Cheeseness

@Cheeseness@mastodon.social

I write, make, draw, play, game, and do handsome faces. I made Hive Time. Currently making Fossil Sweeper (a game about digging up fossils), Winter's Wake & Icicle (and a stack of side things).

My avatar is a stylised self portrait with short messy hair, set within a hexagonal shaped slice of cheese with holes in.

#nobridge should not be necessary -_-

The pademelon seen from the other side of the tree, the fur in its face made damp by morning dew on the grass it's been grazing on

my first surprise (shock?) when i got into the professional game industry spaces was that the higher up the chain of command you go (leadership) the more rare it was to find people that actually played, made, or really cared about games. still think about it sometimes.

@alienmelon To me, that's always felt very disrespectful to the project and to the people actually doing the work.

@alienmelon 100%, and then on top of that, you get to the impact of decisions being made by people who're missing that first hand experience/perspective

Duck Duck Go is down because Bing is down.

(Also, you saw the recent AI stuff, right?)

Folks, I know… I use Duck Duck Go also but remember they have venture capital. Enjoy it while it lasts (or let’s fund and build alternatives differently that aren’t temporary businesses with profit motives and exits but commons-owned institutions working for the common good).

@aral Aral, are you familiar with Stract (a search engine that is F/OSS)? It seems neat and has interesting features, but I haven't had time to investigate if it is what it appears to be https://stract.com.about

@aral In particular, the "10k short" optic (found in Settings->Manage Optics), which removes the 10,000 most popular sites seems like a cool way of surfacing stuff that wouldn't normally be visible

@peacememories @aral Do you have a link to where I can read more about Stract's use of AI/ML? It's not something I've been able to find more information on.

@noodlejetski @aral If accepting a lower bar is the cost of moving past other dominant platforms, that's an easy decision for me to make, personally. My concerns are more about the organisational philosophies behind the project and its implementation.

I also recognise that I can probably live without a generic search engine entirely if I have to, so maybe I'm in a different space to many others.
