So chat, you know how last stream we worked on Jen and they weren't even moving yet? Well here's where they are now. Yeah, I've done A LOT of off stream work this week.

They're not finished, but they are fully rigged! Just missing toggles. What a cutie!

I added textures in the missing areas, made the expression toggles, set up the physics, and hammered out errors all in a couple of days!

There’s more to #Ottawa than manicured lawns and pretty petals.

Thanks to multiple grassroots efforts, Ottawa’s bountiful greenery is getting more sustainable as #rewilding efforts are on the rise. Here are four projects that deserve attention and support.

Good morning! ☕

Some good news about #Mastodon, there has been a very significant bit of code added which will automatically fetch all the replies in a thread. This means everyone will be able to see a thread's whole conversation no matter which server they are on! 🥳

The code has just been "merged" which means it should become available in the next update to Mastodon, hopefully within the next few months.

(Those who want the technical details can see the Pull Request at https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/pull/32615)

I AM GONNA YELL WHAT THE FUUUUUCK

Kazakhstan’s health ministry rejects claims of ‘LGBT propaganda’ influencing teens

"According to the report, the LGBT movement does not push teenagers to change their sexual orientation. On the contrary, it helps them combat depression and bullying."

https://kz.kursiv.media/en/2025-03-12/engk-yeri-kazakhstans-health-ministry-rejects-claims-of-lgbt-propaganda-influencing-teens/

UPD: the article was taken down, suspecting an attempt to silence them. they still have it available at their IG page: kursiv.media, as far as i know.

truth will prevail.

Coding games really forces you to not take things for granted, like for example, you have to tell enemies to stop chasing the players after they die. Although having corpses inexorably slide towards you is a whole other level of horror.

Honestly, there should just be a tax on disposable packaging. Watch how quickly reusable packaging and refill setups become "cost-competitive".

this shit works. the left consistently underestimates the childishness of humanity.

just a reminder yall, you don't have to be a gunner to be a fighter. every soldier has someone who feeds them. someone who heals their wounds. someone who helps with organization and communications. someone who finances their cause and gathers resources and information. someone who inspires others to join them, with art and propaganda.

we all can help each other, even those who aren't bruisers and brawlers.

Update: now a blog post which I will update instead! https://nevillepark.ca/2025/03/13/branching-out-some-github-gitlab-com-alternatives/

Gitea is 1) commercial and 2) based in the US, which I know many people are looking to avoid.

@Codeberg (https://codeberg.org) is a public server running Forgejo, which began as a Gitea fork: https://forgejo.org/compare-to-gitea/ It's where I have most of my stuff.

A few more public Forgejo servers: https://codeberg.org/forgejo-contrib/delightful-forgejo#public-instances Shout-out to @besties' https://git.gay.

There's also the venerable Sourcehut, whose UI makes me break into hives: https://sourcehut.org/

Want to self-host? @yunohost is dead easy to set up and has Gogs, Gitea, Forgejo, and GitLab apps: https://apps.yunohost.org/catalog?search=git&category=dev

OK with Gitea/GitLab servers outside the US? @Framasoft has a public GitLab server: https://framagit.org So do @autonomic: https://git.autonomic.zone and https://git.coopcloud.tech, plus they'll do paid hosting (price scales with budget).

For cheap independent hosting, PikaPods has Gitea: https://www.pikapods.com/

There are SO many options if you are willing to give up the "everyone on the planet uses the same public Git server" model.

It's March 10-- Mar10-- and you know what that means; it's Great Giana Sisters day! Break out the C64s (Amigas, Ataris ST, etc. are acceptable as well)
