Immutable releases announced at GitHub Universe!

Once tagged, releases can’t be changed. No more worrying about malicious actors swapping out assets or moving tags.

Single-use version tags with signed attestations. This is the supply chain protection open source really needs 🔒

My 10 year old just landed their first craft on Duna and I couldn't be more proud

The lander had a rocket descent system inspired by Curiosity

They didn't even use a transfer window calculator, they did it by eye based on looking at diagrams. That's more hardcore than I ever did it

I need someone to tell me if Season 2 of Fionna and Cake is anywhere near as mindblowingly fantastic as the first. Season 1 lives as a top 3 show ever in my mind, and I was actually bummed they announced a season 2 because it's just so *complete*

I gotta know S2 is world class before I risk it

If you’re in a creative field and you don’t lift up the work of your peers, you can’t expect people to care about your stuff
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Back in 2002 I implemented an A* pathfinding algorithm in a custom Neverwinter Nights map to allow NPCs to walk between their homes and shops and anything else, along the roads. I was recreating the town of Hommlet from Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil

getting close to 4k followers on here. I would really love for it to overtake Instagram’s 10k. I really hate Instagram.

Still thinking about the guy playing Warhammer at our local gameshop who, when my 4-year-old asked why they were fighting, turned his head to look at them with the enthusiasm of someone who had waited their entire life for someone to ask and said stoically “in the grimdark future there is only war“

Tonight, for the first time, I played Kerbal Space Program multiplayer with my kid. I docked with the station they put in orbit! What a dream come true a decade in the making.

Why is it evil and a risk to credit card payment processors when it’s one adult woman making CNC kink videos but it’s a pop culture phenomenon when Khal Drogo rapes Daenerys after being sold to him by her brother?

The latest @home-assistant.io update brought an amazing improvement to automation editing. By putting the node config in a separate frame, it's so much easier to edit parameters while still keeping view of the overall automation flow. Such a seemingly small change with massive usability impact!

This is your regularly-scheduled reminder to exercise your right to download archives from the services you use and archive them in your backups. Don't let a service shutting down (or legislation backsliding) cause you to lose years of data that belongs to you.

I have come to really love MacOS, but I hate Finder with a fiery passion

Tell me how to fix this, is there some third party option that makes it not the worst file management experience on the planet?
