Anyone up for a stream this Friday?
Unsure yet if it would be a #gaming, #webdev, or #gamedev stream. Lots of varying things to work on for sure, but also it's the holidays.
Open to suggestions!

I've seen a few people expressing interest in #webdev streaming/streamers instead of just #gamedev. I need to setup a site for @helicalgames.net anyway - and can't really show off Forge atm, so would there be any interest in a #webdev #stream this weekend probably over on

If you feel oppressed elsewhere, everyone is welcome in my communities. And if I see hate it'll be a swift way to earn a block and a report.
The targeting and bullying on other platforms is unacceptable. Hopefully we keep Bluesky clear of that kind of trash behavior.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence.
More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop.

A brief thread on alt-text.
Alt text is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image. It's designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. When a person uses assistive technology such as a screen reader, the screen reader will read the onscreen text aloud 1/7

Let me set expectations for what "forge" is. Think of Trello, but with a few more Jira features thrown in +
• self-hosted (we have no plans for Saas)
• open-source (unclear on the final license-specifics)
• low-cost (we're aiming for a one-time license fee or donation model)

We don't have a name for it yet (not a marketable one anyway), or an ETA. The days are still early, but it is being developed to support UmbraForge, and will comprise of several apps designed to work together.
The first is currently just codenamed "forge" and is the core of the system.

I'm sure the lists I am on helped immensely, so it's not very organic, but if you're taking interest in anything I post I appreciate it!
