@trinsec No I have not tried it yet, but I remember having an online friend who really enjoyed and advocated for it. I am going to give it a try now!

In that first decade of learning to code, "logging" was not a concept. Something so painfully useful that seems so simple until you dig in... #logging
@worldsendless it’s definitely a tool that I have yet to take grasp. I have worked mostly in Python and the projects I worked on already had logging set up by others.
Experiencing a lot of crashes with #firefox 10.6.3 on Windows. I hope they fix it soon. Don’t feel like installing chrome on my vm so I am using Edge(which is actually decent tbh).

I appreciate that not only is there a new CD-i game in 2022(!), but it's open source. The CD-i standard itself has been open source for years, but having this source code means an actual practical example you can reference if you want to make something for it.
2022: the CD-i renaissance is real.

Wow, the #Fediverse sure is hopping with activity lately. Can't complain, though. Welcome if you're #newhere!
@shrestha Yes, time to take a “tax” based on my kids’ candy haul!
@adamhsparks @OpenPlantPathology Very cool, that sounds like a great idea for collaboration! Thank you for sharing how you do it!
@betschart Even in the short time I’ve been here I’ve seen a lot of neuroscience and biology researchers join. Hope you can find others from your community here!
@OpenPlantPathology @adamhsparks Have you had any luck with paper’s you submit in this format?
I’m not a researcher, but I would be interested in submitting papers for school using a similar technique. The only issue is that my markdown knowledge is fairly basic so I might need word anyway for formatting changes each time.

SourceHut terms of service updates, cryptocurrency-related projects to be removed
https://sourcehut.org/blog/2022-10-31-tos-update-cryptocurrency/
"Few to no legitimate use-cases for this technology have been found; instead it is mostly used for fraudulent “get rich quick” schemes and to facilitate criminal activity, [...] These projects often encourage large-scale energy waste and electronics waste, which contributes to the declining health of Earth’s environment."
💪 Thanks for this decision, @drewdevault
@trinsec yeah, very good teamwork and a creative idea!
@amdev83 Awesome, can’t wait to see the purple progress! I have been chickening out but over some extended vacation I want to dye my hair blue.
My favorite group of costumes were heinz condiments. There was someone dressed as mayo, ketchup, mustard, relish and bbq. The best part for them is it was low effort because they all just had sweatshirts with the color of the label and the the heinz logo itself. Smart kids!
@shrestha It was wonderful. We are in a high candy zone but at the end of the street so the traffic was low. Do you get a lot of trick or treaters?
@mraharrison lol I was using MetaText on iOS for a little bit and as soon as I saw the option to change Toot to Post I took it

I am setting up a code pong style gamedev project around the @dosgameclub community
The idea is to iteratively and collaboratively create a DOS game, using C and DJGPP. It is open to all interested and I hope to keep a low barrier to participation, which is to happen in short(ish) turns.

@shrestha Boo! Happy Halloween!
