Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 4hThe most remarkable part of these reports of people using AI to hack things is that they are reported. For every reported case, there must be 1000 unreported cases. 000
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Year 4. Looking good but I am going to prune it after it flowers this time, I have some ideas 🌱 100
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 08/10/2026His first term was only powered by his own ignorance and a little help from artificial ignorance. But it was only with the true power of super ignorance that he was able to start unwinnable wars and bomb girls in their schools 000
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I’d settle for “Super Ignorance” though, that does provide a good punch 100
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 08/10/2026It’s the “intelligence“ part that was wrong, so super makes it an even bigger lie of course. The truer name is “Artificial Ignorance“ 110
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Building an OS doesn't interest me, I see it as an unnecessary layer between the hardware and the app layer. An OS should be as small as possible. The ideal solution is cross platform app engines that communicate directly with hardware over simple, well defined protocols. 010
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Built and ran Waraki on a raspberry pi yesterday for the first time. It took about 10 minutes and works perfectly. I still can’t believe I have my own stack that just builds and runs anywhere. I know it from top to bottom, and it will never change underneath me. Just the best feeling. 020
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 07/10/2026I just added a hex color text entry box. If you enter something that isn't a valid hex color, it generates a random color using the text as the random seed. And so it just so happens that "dave" is this very bright pink. I can make everything very bright pink by entering "dave" everywhere! 261
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Just saw two tūī having a root in a kōwhai tree! It's going to be a good day 040
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I’ve always had a terrible memory, but music has helped massively. Learning to sing songs, I’ve realized it’s just a matter of effort. If you want to remember something, try. If you want to get good at remembering things, try. 020
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I have been relentlessly laying into every fucker that says they don’t want to vote because all the parties suck. My family all hate me now but I think they are mostly voting. 160

Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Stories that tell people what they want to hear are more popular of course, but what do we really think, when will the actual recovery happen? My bet is on 25 years away. ‘Survive for 25’ 000

Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Mollie does look good, thanks! I will look into them further, there are sure to be some other EU based solutions too eh, probably a good option, especially if the NZ based ones don't work out. 010
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Thanks for the suggestions, I should have said I am keen to avoid anything US based. I‘m planning to set up a store for all my games to buy direct, DRM free, simple as. 100
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Thanks all! Keen to avoid Stripe as it is US based, I’d probably only use a non-US solution. 210
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Can anyone help, how does one accept international credit card payments on their website very cheaply and simply from nz? eftpos have this,?

Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 02/10/2026That was the best day this spring. Just wonderful out there, everything was opening up and coming to life 1233
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This is claytonia perfoliata, or miner’s lettuce. It is a weed that showed up here last year, and I let it grow, now I have a couple this year, and I really like them! They are edible too! 🌱 2110
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 01/10/2026I think I prefer the term "meat puppet" to "meat proxy". Proxy implies some kind of authority or ownership of the information as it goes between the original commander and the machine. There aren't any proxies, it's puppets all the way down. 200
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Yesterday I decided to add Chipmunk2D physics to Blockheads 2, and I can't stop imagining the marble runs, the handcar moves, the coconuts bouncing around! I mean think of it! I get to work on this stuff! 😁 000
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I started playing the original Blockheads again as research for the port. Initially it was super fun, but now there is the weight of 100 things I want to improve weighing down the experience. It's good motivation to get BH2 playable, so I can get into that *playtest<->tweak* zone again, I love it! 110
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I just ordered 2 kilos of fudge, and I intend to eat most of it. They are supposed to be for fundraising but I have no shame. 000
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 30/09/2026yeah! It's really cool, and I guess part of why I like it is trying to figure out why. It could be a recessive gene, like if two brown eyed people had a blue eyed child. Or a bee might have brought some pollen from a nearby garden, or it could be a mutation. I like to think it was a bee 🙂 010
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Fantastic! The tall fluffy things from the gardening magazine seed packet last year were all purple, but the self-seeded next generation are not! Love this shit. 151

Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 27/09/2026It’s only “rogue bot incident” if it started in the OpenAI data center. Otherwise it’s just “sparkling malware”. 071
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I am not a violent person ever, I look after and protect everybody around me. But when I watched Zuck talk about “his muse”, I felt an urge to slowly push my thumbs into his eye sockets 040
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 26/09/2026It was after I disturbed them! I should’ve given more context. I had accidentally left my hoodie draped over it in the rain for about 3 days, which they must have liked :) 030
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Found an ants nest on a fence post today. They had a pile of big eggs, and a pile of little eggs. you can see the queen in there too 120
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I get lots of help! I just don't employ anyone right now. I'm going to be working on all sorts of things across the board, some adventuring/survival, some later tech, some usability imporvements, many things! 010
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 24/09/2026There was a baby bird just chirping at me through the window, so we had a conversation and I went and grabbed a worm. The bird came over looking real excited, but then wouldn't eat it and hopped off. I guess it likes some kind of other bugs, I'm not sure, my understanding of bird language is limited 031
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 22/09/2026what a privilege to be working on a game that so many people are excited for! I was asked a couple of days ago what my marketing plan is, and I answered ’release it’ and we both decided that was acceptable in this case. 170
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I guess my view is that the remaining 80% should have voted against him 000

Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 18/09/2026My thoughts exactly. The only dangerous thing about AI is that the fools in power are using it to fuck things up faster. 000
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Now the giant world multiplayer first person 3D cross platform crafting game, that might have been a touch ambitious! And there is a lot more work in that than Katipo, which really says something. We don't have to use HTML/CSS/react/js! We can build better tools! 050
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 17/09/2026I think some people assume I have bitten off more than I can chew with Katipo, that it is too big a job. But it really isn't, my whole point is that the problem is simple enough that it can be solved by one person. Our current solution is complex, but the problem is not, and I'm proving that. 040
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 17/09/2026This is the best advice I have read in a long while 000
Dave Frampton @majicdave.bsky.social · 17/09/2026oooo there are many things. I'm excited to add them. One thing I have mentioned yet is that I want more musical elements. It would be great to be able to craft and play instruments. 110
