I think the one thing that I absolutely adore about is the modularity of them that allows two disparate designs to be meshed together. Even better, folks can share these new designs with other folks to help prime their pumps.

Decision from the US Copyright Office: AI-generated text is not copyrightable.

Use an AI to generate your game, your ad, your marketing, your documentation? Anyone can use that text.

Congress can change this, and there's lots of examples of how to register your human-generated text when it's surrounded by other text, but in short: it's not intellectual property.

Twitter has gotten so bad for creators trying to get the word out about stuff. Posting outbound links. Using words like "sale". Using non-trending hashtags. It's all suppressed by the algorithm. No one sees anything even if they follow you. I've had to resort to traditional advertising.

    :boostRequest: I’m searching for a role as a Principal Engineer at an early-ish (<150) startup, or on a small, empowered cross-functional team with direct customer impact. I’m looking for a connection to positive outcomes where I can solve the most ambiguous and challenging technical problems, regardless of where in the stack they are. I have extensive experience building and maintaining systems code. I’m passionate about contributing to foundational open source projects.

    As someone who really dislikes the mega-containerization approach and has been unhappy about it since Docker came in with a splash about a decade ago, I'm happy to see a pretty well written criticism of the idea that conatiner systems like Flatpak, Docker, etc are doing a good job of making things easier or more secure for users or devs. They aren't. https://blog.brixit.nl/developers-are-lazy-thus-flatpak/

    So here's me speaking favorably about Debian, Arch, Guix, Nix, etc. And all of those can use Guix or Nix as a userspace package manager.

    But lord have mercy. Don't use these mega black box systems. You're just accruing a gigabyte sized ball of technical debt for every component in your operating system if you use those.

    Back in January, covid gave my brother a massive stroke. He was on the verge of publishing his first* game and this was (as you'd guess) a serious derailment.

    Since January, his recovery has been good, but his therapist told him that he should completely give up the idea of publishing games. Too difficult.

    Needless to say, no way.

    If you're interested, check this out. It's a strategic deck-customizing game about combining special effects:

    From now until the end of the month Chef Louie Luigi's is offering our "Technicolor Yawn" special with rainbow-flavored dishes to tempt your palette.

    Wait, seriously? Did anyone think this one through?

    Sigh

    I swear if I didn't need the money I'd be retiring to become a goat herder.

    At least they don't send shit copy like this.

    Anywho, go to Chef Louie Luigi's and get something. Maybe it'll taste good. Who can say.

    The first tale is now free everywhere. Bootlegging over the Detroit River! Elves that need a punch in the face! Orcs at breakfast! Frozen feet and hot lead!

    Yes, this is a shameless teaser to try to get you to buy the duology. But if you hate the story, you won't like the books. If you like the story, readers assure me they get better.

    Grab it from:

    My store: https://www.tiltedwindmillpress.com/product-category/free/

    Google: https://play.google.com/store/books/details?id=MtC8EAAAQBAJ&pli=1
