trying to learn Minecraft with the 7yo is making me feel *old*

a few more years and a robot could make it for you!

those of us who were born in 1982 grew up in a unique time and have had some really interesting life experiences, but what really makes me laugh is when people born before or after 1982 claim that they’ve also had life experiences. get serious. no you haven’t

A screenshot of MusicBrainz’ Release rate of change graph, from 2020 to 2025, which jumps from about 700 releases being added a day to ~1,800

I recently caught someone talking smack about how many people use MusicBrainz, and it made me go check. Just to reassure myself...

To my delight, I was reminded that our editors are killing it!!

~700 releases added /day in 2020, up to ~1,800 in 2025: beta.musicbrainz.org/statistics/t...

Modelling Agent Behaviour with Bevy Behave Interactive blog post about modelling agent behaviour with Bevy Behave

Check out this excellent interactive blog post demonstrating bevy_behave, my #rust behaviour tree crate for @bevyengine.org Good use of compiling to wasm and embedding bevy in a webpage ⭐

the 15th anniversary remaster cover for the fat of the land just adding more crabs is one of the funniest album covers I’ve ever seen. i think about it all the time

also, i'm now fully ready to steal the identity of all the neighbourhood cats

Replaced a faulty microchip-reading catflap. Didn't even have to grab that cat and shove him through to train it this time: used my Flipper Zero to read and then emulate his rfid chip, and configure the catflap while he was snoozing

Wrote a low-overhead behaviour tree crate for @bevyengine.org that does dynamic spawning for tasks.

Here's the chase demo from the repo running 100k behaviour trees (second video in the README)

my Amazon account is more than 18 years old, and I still had to produce ID when getting a small knife delivered..

realised i had around 500GB in ~/src/*/target directories from random old rust projects.. very happy to reclaim that space.

Love getting dissed by the fancy AI code editor autocomplete suggesting:

I thought timezones sucked, but then I read about how astrophysicists represent time 😵‍💫

fascinating review of goings on in database-land this past year

amazing work on avian in 2024, looking forward to seeing what you cook up in 2025 😀

hey chat, i need your help for a bit of fiction i’m writing.

what would you say is the onomatopoeia of a modem connecting?

please feel free to be as elaborate as possible.

a shiny new Crokinole board and instruction manual

Christmas Crokinole!

Rare opportunity right now to hire a Jonty

every site needs a version of somethingawful's "we can just ban you" policy to use against bad actors who make a game of ruining the site while making sure to always stay 1% shy of violating the rules as-written

No one will ever know how many failed workflow runs i deleted from github. Obviously I got it right first time 😇

Wrote about my experiments selecting a netcode model for a multiplayer asteroids game, and how to deploy @bevyengine.org gameservers on Edgegap

Quora was good, briefly. one day I flagged something for being easy to answer with a Google search, mods allowed it, last time I ever posted. Etsy was best when it was just handmade stuff by small creators. Many such examples.

hmm, need to check my list of domain names for novelty bsky accounts

if us-west-1 drops offline delete this thread

how much chaos can this cause? 👀

Paprika, the best app ever, is having their annual sale

I searched for "messages", and it returned "examples/interest_management" which contains some of the letters from "message" in the correct order..

Bemused, flabbergasted, and bamboozled by whatever the github search thingamabob is doing here. I'm searching for a word, not doing a cryptic crossword.

I miss the days when multi protocol messengers like pidgin were all you needed
