iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Doing some digital spring cleaning and I found an archive of every minecraft screenshot I took from about 2012-2016 whilst developing stuff. Oh boy :D I think this was my first attempt at putting armour on mobs. Look at him 🥺

A minecraft baby zombie covered incorrectly in diamond armour, you can only see the hands and a part of the face sticking out

Fellow tech nerds: We (Ruffle) just noticed that a bunch of websites started including the phrase "Today <date> you use ruffle!" We have literally no idea why. Smells like some malicious injection of some kind. They don't use Ruffle, at least. Any ideas? www.google.com/search?q=%22...

I almost fell for a scam site today, pretending to be the homepage of an OSS project that I was looking for. It looked convincing until I scrolled to read more text. LLM slop is getting scary good at "looks good at a glance". I don't even know _how_ they managed this. Feeding LLM into LLM somehow?

A screenshot of a section of a website, where the text is describing what the text itself should say. For example, 'Clear Message: Show a short line like “DxWnd is safe, open-source, and malware-free.”' instead of the actual example text.

I've started a _very unofficial_ discord server where some mojang developers and modders are discussing the rendering overhaul that Minecraft java edition is going through. It's free for all to read (though it's likely quite technical 😅), but only relevant modders can speak. discord.gg/eWmK8p565c

Hello world! 🙃 I'm alive! Kinda! Ish! I've managed to go to the mojang office 5 whole times this year! That's a big achievement for my health and I'm pretty proud. Now I'm hard at work doing [things] on Minecraft, and I feel like it's going pretty well so far! So many deleted lines of code!
