  Couple of days into work life. I don't know if it's because of everything I'm doing different but I feel non tired for once. I'm taking vitamin d and fish oil and also sleeping earlier since I'm 4 days in office. Interesting times, feels like pre COVID era of work! Haha

  In other news, a new version of cosmic has been released going to version 1.1.0! Great they're continuing to mature it and havent abandoned the idea surrounding it. Its definitely an ambitious project considering its a different tech stack compared to other desktop environments #linux #cosmicdesktop

  RE: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@kaplay/116818634665027920 Cant believe this level of art and game was made by one person for a game jam no less. Built in KAPLAY! #gamedev #indiedev #kaplay

  Who actually thinks all AI providers, even on enterprise arent training on your data? Are we actually naive to think they're scared of the law? #ai #llm

  Are we finally getting helix IDE plugins? That's kinda wild how long its taking to decide on this. Back in the day you just do it and see where it goes 🤣 #editor #helixEditor

• Post #3674182

  But also why the hell would you even consider a lisp based syntax in 2026 for a plugin system? Why do you like this in today's world, are you asking only hardcore tribes to enter the ecosystem? 🤣 #helixEditor

  In the age of AI and chat interfaces, is UI still even a thing?

  Nice start to the day with an iced coffee #coffee

  Tokens go zoooooom zooooom. At work I have to prove value and get shit done fast unfortunately so I lean into AI heavily I wish I wasnt so tired after work so I could scratch the writing code itch. #programming

  Had the most fun game dev session last night, got a lot done. Mainly moving logic from client side to server to enable this beauty of multiplayer. Ever so slightly one step closer to the vision I want #gamedev #indiedev #mmorpg

  Seems like I re-entered heavy into Java at the right time. Less verbose, cleaner APIs, faster start ups. Faster runtime. Modern GC configs. Its not perfect but damn its come a long way #java #programming

  Using AI truly takes the fun out of development. Yes. I HAVE to use it at work. Unfortunately. #softwareDevelopement

  Environment aesthetics in a game matter so much for me, alongside music. It has to be immersive and hook you right in enough for it to be a core memory for gamers. #gamedev

  AI is literally just a glorified and albeit worse off code generator because it doesnt have complete context of your codebase, pattern, architecture, intent and best practices. Yeah sure, I can give it a natural language instructions and guardrails but its still never going to be perfect. And CEOs want to go on a firing spree because of this untested tech #AI #llm

  Fediverse feels like a nice reset from bot infested, pay to spam ads and glorify rage bait, engagement bait content There is no underlying interesting with Mastodon. Only to encourage being able to decentralised and keep your data, yours. #fediverse #mastodon

  Honestly, I've never quite seen an ORM and migration management as good as Django. My first company job used it and it was magical for a junior dev to learn about databases #django #python

  Just played an hour of hytale, very cool to see flatpak support and support in general for linux users off the bat. Played with my wife via LAN, seamless connection too. Awesome to see more games like this #hytale #linux #gaming

  Finally have a reliable screen recorder and now I can showcase bits of functionality I created by focusing on SYSTEMS rather than full blown spec'd games Super fun and satisfying to get working #kaplay #javascript #gamedev

  - Hotkey bar added - Player start can now choose name - Added bow/staff/unarmed anims (cant see this yet but its definitely there haha) #gamedev #indiedev #kaplay

  When you're passion ridden and able to grow your community with like-minded individuals, it becomes a collective. Thats what I feel like with @kaplay. Response for any help is so appreciated. I have my bias as I support this project monthly now as its been a pleasant experience Open source and passion for the win ❤️ https://kaplayjs.com #opensource #gamedev

  Successfully migrated to colyseus 0.17! Although have a very minimal backend, think it was best to do this now rather than later haha #gamedev #backend

• Post #520778

  Actually managed to hook colyseus with my game to do mining, very cool! kaplayjs + colyseus is the stack im going with #gamedev #indiedev

  I hope qwen and deepseek get more optimized to specific use cases that it blows claude and other models out the water. The only solution left for this AI stupidity to get any better is competition for efficiency and affordability #ai #llm

  The older I get, the more I realise that principles and morals matter. Being human is mattering a lot more in this fast paced world

  Just tried out qwen3.5:9b and its pretty damn good for local llm use. Its pretty good for my personal needs which is awesome I dont want to fund big tech, so I'll run viable models that I can locally and so far its perfect for my use case (handle boring tasks) #llm #qwen

  Open source and the spirit of it is getting completely ruined by AI/OpenClaw bots. The people who run these scam bots dont check the work produced. As a consequence, stricter controls will be put in place making it more challenging as a new open source contributor. How is AI "good" again? #opensource #ai

  Any good live wallpaper solutions I can use with cosmic desktop? #linux #cosmicdesktop

• Post #366486

  At the end of it all. I want to create something successful and sustainable while keeping my principles in place and also be able to break out of my day job. Right now thats placing hopes in game dev and my general ambition is releasing a game within 2 years. And evaluating whether it's worth continuing or not #gamedev

  Seeing ashes of creation get zapped from reality after years of development. Maybe its time for game studios to know that they should maybe just humble themselves and test new ideas along the way to users as you're developing the game? Not have vanity closed/open beta and actually listen to feedback? What a waste tbh. This proves that money and "reputable" people joining doesnt equal success. The genre is at a standstill because I believe users of mmos are largely mat...
