For the first time, Blender is featured in an Apple product video!

For a brief and fleeting moment, before that website's CSS kicked in, I glimpsed at a perfectly readable website.

RSS rules, period. I get more value from my 15 year-old RSS feed than anything else on the internet.

If you're interested in breaking into music theory, I cannot recommend @bd's cheatsheet enough.

People who design these "modern" languages think it's perfectly reasonable to require tons of CPU and memory to compile something, because it's easy for them to get these high performance compiling rigs. Any who complain that it's not feasible for a potato computer, they're like "You shouldn't be compiling software, peasant. We will compile it for you and send you the binary."
Then you ask how is it open source, if only they can compile it? Is source code that you can't compile even code at all? It's just text files! They say, "It's open source because here's the source right here!" Ignoring the tautology, you ask how you can trust that their binaries aren't secretly compiled with malicious source, and they'll say all like, "It's simple, peasant! Just compile the software yourself, and compare that binary with ours! I hope you have at least 16 gigabytes of RAM."
So that's why I like C, but not C++ or Rust. C was created back before they could create a privileged caste who can feasibly compile stuff. Honestly I'd like to see more love given to Ada and Forth, for much the same reason. More importantly, I'd like to undo Reaganomics, make privatization illegal, break up illegal mergers, separate commercial banking, make bank currency illegal, make stock buybacks illegal, make monopsony illegal, and then suddenly these elite castes of pretentious fuckheads would stop appearing to design le new computer language.

We made a video game with the boys in less than an hour. https://statics.nacq.me/Oh-la-vache-THE-GAME/game/

fail2ban has one core maintainer https://github.com/fail2ban/fail2ban and he has only 3 Github sponsors https://github.com/sebres
WTF
I can't even comprehend how many servers are protected by fail2ban, how many compromises are avoided, how many people who run hobby things all the way up to major sites that get to sleep soundly every night... because of this single project.
I just got this used foot midi controller. I will set it to control my SooperLooper.

Please don't forget about your website.
@julien Why the hell a platform decide to serve podcasts to its users without publishing a RSS/Atom feed. They could put ads in them and monetize. Just like other Podcast platforms (Acast, etc.). Spotify puts their creators and users in a jail. I just don't get Internet anymore.
My mood...

@latte I've played this game with my 14. It was a very good experience for both of us. The writing, the artwork, the gameplay, the difficulty, everything was perfect. But what gets me the most, is the OST. It's still in my everyday work playlist. Even made a little cover last year (https://nicolas.nacq.me/projects/f-a-l-f/#05-good-riddance). Only 4 achievements missing. I hope to finish it one day 🤞

@cwebber @fossandcrafts Can't wait to listen to it. Blender has been part of my job for a decade. I've been to bcon, and donate a yearly basis to the fundation for a long time. It's this piece of software that bring me to the FOSS universe. The comunity is so powerfull and warm. I've got a special connexion with this software that help me pay my bills and have fun at the same time.
Jekyll powa : I've been able to make a NO-CSS version of my little website. Sooo easily !
@latte The footnotes of this post made the whole list really touching. I guess you could actually have put "write a creative pusuits list" at the top of the list and mark it as done. Because, bravo just for that...
(I really like your website)
