I'm collecting all 242 unique treasures in #pikmin 2 across the three regions (US, JP, and PAL). I've created this web page which automatically updates as I collect more treasures while playing on real #gamecube hardware.

Table showing Pikmin 2 treasures, regions, and areas along with collected datetimes. Some of the treasures have been collected, some haven't yet been collected.

15/42 GameCube disks archived. I finally opened my Japanese copy of Pikmin I bought from "Super Potato" a year ago and the disk is so much more visually appealing than the NTSC copy!
NTSC disk is all lime green where the JP disk is yellow and dark green in two halves.

Whoever created this, thank you. This captures the energy of open source perfectly. If you see a problem you can be the one to fix it, and that's amazing! 💪

Honestly, sharing this article because I love the visualization at the end. Feeling this hard for digital spaces, we don't need everything to be TikTok.

A Reddit thread of people that couldn't believe you could /still send items to other players' towns/ in Animal Crossing GC inspired this entire series. Offline software is durable.

https://sethmlarson.dev/building-software-for-connection-consensus#the-forgotten-durability-of-offline-software
This Reddit comment thread from the GameCube subreddit was the initial inspiration for this entire series. The post is about someone's niece who just started playing Animal Crossing for the first time. The Redditor asked folks to send items to their nieces' town using the secret code system. This ended up surprising many folks that this system still worked in a game that was over 23 years old! For reference, Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection and Nintendo Network were only available for 8 and 13 years respectively. Below are a handful of the comments from the thread.

/Everyone/ is trying their best, there's always more work to do than there is time for.

I received this email reminder after publishing the latest release of "Truststore" about hardening our publish workflow. This is one of the improvements that PyPI […]

[Original post on fosstodon.org]
Email from PyPI reading: " A Trusted Publisher for project truststore was just used from a CI/CD job configured with a GitHub environment. The environment used was: Deploy. Since the Trusted Publisher is configured to allow any environment, for security reasons we recommend constraining it to only one. If you are an owner of this project, you can automatically constrain this Trusted Publisher to 'Deploy' by following this link: constrain publisher. Alternatively, you can do this manually by going to the project's publishing settings, deleting the existing Trusted Publisher and creating a new one with the environment set to 'Deploy'."

That time of month again for my uncancellable auto-renewing GitHub Copilot subscription email (despite having never used Copilot or asked for this... :blobcatangery:) Note that there's no "unsubscribe" button, either.
Email from GitHub reading: Hi there, Thank you for renewing your free access to GitHub Copilot. Your access to GitHub Copilot will be reviewed on 2025-03-07. GitHub Copilot checks eligibility monthly per our policy. No steps are needed on your end. We hope you enjoy using GitHub Copilot and participating in the developer community.
