Why didn't anybody ever tell me about rsync? I had no idea how powerful of a tool that command is. It feels maybe a little hyperbolic, but that shit changed my life.

I've made my first contribution to #opensource software! I didn't do much, but I updated the wonderful #pebble trekv3 watchface to use a working weather service.
Pretty impressive how easy the pebble dev environment is.

It made me chuckle when I realized that the pebble framework uses C as the "frontend" and JS for the "backend".

I've had a Pebble watch on my wrist for the first time since 2018 and It's been everything I missed about it.

Finally (again), a watch that just displays information and has a 2 week battery life. What more could I ever want?
Thank you @ericmigi.com and @rebble.io
for making gadgets fun again.

I have a question for #gamedev folks. I've been using GIMP for tokens point and level design, and while it works, making levels is tedious as hell. What tools do you all use to make 2D maps? I love making levels, but placing single tiles at a time is just awful. Any suggestions are helpful #gbstudio

My grandfather attacked them in the streets of Newark, NJ. My father at 12 yrs old threw rocks at them in Irvington, NJ. My uncles fought the fascists in Europe and my father in the Pacific.

The symbols endure and so does the anger at what they represent.

They put out a welcome mat?

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

CIA concludes Saudi crown prince ordered Jamal Khashoggi’s assassination
Audio recordings, intercepted phone calls and other intelligence link Mohammed bin Salman to killing that Saudis say was conducted by rogue elements.

While it makes me nostalgic for the aesthetics of the era, it also has me excited to imagine what the future can draw on.

No Kings Denver speaker Joe Salazar (fmr Dem state rep) tells me they estimate 25-30k gathered in Denver today, similar to the No Kings protest earlier this year. This view is from photographer Cheney Orr for the New York Times. #copolitics

It's official. Nearly 7 million people. Today is the single largest day of protest in American history. Americans from all corners of the country are standing up and saying #NoKings. This is what peaceful, patriotic protest looks like.

I ran out of time to finish the story, so I got existential with it. I'm almost annoyed that the longest section of dialogue is going to be completely removed when I finish the game.😅

I'm making some progress on the story on #gbjam13 This is particularly interesting for me as this is actually the most dialogue I've ever used in a game so far. #gbstudio #gamedev
