    I've never even heard of this before. Is it mostly a rendering library or is it a full game framework like Godot or Unity?

    Yeah, likewise. I'm upset about the terrorism of Hezbollah or Hamas, but Israel has quite obviously decided that two wrongs make a right and so is using this nightmare as an excuse to land-grab and settle scores, and the civilians in Gaza, the West Bank, and Lebanon are suffering for it.

  • To fight AI, we need 'personhood credentials,' say AI firms
  • Pxtl Pxtl 1mo ago 100%

    Right now I could go create 30 sock puppet accounts to respond to this. Is that really a good thing?

    Let government offer the service of "here is a way any human can certifiably identify themselves online" and let people decide what providers they want to give that info to.

    If you want to use or run anonymous social media, that's fine.

    I don't.

    I know a lot of people are cranky about digital IDs, but realistically there's no avoiding it at this point: we need real, government-backed, links-to-a-specific-human-with-a-birth-certificate unique digital IDs. Then service providers can (optionally) demand it in order to register, and can prevent you from creating multiple accounts, and can ban you from their service permanently, and can vouch for you to other services that you are indeed a Real Unique Human Being.

  • These Canadians want the ‘right to repair’ their stuff: ‘We can’t continue on the same way of consuming’
  • Pxtl Pxtl 3mo ago 100%

    Old Casio watches managed to do it with just screws. We live in the future, I'm sure there's a way to fasten a phone together waterproof with just rubber gaskets and mechanical fasteners instead of glue.

    The problem is that always the economically cleanest approach is to add fees, which are political suicide.

    Like, if you add a "disposal fee" to electronics, that creates incentive to build electronics that last long. But Ford chased Wynne out of Ontario Government using their e-waste fees.

    The alternative is stupid bulky bureaucracy and regulation. Which voters say they hate, but their actions speak louder.

    Carrots are politically better than sticks, but how do you offer a carrot for not doing something? Fee-and-dividend is supposed to do that, but now we're at "axe the tax" under a fee-and-dividend model.

    So maybe bureaucracy and regulation is the way to go.

    Ban glue in portable electronics assembly? I'll never forgive Apple for inventing that nonsense.

    Require that any device that is E-Waste have a big ugly "this is e-waste" label on its exterior that end users are totally allowed to remove, but replacing the "this is e-waste" panel with something clean-looking must be at least as easy as replacing the battery.

    Recommendations for a good .ca domain host?
  • Pxtl Pxtl 3mo ago 100%

    in the end I went with CanSpace as registrar, and I’m using CloudFlare to actually run the nameservers.

    The transfer was kind of a PITA because since the domain transferred from Google to Squarespace to Canspace to then being hosted on CF’s nameservers (but still on Canspace) the DNSSEC meant that CF couldn’t actually get it connected until like 48 hours later. Was quite worried that I’d screwed up somewhere.

  • What are your favourite controllers?
  • Pxtl Pxtl 4mo ago 100%

    Honestly the 2nd analog stick I didn't mind too much because the face-buttons made a decent D-pad for the tiny handful of shooters on the DC. The bigger flaw was the lack of 2nd shoulder-buttons.

    Also that putting a screen into a controller has always been a solution looking for a problem. It was on the DC, it was on the Wii-U, and there's a good reason they abandoned the idea to put a screen on the PS4 touchpad controller.

  • So lemmiverse, my https://pxtl.ca domain has officially been booted off of Google Domains (welcome to the Google graveyard, Google Domains) and now has been moved into Squarespace, which is expensive. Anybody recommend a good cheap .ca TLD domain host? One with a decent API for dynamic DNS so I can keep my home subdomain? I have a couple of pi4 servers in the house that could be tasked with pinging an API endpoint to notify the domain host of my IP. thanks in advance. edit: in the end I went with CanSpace as registrar, and I'm using CloudFlare to actually run the nameservers.

    Fork it! It's time for a Mastodon hard fork
  • Pxtl Pxtl 4mo ago 94%

    I have my own shopping list of Mastodon features that i watched languish in PRs on GitHub. I like Rochko, but he completely failed to meet the moment of Twitter's explosion and make the massive flood of excitement about Mastodon into the real permanent gains that were up for grabs.

    Most of my wish list have nothing to do with safety because I'm a straight cis white guy and so my experience of Mastodon is that its userbase is painfully anodyne.

    But the point stands that a hard fork with a focus on development velocity is long overdue.

    Merlin has the problem that it doesn't have something like like aimesh where you can auto synch the config between all your routers. I've got a network of three Asus routers and they work great and I can admin them like they're one router, and I'd hate to have to give that to up.
