You know, without Web3 NFT bullshit, there was a lost era of decentralized gaming back when it wasn't cost effective to have massive servers for users. Old games which used the host/join system. Hell, just games where one client in a LAN also acted as the server computer. I get it, it's just easier to run all your online interactions through Nintendo, but like... Those old games can still go online, whereas everything else just died. That's sad and we should make that a consideration again.

The past two nights I wrote a "thread reader app" for BlueSky.
Oh boy. The protocol is absolutely insane. RPC galore, responses are only partially typed. The docs are pretty much useless.
But the "funniest" part is this: there's no privacy. And I don't mean missing DMs.
All your posts are available through API endpoints. Without any authentication. By design.
The "invite-only" thing may have you think otherwise.
Here are my last 100 posts.

To protect your privacy and shield yourself against 0-days and malicious advertisers, an adblocker is an important part of your security stance.
The FBI, NSA, CISA, and UK National Cyber Security Centre all recommend adblocking as a protective measure.
You'd never disable your firewall or antivirus because a site asked you to. NEVER DO THIS WITH YOUR ADBLOCKER.
That's the only pertinent point here. Everything else is noise.

The first episode of Coding History: 3D from Mode7 to DOOM is live now! It explains how to rotate points in 2D space and why the rotation formula so often used in game development is the way it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC5IMfK7Yfw
Please go check it out and boost this post if you want to support an educational video series about old school 80s and 90s 3D ๐

@efi you could start small with a 16x16 resolution and a 2 color palette
@efi I assume it's wordplay because add an S to Debian and you get Desbian which is similar to Lesbian
