if you're white and you use the internet, you have a duty to ensure that the spaces you are in are not a safe space for white supremacists. no, "oh but I like this person and they've never done anything in MY group" -- listen to us. listen to what we have to say. report people to the mods or if it's an ongoing problem, *leave the fucking group and let people know why you're leaving*.
make mods explain their decisions. make it uncomfortable. make it weird.
it's the LEAST you can do.

Found via the block recs. for poa.st and frennet.link. Seems pretty chummy with them. Same vile shit.

Reminder that I wrote a book for struggling programmers called "The Mediocre Programmer". It's a book about helping folks along on their journey with programming, including advice on finding communities, ranking ourselves (spoiler: it's not helpful), backstage vs. performance, and even the emotions surrounding programming. It's a free eBook released under a Creative Commons license. I hope you'll check it out:

warning about potential inadvertent info disclosure, paypal
hm.
i commissioned a thing and paypal seemed to bring it upon itself to dox the artist right on the invoice by proudly providing their address and phone number, without the artist's knowledge until i informed them.
so, uh... if you're an artist and you send invoices through paypal (or if you do anything through invoices on paypal that wouldn't involve your address and phone number), you might want to double-check and make sure it's not doing that

Was checking out the latest @notimetoplay newsletter and it mentions #Texture, which seems like a pretty straightforward text adventure, browser-based tool.
Was a bit worried it was all stuck on their servers, but you can download your games as HTML files.

Does Unity Web Player still exist in any form? Because I just realized I'm still hosting an early UWP build of TXT World that people might be interested in.

FLOSS release
One of my favourite FLOSS projects has released a new version with a new name: HedgeDoc 1.7
It's a collaborative markdown editing tool and it's great, and a lovely community, as far as I've experienced. I've been using it consistently in my teaching for about two years.
You can find them on the Fedi: @hedgedoc

Feel like I should do a link share, cuz everything bar 1 release on here is #CreativeCommons, most songs have my weird singing on, but also have instrumental versions. There's a general punk/power-pop/goth garage rock focus, with production decisions to enhance that.
So if you need some guitar and live recorded creative commons bits, or just want some free music with odd lyrics, go here: https://osirissaline.bandcamp.com/
Finally started a page for Aseprite, and doing that found a GPL2 fork called LibreSprite.
Not sure how active it is, but cool none-the-less.

folks here might be interested in https://scanlines.xyz, a community forum for diy audio and video started recently with a few friends:
https://scanlines.xyz/t/welcome-to-scanlines/7
"this forum was created as a friendly place to discuss diy video and audio projects, electronic-based art, and related interests. it is hosted on our own servers running discourse, rocket.chat, and peertube, and is intended as a refuge from large corporate social media sites. as a community run space, we hope to facilitate sharing of information and encouragement among newcomers and old schoolers alike."
