According to the #Neocities stats, it turns out my Nose Ears website recently has passed the 2,000,000 total views mark! Cool.

I hope all my readers enjoyed the work so far. 🙂

If really like Nose Ears, please share it far and wide and tell people about it. I want Nose Ears to be seen. 🙂

I changed the trading menu in #Repixture a little to use icons instead of text. Here's a before/after comparison.

New item in #Repixture: With label and graphite, you can not only name creatures, but also chests and other containers.

I know this #news is slightly dated, but as a former #OpenStreetMap contributor, this is #infuritating.

https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/beware-of-fake-beaches-pokemon-go/112413/29

OpenStreetMap is awesome. But vandalism to get an unfair advantage in a game (#cheating) is not.

But I also blame Pokémon Go; the game should have never trusted a source data blindly in the first place; if you know the Internet, you should have predicted this.

Experimenting with per-biome sky color in #Repixture.

Experimenting with a new tree in #Repixture: The fir.
Fir wood will be the darkest wood in the game, and will be notably darker in painted form.

I plan to eventually add some kind of mountain biome, where the firs grow.

A not very well-understood form of #bigotry is #aphobia.

An #educational thread. 🧵

Aphobia is bigotry against #asexual (#ace) or #aromantic (#aro) people (sometimes agender, too). And in the following posts I will do a little explainer.

(I won't talk about agender, because I'm not agender.)

Wuzzy, 26 days ago to trans

I have a theory why #transphobes like #ElonMusk HATE the word "#cisgender" so much.

Because this word implies that there isn't anything truly special or weird about #trans people. It helps to put things into perspective, and normalize trans people a bit.

Accepting the word "#cisgender" implies that trans people have a point (and they do). But if you're a transphobe blinded by hate, you can't have that. Even a simple word would be too much of a concession.

As long society accepts genital "surgeries" on #intersex babies so they conform to some bullshit norms, we cannot call ourselves enlightened.

"Two common goals of these cosmetic 'normalizing' surgeries on children’s genitals are to enable #heterosexual penetrative intercourse, and to help the child #conform to #gender and sexual norms"

It's based on #ideology, not #science.
It MUST be condemned like #FGM <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Female_genital_mutilation>.

What they do to #intersex children should HORRIFY everyone.

"Removal of gonads can end options for fertility and will lead to lifelong need for hormone #therapy. The genital surgeries done on intersex children can result in loss of sexual sensation and ongoing #pain. The procedures are #irreversible, in that tissue or organs that are removed cannot be replaced, nerves that are severed cannot be regrown, and scar tissue can limit options for future surgery."

#Exile is one of my favourite games in #Minetest, even if it is still incomplete. It's all about survival in a strange land.

Friends do not let friends vote fashists into power.

Wuzzy, 30 days ago to Germany

I don't need a judge to know the #AfD party in #Germany is a #fashist threat. This party upholds an ideology of "ethnopluralism" which is basically the #nazi race ideology for the modern era. Also, many of its members are also deeply hostile to the #LGBTQIA+.

What the politicians say in public is already bad, but journalists keep uncovering dirty secrets.

@Volksverpetzer keeps exposing their lies. (Use a machine translator of your choice to understand German.)

🚨 BREAKING #NEWS! 🚨

A German court just decided the Federal Office for the Protection of the #Constitution (#Verfassungsschutz) can continue to classify the #AfD party as a "rechtsextremer Verdachtsfall" ("suspected case of #right-wing #extremism"). This is the 2nd-worst classification. The worst is "gesichert rechtsextrem" ("assured right-wing extremism").

The judge said "The smoke alarm of the constitution goes off.".

Well, shit. Apparently there's now a bot on Twitter that can tell the location based on a single photo with a precison of 20 miles.

In other words, deleting #EXIF data is no longer enough. 😯

#Repixture 3.15.1 is here!

Sign text will now finally be shown on the sign. Over 60,000 glyphs are supported. A new pole sign can stand on the ground, hang from the ceiling or a wall.

There's also a spyglass item, and moon phases have been added.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: NEVER, I repeat, NEVER write your next 200,000 words novel in Google Docs. Otherwise you might get rugpulled.

https://www.wired.com/story/what-happens-when-a-romance-author-gets-locked-out-of-google-docs

It's not just Google, of course. When you trust your data to ANY #cloud service, you can get rugpulled at any moment without warning. Remember, they have the de-facto control over the data, and you don't.

Users completely underestimate how risky the use of #cloud storage is, which is very frustrating. But to be fair, the corporations don't really warn them.

I'm not saying #cloud storage can never be used, but if you have to use it, there are some rules:

▶️ Assume everything will be nuked tomorrow
▶️ Assume the state is watching your activity
▶️ It must not be your primary storage. You must have at least 1 full copy on devices you control
▶️ All files in cloud storage are basically public

This is my sign test wall where I've been testing Unicode rendering on the signs in #Repixture, using various #Unicode strings.

🟩 green = OK
🟨 yellow = Unsupported, but renders as U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER (also OK)
🟥 red = FAIL

I think I should maybe call it a day.

Just saw a "indie game dev" video claiming the main reason why most indie games fail is not lack of marketing, but because they suck. I feel personally attacked lol.

I guesss "git gud" applies to game devs, too. 😅

How #Arabic should render (left) vs how it would render on #Repixture signs (right) if I would re-enable it.

RTL support works, but that's not good enough. If I understand correctly, the glyphs also need to connect.

But then, even #GNU #Unifont (the font I use) doesn't seem to have the neccessary glyph variants.
