    Often overlooked but electric buses are very heavy. Here in my small hometown they visibly started decaying the road infrastructure super fast in many places since they got introdu…

    In a somewhat similar but frequently more deranged aesthetic vein, I am a huge fan of Defense Charts on Xitter. https://x.com/DefenseCharts

    On paper, yeah. Sadly the threshold is very low, and you get hit with a brutal regressive tax immediately after you pass it (obligatory lump-sum social security tax).

    Just throwing this out there. I'm a homebody living in a climate where the weather is kind of miserable for half of the year so would rather just execrise at home, and I've gotten …

    I love Crocotile. It's got very opinionated, kind of weird UX, but it gets me in the zone so so well. I haven't used it in ages, I should give it another spin.

    Are you able to name 3 examples of this happening?

    Lack of microphonics is the killer feature of wireless for me, I avoided earbuds for my entire life because of how grating I find them.

    Not likely. It's just a technical limitation of thermal paper. That's the trade-off for cheap, tiny form factor, fast, and low maintenance printing.

    I'm not sure about a lot. There are tools available that let you just extract some files from Xcode and build on Windows. These work a treat and are maintained by a single guy.

    Greg Egan anything. Can't recommend him enough. BIG ideas.

    Hey, Windows has had a related-ish bug forever too! Go to device properties and change L/R balance to be unequal. Turn sound down to 0. Turn it back up and balance is equal again.

    MiniReview is a game curation app/platform that does a very good job of surfacing interesting and non-predatory stuff. Not directly affiliated but my own game has been featured on …

    Piracy is very different from theft and far more morally defensible. FWIW my work, which puts food on my table, is pirated every day.

    Godot 4.0 doesn't support C# on the web and mobile, one of those fabled "Godot $nextver fixes this" things that somehow immediately come up whenever I get hyped up for giving Godot…

    There's a very barebones plugin that does simple syntax highlighting and code completion, more basic than the built-in Godot editor.

    Not GP but I'm a full time solo indie dev. In my case the main issue with GDScript is the tooling, or lack of thereof. No symbol aware rename, no go to definition/usages, poor auto…

    Yeah, LCG seems like such a great and ethical model, but has a proven track record of being hard to keep alive. I'm currently a very happy player of Flesh and Blood TCG and think i…

    You'll notice that was added in an addendum, they must've backtracked. I haven't seen it before. What I saw was the original announcement and the resulting Reddit discussion, in wh…

    As far as I know, it's a whole different scale of issue. WotC did some fashionable corporate virtue signaling. Some of it sounded reasonable enough to me, some of it was a bit eyer…

    I never did any paid advertising. At this point it's roughly 80% organic algorithmic platform trafic and 20% word-of-mouth. The latter includes outside user-driven platforms, like …
