I want to write code that is beautiful, and maybe tell stories and be funny. Rust may help with one of those things. do I use AI? If ya mean Actual Intelligence, then yes read this sentence HEeeeeeeyyy, check out the Anti-AI art site ungenerated.io!
It’s pronounced YEE-RO-scope.

Hey, For anyone using the #terminal this command here, TL;DR: formulae.brew.sh/formula/tlrc is a must have for easy to read man pages. Like, you don't have to read the difficult obscure [bracket-texts] if you don't want to.

Now if modern software had this much care put into it, you could probably just use a hamster in place of RAM. youtu.be/MdPz9dLmOtI

Way to jumpscare #rust devs Someone actually doing ‘manual’ memory management, and doing it well. A great watch! www.youtube.com/watch?app=de...

I hope this is making sense. this is the reason why, as much as I hate AI, the "it's over... this is just it, now, this is the future... it's going to be like this forever, we better just cope..." just isn't grounded in reality and is very clearly informed by techbro propaganda. Don't buy it
This #gamedev is real cool. Like, this can be a metaphor for so much complexity in battle. You know what I mean. m.youtube.com/watch?v=6GE2...

Made an NPC debug panel that shows live-rendered thumbnails of every NPC, their current states, and lets me double-click to teleport straight to them. Makes debugging the game progression a lot easier!
I feel it's important to share this again. The internet is so hostile toward creators nowadays. I've seen people have their work stolen, and no longer feel comfortable sharing their creations. We can do better. Let's be supportive to the people that make this a better place! 💞
Over the weekend, I had an idea: what if, instead of the objects appearing to sit horizontally in front of you, I modified them to appear vertically? Here are four test attempts.
if britain reenters europe what are they gonna call it, breturn? brevival? breentry?
quite! you will never go wrong by training yourself to think more clearly … and I would strongly advise against ever using LLMs - or anything else! - as a substitute for thinking. roe.dev/ama #ama

So I'm making a #TUI using @ratatui.rs 's wonderful library... and it lets you choose custom scrollbar characters, and you can make the background match the character's color hiding it so my scrollbar is made exclusively out of ℋ because I can (thanks to Ratatui) nobody will be able to tell.
Hmm, I guess we've entered a world where there isn't just Portrait + Landscape It's 4 different rotations now since the corners aren't symetrical 🤔
have you ever heard a fly walking on aluminum foil?

This guy is one of the few people who terrify me. How can someone do this? How can someone be this smart? The text-to-speech voice randomly taking on the most INANE tones makes it even worse. m.youtube.com/watch?v=3f2w...
