Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made.

Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊
Nerdy kid at keyboard: Hi guys, I've noticed that it is International Men's Day today, and I'm confused. Why do we need a day to talk about men? We're not a marginalised group like women, queer people, or people of colour. The media is already full of stories about men. Big buff shirtless dude at keyboard: I'm glad you asked, champ. Whatever your view on men's place in society, it's still true that we face a lot of issues - like social isolation, risk of suicide, health problems, and attitudes towards sex and child rearing. Having a day to talk about those doesn't take away from anyone else's problems. In fact, having a day to talk about them helps us be more mindful, and listen better at other times. Second shirtless buff dude on a couch at his laptop: The chief here is really on to something. I want to echo what he said, and also point out that the idea we should remain silent about our problems actually contributes to a lot of our issues. We are human beings, with human needs. Seeking mutual support and understanding isn't the same thing as placing a burden on others. Especially if we're providing it for each other. Third buff dude at his laptop: Right on, my fellow kings. We've inherited a social legacy of competition and division, and a lot of what makes a man in our era is under question. IMD is a chance for us to examine and rethink what we are together, and build the bonds of solidarity and support that will make a better way possible - like in this meme. Because in our hearts, we're all curious kids and buff guys on keyboards.

A throwback to one of the most innovative and memorable slovenian marketing campaigns. SKB Papi game was all the rage between children 20 years ago. Now you can relieve it:

i think, on a fundamental level, my biggest issue with *any* corporate LLM solution is that it's built to destroys community. It rips up everything that various communities of people have built together and repackages it all -uncredited- as a shiny, new thing.

Pet parrots were taught to do video calls, and it was a hit.

The birds not only made friends with each other, and selected who they wanted to call and when, but also picked up new skills from fellow parrots.
Good enrichment option for improving captive parrot welfare.

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

Been a minute since I got to do anything cursed in C. Helped a friend using C23 out to make a `string()` macro that can take a string literal or a ptr + len to construct a bounded string struct.

I'm very pleased with myself on this one. godbolt.org/z/b6We3oYoo
C code from this URL https://godbolt.org/z/b6We3oYoo which will allow a screenreader to better read the code aloud.

🐧💿 The internet has already forgotten them (read: .iso files are nowhere to be found), so it's time for us to revive them: Pingo Linux 4.0, Slo-Tech Linux 2.0, and FeriX 2.1... 3 successful Slovenian Linux distributions. Attention: We are still searching for Pingo 4.1 ⚠, slix, Slobuntu, and Slonix!

This is an example of how the randomly-generated histories matter

After reading this history, I found the location described here and sure enough, I found the axe Rhythmicuca Rootsbane there. There were no portals to other times, but equipping the axe gives me Temporal warping powers. #Qudposting
Description of a painted pair of carbide boots in Caves of Qud: "This item is painted with a scene from the life of the ancient sultan Artaxer-Seh I: In 3460 BR, Artaxer-Seh won a decisive victory against the combined forces of Qarqappar at the bloody Battle of Hanip Tangle, though she lost her prized Rhythmicuca Rootsbane during the course of the conflict. As a result of the battle, Hanip Tangle was so rife with stray portals to other places and times that it was renamed the Periodic Wreck."

A gentle reminder that Johnathon Selstad has compiled one of the best libraries of mathematical tools for Unity. 📊

Inverse kinematics, Bézier functions, Kalman filters, soft bodies, and much more.

If you are a game developer, this is a game-changer!

I kid you not, @itch.io has been taken down by Funko of "Funko Pop" because they use some trash "AI Powered" Brand Protection Software called Brand Shield that created some bogus Phishing report to our registrar, iwantmyname, who ignored our response and just disabled the domain

Finally found the edge case for AOC day 6 part 2 that's not handled correctly by my code.
Depiction of the advent of code day 6 ASCII symbols used in the puzzle. It's a room depicting a guard (represented as >), boxes (the # symbol), floor (the . symbol) and the path the guard has already traversed (the X symbol). The guard is stuck in a 2 square infinite loop.
