Iβm so tired of this damn distro. Tools Iβve been comfortable with for years are now getting the boot from me because they contribute to these overhyped, agentic-made dotfiles.
And thatβs not even speaking on DHH...
This. Iβm proud of figuring out my own solutions to problems - crafty optimizations, hierarchies and architecture that make sense, and **comments**.
The most I like AI in my coding is to ask about some poorly documented API, but from there Iβm still gonna fight with it and write it myself.
see I've tried using AI for coding
I'd like to think I'm special and immune to AI addiction, but the reality is probably just that I'm incapable of feeling any kind of attachment or pride in AI generated code
I feel like it pollutes the project and displaces my own motivation, I just don't want it
Alrighty, Geolosys for 1.21.1 is out! It's in beta, so give me a shout if you find any major / gamebreaking bugs along the way :)

(CurseForge still under review)
Moved from (self hosted) GitLab to (self hosted) Forgejo, got rbw-quick-access set up with an automatic build workflow, AND set up two self-hosted runners (one for Linux, one for macOS) all in just the span of two days.
Oh, and re-organized the rack.
Pretty good use of my weekend, if you ask me.
Genuinely, this is what bothers me the most, it's fundamentally changed my relationship with art where I'm greeting it initially with skepticism and scrutiny, I never want to feel that way about art.
Hi. I spent like 15 hours today making a thing for Bitwarden to bring a 1Password-like quick-access. Check it out if you want?

Also RIP 1Password. Wish you hadn't done that.
All morning I've worked on a persistent application and opening the window up via socket, making subsequent calls to the same command just re-opens the existing window.
State is fun.
The banned AI slop icons and gallery images will be so nice on their own, but fully and nearly-fully ai-generated projects now being disallowed is a β¨blessingβ¨.
Modrinth continues to be the GOAT.
Modrinth has banned ai slop icons and added a bunch of other fantastic features, such as a derivative content disclosure. THANK YOU Modrinth!!

Blue Bottle Games, as a policy, does not use generative AI.
It's something we've discussed as a team, weighing the pros and cons, and ultimately, we decided it was not for us.
Recently, while chatting with a colleague, she mentioned it was useful hearing our reasoning.
So: Sharing time!

Man, it's been over a week since I started daily driving Linux (after multiple failed attempts) and this one just hits differently. If I wasn't a dev, I don't think it would work for me just because of a lack of out-of-the-box solutions for some distros/WMs.
That said, I'm astonished by how much better Modded Minecraft performs. It loads faster, I can move it while it loads without the processing getting SIGKILLed, and generally it's been quite smooth.
But Forza Horizon 6 is still broken for me :(
I was thinking the other day that my build style has largely grown stale for positive-space building, mostly doing cottage style homes with gable-adjacent roofs. I shook it up for this Ars + Etc. Magic build, and I'm so darn pleased.
The back needs decor/work, and torches are temporary.
We've been looking forward to sharing this news for a long time. We're making a graphic novel!

We're so excited to tell a brand new story.
This perspective on the discord change is very important. Having administered a space where adults and "teens" intersected regularly (Minecraft modding) that space would not be what it is today without them. Those kids being removed would basically be the end of that space.
The Discord age verification discourse focuses on adults losing access to communities they have a right to access. That's important.
I'm also worried, though, about the kids. They seem to be an afterthought in these conversations. They have much to lose too. π§΅ www.theverge.com/tech/875309/...
Hey everyone. The Allumeria Steam page is currently down because Microsoft has filed a false DMCA claim on it. They sent an email earlier today claiming that this screenshot infringes on their copyright. I am taking a moment to figure out what my path is going forward, will update soon. #gamedev
Just a friendly reminder to send that email to opt out of arbitration. There were over 70,000 ID's breached, and attackers had access to this data for a full 52 hours. Also talk to your local lawmakers to point out these obvious risks to ID verification laws.
That forced arbitration clause that was in Discord's recent TOS update is starting to make a little more sense now... cybersecuritynews.com/discord-data...

As Italy goes on strike, we all stand with Sumud, with humanity, against the g3nocide and corrupt politicians. Together we sail. I know for sure that some heroes definitely like One Piece.
If you want to join the flotilla as a collab, more details in the first comment.
Hey all! It's been a few months, but I'm going to stream on our (modified) Tekkit Server! I may be alone, I may not be, but regardless I'd love if you come join about 10 minutes!!
See 'ya there:

Unfortunately my current contract-to-potential-hire role will be ending in a week with no offer for a permanent position or even an extension.
If any friends or passers by know of a (ideally remote) opening for a full stack dev that will gladly learn anything, hit me up. Bio has my portfolio :)
I have an odd question for the internet: Iβm now a home owner in a part of town where I feel I can safely fly an LGBTQ+ flag. As such, Iβm in search of a quality one, preferably the new inclusive design, but most importantly: made by, or benefiting, the LGBTQ+ community. Any recommendations?

Weβre testing a new feature! Starting this week, select accounts can add a livestream link to sites like YouTube or Twitch, and their Bluesky profile will show theyβre live now.
New build (featuring ForgeServ's old cooler and case, a new 9900X, 3090Ti & 64GB of ram all before tariffs hit and cause a huge hike in their prices) * catches breath *
Who dis?
Anyways, future-proof enough for me and my needs to last this administration, or the fall of the states as we know it π
Decided to update and hop back on the Monifactory server that's been empty for months while waiting for a friend to be able to join again -- turns out my Loot Fab glitched. Now, what to with 24 *million* Ender Pearls...
Tectonic v3 is now feature complete!
I'll be holding a small closed beta as I handle things like large biomes and Terralith compatibility, with an open beta hopefully following next week.
#mcdev#minecraft
Tectonic for 1.21.5... isn't releasing yet. Instead, I'm putting my attention on the v3 update!
Tectonic v3 will include many new features such as proper islands and continents and new terrain types. Below are two of these terrain types: badlands canyons and jungle pillars!
