Indie Game Roundup (Oct. 18, 2024) https://virtualmoose.org/2024/10/18/indie-game-roundup-oct-18-2024/

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.

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

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.

There is a lot of alarmist stuff going around about .io ccTLD being "retired", fedi instances that use it having to move, etc. 👀

Keep calm. Here's the one thing you need to know about this right now:

👉 Even if .io ever gets "retired", it will take *years* for this to affect already delegated .io domains in any way at all.

I cannot stress this enough, we are talking years if not decades.

Soviet Union dissolved 33 years ago, but .su domains still resolve.

Deep breaths.Carry on.

In a move that absolutely no one asked for:
I am porting the Windows Vista/7 desktop Gadgets to Wayland with some GTK sorcery.

These widgets are actually zip files with web resources plus some metadata.
I got the Machine CPU and RAM stats working, along with some of Microsoft's weird JS API's.

A feature that has been in development for some time is finally here—Multiple Render Targets. This paves the way for necessary emulation work for GL_RGBA32F to enable GLES 3.0 support.

At @phosh, we are working on making the quick-settings panel more responsive and snappy.

This new layout lets you access the preferences (i.e. status pages) quickly and in a responsive manner.

Feel free to join the merge request discussion (https://gitlab.gnome.org/World/Phosh/phosh/-/merge_requests/1498) and test this new feature, so we can land it soon!

For anyone doubting that autism self-diagnosis is valid, look at this graph.

Note how well the diagnosed and undiagnosed-but-assumed autistic people overlap, compared to the near mirror image from non-autistic people.

OMG. DirectX is adopting SPIR-V, and will eventually use it to replace DXIL! 🤯 (Yes, I triple checked. Today isn't April Fools.)

It's the small things: If you've been bothered with #calls and #chatty seemingly starting up slowly in #phosh (while most other apps startup fast): I've posted MRs to fix this in chatty and calls (which then also prompted a small fix in phosh). Here's a quick demo of calls before and after the change:
