#Lazarr! #GameDev #Luanti

@oblomov Ok, there's ONE possibility that comes to mind: Donations. Several websites do it. Wikipedia is one example (not for videos of course).

But I guess it depends on a case-by-case basis on how big you can grow w/ only donations.

There might be other ways, too, idk.

@bovaz @oblomov I don't claim to have all the answers, but I know enough to know that paywalls are NOT a replacement for moderation.

Just look at X where the paying users also tend to post the most unhinged pro-nazi trash.

The argument for making "posting videos free" is that authors provide the actual value to the site. Without authors, YouTube would crumble to dust.

I am tired of the ideology that says creative ppl need to be THANKFUL to be ALLOWED to present their work.

@oblomov idk. Admittedly, I am kind of an idealist.

And want to rant about clickbait, AI slop and ads.

My (probably naive) prediction:

The first #video website that bans #clickbait, #ragebait, #AI slop and #ads will replace #YouTube.

#Internet #web

This is sad.

#NotABug #git #www #AI

It's honestly humiliating to see how many #FreeSoftware projects are still so ADDICTED to #GitHub.

#GiveUpGitHub #Microsoft #software #development #rant

Believe it or not, but I started making even more levels for #Lazarr!

This is my first "real" (non-tutorial) level using the new one-way glass.

I plan to build 18 levels using the new blocks (one-way glass, filter glass and dichroic mirror).

▶️ Get Lazarr! here: https://wuzzy.codeberg.page/Lazarr/

New block variants of the filter and one-way glass panes in #Lazarr!

Unlike the flat glass panes I posted previously, some of those blocks may be taken, placed or rotated by the player, just like many other things in the game.

@ElektroBento "it might take up to 72 hours for changes to take effect"

Lolwut? Do they run their IT on toasters or why does it take so long? 😆

Also, I like the illusion of choice here. Yes or no, you get ads either way. 🤡

I’ve been making new glass panes for #Lazarr! today.

Filter glass removes color components of lasers. For example, a green filter glass removes blue and red.

One-way glass allows lasers to go through only from one direction.

@ROllerozxa It's just for the mirrors, but still.
Seems like more and more devs are being FED UP with Copilot bullshit.

YES YES YES!

#Gentoo is planning to ditch #GitHub in favor of #Codeberg.

They mention the continued attempts to force #Copilot into the workflows as a reason.

I knew #SuperTux for a long time. Recently, the beta version 0.7.0-beta.1 came out and I’m impressed by the amount of work put into this version. 👍

This is basically a near-full #remake of the entire game: Remade all official levels, even Bonus Island 1, remade graphics, remade music, remade enemies, remade power-ups.

It’s like you’re playing a new game.

This version still has rough edges and bugs (obviously), but the game is going the right direction.

#release

The #Rowhammer talk at #CCC is basically a tradition at this point.

So obviously it has returned to #39C3 and if I understood it right their conclusion was that 12.5% of RAMs (that they tested) are vulnerable to automated #Rowhammer attacks. Ouch!

#CCC #hacking #security

The #39C3 talk "Agentic ProbLLMs" was great and disturbing. I strongly recommend it to watch it later on media.ccc.de.

Several exploits using agentic AIs (e.g. #Copilot, #Claude Code, #Jules, #Devin, …) were demonstrated, allowing to pwn your computer. In some cases without user interaction.

The highlight was a proof-of-concept virus that attacks git that replicates whenever a developer uses "analyze code with #AI". 🤡

#hacking #exploit #agent #CCC

Due to confusions, I think I need to clarify my involvement status regarding #Luanti:

1) My main current involvement in Luanti is the development of #games and mods *for* Luanti. My latest finished games are C.O.W. and #Lazarr! Other games include #Repixture and #HadesRevisited
2) I am NOT officially a Luanti core dev. I made a couple of contributions to the C++ code tho
3) I make sure the #German #translation stays up-to-date
4) In the past I wrote a LOT for the wikis

In case you want to give a present to someone in #Luanti, there is this "Giftbox2" mod. 😉

In the last few days, I was busy working on the #Luanti documentation (function data types, esp. integers), but also on a feature started by community member jp/kilbith: Hypertext tooltips.

Hypertext tooltips will introduce text formatting and images to the tooltips. Thanks to jp/kilbith, who did the bulk of the work.

Both changes not official yet.
