Ooohkayy!! the first pre-release of PSD Importer for #GodotEngine !
worked a bunch on making the documentation and README as good as I can.
just remembered i'm not mentioning gdnative or godot-rust at all, something i need to definitely do, since there aren't compilation instructions yet 😅
i'll definitely get to that, but for now, enjoy this little prerelease! #GameDev #rust

thinking about "public transit strikes are universally evil because they affect people who rely on that service" when the ones in Portugal were happening
Y'know the ones where the drivers still worked but they just refused to take fares and just ran the system themselves with no fares
And it worked way better than it did with fares.
But hey let's ignore that so we can get angry about workers striking is bad

Time for a Completely Unscientific Poll because I am a wee bit curious. Please boost this for reach.
Writers of Mastodon: Have you ever gotten a false positive on tests that claim to detect AI-assisted writing? I have a sneaking suspicion that neurotype is a factor here, so I'm adding "autistic" and "non-autistic" separators in the options.

techbro: I'm gonna write code to take advantage of all this juicy Mastodon data!
Techbro, shortly later: wow the Mastodon people are really unpleasant to people who take advantage of all that data, and that makes me sad and now I won't make tools that unethically take advantage of all the data
Me: System working as designed.
@Canageek@wandering.shop Oh oh I think I recognize this one! (But I won't spoil it)

Time to mute the tech company dudebro who built a proprietary Mastodon browser extension and *somehow* got boosted onto my feed

The aim of https://Fedi.Garden is to help people discover small and medium sized servers on Mastodon and the Fediverse.
All of the servers listed comply with the Mastodon Covenant (https://joinmastodon.org/covenant), have fewer than 50,000 members, are open for public signups and block threads.net. They can be any sort of Fediverse server, not just Mastodon.
If you run such an instance, send me a message if you'd like to be listed.

So there’s a global economic slowdown, various countries in recession, an ongoing cost of living crisis, a global energy crisis, and a pandemic that the governments are now trying to ignore. Not to mention the ever-present climate crisis. But corporations are STILL reporting record profits? What will it take to make people admit that capitalism is ruining us? Is all of this somehow not enough?

The fact you're looking at this on an ActivityPub-enabled Fediverse app demonstrates that a community of focused individuals can create a global-scale network around an open standard that rivals (or, frankly, beats) pretty much anything capitalism could create, even at its 'best'.
And these communities create without profit motive - just because they share a vision and think it'd be a good thing. All they require is sustainability, not exploitative profit.
I think that's worth celebrating.

If I have to prove I'm not a computer by identifying traffic lights and busses, perhaps we're not quite ready for self-driving cars.

@alex@tech.lgbt @simon_brooke@mastodon.scot @dean @soatok@furry.engineer Correct. This is the same reason that a "can we set cookies" dialog is a red flag telling you that a site is trying to do sketchy shit - because asking that question isn't necessary for actually providing the service you *asked* for, but only for additional data gathering and such.
