These past few years have been quite dark times for me, financially and mentally. But a new story has been brewing in my head and I finally started designing a new game in the world of "Karambola".

But I can't do it without your support. Now is your chance to help me out, while also getting this shiny new artbook with lots of sketches and design secrets from behind the scenes. And I've just made it 25% OFF.

Thank you <3

Eugenio (@g7) has contributed accent color support to (we're targeting 0.43.0):

@vala_lang I mean, I was running it on my phone back then 😁 It used to be cross-compiled with OpenEmbedded, as compiling on the phone was barely viable back then. Today it wouldn't be a big deal, although today FSO is quite obsolete anyway 😉 Just a curio about "running Vala on your phone".

@vala_lang Just apps? We used to have complete smartphone middleware daemons handling modems and other stuff in Vala back in 2009 😁

Looks like my old patch for workarounding Electron/Chromium bugs in Squeekboard (inspired by a solution used by Gamescope) has been finally merged and released in v1.42.1. It used to exacerbate another preexisting issue, but it now got fixed too. No more randomly broken keys in poorly behaving apps! 😌

In terms of accessible #UX for neurodiversity, one of the wonders of @Mastodon in my experience is the ability to remember things I saw in my timeline in a consistent order.

The fact I can often rebuild thought processes just by moving through the timeline again is something I missed from real-world environments.

On other platforms, one click will result in a re-randomization of the posts interleaved by viral slop, which keeps bombing the attention span back to zero.

Please keep it this way.

@maryjane I have a very vivid memory from some 15 years ago of hacking on the system GSM daemon's Python code debugging an elusive issue and having a strong aha moment while sitting on the back of a 105Na tram tapping the Freerunner's tiny screen 😄

So I just found a build of my 20 year old game stored on some CD-R in a shoe box, and then I found myself fixing what appears to be a 25 year old regression in Wine's MIDI implementation that prevents music from playing on some of its levels.

I think I just got nerdsniped by myself from 20 years ago.

@vmaurin @newbyte The alternative would be to report this to phoc's bugtracker when you noticed 😉 But no need to anymore, I believe this should fix it: gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/p

@vmaurin @newbyte What's the problem? Doesn't swiping from the bottom (or top) edge work?

Don't say you've used a Linux phone if you haven't 100%'d Animatch (it only took me like two years)

@mort @typeswitch @eniko You only need three symbols to encode Whitespace semantics. Use native BOM for one symbol, and non-native BOM as a prefix to either of them for two more symbols.

Read someone claiming that "today's kids are the first native digital generation". As that was said about my generation as well, and I have my own kids now, that was somewhat surprising to me. On second thougt there's a merit to it. They are digital natives, but natives in a colonized space. The digital commons is closed off and hemmed in, the only skills they learn are the ones provided by the digital colonial masters and while they live their lives in the digital spaces, they have no control over it.

@cocolinofan @holypangolin Karambola and Animatch are already on Flathub. The rest (except Rumina, which is unreleased) are available on itch.io and GitLab, although you'll need a keyboard for Now and Then as it can't be controlled by a touchscreen.
