"“The law of the server is the law of the (web)site.” Or, for the more classically minded among you: lex loci machinae."

As implied, has some interesting things to say about US lawyers coming up to speed on this.

More interesting is how email suffices for legal notice in Europe! But does not satisfy US due process requirements, or as he said to the BBC, "Americans do not surrender our constitutional rights just because Ofcom sends us an e-mail."

This is becoming big due to the U.K.'s new blitzkrieg against free speech.

Bear, from the TV series The Bear with curly hair and visible forearm tattoos sits on a stainless steel kitchen counter, wearing a white shirt and blue apron. They rest one hand on their head, looking contemplative or exasperated. Behind them are shelves with kitchen supplies and a paper towel roll. Overlaid text reads: "Too much garlic"? What's next? Too much love? Too much desire?

A meme involving a scene from the 2001 film Donnie Darko in which the main protagonist Donnie Darko tells his psychiatrist Dr. Thurman that he made a new friend, and admits that it is imaginary. The text has been edited as follows. Panel 1: Donnie: "I wrote a new changelog." Panel 2: Psychiatrist: "'Fixes and improvements' or an actual list?" Panel 3: Donnie: "Fixes and improvements."

this is actually SO scary. stay safe out there everyone.

I've written a very rudimentary plugin for Allegro 5 that allows it to load QOI files as textures. Combined with the existing PhysFS plugin this gives both pretty respectable load times and compression.

https://git.worlio.com/Canithesis/allegro_qoi

There are some issues with the plugin as it is now. The big one is that it includes the reference decoder qoi.h which always returns it's own buffer with perfect pitch, and can only read files from either the standard I/O or from memory, so there's a lot of time and memory wasted just copying data around. Not quite as elegant usage as libwebp. But the format is so simple this is not a big deal and I can merge the codec into the plugin later to get around this.

Talked a little about merging this upstream into allegro_image after some additional work.

BLEXBot assists internet marketers in getting information on the link structure of sites and their interlinking on the web to avoid any technical and possible legal issues and improve the overall online experience. To do this, it is necessary to examine or crawl the page to collect and check all the links it has in its content.

If the BLEXBot Crawler has visited your site, this means that links have never been collected and tested on that page before or need to be refreshed. For this reason, you will not see recurring requests from the BLEXBot crawler on the same page.

The Crawler systems are engineered to be as friendly as possible, such as limiting request rates to any specific site (BLEXBot doesn't make more than one hit per 3 seconds) and automatically backing away if a site is down or slow.

Coming soon on your Mastodon server… The long awaited quote posts, with user-control (you can chose if you want to be quoted on a per-post basis, change it later, and retract any quote of your post)

Amazing work by the team 🎉

Expect a blog post with all the details in a few weeks, support in the mobile apps, then we will enable the feature on mastodon.social, then release Mastodon 4.5

I have Shin'en on speed dial already for potential help porting stuff to consoles in the future, because they're good at what they do.

Basically the idea is that you have a teleport beacon you can place down anywhere that you use to dodge things (anywhere underneath you, some people thought I was straight up adding a Rod of Discord type deal, no!!). Beacons have limited charges and fizzle out, so they're not free, you'll do your best if you can anticipate how to position yourself.

Dirty prototype below to show what that would look like. It's ugly, to be completely clear the lerping is just an animation and the game is actually paused during this. Will make it all crunchy and juicy later. Saving the glamor and pizzazz, as always...

I've got a lot of ideas on how this will be used in practice (after a whole year, I better have some!!) but finding the best way to convey these to other team members without a dedicated concept artist to sketch drafts of the opponents is hard, which is one of the reasons i've been so quiet about where i'm actually going with this. As we get closer, i'll finally be able to reveal what our designs will look like.
