Not necessarily true. Bigger car doesn’t necessarily mean a safer car. It’s complicated and SUVs have made car accidents more dangerous because they are heavier and are much more likely to flip compared to a car with a low centre of gravity. They also are far more dangerous AGAINST sedans and hatchbacks due to the mass difference

Here’s an article that looks at some of the research.

SUVs do provide perceived safety because drivers are higher up and in a bigger car but that’s not valuable whatsover in an accident.

I don’t know about the rest of the world but in Australia SUVs were treated with less restrictive emissions standards as sedans or hatchbacks so car companies pushed them very hard, some fleets completely removing sedans and hatchbacks from their line up and replacing them with Compact SUVs.

I’m pretty certain most of the SUV craze is just very effective marketing.

Do you have a working laptop or desktop? Learn to code. Actually code none of that vibe code bullshit. Making games is fun and rewarding and has an amazing community.

Usually just insecure people who hang around with other insecure people who always need to prove their toxic masculinity to each other. Then others get roped in because you get excluded from the group if you don’t get involved. It’s very tribal and stupid and fortunately it’s getting less and less common amongst younger men.

And obviously religion plays a big part because being gay is sinful in many religions.I suspect a lot of it got worse around the time Christian values became the “default” cultural representation for pop culture in the west.

That is when an anomaly is around. It’s to get you to go and have a look.

Australia: 0900-1500. 6 sessions broken up by recess and lunch.

I like it mostly because the characters are incredibly easy to care about and connect to, and the depiction of a small town in the pacific northwest is so enchanting. It feels like a soap opera at times but in the best way possible.

The rest of it is incomprehensible but it really adds to the dreaminess of it all.

I respect any piece of media that executes on an artists vision, and twin peaks is so Lynchian that it deserves at least a try.

Also find it interesting how it’s almost impossible to fit it into an archetype. You can almost never guess if someone will like Twin Peaks or not.

What the fuck

Hey! I got all of them working using bottles and the all in one launcher.

That’s not unfortunate to be honest. It’s how they can make a search engine that is both good and doesn’t harvest user data or rely on ads.

Wanted to be a marine biologist as a kid. Then found out that people actually made video games. Now I make video games for a living. It’s alright

Domestication is interesting because your average German shepherd is arguably living a significantly higher quality of life than a wolf living in the wild. While they may not have the same “freedom” as a wolf living in the woods, the wolf lives in its own shackles, always fighting for food, shelter and protection from predators. While I don’t disagree that having pets is fundamentally a problematic concept, I also think its always a bad idea to attribute abstract human traits and concepts onto animals, most of which want food, water, safe territory, and engagement.

Almost every animal specialist I talked to never talks about animals as if they were people, they always have a sense of respect for them being an animal and of a different species. I suppose they have a greater understanding of what an animal “wants”.

Hmm odd. So there isn’t really much of a difference between using libre sprite and aseprite.

It used to be gpl licensed

Yeah it does look like cloud sync is free now. I was a pretty early adopter of bitwarden so I believe originally you had to pay for cloud sync support, but I may be wrong.

Still, I’ll continue to support them because they’re the only password manager I’ve used that has some semblance of mutual respect.

Basically storing an encrypted backup of your secure content so that a password you add to bitwarden on desktop can be accessed via your phone, accessible via a login.

Bitwarden. It’s free and open source, but you can pay for a subscription if you don’t want to self host for synchronisation between devices. It’s very cheap and no doubt worth it.

Also Aseprite, for pixel art and custom format exports.

Edit: looks like both these programs are just straight up fully featured and freely available now.

He’s recently been less active due to an illness and then death in the family. He talked about it in a community post. Either way, I’m glad he found a pace that better fits him.
