I spent the weekend working on a maze generation algorithm for PICO-8 and now what I want to make is an AI that maps the maze and finds an optional route to the goal

I've been using #linux exclusively since January. No PCs (not even for my daily job) runs Windows anymore.

I have a single thing that I miss *a lot* and it's *Paint.net*. I loved that editor and I can't find anything in that league worth enough.

Does anybody know of a similar tool on Linux?

*my monitor flickers wildly for ten seconds*

*all of my desktop icons are rearranged*

*every single window I have open is pushed into a tiny pixel in the corner of my screen*

On May 6, 1933, Nazi stormtroopers (Sturmbteilung) broke into this library, looted the building, killed at least one of the occupants, and hauled the majority of its books outside for a public book burning in the streets of the Opernplatz. Joseph Goebbels gave a speech to 40,000 people about "protecting our nation's children".

The photo has become an icon of Nazi German brutality and fascism. It is shown in school textbooks worldwide above the caption "Nazi book burnings, 1933". It is often published in news stories and social media whenever the subject of banning books arises.

What is not often mentioned in those stories is the SUBJECT of the burned books. The building was the Institute for the Science of Sexuality. The first of its kind, dedicated to studying trans people and trans identities, and performing gender confirming surgery for a number of patients. And the books that were burned were trans histories and trans patient records.

Remember, they came for trans people first.

Learned about the micromouse event and I was wondering how hard it would be to make a virtual equivalent of that πŸ€”

The real curse of social media is having the thought "I just thought of a great Tiny Desk concert joke" and then also thinking "it's 2023, I can't be doing Tiny Desk jokes anymore. There's not enough space for them"

"try adding numbers"

WOW, ITS ALMOST LIKE WE HAD A SYSTEM FOR THAT ALREADY

OH: "i'm nonbinary, but alas my computer isn't"

Sometimes self-care is letting yourself program a little tree generator. <3

  • SARS VIRUSES WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE CAUGHT BY ANYTHING THAT'S NOT A BATS
  • YEARS OF REINFECTION yet NO REAL-WORLD IMMUNITY FOUND TO CORONAVIRUSES
  • wanted immunity to a coronavirus for a laugh? we had a tool for that: It was called a "RESPIRATOR"
  • "Yeah I went to the Taylor Swift concert last night and can't remember ANY of it" β€” Statements dreamed up by the utterly neurocognitively damaged

They have played us for absolute bats
