we're a small underfunded team with a majority queer developers, and while we're punching way above our weight class we need the support of our community if this game is going to be a success. please boost this post, and if you can afford it buy it on steam and leave a positive review on the first day (the text doesn't matter, only the thumbs up, so "i like gay fops" is totally valid as a review)
i also want to prove fedi is powerful enough to make an indie game succeed, so even if you're not personally that into the game, please boost this post? 🙏
i usually copy people's tag to put at the start of a post to indicate that it is a reply for people who read the post in a timeline. because the fedi software i use doesn't do that on its own. but it looks like i still had your username copied, sorry about that
@tauon i find matrix somewhat messy. it's decentralized, but there is an official registration server. and most registration servers use google recaptcha. the ones that don't usually get blocked to prevent spam.
signal is alright, but it's centralized and requires a mobile app to use. even if you just want to use it on your desktop computer.
irc is alright, but somewhat limited on its own when it comes to things like file sharing and encryption.
i also though about creating my own. but i don't know how to do any network related things.
for client software i'd have made a library in a low level language that contains everything a client needs to work, apart from an interface. this way people can easily create their own clients for various platforms.
The last livestreamed keynote of #FSCI#FSCI2024#FSCI24 is GREAT
It's Danny Kingsley and Leslie McIntosh on trust in scholarly publishing and scholarship.
Also, I love that their VosViewer figure is accompanied by a clear explanation of what the nodes and edges are, and what the network structure is supposed to demonstrate. IDK why every network visualization doesn't say that.
Now they are grouching about how Twitter is no longer a good place for @academicchatter Er, hello, we are right here on Mastodon! Well, some of us are... #FSCI24
@ChaosKitsune I don't know how, but it might be possible in some cases.
many git web frontends have a feature to view raw files, those can easily be loaded.
It should also be possible to load files through just http, but some people configure their browsers to only accept https.
git itself can use both http(s) and ssh. not every server accepts both.
So it's only possible in some cases, but I don't know how you'd make it work.
What keeps you from doing something server-side?
It should be easy to configure cron to pull the files you need from some git repos
OP photo of a family shadow plunged me into a wormhole. I realized shadows have mesmerized me my whole life. I may even prefer photos of my shadow & my family's shadows to normal captures. Whether shadow obsession is a neurodivergent experience or not, the delaying bedtime due to the creative impulse taking over certainly is.

🔴 📖 The Diagrammatics of ‘Race’ Visualizing Human Relatedness in the History of Physical, Evolutionary, and Genetic Anthropology, ca. 1770-2020
“The Diagrammatics of ‘Race’ concentrates on Western projects from the late 1700s into the present to diagrammatically define humanity, subdividing and ordering it, including the concomitant endeavors to acquire representative samples―bones, blood, or DNA―from all over the world.”
