the #lispGameJam is coming down to the wire! getting in last minute bug fixes and so far resisting the temptation to make any non-bugfix changes

the antagonist for our #lispGameJam entry is an LLM and I'm having trouble writing its lines

realizing it's partly because I have somehow been able to avoid exposure to that writing recently, somehow? I'll take the W

day 1 of the #lispGameJam and I gotta say I missed being back on #love2d

the live reload situation is just night and day compared to tic80; feels good

three days in (after lobsters mods caved to the langlemangle bros): I had left the IRC channel and purged the site out of my browser history, and honestly I haven't been reflexively reaching for it like I thought I would

couple times I've opened a new tab, typed "lo" and saw that it completed to "localhost" and then thought, "oh right" and went back to whatever I was doing

so I'm spending more time in chat and focusing on communities what do value solidarity; overall a win

feel like the meme potential of this #achewood is extra applicable today

the year of betrayal continues: https://lobste.rs/s/h0eate/updates_site_guidelines_ai_llm_tags

admittedly I have been expecting this for a while, but lobsters just removed the vibecoding tag, which formerly allowed you to filter slop stories out of your front page

this was the one thing that was keeping that site tolerable to use in the deluge of crap

hate to cede this to the celery men but I don't really see myself continuing to use that site now that the mods are showing their true colors

the site had its problems, but the lobsters IRC channel on libera chat has up till now been quite good, and I'll be sad to say goodbye

disco elysium setting but the failed revolution that ended 50 years ago that your character is still sad about is the free software revolution

cherry on top of the shit sandwich has been spending the evening trying freebsd across five different thinkpads and suspend works on a grand total of one of them (the one with the worst battery)

on one of them it couldn't even find the wifi device

I used to think of debian as one of the wonders of the modern world; you could pull in endless marvels with the flick of a wrist

now it's all going up in smoke; such a senseless waste of something that used to give me hope

guess that's the end of any hope I had for debian; if you can't even manage to pull the right answer on the easy question, there's no hope for dealing with the hard work we've got a head of us recovering from this ongoing disaster

whenever I hear about people installing millions of lines of code from someone they've never heard of from npm or whatever, I imagine them finding a hot dog on the side of the road

and they're like "oh cool; free hot dog!" and I'm like "you're going to eat that?" and they're like "yeah of course; it's a free hot dog! have to be crazy to turn that down" and I'm like "huh"
