ok #ditherinator (still 0.4 no version change) should now have a polyfill that takes care of rendering issues in #safari that caused the pre-process sliders to not affect the image

#chrome still isn't, and will not be, supported

i wonder if there's anything at all i could do to rekindle interest/popularity in #webgbcam and #ditherinator or if it's just a case of every single person in the world who could've found out about them already has and nobody will share anything about them anymore

cries for help only work if someone who cares is listening

31 years ago was a sad day. It was the day Commodore declared bankruptcy. What went wrong for Commodore? It's simple. And it's complicated. And mostly Irving Gould's fault. #Retrocomputing https://dfarq.homeip.net/why-commodore-went-bankrupt-in-1994/

Maybe it's a little cliche but somehow creating games feel like the ultimate escape from reality for a bit

The only limit is your imagination and there is no one who can set rules or decide whatever you can do or not

If people don't like they simply don't have to play it

It's just enormous fun creating such worlds and giving it away for free makes it the ultimate f-you against modern day gaming studios who are only in it for the money

The Fosstodon situation is exhibit number one million in how not to respond to community concerns. Like, a lot of people think you can just run an online community.

You can't.

Community management is a real job that requires a real and rare skill set, and odds are you do not have the skills necessary to effectively run an online community. I've worked with community managers. A good CM makes all the difference.

If you run a large instance, then hire a professional CM, for pete's sake.

and while i am generally not in the business of telling other admins how to run their instances, dare i say it the only acceptable response to "hey, you have a fascist mod on your staff" is to immediately fire that mod and then do a retrospective to figure out how that happened.
