I haven’t seen much coverage yet of the fresh round of layoffs at Bandcamp?
From the linked Bluesky post:
> my 13 years at bandcamp are coming to an end - i’ve been laid off along with most of the remaining engineers. best job i’ve ever had, working with the best people you could ever work with. unceremonious end to quite a ride.

Lisp reminds me of the Aristotelian/Ptolemaic insistence on celestial perfection. Everything's in perfect circles (matched parens) and if it isn't perfect yet, just add more.
Lisp is beautiful
Hi, I'm brand new to Mastodon so figuring out the lay of the land 😄. My name is Veros(she/her) and I'm 36. I'm a book blogger. I mostly read Fantasy but Sci-Fi, Romance, Hist Fic, Horror, and Mystery are in the mix. I'm a big fan of supporting indie authors.
I'm also into gaming (board games & video games), crafting, and metal music.
I want to immerse myself in art and human connection and avoid AI forever.
My dog and best friend, Cheeto, will also make appearances 😉 #Introduction
I couldn't find a list of all the operating systems currently available via the Virtual OS Museum (https://virtualosmuseum.org/), so I created one:
Number of installations to choose from: 1703.
@pluralistic Or as I recently put it in scifi Star Trek terms:
We've finally invented a basic universal translator, and a bunch of idiots think it will be able to run the entire ship.
pkg_size that lets you query the size of a package and any dependencies that would need to be installed* without installing it.* (it totals the sizes that pkg_add -s reports for every mountpoint and converts it to usable SI units, not just bytes)https://codeberg.org/rldane/scripts/src/branch/main/pkg_size
It has no dependencies outside of base* (I just reworked it to use/bin/ksh instead of bash).* (Actual dependencies/external binaries called: basename, bc, grep, mktemp, pkg_add, pkg_info, rm, sed, tee)$ pkg_size qemuUsage:

The ellipsis image at the end is not a hyperlink. Don't even look at the png filename as if it would be a clue to a URL. Stop that at once.

Alright Fediverse, Veridian Expanse is my twin stick crafting exploration game. A bit like a sci-fi arcade-y Terraria or Subnautica. Written in C with a custom renderer and fancy 2D lighting. :D
I'm trying out an early access web playable demo while I wait for Valve to review the Steam one. Wishlists and boosts very very appreciated!
https://veridianexpanse.com/demo/
(Note: web demo is unplayable on mobile without a gamepad, and browser support for them is spotty)
