I'm just saying, if @graze.social was open source I'd be writing a PR instead

Trump pardoned Changpeng Zhao. Every month that his company, #binance, doesn't redeem the trump-coins it got from the #UAE makes millions for the Trump family. Why might Sheikh Tahnoon choose to park his $2B in Trump's bank account?
This is #corruption, plain and simple.
A triangle of corruption. Trump pardons Zhao, Zhao gets 2B in USD1 from Sheikh Tahnoon, which he got from Trump for $2B. Trump makes ~$70M/yr on that as long as Zhao and Tanoon (Binance) don't redeem the USD1.

Not what I meant when I asked for 3 chrome instances each taking up a third of my screen 🤣
Each google chrome instance is running Star Gambit. They each take up a third of the screen, but it's split horizontally so each window is short and wide.

Camouflage gambit was too strong, had to nerf.
Shaders are cool, I just wish Flutter let me apply them on web natively.

A before/after image of green space battleships on a green background. On the left, contrast is bad and the ships are hard to make out. On the right, the ships have a cell-shaded black/teal outline making them far easier to see.

Yes!!!!! AND it's the basis for a hexagonal coordinate system that makes basically all of the algorithms way easier!!!!

In some ways, this is the most powerful group in #Nepal right now. #Democracy could use a win. Wishing them the best.

#atproto ppl... are we really gonna let #discord outdo us like that?
A discord server called Youths Against Corruption. It's obviously extremely active, with 117 people in voice and a thread with 12764 messages visible. Thread titles include "Online election voting" and "The new leaders and the real criminals"

Who here loves some good cable management?

An upside-down L-shaped standing desk with lots of cables routed. A large PC tower stands beside. The same standing desk, but with a completed battlestation. It features 5 total screens across two computers, both a gaming and an ergonomic keyboard/mouse set, an AT2020 mic, and headphones. A shot from below the desk, showing clean cable management.

Star Gambit is starting to look good! We've got new models/colors and the beginnings of a cosmetics system with the health markers!

A digital board game featuring a green space fleet facing off against a deep purple fleet. The green side's ships have health indicated via red bars while the purple side has little red hearts.

Day 10 of fleet maneuvers near MQ-7438b. Crews report experiencing ship collisions and fiery ends. Ships are undamaged, crews are alive. Mass hallucination?

Here's a sneak peek at Star Gambit! Now with spaceships instead of grey hexagons!
