I've written a lot, in other places about how the modern web is a trashfire. I'm not going to re-hash all those ideas here, but I'll sum up:

- Massive downloads for no reason
- Arbitrary code execution
- Tracking you constantly (advertising)
- Increasingly silo'd
- Tracking you constantly (NSA Panopticon)
- Bad Laws (we'll discuss this at length.)
- EME/DRM in browsers

"You tire me"
Is a negative statement out of context that can become a massive compliment when spoken by an insomniac.

I managed to have an unexpectedly productive day! Got tomorrow's page done, fixed some bugs, got fading-out working on map transitions (before it would immediately cut to black, and then fade in the next map).

I use a shader to enforce a fixed palette for the game, and the way it makes the fading look has grown on me, I might keep it.
(Testing with the boxy map because the nicer one doesn't have loading zones in it.)

Time for bed with zero guilt.

An ActivityPub conference would be awesome.

I would go, would you?

People have been showing me @ubuntustudio as a good distro to introduce to creator type people to linux a good while ago, didn't look too much into it. 😅

Now today going through their webpage I actually find it a really great resource for open-source tools for audio, graphics, video and the like. It even has a own adiohandbook which is a big resource of how to do audio stuff.

You can check it out here: https://ubuntustudio.org/

The middle is the important point.
Without it, almost nothing happens.
No matter how hard they push,
Far right and, equally, far left
Accomplish little without
The fulcrum of compromise.

Wow, FileZilla’s bundled installer includes a malware downloader and the dev defends it horribly.

If using FileZilla, uninstall and find something else. Even if this issue is fixed, the morally ambiguous and defensive response is very concerning.
