Anyway ya, I'm broke and sad. All I want is someone to let me hyper-focus on their hyper-niche and get paid. 🤷

(I've literally done all these things and much more, but because it was decades ago or "done as a hobby" it's meaningless)

Video games were a bus I should have got off a decade ago. Nobody seems convinced I can contribute meaningfully to middleware, code graphics drivers, write firmware for embedded devices, work in the Chrome/Firefox/Linux Kernel sources, all because I spent some years running an online community. 🤷

Once my commitments to Ludum Dare are complete, you likely won't see me around these parts much; Maybe to hawk my "art" (under a new pseudonym), but if I'm well behaved that should be it. Mistakes were made. I sacrificed everything for the sake of others, and I can't get a job interview anywhere. 🤷

So I spent most of the time between Ludum Dare 59 and now away from BlueSky, and ignoring most of the world news. 🙉 While yes I missed hearing from my friends, not-gonna-lie it was the most mentally chill few months I've had in years. 🧊 TMI addiction is real and extremely harmful folks. 🙅💬

The database is fine, but I'm reluctant to say more until I have successfully made a full local backup. 🤞

Me: Not dead. Servers: Not right. I'm concerned. Currently: Trying to make a local backup, but my local backup SSD seems to be dead. 😖 Regrets: Checking the price of replacement drives. 😵‍💫

Lazy approach is to frame a slow motion shot that shows your screen and input device. When input is received (used), something on screen needs to immediately change. Then you just count the number of frames between you smashing the input and the screen changing.

It would be OS dependent, display dependent, AND input device dependent (i.e. any input device that does a debounce would technically be slightly lagged). Generally speaking you can roughly test this with a high speed camera or high-speed capture mode on your cellphone.

Canadians, we have limited time to take action on C-22, the disaster surveillance (and much other terrible things) bill: opencivics-labs.github.io/dontsurveil.... Make your voice heard. There's not much time left!

opencivics-labs.github.io

Canada is about to weaken every lock on your private messages — dontsurveil.me

Bill C-22 would force every messaging app in Canada to build a second key, and give the copy to the government. What's changed, what's happening now, what's next.

So it turns out if you go cybernetic in Stellaris, then there's a risk that your species will invent the War Thunder forums.

event pop up:

in an appalling display of foolishness, a naval cadet has leaked classified information. A dedicated fan of networked combat simulators, the cadet got into an argument with other players about the angular velocity of the turrets on our destroyers.

to bolster their position, the cadet uploaded several classified blueprints of our ships, documents which quickly spread across the galactic network. Although the culprit has been dealt with, voices on the Council are calling for a wholesale ban on online gaming as a result of this incident.

It's multi-faceted. I care that people feel an event or a result is fair. Regardless of the objections to how a model is trained, people who don't use AI don't want to be compared against people that do (except when it makes them look good).

I had to message my brother "bad news, FF11 will soon be free to play up to level 75". 😅

Mike Sux 🍁 @distraction.engineer · 15/05/2026

Not to mention many people use AI in place of search engines these days. 🤷 Like I said, it may be a losing battle. What I want is a wording that doesn't require clarification.

Mike Sux 🍁 @distraction.engineer · 15/05/2026

Must be. Okay. I can't remember how high I ever got, but I seem to remember either level 30 or 60 being important for unlocking multi-classing, new classes, or something. I don't think I ever hit 75.

Mike Sux 🍁 @distraction.engineer · 15/05/2026

WUT! DO NOT READ THIS IF YOU SUCCESSFULLY QUIT PLAYING FF11... crap.

Mike Sux 🍁 @distraction.engineer · 15/05/2026

WUT! Last I played I could have swore 60 was either the level cap or just some magically "too large" number. 😳

Mike Sux 🍁 @distraction.engineer · 15/05/2026

Another easily overlooked issue is base-code/libraries. We allow 3rd party libraries and middleware, but there is an impossible number of dependencies to have to check whether AI was used on them or not. Hypothetically you could bypass an "AI was not used to write this" restriction with this. 🤷

Mike Sux 🍁 @distraction.engineer · 15/05/2026

Something we easily overlook is AI translation. As an example, someone might only be able to participate because they used AI translation. AI translation is nothing new, but today's LLMs are dramatically better than previous generation ML translation models. 🤷

Mike Sux 🍁 @distraction.engineer · 15/05/2026

"Generate" as a term would be inclusive of your various content generators (Suno, Stable Diffusion, etc), but *could* be interpreted as excluding AI touch-up brushes, or AI's that insert or filter content (i.e. prompt: make the character glow). "Create" I want to say is all encompassing. 🤔

130

Mike Sux 🍁 @distraction.engineer · 15/05/2026

It saddens me, but I don't think we can assume people didn't use AI by default. The proliferation of AI in everything means you have to try to NOT use AI, meaning we should assume AI was used UNLESS they specifically say it wasn't. Also I just realized "create" vs "generate" is a debatable word. 🤦

Mike Sux 🍁 @distraction.engineer · 15/05/2026

It might be a losing battle, but I'm pondering what #LDJam #NewLD could do to sustain a "Compo-like" vibe. Game submission metadata: [ ] NO AI WAS USED to write code [ ] NO AI WAS USED to create visual content [ ] NO AI WAS USED to create audio content [ ] NO AI WAS USED to generate other data 🤔

Got briefly logged out of this app yesterday and saw this login screen which is such an inaccurate representation of the Bluesky experience that I think it could be legally actionable

Before anyone goes 'But what did they ACTUALLY do wrong to get banned?', the dev's theory really does seem accurate: They drew tired office workers in their mid/late 20s looking too cute. store.steampowered.com/app/3079280/... Steam doesn't have 'rules'. Just vibes that moderation staff can invoke

Allegedly, the X-Men cartoon theme was ripped off from Linda, a Hungarian show that ran from 1984 to 1991. The composer filed a lawsuit that was settled out of court. To me, the similarities sound a little too close to be a coincidence. Either way, this Linda intro absolutely rules.
