video games are kind of like if every 5 years you had to buy new glasses to look at the latest paintings in a museum. and then every 8 years they delete the paintings because they stopped making the old glasses. sometimes they repaint the paintings but the vibes are all off now

Been a busy week in #cwtchdev. I now have a final cut of custom profile images in @cwtch_im which uses the same underlying API as file sharing.

@bascule in 2022, the snowden revelations warned the public about the dangers posed by *checks notes* spotify subscribers trying to cancel podcasters

omg someone actually rebuilt the C++ standard with "behavior is undefined" replaced with "i *will* cry"

it's beautiful 😿

@_mawhrin @hipsterelectron if you weren't a rando trying to start a dogpile, you'd maybe realize i'm simultaneously opposed to blockchain tech/integration AND bad logic deployed against bad ideas. but you are so bye :)

[(e)Rinn Atwater @errorinn]

reduce inequality! but crypto is too high-risk to expose the poors to. ecofash is a fake idea! but anything that uses as much energy as bitcoin should be illegal. proprietary standards are evil! except for game objects, which belong in corporate silos. i am a leftist

[(e)Rinn Atwater @errorinn]

@hipsterelectron so you get it. my logic is correct; you simply aren't following the same people i am

Discreet Log is back!

Today @errorinn talks about how we are using Flutter Cucumber, Gherkin scripts, in addition to custom steps and hooks, to significantly expand the scope and depth of automated UI testing in @cwtch_im.

@glenuntermeer @mcclure111 it has two dictionaries. Ls = potential answers, As = accepted words. https://t.co/ILozcY8wOY

@mcclure111 itll never be the solution tho

[(e)Rinn Atwater @errorinn]

funny story: when i took this screenshot, i thought the last step was failing because the test script was incomplete. but actually, the download folder really wasn't saving when edited manually, and now the bug is caught + fixed :D

[(e)Rinn Atwater @errorinn]

today in #cwtchdev: greatly improving our automated integration/regression testing with @cucumberbdd (visualization thanks to @g_kushang https://t.co/rtZlhWMoA1). Discreet Log post coming next Friday :)

@nyquildotorg this is it; the artificial scarcity itself isn't the thing people have a problem with. it's the REASON the artificial scarcity was imposed. the reason for implementing the thing is different from the thing itself

[(e)Rinn Atwater @errorinn]

so far my understanding of the "artificial scarcity" critique is that it's bad/evil if used for nfts but okay if it's for video games, and the key difference is *mumble mumble*

[(e)Rinn Atwater @errorinn]

@nyquildotorg so which is it? i can instantly get a trillion rupees in breath of the wild because they're not scarce, or i can't, because the scarcity is a result of the natural world? if they're not artificially scarce then it has to be one or the other, by definition
