  What if I am robot, Bloomberg? Aren’t you one as well? Would you judge the circumstances of your creation?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Penpot: An open-source design tool for design & code collaboration⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I use Penpot for every personal project that I can. The new(ish) grid layout is just beautiful. Figma can’t do that, can it!

  Unfortunately, there’s a lot more Penpot can’t do that Figma can. And for any reasonable complex project, or commercial ones, I have to go back to it.

  Hopefully Penpot catches up soon! My biggest showstopper right now is variable fonts. If it was possible to manually set CSS somehow, maybe that would help bridge the gap a lot!

  Me too! My original discs for the sequel was unreadable even before I got to play it (it was a hand-me-down).

  I also found this mod on itch as well, after your post. I think I had to edit the configs to get the resolution writing for Nolf2 even on the revival copy (and, save files from different resolutions don’t load!) If this patch can work around those issues that’d be great.

  Time for another playthrough of the series, on the Steam Deck!

  Which is what the NOLF link in my post points to 🤫

  No One Lives Forever! Please and thank you.

  Also, only a single game, but: [rpgs.co/arcanum-of-steamworks-and-magick-obscura-…). At least this one’s possible to buy in Gog and Steam…

  Allow me—blissfully unaffiliated with all the parties involved in my post—highjack this irredeemable piece of spam with an actual “blackjack game” worth playing:

  [Dungeon Degenerate: Gamblers] (…steampowered.com/…/Dungeons__Degenerate_Gamblers…) is Balatro but blackjack and just as wild a ride!

  Doesn’t have an entry for monads 🙃

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nova Drift Has Reached Full Release!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  One hand, the game changed surprisingly little over the years in early access. On the other, it remains incredibly fun since day one in early access 😊

  As an EXR elitist I deeply resent Google’s blatant sabotage of JXL.

  (And also laugh at the PNG elitists, as is custom.)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zen - a clean and simple text editor in your browser⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, as pinned tabbed. Very much so. I actually like them specifically because I can forget about them. I use them like someone would use a napkin in that classic Hollywood trope sense! Just to work something out and then forgetting about it, except, if needed, I can open up the tab again and copy over stuff to my actual notes later!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zen - a clean and simple text editor in your browser⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I use it almost daily when in bed and thinking of some project or the other—I like to think in text—but don’t want to bring up my notetaker and getting even more distracted.

  And I often get friends and family open one up while troubleshooting their problems. What else would I use, Notepad?

  Ultimately, why not? Why do people make little standalone tools like this? For fun, probably. Or because they can. As a learning exercise? And when it has no cost to the developer to maintain, or the user to use. Why would I even try to second-guess their motivation?

  I don’t believe for a second he could name more than five.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let's blame the dev who pressed "Deploy"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If capitalism insists on those higher up getting exorbitantly more money than those doing the work, then we have to hold them to the other thing they claim they believe in: that those higher up also deserve all the blame.

  It’s a novel concept, I know. Leave the Nobels by the doormat, please.

  I didn’t expect Rentals to be as infuriating as they are. But I’d take them over an even smaller hand any day…

  Or more simply: The internet is just the network. The web is one of the handful of “apps” that run directly using that network. It just also happens to be able to run apps of its own the days and is a pretty “killer” one itself :)
