“I'm so embarrassed. I wish everybody else was dead.”

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I see him on those photos, and his singing starts ringing in my ears. I also thought, “I am going to miss him” because, you know, nothing is everlasting. But then I reproached myself; “enjoy the moment, dude, don’t taint it”. And so I shall.

In-reply-to » 495 turns and about ~4hrs alter I won! 🙌 Small map, 2-players, myself and an AI player. 😅 Media -- It took forever to beach the island the AI player was on and get enough Galley's and Swordsmen just to push back and eventually slowly destroy all enemy units and capture all cities! 🤣

@prologic@twtxt.net I am going to give it a more serious spin (meaning I am going to go read the help page). I’ve got to tell you though, most successful games do not need a help. But I am fully aware that there is a subset of gamers that would not mind—if not appreciate—a game with help, manual, and the likes.

@prologic@twtxt.net I am fairly bad, or have a very poor understanding of the game, so I can’t figure out what to do. Tried a few times. 😅 Also, I am sure you know by now, but it is not mobile friendly at all. Maybe put a notice when on mobile stating that the game is for desktop, or bigger screens (tablets), only?

Congratulations!

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org maybe they go after the impact. A single? Meh. An album? “Woah! These guy(s)/gal(s) are busy!” Also more possibilities for people liking at least one song. Anyway, that’s my theory, and I am sticking to it! :-P

Just saw the video. Can’t believe that ladder is that expensive. Even in AUD, it is almost $100. It is also 2.5 stars, with 13 reviews. Gulp. Engineering aside (and you are right, it is pretty interesting, and some, if not most of it went over my head), the ladder is rubbish. This is the one I have. Not super, but have been with me for a while, and used quite a bit, still as good as new.

I don’t know what surprises me the most. Is it the dangerous in red, or the fact we need a 21 minutes video about it. LOL. Sorry, sorry, shouldn’t joke about such safety nightmare. My bad. I will go to my lane now. 🙈

In-reply-to » Just cancelled my sponsorship of two developers on Github, sorry 😞 -- I'm not going to sponsor going forward if no-one else can be bothered to. It seems silly to be the sole sponsor of another's work or project 🤦‍♂️

@prologic@twtxt.net I sponsor no one. If getting paid is the aim, form a business, or sell a product. I donate to just causes, though, including sponsorship to the dispossessed.

In-reply-to » Another AI rant:

@movq@www.uninformativ.de that’s the way large language models work, with a prompt. Rather than entering the prompt, most inference providers allow for specific files to be created that define the scope of what’s been requested, the skills the model is supposedly to posses, the stuff to “remember”, etc. Some will “learn” and add that “knowledge” to the proper files.

In-reply-to » Just a couple of shots from our trip to Bald Rock—finally got reception so I can share them!

Lovely pics, mate! Looks like the weather cooperated nicely too! 😍 Take more, share, but, most importantly, continue having fun! 🙏🏻

Everything changes, right? I know we sound like curmudgeons, and perhaps AI is the next step. We are living its early infancy, the struggles and dislikes, the errors and flaws, and generations after us will simply benefit from it, and see it as natural as my children see the Internet today (it isn’t natural to me, I was born way before it).

Or maybe AI isn’t the next step. Either way, whether we like it or not, there is truly absolutely nothing (or close to) we can do. Well, complain we can, of course. :-P

In-reply-to » (#kdabyoa) @lyse easy come, easy go. They grow so fast! :-) Also, Azabache allows to be seeing when ready for it, you know, just like Gandalf “a wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to”. :-D

Interesting. Another parsing issue? Let’s test: this should be italics. Then this also should be “italics”. End.

@kiwu@twtxt.net meh, wish I could say I had a great day. What is worse, tomorrow is back at work again. There isn’t a single day I think: did we evolved, and when through all those troubles, to end up like this?!

In-reply-to » In case you’re wondering where they are: https://artemistracker.com/

@movq@www.uninformativ.de with the current regime, everything is, to put it politely, rather odd, and in disarray. They have yesterday’s window, otherwise the next one was on the 12 of April, or something like that. We knew it was going up for a few days, but we are used to that kind of thing, so it is not that super exciting any more. LOL.

Yeah, I saw it in person.

In-reply-to » I made the classic mistake. I thought I was smarter than this. I could try to scrub this from my repository, but that seems like more trouble than it's worth, so here it is for your enjoyment: https://fossil.falsifian.org/misc/info/f6fa59e27781ce75f4cbaf700997ffffab41ad9d2e97b4aa3e360400ead3532c

@falsifian@www.falsifian.org wow, it has been a while since I saw Fossil. I am surprised it is still around!

Woah, now this “rain, snow, hail, thunder, wind and sunshine” is truly something! We have started to get our “summer-in-spring” afternoon rains, turning the previously brown lawn super green, and making it grow at an exorbitant pace. Soon I will be force to mow weekly, and I am certainly not looking forward to it. 😅

In-reply-to » @zvava how is that client coming along? "/me gently pushes zvava towards a working desk" 😂

@zvava@twtxt.net rooting for it, and you! As soon as there is a stable (no future truly breaking changes) working alpha (can post, can follow, can reply), I will give it a spin! And yes, I understand the contradiction of “stable” and “alpha”; hoping my meaning comes through, LOL.

In-reply-to » 2nd Van trip coming up this weekend, taking Friday off work. Gonna sleep in the Van tonight and see if I can fiddle with the town water supply (basically our outside tap near the Van haha 😆) and see if I can have a shower in the Van, brush my teeth and go to bed 🛌 -- Basically I just want to figure out the rest of the plumbing 🪠

@prologic@twtxt.net must be nice. Congrats! I am happy for you! 😂 Off jesting, enjoy mate! The rest of us will continue slaving ourvselves. 😅

In-reply-to » In the interest of fairness and hopefully for the last time, I ever have to address this, Google has flip-flopped again and promised "sideloading" will not be removed from their version of Android, but instead have to be enabled in the developer settings, using the following "advanced flow": Media To be perfectly clear, this still falls short of what I wanted, but at this point, it is a compromise I'm willing to take, over further pursuing this, through the various available European courts, myself.

@thecanine@twtxt.net congrats on the win! Hopefully it will not turn sour with the next “enter period of time here”. It seems flip-flopping is the law of the land around here.

I never got to ask you, are you affected by this as a developer, or end user, or both?

In-reply-to » This year for some reason or another, I decided to purchase an Ocarina, I've been practising a fair bit every now and again, basically during work breaks and sometimes in the afternoon / evenings (not enough to annoy the family 🤣) Anyhoo, that was 3 months ago, since then I've built up a bit of a Repertoire:

@prologic@twtxt.net don’t! You might be into troubles. Just record something small, and masterful, for us to listen, forget the costume. 😅
