Despite earlier worries, the new owners of Bandcamp, though they HAVE fired the entire employee union bargaining unit, are still holding Bandcamp Friday

https://isitbandcampfriday.com/

This is great because it means you can buy music without supporting the union busting

Here's my list of over 100 Bandcamp recommendations with micro-reviews:

Okay, listen to this song

Police nabbed a graffiti artist attempting to flee the scene of committing this (picture) adorable art in the harbor of Visby, Gotland, the large island just outside southeastern mainland Sweden.
The 27-year-old was prosecuted for vandalism, with the prosecutor demanding a fine.

Police's interrogation records said e.g. that "His intention is to offer free art to passersby." and... the District Court of Gotland... agreed.

The court's ruling states that no harm has been proven and that the artist "on a gray and cracked concrete façade which is the short end of a loading dock, has depicted a lamb.", that "The way in which X has illustrated the lamb testifies to an artistic work carried out with a certain amount of artistic and technical skill." then finally "According to the District Court's opinion, the beauty value of the cracked concrete façade - in purely objective terms - has increased through X's painting." so the 27-year old artist was acquitted by the court, which also ruled that the police had must return the spray cans they had confiscated.

Damn hippies. ;-D

Many people argue that Israeli atrocities against Palestinians reflect the ideology of Netanyahu & the far-right, and that we shouldn't blame Israel as a whole.

So to clarify: ethnic cleansing has been going on since Israel's birth in 1948—regardless of who led the country

Fascinating both for what it says about dev & what it says about statistics:

A gamedev realized Linux users were just 5.8% of their sales, but represented 38% of bug reports.

Then they looked at those numbers closer, and realized. Linux users were not experiencing more bugs. Almost none of the Linux-user bugs were Linux-related. Linux users were simply *more likely to file bugs*.

Their conclusion: A linux port pays for itself bc it nerdsnipes ppl into giving u free QA

The “industry standard” modules used in digital braille displays are custom piezoelectric devices, costing around $100 per “letter,” making such displays impractically expensive for most applications.

I just learned about this hackaday prize winner, who has designed digital, refreshable #braille modules that cost less than $1 each, using teeny-tiny magnets and 3D printed parts.

This Original Game Boy recreation of the Tetris Grand Master series just got posted in the Analogue Pocket discord and… this is good. This is *very* good. Looks good in GBC mode, too.

It runs a little slower than the TGMs I've played, so the speed ramp up is a little easier to ride. ROM linked in the readme. https://github.com/Villadelfia/dmgtris

Here is a post I think is really good about a fan attempt to translate "Baba is You" into Chinese. The results look gorgeous (hanzi are square, and can be written potentially horizontally or vertically, so as a writing system it works BETTER than the Latin alphabet) but because many of the puzzles in Baba is You are literal wordplay hinging on specifics of English grammar it is a VERY hard localization. The post attempts to describe what does and doesn't work.

America's car culture is broken -- cyclists and pedestrians know this.

But what's not acknowledged often enough is just how broken it is for *drivers*

Our roads are deadlier than they have been at any point in the past ~20 years.

And the average price of a new car now exceeds $40,000.

It doesn't have to be this way!

Pretty much the rest of the world is embracing micro- and mini-mobility.

Here's what that looks like.

It is often hard for me to switch tasks. Especially when I get into a hyperfocus state. 🧘

I've always struggled to explain to others why it is so difficult. 🤔

“Tendril theory" by Erin Human explains it really well.
