Hey remember in the late aughts when a weird janky cheerful little program called "Sweet Home 3D" on a Windows XP box was the easiest and funnest way to map out a floor plan of your house and fiddle with furniture arrangement

Well it's 2026 now and it runs on Linux and still doesn't suck

We are excited to share that we are beginning work on a new onboarding experiment for #mastodon: Default Server Recommendations.

Our intent for this experiment is to recommend the closest server geographically that is in the correct language during the sign-up flow. We will be running this […]

Great news from @Mastodon at #fosdem: they're going to change the default server recommendation away from mastodon.social, to a geographically and linguistically appropriate instance for all new users.

It'll be opt-in for server admins, too, which is great. ❤️

The idea I have in mind is to script the trailer in game using the tutorial system. Steps can have time outs and there are some systems to transition elements during that time, like fading out the scene. One mode I am adding now is to render the game without UI (or selected UI parts).

NGL I spent the whole day playing games. But I made an achievement today. All the achievements in fact: #whiteknuckle is my first perfected game :P

In the Mastodon app when you click on a profile, you get "posts" "posts & replies" and "media". What it really needs is a 4th one, which is posts without boosts. Boosts are critical to the fediverse working (one of the reasons I boost a lot). But if you're looking for something a user wrote […]

It starts coming together; I can insert now custom levels for each instruction type and thus provide concrete examples for each use case. I guess there are still things to fix for special instructions, but this should not be so much work any more. 🥵

One thing leading to another: Having a tutorial-replay button made me think that there should be a list of tutorials and their topics that can be navigated to. Which made me remember I need a help system. So let's see how this develops. I have quite some ideas about this already.
