Niche game systems and cross-paradigm Rust developer. I'm trying to be less invisible this year. Currently independent. Other places: https://blento.tamme.schichler.de/ Announcements at @tamschi.itch.io, accounts hosted on @eurosky.social.

Been working hard on a little video presentation to air as our first showcase on stream.place to show all the recently added games and features. 🎮 Wanted it ready by the end of July, but wow is video editing a labour intensive task! 😅 Giving ourselves a bit more time... Stay tuned for August! 📺

@t-online.de Diese KI-Stimme beim Tagesanbruch ist ja wirklich unangenehm mit dieser merkwürdig schwankenden Intonation. Ist das ein Experiment oder bleibt das jetzt so? (Hatte vorher gern ab und an reingehört und weiterempfohlen, aber in dieser Form werde ich eher darauf verzichten.)

It's settled, I'm going brutalist. I'm glad I built a simulator (for the IDE) because that sort of layout work would be way more tedious if I had to flash and boot the device every 5 minutes. This will hopefully give some character and consistency to eenk :)

„Alles, was ich im Moment für Deutschland empfinde, ist Mitleid. Es ist bedauerlich, dass diese Gesellschaft nicht erkennt, was aus ihr geworden ist.“ Ein Brief an deutsche Linke, für den wir @zararah.bsky.social dankbar sein müssen, denn für sie wäre vermutlich einfacher, schweigend zu gehen.

Nicht wegen des Rechtsrucks, sondern des Selbstbetrugs der vermeintlich Liberalen und Progressiven muss ich gehen. Ein Abschiedsbrief.

[ex-Twitter/racism, use @xblock.aendra.dev if you'd like to hide that] That reminds me, I initially heard of him only a few months before the Basecamp incident, via a then-coworker praising him. I'm a little curious what she'd say now, but I wouldn't bring it up, so it shall remain a mystery to me.

Just in case you still use any Basecamp products, DHH is crashing out about his AI product gently pointing out that it’s bad for him to have extermination fantasies about the Roma people.

DHH tweet saying “This is why we need competition and open weights in Al. Imagine a world where only Anthropic sat as the moral arbiter of acceptable speech. Fucking ridiculous. (Grok of course did it no problem, same too with Kimi K).” when presented with his blog post using a slur about the Roma people.

Ich glaube #trauerundwut trifft es ganz gut. Wobei das eigentlich eher eine andauernde Realität ist, die man mal mehr und (aktuell) mal weniger gut verdrängen kann. Daher bin ich zwar wütend und traurig, aber nicht überrascht (sowohl als auch weder über die Tat noch die meisten Kommentare dazu).

This is awesome. I made a PR last week to add better support and display for permission-sets to the OAuth consent screen for @tranquil.farm. Now every time I log in to my Atmosphere account, I can actually see my fingerprints on Tranquil. 😍 #atproto

Nebenbei erwähnte Didier Eribon heute abend im HKW in Berlin, dass er schon auch Petitionen unterschreibt, aber das die nicht so viel bewirken. Es ist aufwendiger, große Demos zu organisieren. Aber wirksamer, und das ist unter Linken, in NGOs und in Bewegungen zu sehr in Vergessenheit geraten.

Lilith im Glück: "Ihre erste Einstweilige Verfügung nach dem Presserecht". 1300 Seiten. Was hier so lustig wirkt, als würde ich stolz meine Doktorarbeit in die Kamera halten, ist leider bitterer ernst.

I have been playing this video game (Granblue Relink) pretty fixedly for the last week, and I like to play as this ghost bunny girl with a whip

This is the food supply chain equivalent of “[software] is insecure because they put out a lot of CVEs” It’s GOOD that they patch and disclose a lot of vulnerabilities, actually. Who you really need to worry about are the ones who don’t think they have any

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

Whenever this topic comes up, I’m reminded of when the “Home Alone” house went on the market back in 2024 and we got direct “then vs now” comparisons off the zillow ad. Shit used to be so vibrant and pretty. Now we’re lucky to get anything other than landlord grey.

Fuck off. If anything is "millennial", it's those cool transparent colors our iMacs, Gameboys, and Tamagotchis came in. No fucking millennial likes the house flipper grey. Call it a millennial paint job when I can see through the exterior of a car because it's Glacier Purple like my GBA.

An image showing the colorful transparent plastic of various pieces of technology of the 90's and early 2000s, that were easily the popular choice of the millennial age bracket. Some of the tech is an iMac, Nintendo 64, Sega DreMcast, a PlayStation 2, a Gameboy color and Advance, and CD player.

No fuck off we're not calling this "Millennial grey" this shit was dictated completely by boomer retiree house flippers we absolutely had NO say in this

Millennial grey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A kitchen with beige grey floors, drab walls, brushed steel appliances, and grey granite countertops.
Grey floors and furnishings are said to appeal to Millennial tastes.
Millennial grey refers to a desaturated colour scheme that is said to appeal to the interior design sensibilities of the Millennial Generation in the early 21st century.[1] Cultural historian Kassia St. Clair attributed its widespread adoption to a desire among Millennials for "a flexible, sensible choice that will last years, hide any stains, and can be adapted to different schemes."[1] Some have diagnosed Millennial grey as a reaction to the warm hues of the late 20th century.[2]

Millennial grey is polarising, particularly when used with imitation-wood-texture sheet vinyl flooring, which many describe as depressing, soulless, or corporate.[3][4] Although attributed to Millennials, the grey colour scheme is often chosen by house flippers, vacation rental owners, or other people who do not actually live in the greyed properties.[3] Thus, the occupant of the property—Millennial or not—has little say in its colour scheme, particularly when deployed for fixtures such as flooring.[4] The greying may have been driven, in part, by a desire to prepare properties for sale in a manner thought to be least offensive to the average buyer.[5] Given the housing crises gripping many countries in the early to mid-21st century, buyers and renters may feel they have no choice but to accept a property decked in Millennial grey.[4]

To the extent that Millennial grey is said to be enjoyed by Millennials, it is also said to be loathed by Generation Z.[1][2]

Millennial Grey, a color palate dictated by the fact that millennials were unable to purchase housing and landlords enforced a neutral colour pallet. Enjoyed by nobody, the name was another attempt to blame Millennials for things older generations did.
