My mind sometimes wanders over to Scooby-Doo remakes. There was a pretty terrible one recently, as you might remember.

But one thing I think people forget about the original Scooby-Doo is that all the characters were counterculture. Hippies, draft-dodgers, pot-heads, nerds-

Nowadays culture has drifted and they're not nearly as obviously counterculture.

It'd be fun to create an adaptation which brings back that feel, that kind of "the adults are fuckin' stupid, let's solve crimes" feel.

Fascinating both for what it says about dev & what it says about statistics:

A gamedev realized Linux users were just 5.8% of their sales, but represented 38% of bug reports.

Then they looked at those numbers closer, and realized. Linux users were not experiencing more bugs. Almost none of the Linux-user bugs were Linux-related. Linux users were simply *more likely to file bugs*.

Their conclusion: A linux port pays for itself bc it nerdsnipes ppl into giving u free QA

"The spectre of communism"
Halloween mural in Melbourne quoting the first passage of the Communist Manifesto

it's endlessly funny to me that humanity FIRST figured out how to show pictures on a screen by using carefully calibrated and timed electromagnets to sweep an electron beam of varying intensity across a glass panel coated in phosphor thousands of times a second, and SECOND put a bunch of lights in a rectangle

Apparently the next battle I’m going to have to fight (and will probably lose) with fellow leftists is that Univeral Basic Income programs cannot replace disability income programs, disabled people must be able to augment UBI with additional disability income because of the costs of support needs. And this is true even if the UBI amount is larger than any existing disability benefit. Whatever anyone thinks it costs to live with disability, it’s probably double that. Or more.

Unions: Stop Arming Israel

Palestinian unions have issued an urgent global call to action, calling on workers everywhere to halt the sale and funding of arms to Israel — and related military research.

“We are calling on trade unions in relevant industries:

• To refuse to build weapons destined for Israel.
• To refuse to transport weapons to Israel.
• To pass motions in their trade union to this effect.
• To take action against complicit companies involved in implementing Israel’s brutal and illegal siege, especially if they have contracts with your institution.
• Pressure governments to stop all military trade with Israel, and in the case of the US, funding to it.” (Source: Workers in Palestine, Progressive International)

We ask workers and unions in so-called Australia to heed this call on every point. So-called Australia manufactures and exports arms to Israel, an act of material support for genocide.

We call on unions in manufacturing, engineering, logistics and all other industries participating in the arms trade:

• To direct their members to refuse to build or transport weapons destined for Israel, or to participate at any point in the supply chain for those weapons.
• To support workers who refuse to participate in the manufacture and supply of weapons destined for Israel, whether members or not. This includes strike funds and legal support.

We also call on unions and peak bodies whose members do not directly participate in the arms trade, but who share funds, spaces and affiliations with other unions and institutions that do:

• To demand that these unions and institutions heed the calls listed above.
• To enact all necessary steps to ensure these calls are heeded. This includes refusing to share funds, spaces or affiliations with those unions, peak bodies and institutions, until participation in the supply of arms to Israel is halted.

Following the global call for solidarity from Workers In Palestine, Britain’s RMT union has voted to oppose the delivery of weapons to the Israeli regime. S.I. Cobas, a union in Italy’s logistics sector, has vowed to “oppose any shipping of weapons to Israel”. The All India Central Council of Trade Unions has called on workers worldwide to “unite and boycott manufacturing or loading of weapons and military equipment destined to Israel”.

Solidarity with Palestinian workers.

End union complicity in genocide.

This open letter is an autonomous initiative in solidarity with the people of Palestine. Please share and circulate widely.

Oh, i think you misheard. This is a horseworming party

Hi there! i been studying a bunch of papers about the move and collide algorithm. Some of them are almost 20 years old. After a bunch of work i finally have this implemented: continuous collision detection and sliding along the desired velocity with an improved formula that goes from potentially infinite recursions to resolving it fully on a max of 3 iterations while avoiding any jittering. This is raw input as velocity.
