do I make a mobile game or a FPS first

fleshed out some game design docs over the last week or so, pretty excited about either concept, frankly

though obviously FPS is slower, I’m no good at blender

they've even shared multiple posts from non bsky.social handles???

not even internally consistent, as usual

Heeey, look, it's me!

I'm super hyped to announce that @bsky.app have given me a grant to work on the standards for the Federated Credential Management API (or FedCM) to make them really work for all decentralized web applications.

also webp is a 15 year old format so if it's not working correctly on this site or your browser, that is a valid complaint. however, seems to work for me on macOS and cachyOS across safari, firefox, chromium browsers, et al 🤔

and if you're using a modern browser and not updating recently, idk what to tell you, I would recommend you update your shit if you're connecting it to the internet

there's no meaningful extra tracking risk in webp vs JPG/PNG, despite extra complexity in VP8X. and for the bsky CDN specifically they still give you the option of requesting jpeg so it seems like a non issue if you use a browser release that was built in the last ~5 years

re: webp

fun facts: the CDN still provides jpeg/png fallbacks and similarly the <picture> element is often used to provide fallbacks to JPG/PNG formats in case you want to use windows 2000 on the modern web for some reason

sounds like they're mad that it would mean bsky.app wouldn't work on their pre-2000's hardware???

yeah I have an old Toshiba Tecra 730CDT and I don't expect modern websites to work on that either 🤷

yeah idk what that person is talking about, I have aggressive ad-blocking enabled on both a network and browser level and bsky dot app works completely fine??

literally making up a whataboutism that is verifiably false, incredible

Linux gaming update now that I've been on CachyOS for a few weeks:

I don't miss Windows at all (even though I did reserve a ~300gb partition, haven't bothered to set it up at all)

Many games actually run better under Linux for me, too!

Had one issue and btrfs snapshots bailed me out.

Good stuff

Harris is, in fact, responsible for making people want to fill in the circle next to her name.

Of course she’s not actually responsible for people filling out their ballots? Why does this distinction matter at all

why is email spam still so hard to solve

and i mean like, categorically obvious stuff. someone BCCing a hundred people about "Word press" and "Joomla" is obviously spamming I mean come on

i genuinely don't mind ad-supported tv for background noise. i really don't.

but whoever decided i need to hear the state farm "living on a prayer" ad every 8 minutes has violated the geneva convention and i will not be elaborating further

kinda funny that he explicitly put me through programs like Boy Scouts and IB and all that happened was it turned me into a leftist

my dad is malding about this, saying it's good that the effort i put in to become an eagle scout is still worthwhile

the implication being, of course, that the changes that happened after I became an Eagle Scout somehow invalidated what I had learned and accomplished personally 🙄

claude will not stop committing. i buried my laptop. claude is committing. i moved to a new city. claude is committing. i got a new wife and she doesn't know about claude.

the commits all are titled "i'm coming for you." there's 4000 of them. i should not have let claude commit
