The #Luanti game jam is back for 2024!
Your mission: from Nov 1st to Nov 22nd, make an awesome Luanti game from scratch.
That's 3 weeks, 3 (or more..) winners, and some neat prizes (server hosting! shirts!). Anyone can make games, so give it a shot!
You can find all the information about the jam at jam.minetest.net/
Feel free to ask questions on any of the Luanti discussion platforms or this year's forum thread
neat!
the "existing games should not be used as a base" rule seems a bit strange. why is that a rule?
i would think that your jam would encourage expanding on existing Open Source content: mods for Exile, mod packs for NodeCore, etc. as long as it's clear what was added during the jam.
The idea is to make a new game with new gameplay for the jam, not a mod. As a game creation platform, these jams are a great opportunity to experiment with new ideas.
We have had mod jams in the past, perhaps there will be some in the future
Post by @older reminding me to say that if you want a truly trenchant and also very funny, very smart novel that takes down all the goo surrounding elections and voting, read INFOMOCRACY.

For the past 30 years, I've been an immigrant, first in the US and then in Canada. I still have a strong foreign accent.
I've never been told to go home.
Nobody ever describes me as an immigrant.
You guessed it: white skin, British accent.
Fuck this racist shit.

“Why don't you like BlueSky?"
Twitter taught me something. Any "For Profit" company is going to be a slave to its need for growth, its investors, and corporate greed.
BlueSky says “We don't want to be like that”. but they're also a for profit company that is going to end up a slave to their investors and their greed just like any other for profit company.
I don't feel like establishing myself there, just to have it all come apart in a few years like Twitter did. Because that's inevitable.

Weeeell, I went on Christmas day and got there as soon as it opened. I then doubled back when the light was failing to get some more shots. I managed to get photos with only one or two people in (which I removed in Photoshop). Still took a LOT of waiting in place for breaks, as there were still some other people milling about 😀

Would love to know what that factory was. Looks like something (guessing textiles) being fed into some sort of tanks. Do you have any photos from further back? I love trying to work out what these places where.

It's an old paper mill, these are the beater machines that break up fibers between the pulping and rolling stages of the process. Some more photos attached. I had to be careful as security had drilled holes in so they could see inside, so I didn't stand out in the open in this area for long!
I have a whole album and long article, which goes into both the history and the paper making process in general - obsidianurbexphotography.com/i…

Spider in the Telescope: The Mechanization of AstronomyJohn Flamsteed’s vision of an astronomer’s skill set clashed with existing ideas about observing, paving the way for a new mindset based on mechanical objectivity.
In 1639, a spider wove a web in William Gascoigne’s telescope and changed astronomy. The invention became so crucial to astronomy that disputes broke out over who invented the device.

Um texto lindo sobre como o nosso cérebro processa a ideia de zero (e, de bônus, como essa representação evoluiu ao longo do tempo).
Thank you, @Project Gutenberg , for this!
How the Human Brain Contends With the Strangeness of ZeroZero, which was invented late in history, is special among numbers. New studies are uncovering how the brain creates something out of nothing.
In some ways, zero is just like any other number on a number line. But a new study suggests that the mind may treat the symbol for absence differently.

Corporations are not sentient entities. They are contracts. They do not "do" things. They do not make decisions. Executives do.
When corporate activity breaks a law or harms people, it means the executives decided to do that.
When a corporation has been fined for something, what you are witnessing is the executives being let off the hook for what they did. Perhaps the prosecutor/regulator wants to keep get big money from corporations after leaving government.

something like domino/sekaiju would be simply amazing! - would be so cool if we could use Ardour for only editing midi files, simply and fastly, as we wished, just like most daws does (besides all the features Ardour has available now)
Using static websites for tiny archives: alexwlchan.net/2024/static-web…
I wrote about how making small, hand-written HTML pages has taken over as the way I organise my local files. I get more metadata and filtering options than I do with the Finder, and the ongoing maintenance cost is essentially zero.
I’m using it for personal stuff, but this feels like a powerful tool for digital preservation more broadly.
HTML FTW 💪

What I did get was an old fork lift out on the nature strip, heavily overgrown but so weirdly coloured that it distracted and I turned it into a monochrome image.
