Heyo everyone! I am working on my indie factory game and have gotten to the point where I am looking to #FediHire an #artist.

The game is a pseudo 3d high(er) resolution sprite based game with an optimistic solar punk aesthetic.

I have a bias for artists who use #OpenSource tooling but that is no hard requirement.

If anyone is interested let me know. As I am a first time game dev (although with lots of non-game dev experience) I would ba happy to work with new or veteran artists.

I’m back to taking classes again after a long break and I must say power management, at least on #Fedora 42 has gotten substantially better.

Before my 11th gen #Framework used like 4w of power with WiFi with a dim screen. Now it uses 2.7w.

The difference is like 10h vs 4h.

Tariff politics

Funny thing is that tariffs can be a good economic strategy if the policy maker has a stable hand.

Like if the policy maker says “we will have a 30% tariff on chips for at least 10 years” companies can use that to invest in new plants knowing they have that 30% advantage for those 10 years.

If the policy maker flops like a fish on tariffs no company can act on that. You get all the downsides with none of the upsides.

I swear to god it might actually be worth setting up an old school proxy with image compression / conversion just for Deutsche Bahn trips. I’m talking setting up a CA and everything for TLS interception.

If I didn’t live here I would suspect they routed the tracks to optimize for poor cellular reception, but sadly I know better.

I really wish #uutils was under a copyleft license. It’s cool but using it just makes it easier for mega corps to lock down things even more. Yah #rust / #rustlang is faster and more secure, but #GPL is better for society.

If we were using uutils in 2005 we wouldn’t have the free routers that we have now. I don’t want to think what could be lost if we just drop all things #GPL for mit license stuff. It’s just helping megacorps at societies expense.

For people working in #rustlang / #rust If you are considering a CPU upgrade I strongly recommended NOT putting it off. Yah the faster compile times are nice, but the increased responsiveness of the lsp/rust-analyze is GAME CHANGING.

With my old CPU or on my laptop the lsp is ok. Like a couple hundred ms response time for most things. On my new CPU it’s all instant. It feels amazing and was 100% worth the upgrade.

Hot take. Curb Your Enthusiasm is a bad show. It’s bad like Sinefeld is bad. Like I don’t get how people enjoy it. I couldn’t even finish the pilot.

Nothing is more satisfying than seeing a hard drive show up after soldering on a bodge wire to fix a broken pin. Family pictures saved.

In other news I suddenly see why people would choose cone topped soldering irons over chisel.

I recently found a great deal on a used Arc A770 GPU. I have to say it’s been a very smooth experience and definitely is a major upgrade from my RX 580. Works wonderfully on Fedora out of the box and after a bit of driver installation it worked well on windows. The games I do play all run on Ultra and it’s really nice to have the accelerators on Linux. If they survive I totally would buy a future high end discrete Intel GPU.

I am now officially living on #GrapheneOS So far its been an adventure. So far I haven't really had any Graphene problems just "new to android" problems. Lol.

I’m a bit nervous. Just bought a new pixel with the intention of installing #grapheneos on it. It will be my first ever android device. Exciting times. The good news is that my banking apps are on the known working list. Anyone have any tips for a first time android user?

Taking a break from working on my German B2 by learning a little bit of Toki Pona. It’s extremely cute, fun and interesting to learn. And with only 137 words it’s not a slog. Strong recommend. Speaking Toki Pona forces you to think about how you think about the world. #tokipona

Any other airline would just be like "our bad here is a fixed ticket” but not air Canada. air Canada refuses to do anything but put me in a flight with 4 connections. Insanity. My original flight had 1.

Never again. Air Canada is going on my personal blacklist.

Mini rant. I fly a lot. In the past I was a traveling consultant and flew to a new city every week. These days I fly between the EU and US a few times a year.

Neve have I had such a terrible experience as I am having with Air Canada. Long story short, they dropped my destination city and refuse to fix it. They refuse to allow me to change my origin city and they refuse to allow me to change my destination city to a nearby one that still is on service just because it's "a bit too far".

Does anyone have any advice for learning #rustlang lifetimes properly? Like I read the book and know you annotate functions, but I can’t seem to actually apply that understanding. The code I write has minimal cloning and I pass a lot off stuff around by reference. I mostly find that I don’t “need” to use lifetimes.

The exception is working on or passing around struct values. Once in a while I find myself cloning those values. Is this a lifetimes use case? What am I missing here?

If you aren’t happy with your soldering skills I strongly recommend looking at what tip you are using. I always considered myself a mediocre solderer until I swapped out the default “cone” tip for a chisel tip. Suddenly my soldering looks and feels better. Huge difference. Why do cone tips even exist?
