Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 18/09/2026I'm sure you know this, and it's besides your point, but it's just "company suddenly wants industry regulation to damped competition." Paying to host an OS (Chinese) model is cheap enough to prevent market control. The "dangerous reports" and calls for regulation are entirely motivated by that. 010
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 07/08/2026I don't use Fedora, but I think it's the right choice for most people right now. Especially the KDE version. You can tweak it to look and behave however you like. The defaults are good and well supported. Flatpaks are king. I've been using Endeavor OS at home and work for the last couple of years. 020
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 07/08/2026Great collab! Would love to see more w/ Emily! I love to see more creators get into Linux. I liked your reasons for the laptop (Win 11), but $100 more would nab you a T480 with 2-4x perf, ram, & ssd. Each reason for distro hopping was painful, but a canon event. You can get DR to work on anything. 120
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 30/06/2026There's certainly room for underscore style library for Godot! 010
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 23/06/2026I know of at least one AI platform that actively filters copyright responses. I know because I helped implement that protection. 120
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 29/05/2026You could also do this with a normal map and gain a lot more control, but it won't apply universally like your technique will. You'd have to make a normal map for each sprite. 100
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 28/05/2026Arcade baseball may be one of the greatest game loops. It's 4 tightly coordinated minigames in one. Pitching, batting, fielding, running. 000
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 27/05/2026We've entered the era of "the computer you have" rather than the "computer you can buy." 100
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 27/05/2026Our ability to produce modern chips at scale is incredibly fragile. Any sort of geopolitical or economic disruption could cause us to get knocked back 10 years (with a 10 year recovery). Already at the consumer level we've reached "the compute you have" rather than "the compute you can buy" levels. 120

Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 17/04/2026I’ve been using a desktop peek hot corner gestures since Linux x11 got desktop 3d acceleration in the mid 2000s. But I used it for widgets. The more feature parity the better. 000
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 16/04/2026Still shows me as wishlisted so that sounds like a scary bug. 000
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 10/02/2026Can you imagine what modern action dungeon crawlers would be like now if the Hero of Time was jumping around like Mario just because it was 3D? 120
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 10/02/2026It's great how they expanded on concepts in LTTP like optional collectables, dungeon levels, more dungeon gating by dungeon items, etc while still forging new territory with z-targeting, auto-jumping, self-pacing side activities (fishing). They also avoided doing what Mario64 was doing. 110
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 10/02/2026Turning 45 has me reflecting in the same way I reflect on all milestones these days — what would my dad think of my life at this point? 050
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 23/12/2025Unless a non-ai generated ui summarized the actions the ai requested for you to approve, you’re taking a risk. Maybe that was what happened with the approval you’re talking about? 000

Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 23/12/2025@howieeday.bsky.social had a Unity rewrite of WC going where he pre-rendered sprites for fighters and 3d capital ships with some special pixel/lighting shaders. Pretty amazing work. 230
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 23/12/2025LLMs are not ready to be tied to direct actions. They'd have to make workflows with user validation for every LLM action, but who wants to babysit an LLM? We don't have robust logic/reasoning models, nor the training data. Stacking LLMs to validate the actions of other LLMs doesn't work. 100
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 23/12/2025Nikolai Kardashev predicted this in 1964 with his civilization scale based on energy consumption. 000
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 23/12/2025We've already seen compute in general stagnate to a fixed $/watt ratio in the last 5 years. Now that the vast majority of compute will be in the form of services, humanity's progression will be tied to generating electricity. At the moment, we're tapped. 110
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 23/12/2025Corporations and governments will completely dominate TSMC's allocations, leaving nothing left for individual consumers. Samsung will make chips for TVs and Phones. Global Foundry and Intel's foundries will pick up the rest. 100
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 23/12/2025Here is my dire prediction. RAM prices will stay. Nvidia and corps will push cloud compute like GeForce Now / Xbox Cloud. Game devs will have to continue targeting 2021 hw for 5+ years. Consumers will not get compute allocation outside of phones and TVs. No PS6. If you want a 16GB GPU, get it now. 101
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 17/12/2025Rebel Galaxy Outlaw came so close to scratching this itch. The combat needed to be deeper. But the thing that killed it for most people was the disastrous mid game balance. Such a small thing that completely ruined it. 050

Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 18/09/2025Most of them have been. Quite a bit of knee bending and ring kissing in the last decade. It's been very direct and public in the last year. Did you see who was at the inauguration? We literally watch shameless bribes with Tim Apple happen live. Very few holdouts left. 120
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 12/09/2025Yeah, tags seem very effective on bsky in helping you reach your audience because of how easy it is to follow feeds. The Godot community is very active here! 010

Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 26/08/2025In elementary, we had spelling tests every week, and the workbooks had an appendix with acceptable alternatives. For example, it said that "layed" and "tomatoe" were also correct. As a nerd, I took it literally and memorized them. 40 years later, it still trips me up. 020
Nathan Fritz 🌯 @fritzy.io · 21/08/2025The two Star Trek games announced this week were not on my bingo card. - A Voyager base management game - A VR zombie game where you as a vulcan try to hold onto your logic as you slowly turn into a zombie They're both a bit out of left field, but I'm here for it. 010
