  I'd like to introduce @v4siliy@fosstodon.org, who's just joined Fosstodon! I know Vasiliy personally, and he's one of those genuinely intelligent people who always have something interesting up their sleeve. And here's a little spoiler: he might have some fascinating projects involving retro devices to share soon! 👀 If you're into retro tech, give him a follow. I have a feeling it'll be worth it! 😉 #RetroComputing #RetroTech #Introduction

  About a month ago I soft-launched Grid Lands — an idea that lived in my head for years. Since then I've added more mechanics, better balance, and a tutorial. Thanks to everyone who played, broke things, and shared feedback. Thank you 🙏 It’s still very early. Please treat it as early access. If you enjoy experimental multiplayer strategy, come explore the endless grid. https://game.gridlands.io/ #GridLands #IndieDev #GameDev #Minesweeper

  This is too funny, sorry:) How do you think a Eurovision spin-off in Asia is called? (answer first then google it:)) #Eurovision #Asiavision

  How marginal are you? Me: Firefox, Thunderbird, Android, Pear Launcher, Fedora Linux, COSMIC desktop, Fish shell, Mastodon Somewhere between “mainstream-adjacent” and “fully self-inflicted” 😄 #Linux #Fedora #COSMIC #FishShell #Firefox #Thunderbird #Android #Fediverse

  I've just found out that my external display has a tiny, unnoticeable power button. It took me several minutes to intentionally find it again just to turn it back on 😅 I knew it should be the button, but I almost panicked thinking it might have just died. #Hardware #UX

  OK, this is officially the weirdest day of my life. Just had been copying something over SSH. The progress got stuck. I've pressed Ctrl+C and it got unstuck and continued. WTF? #SSH #Linux

  A small Git tip I hadn’t used before 👇🏻 If you want to update your local `main` while staying on another branch: ``` git fetch origin main:main ``` This keeps your local `main` in sync without switching branches—handy when rebasing and you don’t want to rely on `origin/main` or forget to update later 👍🏻 #Git #DevWorkflow #VersionControl

  Want to give your teammates a headache? 😄 Try this on `main`: ``` git commit --allow-empty --allow-empty-message -m "" && git push ``` A commit with no changes *and* no message… perfectly valid, technically cursed. #Git #DeveloperHumor

  I’m putting my little game on Steam, and I paid the Steam Direct Submission Fee through my legal entity. Valve’s confirmation is just a web page with no supplier or payment identification details. It references an invoice number, but I can’t seem to access the actual invoice. ❔ Has anyone paid the Steam Direct fee and found a way to get a proper receipt from Valve? #GameDev #Steam #IndieDev

  Spent 30 minutes the other day with an AI coding agent (the model was Opus 4.7). Made myself a Telegram bot that receives a query, uses it to find a torrent, downloads it, and notifies back when ready. Uses python, rtorrent, prowlarr, and flaresolverr. Prepared podman quadlet based setup for it. This one is going to live on my RPi with a storage box connected. #GenAI #DIY #RaspberryPi
