Hi everyone, just letting you know I have a gamedev-centric alt on @lampfairy <3 Hoping to use that environment to help me focus on development stuff, so I'll post my progress and boost useful development insight there. Give me a follow if you're interested! <3
My streamer friend Jojo made a chibi of me! It came out really cute c:

Hey everyone, want to borrow ebooks from archive.org on YOUR terms?
Here's a method I came up with using Calibre, on all platforms where it's supported.
1. Install the DeACSM and DeDRM plugins into Calibre
2. In the plugin preferences, configure DeACSM and set up anonymous authorization, then export the encryption key and import it into DeDRM's ADE keys
3. Restart Calibre! This is important!
4. On archive.org, find the book you want to borrow and loan it out
5a. If you can borrow it for two weeks, do that and download it in the format you prefer
5b. If you can only borrow it for an hour or it doesn't give you a download, borrow it anyway, then copy the identifier in the metadata, add it to the following URL: https://archive.org/services/loans/loan/?action=media_url&identifier=<IDENTIFIER GOES HERE>&format=pdf&redirect=1 and download that (you can also change the format to epub or similar but it may not always be available)
6. Add the ACSM file to Calibre and it'll download it and then decrypt it for you
7. Be sure to return the book so other people can use it right away!
Happy reading!
We just opened submissions for Big Bad Game-a-thon 2025: the yearly Twitch stream event dedicated to live commentated speedruns and superplays of kusoge, bakage, jank, etc etc etc.
Signups are open the entire month of July and the event itself is September 19-21.
If you haven't heard vee ramble about BBG before, you can see our past event VODs, read a little info, and get the signup form at the event's website: https://bigbadgameathon.com/
This event's my baby and I always push to see new faces come sign up, because I love seeing new angles and commentary on weird janky stuff.
"I am actually a princess," the frog said.
"Oh no!" said the prince.
"My curse can only be lifted by a prince listening to me."
"Of course," said the prince, and bent down with puckered lips.
"What are you doing?!"
"Kissing you, like you asked!"
"No!"
The frog hopped away, muttering.
I feel like this video should spread more, this is really intense mistreatment of artists in general, but specifically pixel artists who are already always undervalued.
A question for folks out there who read fiction. I am an indie author with a new book. I do not use AI in my writing. Should I put a note or sticker on the cover which says something like "This story is entirely human generated" or "no AI was used in the making of this book." Would readers be interested / reassured by knowing it is all human-made? My covers are also designed using photos I took myself.
Edit: Please boost for reach.
exciting opportunity for yinglets: the wiktionary entry for "yinglet" needs an illustration. you could draw yourself and add the image to wikimedia commons (with a free license) to become the dictionary example of what a yinglet looks like!
To #Blind and #LowVision Linux users:
Which #Linux or #BSD distributions are you able to install without assistance? Are there any that work better with screenreaders and other assistive technologies out of the box?
I'm trying to understand how much of the problem is specific to distributions, their installers or differences in windowing system such as Wayland breaking screenreaders vs X11.
July is coming, so I may as well start on that. I've put fresh Walmart cards in my #Throne for food, & now I've got a potentially 1k bill for school thanks to needing to withdraw from a class. I'm eternally grateful for any help
0/400 (July)
