Hahaha, it’s a play on my name and the Pokemon yeah. But I am also a red dwarf fan so perhaps it has 3 meanings!

So many people asking what the point is while I’m over here enjoying my new system icon. Thanks for the post!!! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Only real reason I use fennec over mull is mull by default has a fingerprinting setting that, while being better for privacy, locks the app to 60hz and my phone supports 120hz. If 60hz doesn’t bother you then I think mull is the better choice. But they’re really similar at the end of the day

Afaik he’s always been independent. I think he ran with the democratic party for the presidency, but unless I missed something he’s always been independent with his senate position

Yeah I’m kind of puzzled by it too lol. I wish they had just kept their original solution of using Macs to run iMessage. Perhaps if they had gotten popular it still would have been blocked, but their whole strategy of being super open about it is odd. I suppose they thought they could fight it but evidently that wasn’t the case.

Overall though I agree with the post, the app is really nice, the new android version is super slick and if they can get all the other connections working locally like they want, it’ll be even better

Gaming mod here. We’re pretty lax on being on or off topic. Your post would definitely be welcome on there, and I imagine on the technology community as well!

GB studio is a really cool engine. I definitely recommend checking it out. I haven’t done much with it, but it’s a great option if you’re looking to make a platformer, or top down adventure game. Extrapolating to code is a bit… Lacking unless you are a fan of assembly haha. There is little to no code writing involved in GB studio, and when you do have to do some, it involves using the GBVM custom assembly language.

I have heard of game jams :) I did the GMTK 2022 game jam recently. It was a lot of fun! Definitely would love to do one again

I was going to make a simple brick breaker kinda game in GB studio. Turns out that engine is really good at very specific kinds of games, and trying to do anything outside that involves some serious engine tinkering.

So instead I decided to spin up a GBA dev environment to make it. Obviously a lot more involved than the drag and drop interface of GB studio but the homebrew scene is pretty large and there have been lots of tools made to make it easier. Mainly I wanted to make something I could play on my analogue pocket. GBA seems the best choice now

Agreed summit is great. It’s my go to until sync gets some more updates

Yeah it def is a lot more fantasy but I also feel the world is so alien seeming it could fit the bill. I love how crustacean heavy the fauna is. But yeah not a traditional sci-fi setting by any means

Not really space-y but I’m obsessed with storm light archives which I think checks some of the boxes you’re talking about. That and everything else cosmere too.

Am I wrong or is this article 3 years old?

Update. Things are not looking good here :(

7 of the nine Seattle city council seats are up for election, which should make for an interesting election. Hoping the union supported candidates fair better

I feel the same way. I end up being in 30 or so different Pokemon ROM hack servers just to get the patch files for the games. Very frustrating to have to do that when there are websites dedicated to hosting these files

Unfortunately seems like this won’t help that, if they expect you to be on the server to get the files. The article says the links will be auto refreshed daily, so it’s only the links shared outside the server that won’t work after a day :(

This sucks so much. Why’d epic even want them in the first place. This feels like it was so avoidable

I mean, the EEOC is literally suing them. Not sure what part you don’t believe. If you don’t believe that stuff actually happened there, did you read to the end of the article? It’s not the first time they’ve been accused of this

I see what you’re saying. I do agree that people should have the opportunity to be educated to at least a baseline understanding of some things. If for nothing else but to avoid being scammed.

I mean ideally I would just like these companies to be held responsible for doing shady stuff behind the scenes, I don’t think having easy to understand UIs (and as a result, a bit obfuscated from what’s actually happening) and such have to be a bad thing. But maybe it’s too idealistic to want that and expect companies to actually be held accountable if the obfuscation is hiding bad stuff

This seems needlessly gatekeepy to me. Are you saying everyone using technology needs to learn exactly how it all works? People aren’t allowed to just use the tools provided to them? Like are cameras worse now that you can just point and shoot vs having to go through many steps for the photo to maybe turn out ok?
