Hi newskies! I'm SWinxy, a software developer making a Minecraft world editor called Euclid.

This is what the splash screen looks like, which was created EXACTLY five years ago to the day.

It's unsettling how many people fell for the claim that an administration that hires open Nazi sympathizers and does a bunch of Nazi-like stuff is "fighting antisemitism."

Some want to believe, agreeing with the regime's anti-free-speech and anti-academic freedom goals. But some just fell for it.
If you thought sending horrific, racist texts was enough to get you shunned from political service, think again! trib.al/v2wPrV0

It’s lost all effectiveness ._.

Back to square one is kind of unbelievable.
It actually worked. I think I fell asleep quicker. Working on my wakeup will also be beneficial. Not sleeping thru my alarm is good, actually.

to be fair “what’s the point of standards” is the motto of the free press
“I’ve been hearing that standards will be eliminated or severely cut back. Bari has told people that she wants to get rid of standards and is shocked that they have so much power. She also asked openly, ‘What’s the point of standards?’” one CBS source said.

Yesterday I worked very hard and had lots to show for it. Today I worked somewhat and have very little to show for it. Sure, why not.

I encounter an issue

I report the issue in a bug report

I find that the issue is now predictable

I update the bug report

The issue is now unpredictable

I want to scream

I come back to resume Euclid work and for some reason IntelliJ has been having an issue sometimes before building where it gets stuck

People seemed to dislike this but reading the blog post I don't see anything wrong with what they're proposing. These all are like nudges to be less toxic.
