apparently Elon's gotten so mad about Grok not answering questions about Afrikaners the way he wants, xAI's now somehow managed to put it into some kind of hyper-Afriforum mode where it thinks every question is about farm murders or the song "Kill the Boer"

oh they did something recently?

no i just always hated unity. its a travesty, other aspiring game devs have backed me up on this, and i have no idea how people put up with this software. geniunely the most 2/10 shit i've ever used.

Only times I ever hear trump's voice is when he says something incredibly stupid so just hearing his voice makes me giggle and laugh nowadays, as if he's a joke himself, which he kinda is I suppose

Excitedly waiting for the TDC17 drum from Rhythmagica!!
I've tried taiko arcade a little in Malaysia and Taiwan, it was really fun.

Unfortunately almost all taiko simulators are terrible so I'll have to play on rhythm festival (pretty) and osu (custom songs).

"we stole it first"

from land to llm training data, it's a similar story

Day 2 of using #bevy, making a song select menu.

Bevy UI is not *bad* but it's not great either, but all engines have kinda bad UI systems. I suspect there's a lot of bugs from Taffy, not bevy, but there are some broken layout properties.

Day 1 of trying out Bevy. I'm making a DDR/StepMania clone.

Quick and dirty blog post that probably didn't need writing in the end. nobbele.dev/blog/2025-01...

All the existing posts (incl. Bevy docs) reference a "udev" package that doesn't seem to exist anymore, referencing "systemd" instead worked for me but I'm not that's the correct package to use.

i like nixos a lot but i couldn't really find anything i disagree with in this very fair, relatively negative two-year usage evaluation of nixos. it's a good read if you're thinking of installing the OS, good to know what you're getting into:

Been using NixOS for a few months and, it's been a rather double-edged distro so far. The declarative nature is quite liberating? (albeit mildly inconvenient).

But getting a dev environment working using a largely undocumented ecosystem and under-documented libraries has been far too frustrating.
