Epic Parties

ok i guess this means like. friend lobbies for multiplayer games integrated within the launcher. or something like this

but seeing this with no context in a roadmap is very funny

noooo! not propaganda into my perfectly unbiased and neutral facts machine!

kde can be controlled with a gamepad (tho it’s a setting you need to activate first), but in my experience it was pretty janky. maybe it’s better now? it’s an option to consider, at least

they also have plasma bigscreen which works better with a controller, but since it’s pretty recent (iirc it only got added in plasma 6.7, the latest major release) i doubt it will be in debian’s repos

the ai when you tell it you’re being murdered

not our fault you can’t be arsed to change the name lol

i know blahaj at least defederated it because of “a community for porn of women that appear to be under 18” (direct quotation from a local-only post)

i couldn’t find it myself (there’s a lot of communities on there!) but i’m guessing it’s some sort of “barely legal” porn community, which is gross (but unfortunately very common). so good riddance imo

as others have said, don’t necessarily stop using wikipedia & related tools (wiktionary, etc). they’re still useful and using them doesn’t directly benefit the foundation.

however, if the union calls for an editorial strike (no more editing) or a full-on boycott, follow what they say, out of solidarity. it’s what i plan on doing. in general, i think this is the best reaction to union busting: follow what the union says.

and yea, stop donating if you’re doing that.

according to what i’ve seen on reddit (amazing source i know), safari reports itself as OS X while other browsers report themselves as macOS

…and now, suddenly, github being overrun by vibecoded garbage isn’t so bad

if rumours are to be believed, the game will feature player input, as well as a rapid succession of images to simulate motion. exciting stuff!

from the gitignore:

/.agents/
/.claude/
/CLAUDE.md
/PHASE1-PROMPT.md
/RELEASING.md
/skills-lock.json
/plans

so probably quite a bit lmao

and from a brand-new account too. this is slop, people

the ideology of these guys is so ridiculous

"oh yea i’m such a tough manly man, when there’s a zombie apocalypse while all you soyboys die i’ll be surviving in my manly cabin and providing for my family 😎😎😎

huh? a pandemic? i need to stay at home and wear a mask in public? this is infringing upon my rights!!! this is violating my freedom to go to mcdonalds!!! i will roll over you in my oversized air conditioned monster pickup for this!!!"

“^carotte$” is in the user regexes but i’m not in the user list… hmmm.

looking at the list i’m wondering how is it possible that any content from lemmy showed up on tesseract lol. why did they block “article is paywalled”???

thankfully the us is the only country that has a sky so only their government’s approval is needed 😁👍

if you’re looking for a fun couch coop game, towerfall is really awesome! it’s a 2D vertical fighting game with bows, the controls are very easy to pick up and the rounds are fast, so anyone can join in and it’s really fun!

this is a snapshot, so bugs like these are to be expected. it’s almost certainly getting fixed before the full release

one previous snapshot had a known bug where if the vulkan renderer (back then the default iirc) was used on macos, the entire screen would be pink upon joining a world, making the game unplayable. it got fixed in the following snapshot.

iirc their goal is not to have a perfectly enforceable policy, it’s to cultivate a culture around the language that is fully in favor of human contributors instead of ai. to let people learn and improve as they contribute, instead of simply merging code that looks good enough; they call it contributor poker

power punch II!

it was a mediocre fighting game for the nes. it’s original title was mike tyson’s intergalactic power punch, but after the aforementioned mike tyson was arrested for sexual assault, it was renamed power punch II despite power punch 1 never existing.

the rumor goes that it was originally pitched to nintendo as a sequel to punch-out, but either because it was kinda crap or because of mike tyson’s arrest, it was rejected. but this is debated.

so weird to me that they don’t offer a paid, offline version like they did with animal crossing pocket camp…
