facebook and instagram are legitimately nauseating
the main problem will be everyone in meatspace will have no idea how or what i am doing
but honestly, i can't do it anymore. i don't care if mainstream social media is the only way to reach the masses, i have to be myself.
#itch #gamejam #LispGameJam to relieve lambdaMOO I am going to jam a new locally networkable MOO server within the next 10 days using #commonLisp #mcclim.

I'm disappointed that there exist plenty of small devices that take an SD card and play videos off it, none of them seem to be themed like a VCR.
Come on guys! Make a new mold. Let me put microSD cards into a tiny, tiny VCR
the autumn lisp game jam is almost upon us! do you know where your repl is? you've got about 10 hours to find it.
I just made some big improvements to my broughlike! Check it out!

I fixed it so that it is way less likely that the player and an enemy will ever occupy the same space.
I made the enemies a lot more clever, if they’re within a specific number of spaces from the player they’ll chase the player down.
If the enemies are further away from the enemy they make a bee line for the exit. This means that as you navigate towards the exit the enemies swarm you.
The enemies can now also navigate around obstacles.
To balance the more aggressive enemies an increased the likelihood that their attacks miss.
All in all I’m pretty pleased! The game is a bit more difficult, but I think more fun now.
Many shubs and zuuls knew what it was to be roasted in the depths of the Slor that day, let me tell you.
Google is making almost all its money from ads right?
So you'd assume that whatever else they may tail with, at least they got the ads business down, yes?
I never watch videos directly on Youtube because the video ads are too painful, but I do browse the recommended feed sometimes. Since I have as much ad targeting disabled I get the location-targeted bargain-bin ads in the feed, and they're often quite funny to see in their stupidity.
But there is one neverending feed of ads that is a pure scam. It's a make money quick scam that advertises itself with a picture of people in line outside of bank branches (taken during covid when they restricted how many people could be inside a public location at a time). Sometimes they also slap a logo from a legit news organisation on top of it as well.
I've entertained myself by reporting this scam to see how many variations I can see, and it never ends. The scammer uses a large number of sockpuppet accounts as well, so clearly they've been banned in the past.
You'd think their magin ai systems would be able to flag theee scams, but cleaely not. Apparently they can't even get ads right.
I've attached some screenshots from today's haul. I think I've reported about 50 today alone.
I'd love to hear from someone with inside knowledge how something like this can fly under the radar.
Your friendly reminder that

Okay. Okay!!! I did it!!!
I made a web browser!!!
It is the world's *worst* web browser!!!
But it is a web browser!!!
(The video glitches at the end. This is Ubuntu's fault. The video is supposed to show me loading mastodon.social and "(Page is empty.)" displaying because I choke on the JavaScript. I'm exhausted and not fixing this.)

fucken more power to you. that took real courage and i honestly feel so much better about this tour of the british royal family.
and yes--at some point the emperor has to be told he has no clothes on. i'm sick of walking around this place having to pretend as if colonisation didn't happen.
i think long and hard about what had to happen in order for it to be possible to stuff your gob full of toxic fast food 24/7. or the fact that at the rate things are going we'll destroy all the biota in western australia without ever identifying them.
as far as i'm concerned bruce pascoe's dark emu is entirely true. the speed and tenacity with which that man and his book was dismissed and belittled in every mainstream organ of communication, tells me there is still an active intent to cover up just how much bloodshed and misery first nations people have had, and continue to go through, to make the commonwealth of australia possible.
if lidia thorpe chose to keep in line, wait her turn, and speak only when permitted in the face of the continued genocide of australian aboriginal people, i can promise you nothing here would ever change.
somehow people can repeat 'when injustice become our law, resistance becomes our duty', but believe that it does not apply for all cases. i think to myself these people have not progressed one bit beyond a high school education about australian history, and have not yet developed the capacity to think independently for themselves.
always was, always will be aboriginal land.
