear! I may very well try to make my own whomstyle.css... just for giggles.








  1. I gave up Robin... I'll try again later. :P ↩

Son what the fuck? 10 YEARS? Russia is looking wild for this (but also, a simple step for the USA to show some sense of allyship is to federally legalize weed, no one should be locked up for this shit)

if you let someone know for the first time how their actions have hurt or upset you, and the conversation ends with you apologising for doing this. it is a clear sign you are dealing with someone who is about to make your life very difficult.
